Polymyositis is a rare and favourable outcome subtype of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy in Chinese patients
CONCLUSIONS: Strictly defined typical PM is a rare clinical subtype in Chinese IIM patients. Typical PM patients with classical pathology were MSA-negative and responded well to treatment and had a favourable prognosis. It is crucial for clinicians to combine clinical, serological, and pathological features to properly distinguish PM from other IIM subtypes.PMID:38488095 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/7v9d2x (Source: Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology)

Quantitative whole-body muscle MRI in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies including polymyositis with mitochondrial pathology: indications for a disease spectrum
AbstractObjectiveInflammatory myopathies (IIM) include dermatomyositis (DM), sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM), immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), and overlap myositis (OLM)/antisynthetase syndrome (ASyS). There is also a rare variant termed polymyositis with mitochondrial pathology (PM-Mito), which is considered a sIBM precursor. There is no information regarding muscle MRI for this rare entity. The aim of this study was to compare MRI findings in IIM, including PM-Mito.MethodsThis retrospective analysis included 41 patients (7 PM-Mito, 11 sIBM, 11 PM/ASyS/OLM, 12 IMNM) and 20 healthy controls. Pattern of ...

A bibliometric analysis of the research status and trends in studies on polymyositis and dermatomyositis with interstitial lung disease from 2000 to 2022 using Web of Science
ConclusionThis study found that research on PM/DM with ILD has increased over time, and scholars are paying more attention to this field. The development of new drugs for the management, treatment, and prevention of PM/DM with ILD is the primary task of researchers and a direction for future research in this field.
