Abstract
The psychometric qualities of the proprioception and dynamic trunk control tests have rarely been studied in individuals after stroke. OBJECTIVE To investigate the reliability and validity of the Trunk Position Sense Test (TPS) and Modified Functional Reach Test (MFRT) in persons after stroke. METHODS Thirty-two participants were included. The TPS and MFRT were assessed by two physiotherapists during a first session. After resting, a second session was conducted. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated to assess the test-retest (ICC3,k) and inter-rater reliability (ICC2,k). Pearson correlations coefficients were calculated between TPS/MFRT performances and clinical tests (trunk strength, Timed Up and Go and Balance Assessment in Sitting and Standing Positions - BASSP). RESULTS The TPS inter-rater reliability was good for vertical error (ICC = 0.75 [0.50-0.88]) while it was moderate for horizontal error (ICC = 0.48 [0.10-0.75]) as well as for test-retest reliability (0.39 ≤ ICC ≤ 0.59). As for the MFRT, inter-rater (0.76 ≤ ICC ≤ 0.90) and test-retest reliability (0.71 ≤ ICC ≤ 0.91) were good to excellent for anterior, paretic et non-paretic displacements. Horizontal errors for the TPS (-0.26 ≤ r ≤ -0.36) and anterior MFRT (0.38 ≤ r ≤ 0.64) values correlated moderately with trunk strength. CONCLUSION The MFRT is a reliable test for persons after stroke with trunk control impairments. The TPS does not appear to be relevant for post-stroke individuals. This can be explained by the fact that its procedure is not easily applied for individuals after stroke - who may have significant motor and cognitive impairments.

Abstract
Introduction La pandémie a particulièrement mis en danger nos patients immunodéprimés et questionne notre place dans l’organisation de l’administration des anticorps monoclonaux à titre préventif et curatif. L’objectif de l’étude a été d’évaluer l’activité d’une cellule régionale mise en place pour évaluer l’indication, organiser le traitement prophylactique ou curatif par anticorps monoclonaux ou par antiviraux, quelle que soit la pathologie chronique des patients concernés. Matériels et méthodes La cellule « anticorps monoclonaux et traitements du COVID », composée d’un médecin coordonnateur, de médecins retraités, et d’une secrétaire médicale, a été mise en place début janvier 2022 grâce à un financement par l’ARS. Tous les médecins ont été informés par l’ARS et les URPS, des critères d’éligibilité aux anticorps monoclonaux et du rôle de la cellule dans l’évaluation de l’indication, l’aide apportée pour la demande d’accès précoce et la logistique (injections en hospitalisation de jour ou en hospitalisation à domicile (HAD)). Les structures d’HAD ont été spécifiquement formées aux formalités de prescription, à l’administration et au suivi de ces patients. Les patients ayant reçu un traitement prophylactique ont été recontactés par la cellule la semaine suivant l’injection, 3 mois et 6 mois suivant l’injection. Des questionnaires ont été adressés aux médecins généralistes pour évaluer leur perception concernant les anticorps monoclonaux et les antiviraux. Résultats Au total, 216 patients (dont 121 patients ayant des facteurs de risque cardiovasculaire) ont reçu un traitement prophylactique par anticorps monoclonaux (Evusheld), pour les indications suivantes : 110 patients transplantés d’organe, 95 patients traités par anti-CD20, 2 patients traités par chimiothérapie, 8 patients ayant d’autres facteurs d’immunodépression et 1 contre-indication au vaccin. Les sollicitations de la cellule dans cette indication émanaient quasi exclusivement de médecins spécialistes. Avec un suivi médian de 6 mois, aucun événement indésirable (EI) grave, y compris cardiovasculaire, n’est survenu. Des EI non graves ont été observés chez 50 patients (23 %). Trente patients (14 %) ont été infectés par le SARS-CoV-2, dont 2 ont été traités par anticorps monoclonaux à titre curatif et 2 par Paxlovid. Aucun patient n’a été hospitalisé pour COVID, aucun n’a développé de COVID sévère. Sur les 214 patients recontactés pour une ré-administration d’anticorps à visée prophylactique, 12 (5 %) l’ont refusée. Au total, 85 patients ont été traités par anticorps monoclonaux à visée curative dont 3 par Ronapreve, 68 par Xevudy, 14 par Evusheld, dont 53 (62,3 %) en HAD et 30 patients ont été traités par Paxlovid. Les sollicitations de la cellule dans cette indication émanaient le plus souvent de médecins généralistes. Aucun effet indésirable grave n’a été observé. Conclusion La coordination régionale pour l’aide au traitement par anticorps monoclonaux et antiviraux est utile pour faciliter la prescription de ces traitements. Le suivi prospectif confirme leur tolérance très satisfaisante. Cette coordination a également permis d’évaluer les difficultés rencontrées par les médecins généralistes, en partie liées au caractère innovant, aux difficultés logistiques ou aux contraintes administratives de ces traitements.

Abstract
Objective The objective of this study was to assess, for individuals with hemiparesis after a stroke in subacute phase, the validity and reliability of center of pressure (CoP) parameters measured during sitting balance on an unstable support. Materials and methods Thirty-two individuals after stroke were included in this observational study for validity and reliability (mean age: 64.34 ± 9.30y, 23 men, mean post-stroke duration: 55.64 ± 27days). Intra-Class Correlation (ICC) and Bland Altman plot assessed intra-rater reliability and inter-rater reliability of CoP parameters during unstable sitting balance test (anteroposterior or mediolateral imbalance). Validity was established by correlating CoP parameters with the Modified Functional Reach Test, trunk strength, Balance Assessment in Sitting and Standing and Timed Up and Go tests. Results The findings highlighted significant correlations between CoP parameters and trunk strength for anteroposterior seated destabilization. Good to excellent intra and inter-rater reliability (0.87 ≤ ICC ≤ 0.95) was observed for all CoP length parameters and CoP mean velocity in both mediolateral and anteroposterior imbalance conditions. CoP parameters for mediolateral unstable sitting condition were more reliable than for anteroposterior instability. Conclusion Trunk control assessment during unstable sitting position on a seesaw is a reliable test for assessing trunk control ability in individuals after a stroke. CoP length and mean velocity are found to be the best parameters. Center of pressure values during anteroposterior perturbation is related to trunk strength. Center of pressure length parameters have excellent intra-rater and inter-rater reliability in individuals after a stroke in subacute phase. The reliability is better when the sitting instability is in mediolateral direction.

Abstract
BackgroundVaccination against SARS-CoV-2 is effective in preventing severe forms of COVID-19, but there remain concerns about a reduced vaccine response in patients suffering from inflammatory arthritides who are treated by immunosuppressive therapies.ObjectivesWe analysed the impact of bDMARDs on the humoral anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine response of patients followed in day hospitals.MethodsWe studied the vaccine response after a complete vaccine regimen followed in day hospital in 5 French hospitals and treated with an intravenous bDMARD between September 2019 and August 2021. After obtaining their informed consent, we included patients with an anti-SARS-CoV-2 serology. They were considered non-responders if the antibody level detected was inferior to the threshold of positivity of the kit used.Results205 patients were included (148 females/57 males). The median age was 64 years (Interquartile Range [IQR] 56-71). 25 were treated with tocilizumab (TCZ), 36 with abatacept (ABA), 53 with infliximab (IFX) and 91 with rituximab (RTX). When considering both patients after a complete vaccination schema (2 doses, or 1 dose in case of prior COVID-19) and those with 1 booster dose, 34 patients (16.6%) were non-responders (2 [5.9%] treated by IFX, none treated by TCZ, 9 [26.5%] treated by ABA and 23 [67.7%] treated by RTX). In multivariate analysis, the only characteristics that significantly and independently differed between responders and non-responders were last bDMARD and corticosteroid therapy at the time of 1st vaccination (Table 1). In RTX-treated patients, the delay from last infusion to 1st vaccine dose was significantly shorter in non-responders (median 4.3 IQR [2.9-6.1] months in non-responders versus 8.4 IQR [5.7-14.5] in responders, p=0.0007). Median survival, i.e. achieving a vaccine response in 50% of RTX-treated subjects, was achieved after 277 days (95CI [209-310]) in patients vaccinated with 2 or 3 doses (Figure 1). In ABA-treated patients, the delay from last infusion to 1st vaccine dose was not different between non-responders and responders.Table 1.Patients’ characteristics and comparisons between responders and non-responders.All patients (n=205)Responders (n=171)Non responders (n=34)Univariate p valueMultivariatep valueAge (median [IQR]), in years64 [56-71]64 [54-70]69 [57-75.5]0.070.40Female sex, n (%)148 (72.2)125 [73.1)23 (67.7)0.53Inflammatory arthritides, n (%)0.16**0.24 Rheumatoid Arthritis156 (78.0)128 (74.9)28 (82.4)0.51 Spondyloarthritis33 (16.1)31 (18.1)2 (5.9)0.12 Others*16 (7.8)12 (5.9)4 (1.9)0.31Last bDMARDs at time of 1st vaccination, n (%)0.0004ABA/RTX versus IFX/TCZ < 0.00010.00024 Infliximab53 (25.9)51 (29.8)2 (5.9) Tocilizumab25 (12.2)25 (14.6)0 Abatacept36 (17.6)27 (15.8)9 (26.5) Rituximab91 (44.4)68 (39.8)23 (67.7)Associated treatments at time of 1st vaccination CsDMARDs, n (%)126 (61.5)107 (62.6)19(55.9)0.56 Methotrexate91 (44.4)78 (45.6)13 (38.2)0.46 Median dose in users (mg /week) [IQR]15 [10-17.5]13.8 [10-15.6]15 [13.8-20]0.07 Corticosteroids, n (%)25 (12.2)19 (11.1)6 (17.6)0.29 Median dose (mg /day) [IQR]0 [0-0]0 [0-0]0 [0-2]0.0350.016Previous COVID-19 infection, n (%)23 (11.2)21 (12.3)2 (5.9)0.38Type of vaccine, n (%)0.62 Pfizer169 (82.4)142 (83.0)27 (79.4)0.62 Moderna14 (68.3)11 (6.4)3 (8.8)0.71 Astra-Zeneca17 (8.3)15 (8.8)2 (5.9)0.74 Janssen5 (2.4)3 (1.8)2 (5.9)0.19Vaccination, n (%) Complete167 (81.5)141 (82.5)28 (16.8)0.47 Complete + 1 booster dose56 (27.3)43 (25.1)13 (38.2)0.14Figure 1.Cumulative seropositive rate according to the interval (days) between the last course of rituximab administration and vaccinationConclusionABA and RTX alter the anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine response and were associated with nearly all vaccine non-responses in the present study.

Abstract
BackgroundThe low prevalence of systemic autoimmune diseases and the diversity of their clinical manifestations make complex to conduct randomised clinical trials to assess the potential efficacy of targeted treatments.ObjectivesTo assess the tolerance and efficacy of targeted therapies prescribed off-label in refractory autoimmune diseases.MethodsThe TATA registry (TArgeted Therapy in Autoimmune Diseases) is a prospective, observational, national and independent cohort follow-up. The inclusion criteria in the registry are as follows: age > 18 years; rare systemic autoimmune disease (systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren’s syndrome, systemic scleroderma, inflammatory myopathy, vasculitis) or other refractory rheumatism treated with off-label drugs started after 1st January 2019.ResultsHundred (100) patients (79 females) were enrolled. The median age was 52.5 years [49;56], the median disease duration before enrolment was 5 years [3;7]. The targeted therapies at enrolment were as follows: JAK/STAT inhibitors (44%), anti-IL6R (22%), anti-IL12/23, anti-IL23 and anti-IL17 (9%), anti-BAFF (5%), abatacept (5%), other targeted treatments (9%), and combination of targeted treatments (6%). 73% of patients were receiving corticosteroid therapy at enrolment (median dose 10 mg/day). The current median follow-up time is 9 months [8;10].Safety: 11 serious infections (incidence rate of 14.8 /100 patient-years) and 1 cancer (1.3 cancers/100 patient-years) were observed. Two patients died from severe COVID-19 (2.7 deaths/100 patient-years).Efficacy: The targeted treatment was considered effective by the clinician in 56% of patients and allowed in responders a median reduction of oral corticosteroids of 15 [9-21] mg/day.ConclusionThese initial results of the TATA registry confirm the diversity of targeted treatments prescribed off-label in refractory autoimmune diseases and their corticosteroid-sparing effect when effective.

Abstract
BackgroundThe Fibrosis-4 (FIB4) score, including age, transaminases and platelets, can detect severe fibrosis (F3-F4) in patients with Non Alcoolic Steato Hepatitis (NASH) and could be of interest in the follow-up of patients with RA. Indeed, platelets contribute to the pathophysiology of RA, transaminases are used in the liver monitoring of our treatments. In addition, retrospective data suggested the association between FIB4 and mortality in RA (1).ObjectivesWe aimed to evaluate the value of the FIB4 score as a prognostic factor in RA in the prospective ESPOIR cohort.MethodsPatients of the ESPOIR cohort diagnosed with RA according to ACR-EULAR criteria were included in our analysis. The formula for the FIB-4 score is as follows: [Age (years) × ASAT (U/L)] / [Platelet count (10^9/L) × ALT (U/L)1/2]. The analyses were based on linear mixed-effects models with a random effect on the subject to account for repeated measures throughout time.Results633 of the 813 patients included met the ACR/EULAR criteria for RA and had a calculable FIB4 score. Median FIB4 was 0.75 IQR (0.53-0.99) and 61 patients (9.6%) had a high FIB4 score at baseline. Baseline FIB4 was significantly higher in patients with a chronic alcohol consumption (p=0.021) or viral hepatitis (p<0.001). In multivariate analysis, including the main baseline prognostic factors for progression of RA (swollen Joint Count, CRP, Presence of ACPA, Rheumatoid Factor and modified Sharp score), FIB4 was not independently associated with progression of DAS28 during 10 years of follow-up, unlike baseline CRP and SJC. Baseline FIB4 was not associated with the modified Sharp score at 10-year follow-up unlike age and the presence of ACPA (Table 1). FIB4 was not associated with mortality (p=0.77) or major adverse cardiovascular events (p=0.22) during the 10-year follow-up.

Abstract
Background:The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has induced an exceptional sanitary crisis, potentially having an impact on treatment continuation, for juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients receiving immunosuppressive therapies. In France, after the first lockdown from March to May 2020, many parents and children were then also concerned about whether reopening plans for school could ensure the safety of students, despite data concerning children with COVID-19 seem reassuring, and very few of them develop severe forms of the disease (1, 2, 3).Objectives:Our objectives were to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the therapeutic management of JIA, the frequency of returning to school after the first lockdown period and the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection at the time of the survey.Methods:JIA patients under 18 years of age, usually treated with disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) were prospectively included during their outpatient visit and completed a standardized questionnaire. Data regarding the general characteristics of the participants, medical history, SARS-CoV-2 infection, characteristics of JIA subtypes and treatment modifications were collected.Results:A total of 173 patients from 8 different expert centers were included between May and August 2020. Their mean age was 11.6 years (± 4.1 years), and most of them 31.2% (54/173) had a rheumatoid factor-negative polyarticular JIA. Fifty percent (86/172) were treated with methotrexate, and 72.5% (124/171) were treated with bDMARDs. DMARD treatment modification in relation to the pandemic was observed in 4.0% (7/173) of participants, our results reflect good adherence of the patient/parents to their immunosuppressive treatments. 49.1% (81/165) of the patients did not return to school due to a personal/parental decision in 69.9% (55/81) of cases, due to anxiety of the patient/parents regarding COVID-19. Two patients were diagnosed positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection.Conclusion:This study suggests that JIA patients treated with DMARDs continued their treatment during the pandemic. In contrast, parents’ reluctance was a major obstacle for returning to school. Therefore, more solidified school reopening strategies should be developed.References:[1]Filocamo G, et al. “Absence of severe complications from SARS-CoV-2 infection in children with rheumatic diseases treated with biologic drugs.” J Rheumatol. 25 avr 2020;[2]Tagarro A, et al. “Screening and Severity of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Children in Madrid, Spain.” JAMA Pediatr. 8 avr 2020;[3]Lu X, et al. « SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Children”.

Abstract
Background:Vaccination is an important and effective tool to prevent infections in the general population as well as in patients with systemic autoimmune or inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIIRDs) who may be at increased risk of serious infection. While the global race for vaccines against COVID-19 has already lead to first authorizations and vaccinations in some countries, multiple questions arise for access and provisions as well as for the acceptance of vaccine policies by immunocompromised patients.Objectives:We conducted an international survey about expectations and potential concerns regarding SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in patients with AIIRDs and healthcare professionals.Methods:The online study consisted of 57 questions which addressed determinants associated with SARS-2-CoV-2 vaccine willingness. Dissemination was ensured through social media and patient associations between December 12 and December 21, 2020.Results:The study included 1266 patients with AIIRDs and 265 healthcare professionals from 56 countries. SARS-CoV-2 vaccine willingness was reported by 54.2% of AIIRD patients (uncertainty in 32.2% and unwillingness in 13.6%) and 74.0% of healthcare professionals. In patients, the willingness to get vaccinated increased significantly with age (p<0.0001) and was strongly associated with the fear to be infected by SARS-CoV-2 (p<0.0001) or to develop severe COVID19 (p<0.0001) but not with presence of additional comorbidities (p=0.71) or immunocompromised status (p=0.94). The most trusted healthcare professional regarding the recommendation to get vaccinated against COVID-19 was their specialist (rheumatologist, internist, etc.) for 69.9%. Vaccine unwillingness was low (7.9%) among healthcare professionals and willingness was significantly increased in those who had been vaccinated against influenza in the last 3 years (p=0.01).Subject groupsPatientsHealthcare professionalsN1266265Age (years), median [IQR25-75]50 [40-61]40 [32.5-53]Female, n (%)1141 (90.1%)150 (56.6%)Male, n (%)115 (9.9%)115 (43.4%)Country, n (%) France320 (25.3%)159 (60%) UK345(27.3%)4 (1.5%) Chile123 (9.7%)4 (1.5%) USA114 (9.0%)7 (2.6%) Venezuela43 (3.4%)26 (9.8%) Spain57 (4.5%)3 (1.1%) Mexico53 (4.2%)3 (1.1%) Argentina45 (3.6%)8 (3.0%) Other*166 (13.1%)51 (19.2%)Rheumatic diagnosis, n (%)1266- Systemic lupus erythematosus492 (38.9%)- Spondyloarthritis176 (13.9%)- Rheumatoid arthritis160 (12.6%)- Giant cell arteritis / Polymyalgia rheumatica144 (11.4%)- Primary anti-phospholipid syndrome64 (5.1%)- Inflammatory myositis62 (4.9%)- Relapsing polychondritis45 (3.6%)- Other**123 (9.7%)--Health professionals, n (%)-265 Doctor-203 (76.6%) Nurse (or equivalent)-23 (8.7%) Nursing assistant-11 (4.2%) Other***-28 (10.6%)Associated comorbidities, n (%) Diabetes69 (5.5%)6 (2.3%) Hypertension267 (21.1%)24 (9.1%) Myocardial infarction, stroke, transient stroke60 (4.7%)1 (0.4%) Respiratory disease (asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, etc.)169 (13.3%)13 (4.9%)Renal failure47 (3.7%)1 (0.4%)Obesity (BMI > 30)228 (18.0%)18 (6.8%)At least one associated comorbidity, n (%)588 (46.4%)50 (18.9%)Smoker, n (%)128 (10.2%)22 (8.3%) Current411 (32.7%)51 (19.2%) Past719 (57.1%)192 (72.5%) NeverUse of oral glucocorticoids, n (%)551 (56.1%)3 (1.1%)Immunocompromised$, n (%)770 (60.8%)0On a 0 to 10 scale, median8 (6-10)5 (3-8)[IQR25-75]9 (7-10)5 (1-8)−Afraid to get infected by SARS-CoV-2−Afraid to get a severe COVID-19Willing to get vaccinated (Yes / uncertain / No), %54.2 / 32.2 / 13.674.0 / 18.1 / 7.9Vaccine hesitancy, n (%)357 (28.2%)59 (22.3%)Conclusion:Data from this study are crucial to understand the main expectations and concerns regarding SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in patients with AIIRDs and healthcare workers and allow the identification of valuable strategies to increase vaccine coverage in those populations.Acknowledgements:We wish to acknowledge the crucial role of the following patient associations: LupusEurope (tweeter: @LupusEurope), Agrupacion Lupus Chile (@Lupus_Chile), RarasNoInvisibles (@Noinvisibles), Lupus UK, Lupus France, SPONDYL’ASSO, Spondyl(O)action, AFL+, in the dissemination of the survey.

Abstract
Background:Biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (bDMARDs) and JAK inhibitors (JAKi) may lead to an increased risk of infections, which could be prevented by enhancing patients’ safety skills (ref). We developed a self-administered questionnaire (BioSecure1, ref) in 2013 to assess the patients’ safety skills (Table 1). Following the appearance of new bDMARDs and JAKi and new information on safety, this questionnaire needed updating.Table 1.Nine domains of core safety skills and number of corresponding questions in BioSecure questionnaires.Domain of competenceBioSecure1BioSecure2General knowledge42Dealing with infectious symptoms and fever1011Dealing with other infectious symptoms44Dealing with injuries, preventing infectious complications, vaccinations88Dental hygiene, preventing infectious complications, information to share with the dentist22Planning surgery, information to share with the surgeon/anesthesiologist77Planning child conception21Communication: who to contact?22Subcutaneous treatments: cold chain/cold storage, subcutaneous injection techniques30Objectives:To update the BioSecure questionnaire assessing patients’ safety skillsMethods:Four steps by a 10 participants multidisciplinary steering committee. Step1: critical analysis of content and formulations of BioSecure1 on the basis of i) the participants’ own experience of the questionnaire use in current practice (5/10 participants) or research (6/10 participants) ii) assessment of BioSecure1 consistency with current guidelines for management of targeted drugs. Step2: development of a first updated version by a core group of 10 persons. Step3: comments by an extended panel of rheumatology teams interested in therapeutic patient education (TPE). Step4: testing of the final version (Biosecure2) by ten patients through cognitive debriefing.Results:In total, 10 rheumatologists, 6 rheumatology nurses, 1 pharmacist and 1 patient from a patient association participated. Inadequate formulations were reported regarding some situations for which recommendations had the most shifted since Biosecure1 development such as planning pregnancy, remission management and prevention measures before surgery. Features of some infectious conditions were clarified; barriers measures against infection and complications such as sigmoiditis and Herpes Zoster infection were added. BioSecure2 continues to assess the 9 domains of core safety skills (Table 1). The questionnaire was shortened to 50 items (mean filling in time is 10 minutes) with a good understanding and scoring was simplified (mean scoring time 3.5 minutes).Conclusion:BioSecure2 represents an updated outcome measure to evaluate the patient’s skills to prevent adverse events with targeted therapies. This questionnaire can be useful in the context of patient-health professional communication, and as a tool to measure TPE on safety issues.References:[1]Gossec et al, Joint Bone Spine. 2013;80:471–476Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract
Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased risk of non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma (B-cell NHL).Objectives:1)To study the characteristics of B-cell NHL complicating RA2)To identify the factors associated with their occurrence.Methods:A multi-centre case-control study was performed in France. Cases were patients with RA fulfilling the ACR-EULAR 2010 criteria, who developed a B-cell NHL after the diagnosis of RA. Cases were reported following a call for observations by the “Club Rhumatismes et Inflammation” network, registries from the French society of Rheumatology (AIR, ORA and REGATE) and the ESPOIR cohort. For each case, 2 control patients were drawn at random from patients in the ESPOIR cohort with RA fulfilling the ACR-EULAR 2010 criteria; cases and controls were matched on age (age at lymphoma diagnosis for cases and age at the 10-year ESPOIR visit for controls). Patients with associated Sjögren’s syndrome were excluded. Cases and controls characteristics were compared for parameters associated with the occurrence of lymphoma.Results:A total of 54 cases were included and matched to 108 controls. Lymphomas were mostly diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (n=26, 48.2%)(Figure 1). EBV positivity was found in 4 cases among 27 tested (14.8%). Cases had a mean age of 63.5 years (SD=10.9), and had a mean RA duration of 12.4 years (SD=10.5) at the time of diagnosis of lymphoma; there was no significant difference with controls (p=0.47 and p=0.40 respectively). The mean duration of follow-up after the diagnosis of lymphoma was 5.2 years (SD=5.8). In univariate analysis, factors associated with occurrence of B-cell NHL were: male gender (OR=3.3, 95%CI: 1.7-6.7), positive ACPA (OR=5.1, 95%CI: 2.0-15.7), positive Rheumatoid Factor (RF) (OR=3.9, 95%CI=1.6-12.2), erosions on X-rays (OR=15.4, 95%CI: 6.9-37.7) and DAS28 (OR=2.0, 95%CI: 1.5-2.7). Methotrexate, TNF-blockers and the number of previous biologics were not associated with the occurrence of B-cell NHL. Hydroxychloroquine and sulfasalazine were more frequent in cases versus control, which could be linked to a date bias. Erosions and DAS28 remained significant in multivariate analysis(Table 1).Conclusion:This study revealed an association between markers of activity (DAS28), severity (erosions) and autoimmune B-cell activation (RF and ACPA) and the risk of B-cell NHL in patients with RA, supporting the continuum between autoimmunity and lymphomagenesis in RA.Figure 1.lymphomas histologyTable 1.association between RA characteristics and B-cell NHL in univariate and multivariate analysisVariablesCases (N=54)Controls (N=108)Univariate analysisMultivariate analysisOR (95%CI)p-valueOR (95%CI)p-valueMale gender, N (%)27 (50.0)25 (23.2)3.3(1.7-6.7)0.00062.2(0.8-6.1)0.13Positive ACPA, N (%)49 (90.7)71 (65.7)5.1(2.0-15.7)0.0006--Positive RF, N (%)49 (90.7)77 (71.3)3.9(1.6-12.2)0.005--Positive RF or ACPA, N (%)49 (90.7)80 (74.1)3.4(1.3-10.6)0.012.9(0.7-15.0)0.16Erosions on X-rays, N (%)44 (81.5)26 (24.1)15.4(6.9-37.7)< 0.00019.8(3.8-28.2)< 0.0001DAS28 at B-cell NHL diagnosis/at the 10th year visit*, mean(SD)4.1 (1.6)2.6 (1.4)2.0(1.5-2.7)< 0.00011.9(1.3-2.8)0.0007*B-cell NHL diagnosis for cases, 10thyear visit for controlsDisclosure of Interests:Joanna KEDRA: None declared, Raphaèle Seror Consultant of: BMS UCB Pfizer Roche, Philippe Dieudé: None declared, Arnaud Constantin: None declared, ERIC TOUSSIROT: None declared, Elias Kfoury: None declared, Charles Masson: None declared, Divi Cornec: None declared, Jean-Jacques Dubost: None declared, Laurent Marguerie: None declared, Sebastien Ottaviani: None declared, Franck Grados: None declared, Rakiba Belkhir: None declared, olivier fain: None declared, Philippe Goupille Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Amgen, Biogen, BMS, Celgene, Chugai, Lilly, Janssen, Medac, MSD France, Nordic Pharma, Novartis, Pfizer, Sanofi and UCB, Consultant of: AbbVie, Amgen, Biogen, BMS, Celgene, Chugai, Lilly, Janssen, Medac, MSD France, Nordic Pharma, Novartis, Pfizer, Sanofi and UCB, Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Amgen, Biogen, BMS, Celgene, Chugai, Lilly, Janssen, Medac, MSD France, Nordic Pharma, Novartis, Pfizer, Sanofi and UCB, Christelle Sordet: None declared, Bruno Fautrel Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Lilly, MSD, Pfizer, Consultant of: AbbVie, Biogen, BMS, Boehringer Ingelheim, Celgene, Lilly, Janssen, Medac MSD France, Nordic Pharma, Novartis, Pfizer, Roche, Sanofi Aventis, SOBI and UCB, Peggy Philippe: None declared, Muriel PIPERNO: None declared, Bernard Combe Grant/research support from: Novartis, Pfizer, Roche-Chugai, Consultant of: AbbVie; Gilead Sciences, Inc.; Janssen; Eli Lilly and Company; Pfizer; Roche-Chugai; Sanofi, Speakers bureau: Bristol-Myers Squibb; Gilead Sciences, Inc.; Eli Lilly and Company; Merck Sharp & Dohme; Pfizer; Roche-Chugai; UCB, Olivier Lambotte Consultant of: BMS France, MSD, Astra Zeneca, Incyte, Christophe Richez Consultant of: Abbvie, Amgen, Mylan, Pfizer, Sandoz and UCB., Jérémie SELLAM: None declared, Thomas Sene: None declared, Guillaume Denis: None declared, Thierry Lequerre: None declared, Xavier Mariette Consultant of: BMS, Gilead, Medimmune, Novartis, Pfizer, Servier, UCB, Gaetane Nocturne: None declared

Abstract
The serodiagnosis of Lyme borreliosis is based on a two-tier strategy: a screening test using an immunoenzymatic technique (ELISA), followed if positive by a confirmatory test with a western blot technique for its better specificity. Lyme serology has poor sensitivity (30-40%) for erythema migrans and should not be performed. The seroconversion occurs after approximately 6 weeks, with IgG detection (sensitivity and specificity both>90%). Serological follow-up is not recommended as therapeutic success is defined by clinical criteria only. For neuroborreliosis, it is recommended to simultaneously perform ELISA tests in samples of blood and cerebrospinal fluid to test for intrathecal synthesis of Lyme antibodies. Given the continuum between early localized and disseminated borreliosis, and the efficacy of doxycycline for the treatment of neuroborreliosis, doxycycline is preferred as the first-line regimen of erythema migrans (duration, 14 days; alternative: amoxicillin) and neuroborreliosis (duration, 14 days if early, 21 days if late; alternative: ceftriaxone). Treatment of articular manifestations of Lyme borreliosis is based on doxycycline, ceftriaxone, or amoxicillin for 28 days. Patients with persistent symptoms after appropriate treatment of Lyme borreliosis should not be prescribed repeated or prolonged antibacterial treatment. Some patients present with persistent and pleomorphic symptoms after documented or suspected Lyme borreliosis. Another condition is eventually diagnosed in 80% of them.

Abstract
Objectives Biosimilar infliximab, the first similar biological medicinal product containing monoclonal antibodies to be commercialised, is likely to contribute to a significant reduction in healthcare costs. We aimed to assess the cost savings potential over 1 year of the use of biosimilar infliximab for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients in Alsace and in France, in a real-life setting. Methods The analysis was based on a previously conducted observational study which evaluated the annual cost of the care of patients with RA treated with biological therapies in 2012 in Alsace. Average annual costs to manage RA patients were calculated, taking into account the decrease in the retail price between 2012 and 2015 (as given in the official national price list) and the local negotiated price for biosimilar infliximab. Annual cost savings for different biosimilar prescription scenarios were calculated using 2015 prices. Results Management of RA patients with biosimilar infliximab was significantly cheaper than with adalimumab or etanercept (€11 907 vs €12 981 and €13 551, respectively). The projected annual cost savings reached €13.6 million nationally, if all adult RA patients treated with the originator infliximab switched to the biosimilar drug. These savings, if fully reallocated for the treatment of RA, would enable the treatment of 1141 additional patients. Conclusions The study showed a positive financial impact of introducing biosimilar infliximab for the treatment of RA patients in France. Such savings could contribute to improved patient care by allowing more patients to be treated without more money being spent.

Abstract
The brown alga Dictyota kunthii is one of the dominant species in the coastal areas of northern Chile affected by copper enrichment due to accumulated mining wastes. To assess its physiological plasticity in handling copper-mediated oxidative stress, 4-days copper exposure (ca. 100 μg/L) experiments were conducted with individuals from a copper impacted area and compared with the responses of plants from a non-impacted site. Several biochemical parameters were then evaluated and compared between populations. Results showed that individuals from the copper-impacted population normally displayed higher levels of copper content and antioxidant enzymes activity (catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (AP), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), glutathione peroxidase (GP) and peroxiredoxins (PRX)). After copper exposure, antioxidant enzyme activity increased significantly in plants from the two selected sites. In addition, we found that copper-mediated oxidative stress was associated with a reduction of glutathione reductase (GR) activity. Moreover, metabolic profiling of extracellular metabolites from both populations showed a significant change after plants were exposed to copper excess in comparison with controls, strongly suggesting a copper-induced release of metabolites. The copper-binding capacity of those exudates was determined by anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV) and revealed an increased ligand capacity of the medium with plants exposed to copper excess. Results indicated that D. kunthii, regardless their origin, counteracts copper excess by various mechanisms, including metal accumulation, activation of CAT, AP, DHAR, GP and PRX, and an induced release of Cu binding compounds. Thus, plasticity in copper tolerance in D. kunthii seems constitutive, and the occurrence of a copper-tolerant ecotype seems unlikely.

Abstract
Health care related infections are expensive untoward events, not only in terms of morbidity and mortality, but also cost. Prevention is essential, as well as limiting dissemination. Specify measures refer usually to hospital hygiene. However, health care tend to be provided more and more outside of the acute care hospital, with increasing complexity and thus risk for health care related infections. This risk varies according to patient's characteristics as well as environmental parameters. Consequently, it is essential to adapt preventive measures to situations such as home health care or nursing homes. We describe a model of regional organization for infection control in various health care settings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To date, only a few series of patients with paraneoplastic arthritis have been published. The charts of patients with cancer-associated arthritis were collected in order to describe characteristics of this rheumatism. METHODS A questionnaire was created for this study and validated by experts based on specific criteria of inclusion and exclusion. Histology of neoplasia was included. RESULTS In all, 16 males and 10 females with a mean (range) age of 57.5 years (28-85) were recruited from 17 nationwide centres in France. Patients presented with symmetric polyarthritis involving wrists and hands (85%) and extra-articular symptoms were frequent (84%). There was no specific biologic or radiographic feature. The mean (range) delay between the diagnosis of rheumatism and neoplasia was 3.6 months (0-21.2). Tumours were usually diagnosed after articular symptoms occurred (88.5%). Twenty patients had a solid cancer, and six a haematological malignancy. Adenocarcinoma of the lungs was the most frequent type of solid cancer (60%). Tumours were diagnosed at an early stage, which may explain the good median survival of 1.21 years (range 0.64-present) with a mean follow-up of 1.9 years (range 0.16-10). The percentage of articular symptoms resolution was significantly higher in patients with solid tumours, as compared to patients with haemopathy (p = 0.007). In cases of tumour relapse, rheumatic symptoms did not recur for 75% of patients. CONCLUSIONS Underlying neoplasia should be considered in male patients with new onset polyarthritis, smokers, and particularly in patients chronically ill. Additional investigations should then be performed to diagnose cancer at an early stage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of sicca symptoms and Sjögren's syndrome (SS) in a 2-center prospective series of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), using the American-European Consensus Group criteria for SS. METHODS Consecutive SSc patients hospitalized for followup care were evaluated for sicca symptoms. When the initial clinical evaluation yielded positive findings, a labial salivary gland biopsy was performed; histologic analysis evaluated focal lymphocytic sialadenitis and/or glandular fibrosis. Computed tomography and respiratory function tests were used to assess pulmonary fibrosis. RESULTS We included 133 SSc patients (mean +/- SD age 55 +/- 13 years; mean +/- SD disease duration 6.5 +/- 6 years). Eighty-one patients had limited cutaneous SSc (lcSSc). Ninety-one patients (68%) had sicca syndrome. Histologic analysis revealed fibrotic involvement in 50 of these 91 patients, but labial salivary gland fibrosis was not associated with any organ involvement we evaluated. Nineteen of the 133 patients (14%) had SS. In this subgroup, lcSSc was present at a significantly higher frequency (18 of 19 patients) than in the remaining patients with sicca syndrome (39 of 72 patients) and the patients without sicca syndrome (24 of 42 patients). This subgroup also had a significantly higher frequency of anticentromere antibodies (18 of 19 patients) than did the remaining patients with sicca syndrome (19 of 72 patients) and the patients without sicca syndrome (5 of 42 patients). In addition, this subgroup had a significantly lower prevalence of pulmonary fibrosis (2 of 19 patients) than did the remaining patients with sicca syndrome (29 of 72 patients) and the patients without sicca syndrome (19 of 42 patients). CONCLUSION There was a 68% prevalence of sicca syndrome in this prospective series of SSc patients. Sicca syndrome was related primarily to glandular fibrosis, the hallmark of SSc. The prevalence of secondary SS, as defined by the American-European Consensus Group criteria, was 14% and was markedly associated with lcSSc. We believe that lcSSc should be regarded as a specific autoimmune subgroup of SSc.

Abstract
BACKGROUND B cell activation may result in an increased secretion of immunoglobulin free light chains (FLCs) in autoimmune diseases. OBJECTIVE To analyse serum FLC levels in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and in those with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). PATIENTS AND METHODS Blood samples were collected from 80 healthy blood donors, 50 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 139 patients with pSS. Serum FLC level was measured using a new quantitative immunoassay. RESULTS Mean (standard error (SE)) serum kappa and lambda FLC levels were significantly higher in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and in those with pSS than in controls (kappa : 18.9 (1.1) and 16.3 (1.4) v 10.5 (0.4) mg/l, p<0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively; lambda: 16.7 (1.2) and 19.3 (1.5) v 11.6 (0.6) mg/l, p<0.001 for both). 18 (36%) patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 31 (22.3%) patients with pSS had abnormal serum FLC levels (increased kappa or lambda levels and abnormal ratio of kappa:lambda). Serum kappa and lambda levels were correlated with other B cell activation markers in both diseases. FLC levels increased with disease activity, because, unlike total gammaglobulin and immunoglobulin G levels, they were significantly correlated with Disease Activity Score 28 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (p = 0.004 for kappa, p = 0.05 for lambda) and with extraglandular involvement in pSS (p = 0.01 for kappa, p = 0.04 for lambda). CONCLUSION FLC levels are increased and correlate with disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and in those with pSS, two diseases in which increased risk of lymphoma could result from persistent B cell activation and disease activity. Further studies are required to determine whether FLC assessment could represent a relevant biomarker for response to treatment (especially B cell depletion) and for the risk of lymphoma in autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Anti-PM/Scl antibodies (Anti-PM/Scl) represent a rarely encountered type of antinuclear antibodies. They have mainly been reported in association with idiopathic inflammatory myositis - systemic sclerosis overlap syndromes (also called scleromyositis or sclerodermatomyositis) but also with polymyositis, dermatomyositis and systemic sclerosis without features of overlap syndromes. Studies concerning characteristics of patients with anti-PM/SCl are rare and include small numbers of patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective review of clinical and biological characteristics of 14 patients with anti-PM/Scl in two University Hospitals: one in Belgium (Erasme Hospital, Bruxelles) and one in France (Hautepierre Hospital, Strasbourg). RESULTS Seven patients were identified in Erasme and 7 in Strasbourg: 5 with systemic sclerosis-(dermato)myositis overlap syndromes, 4 with dermatomyositis, 1 with polymyositis, 3 with systemic sclerosis, 1 with primary Sjögren's syndrome. The most frequently observed clinical characteristics (85% of patients) were: pulmonary interstitial disease and arthralgia or arthritis. No patient of our series died or developed cancer (mean follow-up:6.1 years). CONCLUSIONS Our study failed to identify an homogeneous clinical pattern in patients with anti-PM/Scl, except for 2 characteristics shared by 85% of the patients. This lack of homogeneity is in agreement with preceding literature. We confirm the favourable prognosis associated with the presence of anti-PM/Scl, despite the high incidence of interstitial pulmonary disease. The absence of cancer associated with presence of anti-PM/Scl represents a partial explanation. Finally, we report herein the second case of primary Sjögren's syndrome associated with anti-PM/Scl.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pamidronate has recently been used in SAPHO syndrome due to its anti-osteoclastic effect. The aim of this study is to determine the usefulness of bone remodelling markers for determining the efficacy of pamidronate treatment. METHODS Thirteen patients with SAPHO syndrome were treated with pamidronate. The treatment evaluation was done using a visual analogue scale (VAS) and also erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, serum crosslaps (sCTX) and osteocalcin initially and after 3 months. A relevant clinical response was defined as an improvement in VAS of at least 40%. RESULTS At 3 months, 7 of 13 patients had a good clinical response, as previously defined. Five of the seven patients maintained the good response over 6 months. Before the first perfusion 6 of the 13 patients had increased sCTX (upper 3250 pmol/l). In this small cohort we tried to analyse whether the increase in bone remodelling markers was associated with a good clinical response. In the responders group the mean levels of sCTX and osteocalcin at baseline were 6783.17 and 24.66, respectively, and in the non-responders group the levels were 2152 and 11.8, respectively. There was a significant difference in sCTX between the responders and the non-responders (P = 0.0044). CONCLUSION Infusion of pamidronate is effective in SAPHO in some patients. Increased sCTX might be a prognostic marker for a good clinical response but results have to be confirmed in a larger cohort.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the diagnostic value of serum and synovial procalcitonin (PCT) for bacterial arthritis and to determine the cellular origin of synovial PCT. METHODS A prospective study enrolled 42 patients with acute arthritis including 11 bacterial arthritis, 18 rheumatoid arthritis and 13 crystal induced arthritis. Diagnostic values of serum and synovial PCT levels were determined by a immunoluminometric assay (Lumitest PCT) and compared to those of classical inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, synovial fluid cellularity and both serum and synovial IL-6 and TNF alpha). Using fibroblast-like synoviocyte (FLS) cultures derived from rheumatoid arthritis (n = 4) and osteo-arthritis (n = 3) synovium, with or without stimulation by lipopolysaccharid or recombinant streptococcal protein 1/II, we attempted to determine whether synovial cells could be a source of PCT. RESULTS Serum PCT was the best parameter to distinguish patients with acute bacterial arthritis from patients with crystal induced arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. In setting of an acute arthritis serum PCT (> 0.5 ng/mL) achieved 55% sensitivity and 94% specificity for the diagnosis of bacterial arthritis, while CRP (> 50 mg/L) had 100% sensitivity but poor specificity (40%). Serum PCT appeared to be higher in patients with septic arthritis resulting from "systemic infection" than in cases resulting from direct inoculation. Synovial PCT was not useful to discriminate between infectious and non infectious arthritis in clinical practice. PCT could not be detected at significant levels in the conditioned medium from fibroblast-like synoviocyte cultures. CONCLUSION Serum PCT is a poorly sensitive but specific marker of bacterial arthritis. Use of serum PCT in association with CRP could nevertheless be useful in an emergency situation for the diagnosis of bacterial arthritis.

Abstract
SUBJECT After several decades of hegemony of the T lymphocyte, recent work has suggested the importance of the B lymphocyte in auto-immune diseases. As a consequence, there has emerged over the last few years the idea of using anti-B lymphocyte therapy, in particular rituximab (a chimeric anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody). CURRENT TOPICS AND IMPORTANT RESULTS This review addresses various current topics: a) the role of B lymphocytes in auto-immune diseases, notably their capacity to be antigen presenting cells and to be activated by original systems like Blys/Baff; b) the mechanism of action of rituximab (apoptosis, complement-dependent cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity) and the phenomena explaining failures and cases escaping treatment, in particular among lymphoproliferations; c) The results include efficacy and tolerance data for the principal auto-immune affections. Among these, the most promising indications would seem to be for rheumatoid polyarthritis and systemic lupus erythematosis, although some preliminary open studies point to an effect in Goujerot-Sjögren's syndrome, neuropathies, auto-immune cytopenia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, cryoagglutinins, blistering cutaneous affections... PERSPECTIVES AND PROJECTS Controlled studies will be required to determine the true efficacy and tolerance of this molecule, as it is imperative to validate these new immunotherapeutic strategies, above all when they concern innovative and expensive therapy. Nevertheless, these different observations arouse great hopes and at the same time exciting questions, notably as to the role of B lymphocytes in auto-immune diseases.
