Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety of sampeginterferon-β1a (samPEG-IFN-β1a) 180 μg and 240 μg administered once every 2 weeks compared to placebo and low dose interferon beta-1a (LIB) 30 μg administered once weekly. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis aged 18-60 years, with Expanded Disability Status Scale score ≤5.5 were randomized at a ratio of 2:2:2:1 to the following groups: samPEG-IFN-β1a 180 µg, samPEG-IFN-β1a 240 µg, LIB, placebo. After 20 weeks, the placebo group completed the study. After week 52, the final analysis was performed, which included the primary endpoint analysis, the LIB group patients completed their participation in the study. The patients in samPEG-IFN-β1a groups continued to receive therapy with samPEG-IFN-β1a 240 µg until week 100 inclusive. The results of the final analysis after 52 weeks have been previously published. The current article presents a long-term efficacy and safety of samPEG-IFN-β1a after 104 weeks of the trial. RESULTS The annualized relapse rate over the second year was 0.16 in the samPEG-IFN-β1a 180 μg group and 0.09 in the samPEG-IFN-β1a 240 μg group. By week 104, the proportion of relapse-free patients was 77.0% (87/113) and 83.3% (95/114) in the samPEG-IFN-β1a 180 μg and 240 μg groups, respectively. There were no negative dynamics of MRI markers, neurological deficit parameters and cognitive functions by scales and tests. The safety profile of samPEG-IFN-β1a was consistent with the known safety profile of IFN-β therapy. CONCLUSION Treatment with samPEG-IFN-β1a is an effective and safe first-line therapy for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients.

Abstract
Choroid plexus epithelial cells can secrete cerebrospinal fluid into the ventricles, serving as the major structural basis of the selective barrier between the neurological system and blood in the brain. In fact, choroid plexus epithelial cells release the majority of cerebrospinal fluid, which is connected with particular ion channels in choroid plexus epithelial cells. Choroid plexus epithelial cells also produce and secrete a number of essential growth factors and peptides that help the injured cerebrovascular system heal. The pathophysiology of major neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, as well as minor brain damage diseases like hydrocephalus and stroke is still unknown. Few studies have previously connected choroid plexus epithelial cells to the etiology of these serious brain disorders. Therefore, in the hopes of discovering novel treatment options for linked conditions, this review extensively analyzes the association between choroid plexus epithelial cells and the etiology of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and hydrocephalus. Finally, we review CPE based immunotherapy, choroid plexus cauterization, choroid plexus transplantation, and gene therapy.

Abstract
The advent of interferon therapy for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) was a massive advancement in the field and changed the course of the disease. While the exact mechanism of interferon therapy in MS is unknown, disease control is likely mediated by reducing Th1 and Th17 cells while increasing regulatory T cells and altering the cytokine profile. Interferon therapy not only gave physicians and patients an evidence-based treatment option to treat MS by decreasing relapses and the accrual of disability but it also provided valuable insight into disease pathophysiology that allowed for the development of further treatments. Currently, there are 18 disease-modifying therapies available for the treatment of MS with varying efficacies, routes of administration, and mechanisms. As treatment options in the field have evolved, interferon therapy is less commonly prescribed as first-line therapy, because the newer therapies are more effective and better tolerated. That being said, interferons still have a place in the field in both clinical practice and clinical trial research. In this review, we will summarize the safety and efficacy of interferon therapy and discuss its current place in MS care.

Illuminating an Invisible Epidemic: A Systemic Review of the Clinical and Economic Benefits of Early Diagnosis and Treatment in Inflammatory Disease and Related Syndromes. J Clin Med 2019; 8:E493. [PMID: 30979036 PMCID: PMC6518102 DOI: 10.3390/jcm8040493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2019] [Revised: 04/06/2019] [Accepted: 04/08/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Healthcare expenditures in the United States are growing at an alarming level with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) projecting that they will reach $5.7 trillion per year by 2026. Inflammatory diseases and related syndromes are growing in prevalence among Western societies. This growing population that affects close to 60 million people in the U.S. places a significant burden on the healthcare system. Characterized by relatively slow development, these diseases and syndromes prove challenging to diagnose, leading to delayed treatment against the backdrop of inevitable disability progression. Patients require healthcare attention but are initially hidden from clinician's view by the seemingly generalized, non-specific symptoms. It is imperative to identify and manage these underlying conditions to slow disease progression and reduce the likelihood that costly comorbidities will develop. Enhanced diagnostic criteria coupled with additional technological innovation to identify inflammatory conditions earlier is necessary and in the best interest of all healthcare stakeholders. The current total cost to the U.S. healthcare system is at least $90B dollars annually. Through unique analysis of financial cost drivers, this review identifies opportunities to improve clinical outcomes and help control these disease-related costs by 20% or more.
