The isolation of glucocorticoids (GC) was a tremendous achievement in the history of medicine and had a clinical impact similar to that of the discovery of insulin or antibiotics. However, with the expansion of their use, multiple side effects have become evident even patients treated with low doses. GC remain one of the main agents in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The studies of genomic and nongenomic effects of GC justified their use in lower starting doses (e.g. 30 to 40 mg daily) even in patiens with lupus nephritis. Methylprednisolone pulses and early initiation of hydroxychloroquine and immunosuppressive agents may allow more rapid tapering and discontinuation of GC in SLE patients. Development of novel steroid-sparing agents, e.g. anifrolumab, a monoclonal antibody to interferon I receptor, or voclosporin, an oral calcineurin inhibitor, may result in further improvement in the efficacy and safety of treatment.

The first line treatments for acute gouty arthritis are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), corticosteroids, and colchicine. However, these agents are ineffective or contraindicated in a proportion of patients. Interleukin (IL)-1 is a key mediator in the pathogenesis of acute gouty arthritis. Recently, three IL-1-targeted agents have been developed, including anakinra, the IL-1 receptor antagonist. The authors present two patients with a flare of refractory tophaceous gout who were treated with anakinra.

Systemic autoimmune and autoinflammatory disease are associated with all types of diffuse kidney disease, that is, glomerulonephritis (including rapidly progressive), thrombotic microangiopathy, tubulointerstitial nephritis, and AA-amyloidosis. However, the occurrence and types of nephropathies differ significantly in patients with various systemic immunemediated inflammatory diseases. For example, glomerulonephritis is one of the leading manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus and small-vessels vasculitis, thrombotic angiopathy occurs frequently in patients with both primary and secondary antiphosholipid syndrome, tubulointerstitial nephritis is frequently found in patients with Sjogren syndrome and IgG4-associated disease, whereas AA-amyloidosis can complicate rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondilytis, psoriatic arthritis, familial Meditarranean fever, and certain other monogenic autoinflammatory diseases. Over last decades, renal survival in patients with autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases improved significantly due to earlier diagnosis and development of effective immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory treatments. However, a proportion of patients still present with progressive impairment of kidney function that can be unrelated to activity of underlying diseases.

The high prevalence of stroke worldwide requires a revision of the modern doctrine of the management of patients with cerebrovascular disease. It is obvious that only aggressive modification of risk factors for vascular pathology does not guarantee the prevention of acute cerebrovascular accident, which is an intermediate or final stage of cerebrovascular disease. In this regard, the use of neuroprotectors, including vinpocetine, can increase the tolerance of brain tissue to hypoxia. Vinpocetine, a derivative of the alkaloid vincamine, inhibiting phosphodiesterase and voltage-dependent Na+- channels is widely used in many countries for the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases, including chronic cerebral ischemia. Recent studies have identified a number of new therapeutic effects of vinpocetine, including stimulation of neuroplasticity via brain-derived neurotrophic factor and inhibition of neuroinflammation. The latter mechanism is mediated by the effect on NF-kB that suppresses the expression of NF-kBdependent pro-inflammatory molecules and prevents the formation of NLRP3 inflammasome. New data allow to reconsider the place of vinpocetine in the prevention and treatment of cerebrovascular disorders, and to recommend its use in a wide range of patients with chronic cerebral ischemia.
