Терапия РТМ проведена 24 больным с системными проявлениями БШ. Средняя дозаиндукционного курса РТМ составляла 2±0,3 г. У 9 больных была монотерапия РТМ, у 15 – комбинацияс циклофосфаном. Полный клинический ответ определялся как отсутствие клинических проявлений, имевшихся до лечения, частичный клинический ответ – как более чем 50% улучшение отдельных признаков или как исчезновение половины имевшихся. Полный иммунологический ответ означал нормализацию изначально низкого уровня С4, исчезновение криоглобулинемии и моноклональных иммуноглобулинов в сыворотке крови и/или их легких цепей в моче, частичный иммунологический ответ – нормализацию и/или исчезновение более чем половины исходных признаков. Остальные случаи рассматривались как отсутствие ответа на лечение. Рецидивом считалось повторное появление по крайней мере одного признака, имевшегося до лечения, в течение 3 мес наблюдения и более.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. К 3-му месяцу после терапии РТМ клинический полный и частичный ответ наблюдалсяв 71,4% (15 из 21) и 19% (4 из 21) случаев соответственно. Полный или частичный иммунологический ответ был получен у 50% (10 из 20) и 25% (5 из 20) пациентов. К 6-му месяцу клинический и иммунологический рецидив был отмечен у 25% (5 из 20) и 33% (6 из 18) больных соответственно. Наблюдалось уменьшение медианы ESSDAI с 8 [7; 10] (медиана [25-й; 75-й перцентили]) до 3 [2; 4] к 3–6-му месяцу (p&lt;0,001). Медиана сывороточной концентрации BAFF у 9 больных после терапии РТМ снизилась с 1,71 [0,66; 2,73] до 0,68 [0,62; 2,58] нг/мл; в норме &lt;0,8 нг/мл.</p></sec><sec><title>Выводы</title><p>Выводы.

RTM therapy was performed in 24 patients with the systemic manifestations of PSS. The mean dose of a RTM for induction therapy cycle was 2±0.3 g. Nine patients received RTM monotherapy and 12 were treated with RTM in combination with cyclophosphan. A complete clinical response was defined as complete disappearance of pre-treatment clinical manifestations; a partial one was interpreted as more than 50% improvements in some signs or cessation of half of the existing signs. A complete immunological response implied normalization of a low baseline C4 level, disappearance of cryoglobulinemia and monoclonal immunoglobulins in serum and/or their light chains in urine; a partial one meant normalization or cessation of more than half of the initial signs. The remaining cases were regarded as no treatment response. A recurrence was considered to be the reoccurrence of at least one pretreatment sign during a 3-month or more follow-up.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. At 3 months after RTM therapy, a complete or partial clinical response was observed in 71.4% (15/21) and 19% (4/21) of cases, respectively. A complete or partial immunological response was obtained in 50% (10/20) and 25 (5/20) of the patients, respectively. At 6 months, a clinical and immunological recurrence was noted in 25% (5/20) and 33% (6/18) of the patients, respectively. There was a reduction in median ESSDAI from 8 (7–10) (median, 25th and 75th percentiles) to 3 (2–4) at 3–6 months (p&lt;0.001). After RTM therapy, medium serum BAFF concentrationsin 9 patients decreased from 1.71 (0.66–2.73) to 0.68 (0.62–2.58) ng/ml (normal value &lt;0.8 ng/ml).</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion.
