Adult-onset Still's disease with prurigo pigmentosa-like skin eruption

A 34-year-old woman with adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) developed prurigo pigmentosa-like lesions on her chest and upper back in addition to the typical rash of AOSD. A biopsy specimen taken from the upper back showed characteristic features of prurigo pigmentosa. The eruption and fever subsided immediately after the administration of 40 mg/day prednisolone, but arthralgia persisted even after intravenous pulse methylprednisolone therapy in combination with immunosuppressive drugs. Various atypical skin rashes, including prurigo pigmentosa-like lesions, have been reported in association with AOSD. Therefore, one should carefully follow the clinical course of a patient in order not to overlook these atypical cutaneous manifestations of AOSD.

Crohn’s disease complicated by adult-onset Still’s disease

A 31-year-old man with Crohns disease developed arthritis, spiking fever, and skin rash indistinguishable from that of adult-onset Stills disease. He was admitted to our hospital because of a periumbilical intestinal skin fistula. Crohns disease had been diagnosed in 1991, and had required intestinal resection twice, and schizophrenia had been diagnosed in 1993. He developed polyarthritis and spiking fever, accompanied by a macular skin rash on both forearms. Marked hepatosplenomegaly and bilateral pleural effusion were detected on computed tomography examination. These findings are indistinguishable from those of adult-onset Stills disease. Because his mental status had deteriorated following high-dose prednisolone on a previous admission, he was treated with an immunosuppressive agent on this occasion, with the treatment being successful. This is the first report of adult-onset Stills disease complicating Crohns disease. In patients with Crohns disease, polyarthritis and skin rash can easily be misdiagnosed as enteropathic arthritis with erythema nodosum associated with the Crohns disease. Although adult-onset Stills disease may not be fatal, early diagnosis is important because it can, in rare cases, result in life-threatening complications.     

Sleep bruxism increases the risk for painful temporomandibular disorder, depression and non-specific physical symptoms

To explore the relationship between sleep bruxism (SB), painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and psychologic status in a cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 272 individuals. The Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (RDC/TMD) was used to diagnose TMD; SB was diagnosed by clinical criteria proposed by The American Academy of Sleep Medicine. The sample was divided into four groups: (1) patients without painful TMD and without SB, (2) patients without painful TMD and with SB, (3) patients with painful TMD and without SB and (4) patients with painful TMD and with SB. Data were analysed by Odds Ratio test with a 95% confidence interval. Patients with SB had an increased risk for the occurrence of myofascial pain (OR = 5·93, 95% CI: 3·19-11·02) and arthralgia (2·34, 1·58-3·46). Group 3 had an increased risk for moderate/severe depression and non-specific physical symptoms (10·1, 3·67-27·79; 14·7, 5·39-39·92, respectively), and this risk increased in the presence of SB (25·0, 9·65-64·77; 35·8, 13·94-91·90, respectively). SB seems to be a risk factor for painful TMD, and this in turn is a risk factor for the occurrence of higher depression and non-specific physical symptoms levels, but a cause-effect relationship could not be established.     

温经通络论治骨伤科风寒湿痹证

骨伤科风寒湿痹证颇为多见。该证外因诸邪夹杂,内有阳气为病,邪处肢体经络。脾肾阳气为病在病机变化中尤为关键,该证治须以温为本,温振脾阳而兼解郁安神,温补肾阳不忘滋养肾阴。经络痹阻导致气血不畅和筋骨失养,疏经通络亦是重要治法,通法可根据具体证候及其病机演变,或祛邪或扶正,或相须为用,或有所侧重。温经通络治疗风寒湿痹证,应考虑年龄、体质、病程、病位等个体差异,方由证化裁,药随证配伍。
