Disseminated Ureaplasma infection: a case report of a patient with rheumatoid arthritis on rituximab therapy with multiple abscesses and arthritis. (PubMed, Ups J Med Sci)
A 51-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis treated with rituximab and leflunomide presented with a 5-month history of malodorous vaginal discharge. Initial examination revealed vulvovaginitis and cervicitis, and she was treated with metronidazole and topical corticosteroids...Treatment with oral doxycycline led to rapid clinical and laboratory test improvement, and moxifloxacin was added for bactericidal coverage...Ureaplasma parvum should therefore be considered in patients presenting with sterile abscesses, systemic inflammation, and urogenital symptoms. Early recognition through molecular testing and targeted antimicrobial treatment can prevent prolonged morbidity and unnecessary surgical interventions.

Study of a lipid extract from Eryx snakes in rat adjuvant-induced arthritis under a therapeutic regimen: comparison with methotrexate and leflunomide. (PubMed, Inflammopharmacology)
Semi-quantitative histological scoring confirmed that LEES effectively limited articular structural damage without inducing the hepato-splenic toxicity associated with methotrexate. These findings indicate that LEES possesses multimodal immunomodulatory and analgesic actions with a highly favorable tolerability profile, supporting its further preclinical development as a potential adjunct or alternative to existing therapies.

Biomimetic Nanoplatform for Targeted Glioblastoma Therapy via Concurrently Triggering GPX4/DHODH Mediated Ferroptosis. (PubMed, Adv Sci (Weinh))
Therefore, in the present study, a multifunctional nanoplatform, hollow mesoporous manganese dioxide (H-MnO2)-hemin-leflunomide@membrane (MHL@M), is proposed and fabricated...Both in vitro and in vivo results demonstrate that MHL@M has excellent tumor-targeting, TME-responsive, and ferroptosis activation capacities. This study provides a solid foundation for the development of ferroptosis-based therapeutic strategies for GBM.
