Abstract

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic, deforming arthritis associated with psoriatic skin lesions. Numerous patients with PsA carry other co-existing chronic diseases, adding to their overall disease burden and affecting the patient’s quality of life. Depression is a common illness known to coexist in about 20% of patients with PsA. Long-term inflammation conditions can make patients more depressed and make the treatment more difficult. Cushing Syndrome (CS) is a complication of long-term treatment due to the exposure of glucocorticoids given to turn the hypothyroid condition into hyperthyroid because hypercortisolism in humans lowers TSH secretion and TSH pulse amplitude. When PsA combines with depression and CS, it will create complex conditions and treatments. The complexity is all about how we control the disease activity of PsA and the vicious circle of an inflammatory process that is difficult to control. Conventional treatment will fail, and targeted therapy with monoclonal antibodies such as anti-IL-17 Secukinumab, is needed. Secukinumab as an anti-IL-17 will block the inflammation pathway from interleukin-17, decrease the inflammation process, and improve the symptoms of PsA. We report a patient with psoriatic arthritis and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) with a major depressive episode with CS and subclinical hyperthyroidism successfully treated with Secukinumab.

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that symmetrically damages the synovial membrane, affecting approximately 13% of the global population. Systemic complications and substantial declines in quality of life may result from untreated rheumatoid arthritis. This study investigated the safety and efficacy of moxibustion and ozoralizumab in reducing disease activity scores in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Between July 2023 and February 2025, we conducted a thorough search on four online databases (PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, and ProQuest) using keywords, reference searches, and other methods following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The obtained randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 (ROB2) tool. MetaInsight version 5.2.1 was utilized to perform the indirect network meta-analysis, using mean difference (MD) as the summary statistics. The measurement of the Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28) indicated that ozoralizumab had a more significant effect on rheumatoid arthritis compared to placebo (MD=-1.88, 95% CI=-2.24-(-1.52)) and moxibustion (MD=-0.69, 95% CI=-1.07-0.31). Ozoralizumab demonstrated mild, moderate, and severe side effects, whereas moxibustion displayed modest side effects in comparison to placebo. In summary, both ozoralizumab and moxibustion reduced DAS28 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, with ozoralizumab proving to be the more effective treatment. However, the adverse effects of ozoralizumab were more varied than those of moxibustion.
