Abstract: In 2016, many guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, Sjgren  syndrome, gout and other rheumatic diseases updated again.The concepts  of  “long range management, treat to target”   which originated from the management of rheumatoid arthritis, have gradually infiltrated into the treatment decisions about systemic lupus erythematosus,gout,spondyloarthritis and other rheumatic diseases. New biological agents continue to emerge.The exchange principles  from traditional disease modifying antirheumatic drugs to biological agents have been more and more organized. The diagnosis and treatment methods of rheumatic disease have been more and more standardized.

Key words: arthritis, rheumatoid, lupus erythematosus;Sjgren , syndrome;gout, rheumatic disease, diagnosis, treatment progress
