    The aerobic capacity in patients with antisynthetase syndrome and dermatomyositis
    (2019) SANTOS, Alexandre Moura dos; MISSE, Rafael Giovani; BORGES, Isabela Bruna Pires; SHINJO, Samuel Katsuyuki
    Background This study was aimed at evaluating the aerobic capacity of patients with antisynthetase syndrome (ASS) and dermatomyositis (DM) and analyzing possible relationships between aerobic capacity and disease status, cardiovascular diseases and their risk factors. Methods The study was a cross-sectional, single-center study that assessed the aerobic capacity of 22 women (13 with DM and 9 with ASS) who were matched by age and body mass index to 17 healthy women (control group). The aerobic capacity (oxygen uptake [VO2 peak], anaerobic threshold, respiratory compensation point and time-to-exhaustion) was evaluated using the cardiopulmonary treadmill test. Disease status was assessed using International Myositis Assessment & Clinical Studies Group (IMACS) set scores. Results The patients had low IMACS parameters that showed low or absent disease activity. The distribution of cardiovascular diseases and their risk factors was similar between the patients and the control group (P > 0.05) at the time of the analysis. The patients with DM and the control group had similar aerobic capacity. However, the patients with ASS exhibited significantly reduced aerobic capacity (relative VO2 peak, anaerobic threshold, respiratory compensation point and time to exhaustion) when compared to the control group. In addition, patients with ASS had a lower anaerobic threshold compared to the DM group. There were no significant relationships between the aerobic capacity and disease status, cardiovascular diseases and their risk factors. Conclusion In contrast to DM patients and healthy individuals, patients with stable ASS have significantly impaired aerobic capacity, which is unlikely to be totally explained by traditional cardiovascular diseases, their risk factors and disease status. Further studies are needed to corroborate our data and to clarify the cause of this reduced aerobic capacity in ASS.

    Transcranial direct current stimulation is safe and effective in autoimmune myopathies: a randomised, double-blind, sham-controlled trial
    (2023) SOUSA, L. F. A. de; MISSE, R. G.; SANTOS, L. M. dos; TANAKA, C.; GREVE, J. M. A.; BAPTISTA, A. F.; SHINJO, S. K.
    Objective We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in patients with systemic autoimmune myopathies (SAMs).Methods This prospective, randomised, sham-controlled, double-blind, study included 20 patients with SAMs allocated to receive sham or active tDCS (2mA, 20 minutes, 3 days). Electrodes were positioned with the anode over the C1 or C2, whereas the cathode was placed over the Fp2 or Fp1, respectively. The groups were evaluated in four periods with specific questionnaires and functional tests: pre-stimulation and after 30 minutes, three weeks, and eight weeks post-tDCS.Results Two patients from the sham group withdrew after the three sessions. The demographic data, type of myositis, disease duration, and disease status were comparable between the active and sham tDCS groups. After interventions, in the active tDCS group, the physical aspects of SF-36 in week eight, mean and better timed up-and-go test at each evaluation, peak torque of stimulated inferior limb extension improved significantly (p<0.05). The emotional aspect of SF-36 decreased only in the active tDCS group (p<0.001). The patients' adherence to the protocol was 100% and no serious adverse event was reported, including disease relapses.Conclusion This study evidences the safety of tDCS, as well as its potential efficacy in improving muscle strength and function in SAMs patients. More studies with a larger sample and longer tDCS sessions are necessary to corroborate the results of the present study.

    High prevalence of fatigue in patients with Takayasu arteritis: a case-control study in a Brazilian centre
    (2022) SANTOS, Alexandre Moura dos; MISSE, Rafael Giovani; BORGES, Isabela Bruna Pires; SILVA, Sarah Luiza Gomes da; KIM, Ana Woo Sook; PEREIRA, Rosa Maria R.; SHINJO, Samuel Katsuyuki
    Objectives. Several studies have shown not only a high prevalence of fatigue but also a reduction in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with rheumatic diseases. Owing to insufficient research in this area, we aimed to assess the prevalence of fatigue and its contribution to impairment of HRQoL in patients with Takayasu arteritis (TAK). Methods. This single-centre case-control study included 53 TAK patients who were matched by age, BMI and sex with 100 healthy individuals. Aside from the patients' general data, the following information was collected: disease activity, level of activities of daily living (HAQ), physical activity levels and chronic fatigue. Results. The TAK patients and healthy individuals were comparable in terms of current age, BMI and sex distribution. The median disease duration of TAK was 13.0 (7.0-20.0) years, and 11 (20.8%) patients had active disease. Compared with healthy individuals, patients with TAK had a higher prevalence of fatigue and lower HAQ score, physical activity level and intensity, and physical and psychosocial domains of the modified fatigue impact scale (P < 0.01). Moreover, TAK patients had increased fatigue rates compared with the healthy individuals (fatigue severity scale: odds ratio = 2.6; 95% CI = 1.2, 5.4; modified fatigue impact scale: odds ratio = 2.6; 95% CI = 1.2, 5.5). Fatigue was positively correlated with worsening HAQ, CRP levels, daily prednisone dose and disease activity, and negatively correlated with disease duration. Conclusion. TAK patients have a higher prevalence of fatigue, which affects different aspects of the disease, including physical function. Thus, fatigue-focused treatments should also be considered in clinical practice.

    Feasibility, safety and efficacy of exercise training in immune-mediated necrotising myopathies: a quasi-experimental prospective study
    (2019) SOUZA, J. M. de; OLIVEIRA, D. S. de; PERIN, L. A.; MISSE, R. G.; SANTOS, A. M. dos; GUALANO, B.; PINTO, A. L. de Sa; ROSCHEL, H.; LIMA, F. R.; SHINJO, S. K.
    Objective To evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of exercise training in patients with immune-mediated necrotising myopathies (IMNM). Methods Eight consecutive sedentary patients with IMNM (5 anti-signal recognition particle and 3 anti-hydroxy-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A reductase) were engaged in this study. Disease status was based on International Myositis Assessment and Clinical Studies Group (IMACS) core set measures. Physical performance was evaluated by cardiopulmonary exercise test, repetition maximum (RM) protocol, handgrip dynamometry, sit-to-stand (STS) and timed up-and-go (TUG) tests. All these parameters were measured at baseline and after a 12-week, twice-a-week, supervised exercise training comprising aerobic and strength exercises. Results Patients (aged 61 years on average) were very disabled at the beginning of the disease (mean duration of 17.7 months), but after being aggressively treated with a treat-to-target approach, they presented only mild symptoms that were well-controlled with oral immunosuppression and low disease status scores by the time of the exercise intervention. No disease relapsing, worsening of the IMACS set scores or adverse events were observed throughout the training period. Patients also increased aerobic capacity (e.g. time to achieve anaerobic threshold and time to achieve exhaustion), muscle strength (e.g. 1RM bench press) and function (e.g. STS test). Conclusion Supervised exercise training did not impair disease status and seemed to be feasible, safe and effective in patients with IMNM. Moreover, exercise training increased aerobic capacity, muscle strength and function, suggesting that this could be a novel potential coadjuvant therapy in IMNM.

    Physical exercise for the management of systemic autoimmune myopathies: recent findings, and future perspectives
    (2021) SANTOS, Alexandre Moura dos; MISSE, Rafael Giovani; BORGES, Isabela Bruna Pires; PERANDINI, Luiz Augusto Buoro; SHINJO, Samuel Katsuyuki
    Purpose of review The aim of this review is to present the main pieces of evidence, recent literature and to present future perspectives on the use of exercise/physical training in the treatment and improvement of the quality of life of patients with systemic autoimmune myopathies. Recent findings In the last decades, knowledge about the relevance of physical exercise training in preventing and treating chronic diseases and improving quality of life has grown. Following the global trend exemplified by the expression 'exercise is medicine', the importance of exercise/physical training has also grown in myopathies. However, the science of exercise has a lot to collaborate on and improve patients' quality of life with myopathies by appropriating new technological tools, including accessible and low-cost devices and smartphone apps. Physical exercise, as already consolidated in the literature, is an effective, well tolerated, and low-cost strategy for patients with myopathies. The use of wearable devices, smartphone apps, and online training prescriptions must accompany the global scenario, bringing new research fields and expanding the options for access to training for the individualized basis, and prescribed by qualified professionals.

    Systemic autoimmune myopathies: a prospective phase 4 controlled trial of an inactivated virus vaccine against SARS-CoV-2
    (2022) SHINJO, Samuel K.; SOUZA, Fernando H. C. de; BORGES, Isabela B. P.; SANTOS, Alexandre M. Dos; MIOSSI, Renata; MISSE, Rafael G.; MEDEIROS-RIBEIRO, Ana C.; SAAD, Carla G. S.; YUKI, Emily F. N.; PASOTO, Sandra G.; KUPA, Leonard V. K.; CENEVIVA, Carina; SERAPHIM, Julia C.; PEDROSA, Tatiana N.; VENDRAMINI, Margarete B. G.; SILVA, Clovis A.; AIKAWA, Nadia E.; BONFA, Eloisa
    Objectives. To evaluate immunogenicity and safety of an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in systemic autoimmune myopathies (SAMs) and the possible influence of baseline disease parameters, comorbidities and therapy on immune response. Methods. This prospective controlled study included 53 patients with SAMs and 106 non-immunocompromised control group (CTRL). All participants received two doses of the Sinovac-CoronaVac vaccine (28-day interval). Immunogenicity was assessed by anti-SARS-CoV-2 S1/S2 IgG seroconversion (SC), anti-S1/S2 IgG geometric mean titre (GMT), factor increase GMT (FI-GMT), neutralizing antibodies (NAb) positivity, and median neutralizing activity after each vaccine dose (D0 and D28) and six weeks after the second dose (D69). Participants with pre-vaccination positive IgG serology and/or NAb and those with RT-PCR confirmed COVID-19 during the protocol were excluded from immunogenicity analysis. Results. Patients and CTRL had comparable sex (P>0.99) and age (P=0.90). Immunogenicity of 37 patients and 79 CTRL-naive participants revealed at D69, a moderate but significantly lower SC (64.9% vs 91.1%, P<0.001), GMT [7.9 (95%CI 4.7-13.2) vs 24.7 (95%CI 30.0-30.5) UA/ml, P<0.001] and frequency of NAb (51.4% vs 77.2%, P<0.001) in SAMs compared with CTRL. Median neutralizing activity was comparable in both groups [57.2% (interquartile range (IQR) 43.4-83.4) vs 63.0% (IQR 40.3-80.7), P=0.808]. Immunosuppressives were less frequently used among NAb+ patients vs NAb- patients (73.7% vs 100%, P=0.046). Type of SAMs, disease status, other drugs or comorbidities did not influence immunogenicity. Vaccine-related adverse events were mild with similar frequencies in patients and CTRL (P>0.05). Conclusion. Sinovac-CoronaVac is safe and has a moderate short-term immunogenicity in SAMs, but reduced compared with CTRL. We further identified that immunosuppression is associated with diminished NAb positivity.

    (2023) SHINJO, Samuel Katsuyuki; KIM, Minchul; HOFF, Leonardo Santos; MISSE, Rafael Giovani; SEN, Parikshit; NAVEEN, R.; DAY, Jessica; CORDEIRO, Rafael Alves; GONCALVES JUNIOR, Jucier; CHATTERJEE, Tulika B.; LILLEKER, James B.; AGARWAL, Vishwesh; KARDES, Sinan; MILCHERT, Marcin; GHEITA, Tamer; SALIM, Babur; VELIKOVA, Tsvetelina; GRACIA-RAMOS, Abraham Edgar; PARODIS, Ioannis; O'CALLAGHAN, Albert Selva; NIKIPHOROU, Elena; MAKOL, Ashima; TAN, Ai Lyn; CAVAGNA, Lorenzo A.; SAAVEDRA, Miguel A.; ZIADE, Nelly; KNITZA, Johannes; KUWANA, Masataka; NUNE, Arvind; DISTLER, Oliver; CHINOY, Hector; AGARWAL, Vikas; AGGARWAL, Rohit; GUPTA, Latika
    Objectives: To compare pain intensity among individuals with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs), other systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (AIRDs), and without rheumatic disease (wAIDs).Methods: Data were collected from the COVID-19 Vaccination in Autoimmune Diseases (COVAD) study, an international cross-sectional online survey, from December 2020 to August 2021. Pain experienced in the preceding week was assessed using numeral rating scale (NRS). We performed a negative binomial regression analysis to assess pain in IIMs subtypes and whether demographics, disease activity, general health status, and physical function had an impact on pain scores.Results: Of 6988 participants included, 15.1% had IIMs, 27.9% had other AIRDs, and 57.0% were wAIDs. The median pain NRS in patients with IIMs, other AIRDs, and wAIDs were 2.0 (interquartile range [IQR] = 1.0-5.0), 3.0 (IQR = 1.0-6.0), and 1.0 (IQR = 0-2.0), respectively (P < 0.001). Regression analysis adjusted for gender, age, and ethnicity revealed that overlap myositis and antisynthetase syndrome had the highest pain (NRS = 4.0, 95% CI = 3.5-4.5, and NRS = 3.6, 95% CI = 3.1-4.1, respectively). An additional association between pain and poor functional status was observed in all groups. Female gender was associated with higher pain scores in almost all scenarios. Increasing age was associated with higher pain NRS scores in some scenarios of disease activity, and Asian and Hispanic ethnicities had reduced pain scores in some functional status scenarios.Conclusion: Patients with IIMs reported higher pain levels than wAIDs, but less than patients with other AIRDs. Pain is a disabling manifestation of IIMs and is associated with a poor functional status.
