Abstract
OBJECTIVE The presence of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) in primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) ranges from 3% to 9.9%; however, there is no agreement about their clinical significance. Our aim was to systematically review the literature regarding the association of arthritis and ACPAs in pSS and their role in the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHOD A comprehensive search of MEDLINE, ISI Web of Knowledge, and Cochrane Library from inception until June 2016 was undertaken using the combination of two or three of the keywords: primary Sjögren's syndrome, Sjögren's syndrome, arthritis, synovitis, arthropathy, anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies, and anti-citrullinated protein antibody - ACPA. No language restriction was used. Studies were included if they: assessed the association of arthritis and ACPAs, had sufficient data to construct a two-by-two table, tested immunoglobulin G ACPA by any method, and included patients with pSS according to a validated set of classification criteria. We used a random effects model and evaluated the heterogeneity and publication bias. RESULTS Ten studies were included (involving 1322 patients). We found a pooled odds ratio of 4.42 (95% confidence interval 1.15-16.94, p = 0.03). The test for heterogeneity was I2 = 0.87. Publication bias was not observed. Based on data from three studies, 33 of 58 pSS patients with ACPAs (57%) developed RA compared with none of 598 pSS patients with negative ACPA (p < 0.000001). CONCLUSION Patients with pSS disclosing ACPAs are prone to arthritis as part of the clinical spectrum of the disease, but are also at risk of developing RA.

Abstract
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the salivary and lacrimal glands. The aim of the study was to characterize and compare the presence of diverse cytokines and regulatory T and B cells in lip minor salivary gland (MSG) biopsies from patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), secondary SS (sSS), and patients with connective tissue disease (CTD) without (w/o) SS. We included samples of MSG from 15 pSS, 24 sSS (six scleroderma, nine rheumatoid arthritis and nine lupus patients) and 15 patients with CTD w/o SS. Tissues were examined by an indirect immunoperoxidase technique (goat polyclonal anti-human IL-19, goat polyclonal anti-human IL-22 or mouse monoclonal anti-human IL-24). To determine the subpopulation of CD4(+)/IL-17A(+)-, CD4(+)/IL-4(+)-, CD4(+)/IFN-ɣ(+)-expressing T cells, CD25(+)/Foxp3(+) Treg cells and CD20(+)/IL-10(+)-producing B cell subset, a double-staining procedure was performed. We estimated the mean percentage of positively staining cells in two fields per sample. CD4(+)/IFN-ɣ(+), CD4(+)/IL-4(+) and IL-22(+) cell percentages were elevated in both SS varieties; however, the cells were more prevalent in pSS. Patients with pSS had a high number of CD4(+)/IL-17A(+) and IL-19(+) T cells and a lower percentage of IL-24(+) cells (P < 0.05). The Treg and IL-10-producing B cells were increased in pSS (P < 0.05). Concluding, in our patients, a pro-inflammatory and regulatory balance coexists in SS, being both responses more intense in pSS. The explanation of these differences may be related to disease activity, disease duration and treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether bone attrition (flattening or depression of the subchondral bone) was associated with the presence and severity of knee pain and to evaluate the coexistence of attrition and other MRI features likely associated with pain. METHODS Participants in the Framingham Osteoarthritis Study, a community cohort unselected for OA, answered questions about knee pain and underwent knee x rays and MRI. Attrition, bone marrow lesions (BMLs) and effusions were scored on MRI using the WORMS scale. We assessed attrition in knees with and without pain, and using logistic regression examined its association with pain adjusting for age, gender, Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L)grade, BMI, BML and effusion. We also explored the relation between attrition, pain severity and nocturnal pain. RESULTS Attrition (Grade >2) was present in 28% (167/592) of painful knees and in 10% (106/1035) of nonpainful knees (adjusted OR 1.6 (95% CI 1.1 to 2.2)). Of knees with OA (n=368), 74% had pain if attrition was present and 58% if it was absent (adjusted OR 1.2 (95%CI 0.7 to 2.0)). Of knees without OA (n=1222), pain was reported in 39% of knees with attrition and in 27%without it (adjusted OR 2.1 (95% CI 1.1 to 4.0)). We found no association between either attrition/pain severity or attrition/nocturnal pain. Attrition often co-occurred with other OA features associated with pain such as BMLs and effusions. CONCLUSIONS Attrition was associated independently with knee pain. Unlike knees without OA, the association was lost in OA knees where other pathological features that may cause pain also coexisted.
