Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by systemic joint inflammation, leading to damage and pain. This case report presents 58-year-old Chinese female who developed widespread pain after contracting mild COVID-19 was subsequently diagnosed with RA. Her symptoms included swelling, pain, abnormal serological markers. Initial treatment methylprednisolone tofacitinib discontinued due side effects, she switched combined approach of herbal Western medicine. After year treatment, her swelling largely resolved, leaving persistent localized in specific joints. To address this received 35 kDa hyaluronan fragment (HA35) injections, resulting significant improvement, including complete relief elbow knee restored mobility. Continuous HA35 followed oral powder, also completely relieved foot highlights the effectiveness managing RA particularly for residual conventional treatments, suggests its potential as therapeutic option.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a crucial biological molecule whose diverse functions are strongly influenced by its molecular weight. In particular, low weight HA (LMW-HA) fragments-such as HA60 (average 60 kDa), HA35 35 and HA24 24 kDa)-exhibit enhanced tissue permeability unique interactions with cell surfaces compared to high (HMW-HA). This study investigates the size-dependent aggregation effects of LMW-HA on erythrocytes examines implications for bioactivity, quality control, therapeutic applications. We investigated fragments erythrocyte across sizes using sedimentation rate (ESR) assays, CD44 receptor blocking assessment via gel electrophoresis GPC-MALLS. samples were applied at varying concentrations measure their binding affinity erythrocytes, while antibodies used assess involvement. Species-specificity was examined comparing from different animals. induced in manner, exhibiting strongest affinity, followed HA24. Aggregation partially reversible could be inhibited antibodies, indicating receptor-mediated interaction. Minimum effective inversely related weight, lower requiring higher concentrations. Species-specific also observed, highlighting variations erythrocyte-HA The suggests that facilitates through CD44-mediated binding, offering insights into HA's role physiology blood rheology. findings support potential applications pain inflammation management, given interaction erythrocytes. Additionally, provides valuable parameter enabling consistency products. These results underscore importance determining physiological pharmacological activity, paving way further clinical research confirm species-specific optimize safe uses LMW-HA.
