 <blockquote>Ultraviolet (UV) light is an important environmental trigger for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, yet the mechanisms by which UV light impacts disease are not fully known. This review covers evidence in both human and murine systems for the impacts of UV light on DNA damage, apoptosis, autoantigen exposure, cytokine production, inflammatory cell recruitment, and systemic flare induction. In addition, the role of the circadian clock is discussed. Evidence is compared in healthy individuals and SLE patients as well as in wild-type and lupus-prone mice. Further research is needed into the effects of UV light on cutaneous and systemic immune responses to understand how to prevent UV-light mediated lupus flares. <blockquote>Ultraviolet (UV) light is an important environmental trigger for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, yet the mechanisms by which UV light impacts disease are not fully known.

 Furthermore, curli (and extracellular DNA) of enteric biofilms potentiate the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and promote the fibrillization of the pathogenic amyloid α-synuclein, which is implicated in Parkinson's disease. Homologues of curli-encoding genes are found in four additional bacterial phyla, suggesting that the biomedical implications involved with enteric biofilms are applicable to numerous bacterial species. Furthermore, curli (and extracellular DNA) of enteric biofilms potentiate the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and promote the fibrillization of the pathogenic amyloid α-synuclein, which is implicated in Parkinson's disease.

 + Patients receiving the highest dose of olmesartan (40 and 80 mg) had an inward carotid remodeling and were shifted toward a lower elastic modulus at a given circumferential wall stress, indicating an improvement in the intrinsic elastic properties of the carotid artery wall material. These data suggest that 40 and 80 mg olmesartan were able to significantly remodel and destiffen the arterial wall material during long-term treatment, partly independently of blood pressure, compared with 20 mg.
