Abstract
Introduction Le confinement strict de mars 2020, visant à contenir la pandémie de SARS-CoV-2, a réduit l’accès aux soins et les interactions sociales. Nous avons souhaité en étudier les conséquences sur l’incidence des infections sexuellement transmissibles (IST). Matériel et méthodes Étude rétrospective, multicentrique, des tests de dépistage du Chlamydiatrachomatis (CT), du gonocoque (NG), de la syphilis, du VIH et du VHB réalisés dans les CeGIDD du Grand Est, entre le 18/03 et le 31/08/2020 avec analyse en 4 sous-périodes : confinement strict (18/03–10/05)/limitation des déplacements dans un périmètre de 100 km (11/05–01/06)/1re partie des levées de restriction en juin (02/06–30/06)/2e partie en juillet–août (01/07–31/07), comparativement aux mêmes périodes de 2018 et 2019. Résultats Durant la période de confinement strict, le nombre de tests effectués était significativement réduit (–95 %) avec une incidence de chaque IST stable, avec des observations similaires pendant la période de déplacement restreint (baisse > 50 % des dépistages totaux). Dès le mois de juin, alors que le nombre de tests effectués devenait comparable à celui des années antérieures, on commençait à noter une hausse significative des infections à CT de +8 % et +20 % comparativement à juin 2019 et 2018, alors que l’incidence des autres IST restait alors constante. En juillet–août, l’incidence globale des IST était de +25 % et de +21 %, avec majoration des infections à CT de +46 % et de +56 % par rapport à 2019 et 2018, respectivement. Discussion Nous rapportons ici une augmentation de l’incidence globale des IST durant l’été 2020 dans la région Grand Est, comparativement à l’été 2019 et 2018, marquée surtout par une hausse de l’incidence des cas de CT, suggérant un impact des mesures sanitaires sur le comportement sexuel de la population étudiée. Deux études rétrospectives européennes ont également montré cette tendance à la baisse des tests totaux de dépistages des IST en 2020, avec hausse des cas de CT une fois les restrictions sanitaires levées. Cette recrudescence des cas de CT et son observation précoce dès le déconfinement pourraient suggérer, du fait de l’accessibilité réduite aux CeGIDD pendant le confinement et du caractère principalement asymptomatique des infections à CT, que le comportement des jeunes sexuellement actifs n’ait pas été restreint par le confinement, voire au contraire s’est libéré, comme par opposition à la restriction des libertés. Conclusion Le déconfinement s’est accompagné d’une augmentation d’incidence des IST, que l’on pourrait décrire comme un « IST-boom » durant l’été 2020. Il est important que la communauté médicale en soit informée, notamment pour les IST asymptomatiques, Chlamydia trachomatis en premier lieu, ayant possiblement échappé aux dépistages et qui sont actuellement latentes.

A pragmatic non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis in patients with psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis or Crohn's disease receiving methotrexate therapy. Clin Res Hepatol Gastroenterol 2021; 44S:100003. [PMID: 33602481 DOI: 10.1016/j.clirex.2020.100003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2019] [Revised: 01/12/2020] [Accepted: 01/22/2020] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The reported hepatotoxicity of methotrexate underlines the need for a repeated non-invasive and reliable evaluation of liver fibrosis. We estimated, using a non-invasive strategy, the prevalence of significant liver fibrosis in patients treated by methotrexate and the predictors of significant fibrosis (fibrosis≥F2). METHODS Fibrosis was prospectively evaluated using 9 non-invasive tests in consecutive patients with psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, or Crohn's disease. Significant fibrosis was assessed without liver biopsy by defining a "specific method" (result given by the majority of the tests) and a "sensitive method" (at least one test indicating a stage≥F2). RESULTS One hundred and thirty-one patients (66 Psoriasis, 40 rheumatoid arthritis, and 25 Crohn's disease) were enrolled, including 83 receiving methotrexate. Seven tests were performed on average per patient, with a complete concordance in 75% of cases. Fibroscan® was interpretable in only 61% of patients. The best performances (AUROC>0.9) for predicting significant fibrosis were obtained by tests dedicated to steatohepatitis (FibroMeter NAFLD, NFS and FPI). The prevalence of fibrosis≥F2 according to the "specific" or the "sensitive" assessment of fibrosis was 10% and 28%, respectively. Methotrexate exposure did not influence the fibrosis stage. Factors independently associated with significant fibrosis according our "sensitive method" were age, male gender, and metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSION We provided a non-invasive approach for identifying liver fibrosis≥F2 by using 8 biochemical tests and Fibroscan®. In this population, the risk of significant fibrosis was related to age, male gender, and presence of metabolic syndrome, but was not influenced by methotrexate.

Abstract
Dupilumab, an anti-IL-4ɑ monoclonal antibody, has shown a positive benefit-risk ratio when treating moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in clinical studies (1). High persistence on dupilumab has recently been reported in clinical-practice setting with 77% of patients remaining in treatment for 12 months in a retrospective study including 1,963 patients with AD but reasons for discontinuation were not investigated (2).

Abstract
The epidermis is a living, multilayered barrier with five functional levels, including a physical, a chemical, a microbial, a neuronal, and an immune level. Altogether, this complex organ contributes to protect the host from external aggression and to preserve its integrity. In this review, we focused on the different functional aspects.

Abstract
Functional skin barrier requires sphingolipid homeostasis. 3-ketodihydrosphingosine reductase or KDSR is a key enzyme of sphingolipid anabolism catalyzing the reduction of 3-ketodihydrosphingosine to sphinganine. Biallelic mutations in the KDSR gene may cause erythrokeratoderma variabilis et progressive-4, later specified as PERIOPTER syndrome, emphasizing a characteristic periorifical and ptychotropic erythrokeratoderma. We report another patient with compound heterozygous mutations in KDSR, born with generalized harlequin ichthyosis, which progressed into palmoplantar keratoderma. To determine whether patient-associated KDSR mutations lead to KDSR substrate accumulation and/or unrecognized sphingolipid downstream products in stratum corneum we analyzed lipids of this and previously published patients with non-identical biallelic mutations in KDSR. In stratum corneum of both patients we identified hitherto unobserved skin ceramides with an unusual keto-type sphingoid base in lesional and non-lesional areas, which accounted for up to 10% of the measured ceramide species. Furthermore, an overall shorter mean chain length of free and bound sphingoid bases was observed-shorter mean chain length of free sphingoid bases was also observed in lesional psoriasis vulgaris SC, but not generally in lesional atopic dermatitis SC. Formation of keto-type ceramides is probably due to a bottle neck in metabolic flux through KDSR and a bypass by ceramide synthases, which highlights the importance of tight intermediate regulation during sphingolipid anabolism and reveals substrate deprivation as potential therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Association of IgA vasculitis (IgAV) and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is rarely described, mainly during anti-TNF-α therapy. We aimed to describe the association of IgAV and IBD. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the association of IgAV and IBD through the implication of the GETAID and FVSG networks. Characteristics of IBD and IgAV were collected using a standardized case report form. RESULTS Forty-three cases were included. IBD (mainly Crohn's disease (CD) in 58%) preceded IgAV in 38 (88%), with median interval of 9.2 (IQR 5.4-15.4) years. In these 38 patients, at IgAV diagnosis, 5 (13%) had active IBD and 28 (74%) were treated with anti-TNF-α for a median duration of 31.5 (IQR 19-56) months. Main IgAV manifestations were purpura all patients (100%), joints in 20/35 (57%), renal in 15/35 (43%) and gastrointestinal in 11/35 (31%) involvement. IgAV was treated with glucocorticoids in 25 (66%), colchicine in 6 (16%), cyclophosphamide in 6 (16%), and anti-TNF-α were discontinued in 15/28 (54%). No IgAV relapse occurred when TNF-α blockers were stopped, vs 23% in patients pursuing it. Conversely, 5 (33%) had IBD flare or complication after anti-TNF-α cessation vs 1 (8%) in those continuing biologics. Anti-TNF-α were resumed in 6 (40%), with subsequent IgAV relapse in 4 (67%). CONCLUSIONS This large cohort suggests that TNF-α blockers may promote the onset of IgAV in IBD. Discontinuation of anti-TNF-α was associated with vasculitis remission but increased risk of IBD relapses, whereas continuation of anti-TNF-α was associated with IBD remission but vasculitis relapse.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fat mass distribution, especially in the abdominal visceral region, has been rarely evaluated in patients with PsA or psoriasis (PsO). METHODS Patients with PsA and patients with PsO alone were evaluated and compared with control subjects (1:1 ratio in each patient group) matched for age, sex and BMI category. Body composition and fat distribution (android and visceral fat) were evaluated by DXA. Anthropometric measurements, disease activity and the systematic coronary risk evaluation (SCORE) cardiovascular risk were assessed. Metabolic parameters (insulin, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance), serum adipokines [total and high-molecular-weight adiponectin, leptin, resistin and retinol-binding protein-4 (RBP4)] were measured. RESULTS Data for 52 patients with PsA and 52 patients with PsO and their respective paired controls were analysed. Android fat and visceral fat were found to be significantly higher in patients with PsO compared with their controls, while these measurements did not differ between patients with PsA and their controls. By multivariate analysis, after adjusting for age, sex and BMI, visceral fat was higher in PsO patients compared with PsA patients (P = 0.0004) and the whole group of controls (P = 0.0013). Insulin levels and HOMA-IR were increased in both PsA and PsO groups. High-molecular-weight/total adiponectin ratio was decreased in patients with PsO. RBP4 was significantly higher in both PsA and PsO patients. In patients with PsO, visceral fat strongly correlated with SCORE (r = 0.61). CONCLUSION Visceral fat accumulates more in PsO alone than in PsA. Visceral adiposity may be a more pressing concern in PsO relative to PsA. TRIAL REGISTRATION The ADIPSO study (Évaluation du tissu ADIpeux et des adipokines dans le PSOriasis et le rhumatisme psoriasique et analyse de ses relations avec le risque cardiovasculaire) is a case-control study conducted in Besançon, France, and is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov under the number NCT02849795.

Abstract
CD4 T cells play a key role in anticancer immunity. Here, we investigate the clinical relevance of circulating CD4 Th1 response against telomerase (anti-TERT Th1 response) in melanoma patients. The spontaneous anti-TERT Th1 response was detected in 54.5% (85/156) of melanoma patients before treatment. The prevalence of this systemic response was inversely related to Breslow thickness above 1mm and AJCC stage ≥ II (P = 0.001 and 0.032). In contrast to patients treated by targeted therapies, the anti-TERT Th1 immunity was associated with objective response after immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) treatment. Hence 86% (18/21) of responder patients exhibited pre-existing anti-TERT Th1 versus 35% (6/19) in non-responders (P = 0.001). This response was also associated with increased progression free survival and overall survival in melanoma patients treated with ICI (P = 0.0008 and 0.012 respectively). Collectively, the presence of circulating anti-TERT Th1 response is inversely related to melanoma evolution and appears to be a predictive factor of response to immunotherapy. Our results highlight the interest of telomerase-specific CD4 Th1 response as a promising blood based biomarker of immune checkpoint inhibitors therapy in melanoma.

Constraints on Cosmic Strings Using Data from the Third Advanced LIGO-Virgo Observing Run. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2021; 126:241102. [PMID: 34213926 DOI: 10.1103/physrevd.97.102002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2021] [Revised: 03/31/2021] [Accepted: 05/23/2021] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
We search for gravitational-wave signals produced by cosmic strings in the Advanced LIGO and Virgo full O3 dataset. Search results are presented for gravitational waves produced by cosmic string loop features such as cusps, kinks, and, for the first time, kink-kink collisions. A template-based search for short-duration transient signals does not yield a detection. We also use the stochastic gravitational-wave background energy density upper limits derived from the O3 data to constrain the cosmic string tension Gμ as a function of the number of kinks, or the number of cusps, for two cosmic string loop distribution models. Additionally, we develop and test a third model that interpolates between these two models. Our results improve upon the previous LIGO-Virgo constraints on Gμ by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude depending on the model that is tested. In particular, for the one-loop distribution model, we set the most competitive constraints to date: Gμ≲4×10^{-15}. In the case of cosmic strings formed at the end of inflation in the context of grand unified theories, these results challenge simple inflationary models.

Abstract
We search for gravitational-wave signals produced by cosmic strings in the Advanced LIGO and Virgo full O3 dataset. Search results are presented for gravitational waves produced by cosmic string loop features such as cusps, kinks, and, for the first time, kink-kink collisions. A template-based search for short-duration transient signals does not yield a detection. We also use the stochastic gravitational-wave background energy density upper limits derived from the O3 data to constrain the cosmic string tension Gμ as a function of the number of kinks, or the number of cusps, for two cosmic string loop distribution models. Additionally, we develop and test a third model that interpolates between these two models. Our results improve upon the previous LIGO-Virgo constraints on Gμ by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude depending on the model that is tested. In particular, for the one-loop distribution model, we set the most competitive constraints to date: Gμ≲4×10^{-15}. In the case of cosmic strings formed at the end of inflation in the context of grand unified theories, these results challenge simple inflationary models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Follow-up of juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) patients has demonstrated the impact of the disease on several organs in the long term. OBJECTIVE As there is little information on the long-term outcome of JDM, we aimed to assess long-term outcomes in a series of JDM patients. METHODS After selection of JDM patients, a consultation with a dermatologist and a rheumatologist was held for each patient. Cutaneous, muscle, and disease damage was assessed using different validated scores including the abbreviated Cutaneous Assessment Tool (aCAT), 8-muscle Manual Muscle Testing (MMT8), Childhood Myositis Assessment Scale (CMAS), Myositis Damage Index (MDI), Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ), and Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ). Long-term disease outcomes were recorded including growth and pubertal development, educational and vocational achievement, and development of comorbidities. RESULTS Seven patients were included in the study. After a mean follow-up of 14.9±8.8 years, the mean aCAT score was 0.57±1.4 and only one patient had a positive aCAT activity score. The mean aCAT damage score was 1.4±1.3 and five (71%) patients had a score of ≥1. Five (71.4%) patients had normal muscle strength with an MMT8 score of >72, and none had severe muscle weakness (MMT8 ≤32, and CMAS<35). The mean total extent of damage according to the MDI was ≥1 in five (71%) patients and mainly involved the skin. Two (29%) patients had mild disability according to the CHAQ/HAQ disability index. In terms of quality of life, no patient had a score of<40 (1 SD below the mean for healthy controls). CONCLUSIONS Based on validated cutaneous and musculoskeletal scores, our study demonstrated the good functional outcomes of JDM at long-term follow-up.

Abstract
Background:current data regarding areal bone mineral density (aBMD) in patients with psoriasis (PsO) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are conflicting. Results on Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) in these patients are lacking. 3D-analysis of cortical and trabecular bone from hip DXA is a new method for non-invasive bone structure assessment, providing separate assessment of the cortical layer and trabecular macrostructure.Objectives:Case-control study (NCT02849795)Methods:52 PsO and 52 PsA cases (CASPAR criteria) were each paired to a control subject matched for age, sex and body mass index (BMI). aBMD measurements at (L2-4) lumbar spine (LS), femoral neck (FN) and total hip (TH) were performed using DXA, Lunar GE. TBS was calculated from antero-posterior L2-L4 BMD image using TBS iNsight V1.8 (Med-Imaps, Pessac, France). 3D-SHAPER software (version 2.10, Galgo Medical S.L, Barcelona, Spain) was used to derive a 3D analysis from the hip DXA scans.Results:LS and TH aBMD measurements did not differ between patients with PsO or PsA and their respective controls (Table 1). Left FN BMD was higher in patients with PsO compared to controls (p = 0.028), a difference not observed on the right FN. TBS was similar in PsA patients and their controls while decreased values were observed in PsO patients (p = 0.04). In 3D analysis, none of the parameters differed between patients with PsA and their controls. For patients with PsO, no difference was found with the controls for 3D-DXA parameters from the right FN, while total hip cortical surface BMD (sBMD) of the left FN was higher in PsO compared to their controls (p = 0.037). Similarly, cortical thickness (Cth) of the intertrochanteric and shaft regions of the left FN was also higher in PsO (p = 0.032 and p = 0.033). Finally, analysis by region (neck, intertrochanteric and shaft) showed higher values for cortical sBMD from each region of the left FN in the patients with PsO (all p <0.05).Conclusion:Our results showed comparable aBMD, TBS and 3D proximal femur parameters in patients with PsA and controls. This supports that PsA population is not at increased risk of osteoporosis. In patients with PsO, while LS bone microarchitecture seems impaired, FN displayed better cortical parameters than the controls. Although these results seem marginal, they support the fact that patients with PsO are not at high risk for osteoporosis and hip fracture.Table 1.PsA: psoriatic arthritis; PsO: psoriasis; M: male; F: female; BMI: body mass index; PASI: psoriasis area severity index; CPDAI: composite psoriatic disease activity index; ESR: erythrocyte sedimentation rate; CRP: C-reactive protein; aBMD: areal bone mineral density; LS: lumbar spine; FN: femoral neck; TH: total hip; TBS: trabecular bone score; sBMD: surface bone mineral density; Cth: cortical thickness; quantitative data are mean ± standard deviation; * and ***: paired t test comparing patients with psoriatic arthritis or psoriasis alone to their respective controls; * p < 0.05; *** p < 0.001).PsAPsA controlsPsOPsO controlsN52525252Age (years)52.5 ± 11.752.8 ±11.150.5 ± 12.850.7 ± 12.8Sex (M/F)25/2725/2738/1436/16Menopausal women18 (67%)16 (59%)5 (36%)8 (50%)BMI (Kg/m2)27.4 ± 5.927.7 ± 6.428.4 ± 5.828.2 ± 6.1PASI2.4 ± 4.18.4 ± 4.9CPDAI7.4 ± 3.3ESR (mm/h)19.8 ± 16.6 ***6.9 ± 5.810.7 ± 8.8 ***6.4 ± 6.4CRP (mg/L)10.5 ± 11.7 ***3.9 ± 4.86.0 ± 9.04.7 ± 5.5LS (L2-4) aBMD (g/cm2)1.27 ± 0.491.20 ± 0.201.25 ± 0.211.20 ± 0.18FN aBMD (g/cm2) right0.96 ± 0.120.94 ± 0.140.98 ± 0.150.98 ± 0.15 left0.96 ± 0.160.93 ± 0.121.0 ± 0.14 *0.97 ± 0.13TH aBMD (g/cm2)1.01 ± 0.161.00 ± 0.151.11 ± 0.221.06 ± 0.21L2-L4 TBS1.32 ± 0.111.32 ± 0.151.23 ± 0.15 *1.30 ± 0.16Cortical sBMD (left FN) (mg/cm2)169.7 ± 32.8163.1 ± 29.7182.0 ± 31.0 *173.5 ± 30.3Cth intertrochanteric (left FN) (mm)1.91 ± 0.201.94 ± 0.182.03 ± 0.23 *1.97 ± 0.19Cth shaft (left FN) (mm)2.98 ± 0.313.01 ± 0.283.19 ± 0.36 *3.09 ± 0.29Cortical sBMD (left FN) (mg/cm2)neck135.27 ± 26.9129.67 ± 21.9140.29 ± 24.2 *134.6 ± 22.5intertrochanteric162.32 ± 31.1155.34 ± 29.3171.39 ± 29.1 *163.1 ± 28.9shaft cort269.20 ± 49.0257.12 ± 47.3286.2 ± 47.5 *272.7 ± 45.2Disclosure of Interests:ERIC TOUSSIROT: None declared., Renaud Winzenrieth Employee of: GALGO MEDICAL, maxime DESMARETS: None declared., Daniel Wendling: None declared., Francois AUBIN: None declared., Gilles DUMOULIN: None declared.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The occurrence of immune-related myositis (irM) is increasing, yet there are no therapeutic guidelines. We sought to analyze the current therapeutic strategies of irM and evaluate the outcomes of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) rechallenge. METHODS We conducted a nationwide retrospective study between April 2018 and March 2020 including irM without myocardial involvement. Depending on the presence of cutaneous signs or unusual histopathological features, patients were classified into two groups: typical or atypical irM. Therapeutic strategies were analyzed in both groups. The modalities and outcomes of ICI rechallenge were reviewed. RESULTS Among the 20 patients, 16 presented typical irM. Regardless of severity, most typical irM were treated with steroid monotherapy (n = 14/16) and all had a complete response within ≤ 3 weeks. The efficacy of oral steroids for non-severe typical irM (n = 10) was the same with low-dose (≤ 0.5 mg/kg/day) or high-dose (1 mg/kg/day). Severe typical irM were successfully treated with intravenous methylprednisolone. Atypical irM (n = 4) had a less favorable evolution, including one irM-related death, and required heavy immunosuppression. ICI were safely reintroduced in 9 patients presenting a moderate (n = 6) or a severe (n = 3) irM. CONCLUSION Our data highlight that steroid monotherapy is an effective treatment for typical irM, either with prednisone or with intravenous methylprednisone pulses depending on the severity. The identification of unusual features is important in determining the initial therapeutic strategy. The outcomes of rechallenged patients are in favor of a safe reintroduction of ICI following symptom resolution and CK normalization in moderate and severe forms of irM.
