Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a severe, aggressive, and debilitating disease that has a high mortality rate. It affects nearly 1% of the world population, characterized by pain, swelling, and progressive destruction of synovial joints. Consequently, patients with severe disease face signi—cant disability, deformity, and irreversible joint damage [1]. Even if there are many methods including physical treatment, chemical drug, surgery, and immune therapy, few patients have been cured. Until now, RA is still a refractory autoimmune disease.
