To investigate if progression of coronary artery calcification (CAC) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with renal and traditional cardiovascular risk factors as well as incidence of myocardial infarctions. CAC progression was evaluated by cardiac computed tomography (CT) at baseline and after 5 years. Multivariable Poisson regression was applied to investigate associations between CAC progression and baseline values for traditional cardiovascular risk factors, CAC, SLE disease duration, lupus nephritis, and renal function.

National Clinical Research Center of Kidney Diseases, Jinling Hospital, Medical School of Nanjing University, Nanjing, Jiangsu 210002, China. Electronic address:

Background: Lupus nephritis (LN) is one of the most common and severe complications of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Multitarget therapy (MT) achieves a 20% higher complete remission (CR) rate compared to conventional therapy in LN management. Intrigued by its excellent clinical efficacy, we aimed to develop a single-agent therapy with comparable efficacy to MT, offering a simplified treatment regimen.

The case report presents a male patient in his mid-60s with a history of hypertension, benign prostatic hyperplasia and chronic kidney disease (CKD). He presented with gradually increasing serum creatinine levels and hyperglobulinemia, leading to suspicion of multiple myeloma. However, subsequent testing revealed features consistent with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and IgG4-related kidney disease (IgG4-RKD).

Article Synopsis
  • Mitochondrial dysfunction and macrophage dysregulation are important in autoimmune diseases, but how they connect is not fully understood.
  • The study focuses on the role of chronic low-level interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) using a mouse model with lupus-like symptoms, finding that this condition suppresses mitochondrial function, especially in the kidneys.
  • It suggests that restoring mitochondrial function could improve macrophage activity and provide new targets for treating autoimmune diseases like lupus nephritis.

Objective: The present study aimed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the postmarketing safety of belimumab based on the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database.

Methods: Adverse event (AE) reports in the FAERS database from January 2021 to December 2023 were extracted to perform the disproportionality analysis by calculating the reporting OR. The clinical characteristics and onset times of AEs were investigated.
