Lupus nephritis(LN)is an immune-complex nephritis caused by renal involvement in systemic lupus erythemato-sus(SLE).It is one of the main causes of death in SLE and the end-stage renal disease(ESKD).Early diagnosis,effective treatment and reduction of recurrence are important means to delay LN entering ESKD.Renal biopsy is the"gold standard"for diagnosis and determination of LN typing and activity,but it is invasive and not easy to repeat.Therefore,there are still some clinical indicators that can accurately monitor the degree of kidney damage at an early stage,effectively reflect the histological type,disease activity,and judge the curative effect and prognosis.This article reviews the studies on urine biomarkers related to LN,in order to provide ideas for basic research and clinical treatment of LN.

Objective To explore the effect of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in Taiyuan City on short-term pulmonary function in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Among the 1 015 elderly COPD patients admitted to the respiratory departments of five general hospitals in Taiyuan City from December 2021 to December 2023 were retrospectively selected for research; medical records, air pollutant data and meteorological data were analyzed; the relationship between PM2.5 and lung function indicators and air pollutants was analyzed; the impact of PM2.5 on lung function and its lag effect were analyzed; the cumulative effect of PM2.5 concentration on the risk of pulmonary ventilation dysfunction was analyzed; The influence of gender and age on the relationship between PM2.5 and patients ' short-term pulmonary function was analyzed. Results PM2.5, respirable particulate matter (PM10), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO) were negatively correlated with average temperature and average humidity (P<0.05) ; Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3) were negatively correlated with average temperature (P<0.05) ; There was a positive correlation among PM2.5, PM10, SO2, CO, NO2, and O3 (P<0.05) ; Elevated PM2.5 is an independent risk factor for decreased lung function and increased air pollutants (P<0.05) ; At lag0 and lag1, PM2.5 concentration was negatively correlated with lung function in a dose-response manner (P<0.05); daily average PM2.5 concentration at lag0 was a dangerous effect (P<0.05). Conclusion The impact of PM2.5 concentration on lung function has a certain time lag. An increase in PM2.5 concentrations can lead to a decline in lung function.
