Background: Interstitial Lung Disease is one of the major cause of morbidity and mortality in Systemic Sclerosis. The gold standard to diagnose ILD is using High Resolution Computed Tomography scan. HRCT scan need a lot of cost and not always available, so another diagnosing test is needed as an alternative modality to diagnose ILD. ILD is a restrictive lung disease caused by lung fibrosis which is proved by the decrease of Forced Vital Capacity in spirometry, and followed by the increase of soluble CD40L level in plasma. This sCD40L may become a potential biomarker to evaluate lung fibrosis in SSc patients. The aim of this study is to analyze the correlation of sCD40L levels with FVC score in SSc patients with restrictive lung disease. Method: This cross sectional study was enrolled by the SSc patient who has restrictive lung disease based on spirometry test, at Rheumatology outpatient clinic dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital from May 2015 to May 2016. All subject took underwent history, physical examination, spirometry and blood test for sCD40L. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation.Result There were 38 subjects involved in this study, dominated bywoman 92.1 pecent with mean age 41years. Subjects consist of 22 57,9 pecent with limited SSc, 16 42,1 pecent with diffuse SSc patients and 33 subjects treated with DMARD. Mean sCD40L serum in this study was 6.690,3 pg/mL, with no statistical difference between limited and diffuse type p 0.154. Mean FVC score in this study was 58.2. There was no significant correlation between sCD40L serum with FVC r 0.058, p 0.366. There was weak correlation on DMARD naïve subject between sCD40L serum and FVC r 0.058, p 0.366 but statistically insignificant. There was no significant correlation between sCD40L serum with mRSS r 0,066 p 0,346. Conclusion: This study founds no correlation between sCD40L with FVC in SSc at dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital.

Background Aim of this research is to assess the efficacy and safety of tocilizumab in combination with methotrexate in Indonesian patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis who have an inadequate response to non biologic DMARDs.Methods This was a interventional, prospective, single arm, multicenter, study in Indonesian male or female patients aged > 18 years old, with a diagnosis of RA for > 6 months based on ACR 1987 revised criteria with moderate to severe disease activity DAS28 score > 3.2 after > 12 weeks of non biologic DMARDs treatment. The treatment consisted of tocilizumab, 8 mg/kg, intravenous, every 4 weeks for a total of 6 infusion in combination with oral MTX 10 until 25 mg every week. Efficacy was assessed based on the percentage of patients achieving low disease activity state DAS28 < 3.2, percentage of patients achieving reduction > 1.2 point of DAS28, percentage of patients achieving remission DAS28 < 2.6, and percentage of patients with ACR20, ACR50, and ACR70 responses. Descriptive statistics will be used for presentation of results.Results 100 percent patients reached low disease activity DAS28 < 3.2 at last study visit week 24 and clinically significant improvement reduction at least 1.2 units at every visit in DAS28, both for ITT or PP patients. Remission DAS28 < 2.6 was observed in 82.1 percent ITT patients and 93.1 percent PP patients on last study visit. ACR20, ACR50, and ACR70 were achieved in 20 percent, 34 percent, and 34 percent ITT patients, and 7 percent, 24 percent, and 62 percent PP patients on week 24. There were 3 out of 39 patients 7.69 percent with adverse events and serious adverse events that resulted in discontinuation of TCZ treatment, consisting of 1 patient with SAE of sepsis ec acquired community pneumonia, 1 patient with SAE of pneumonia tuberculosis, and 1 patient with AE of candidiasis. Most common adverse events were hepatic dysfunction 30.7 percent, hypercholesterolemia 23.1 percent, followed by arthralgia 20.5 percent Twelve percent of patients needed dose modification due to elevated liver enzyme elevated ALT/SGPT level. Conclusion Tocilizumab seems to be efficacious and likely to have good safety profile in non biologic DMARD nonresponsive RA patients of PICTURE INA study.
