BackgroundSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multi-system autoimmune disease that significantly affects both the physical and mental health of patients. Psychosocial support systems play a crucial role in managing chronic diseases, yet their specific impact on the disease activity of SLE patients remains unclear. This study aims to explore the dynamic relationship between disease activity in SLE patients and various types of psychosocial support systems.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective longitudinal observational study, including 150 SLE patients who received treatment at our hospital from January 2022 to January 2023. Emotional support, tangible support, social interaction support, and informational support were assessed using the revised Social Support Rating Scale. Disease activity was quantified using the European Consensus Lupus Activity Measurement. The relationship between psychosocial support and disease activity was analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression models, with Bootstrap resampling employed to test the robustness of the results.ResultsWe found a significant negative correlation between psychosocial support and SLE disease activity, with emotional support, social interaction support, and informational support showing stronger negative correlations. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the inhibitory effects of emotional support, social interaction support, and informational support on disease activity increased over time. Although the impact of tangible support was not statistically significant, it gradually became more apparent over time.ConclusionOur findings indicate a significant negative correlation between psychosocial support and SLE disease activity, particularly with emotional support, social interaction support, and informational support. Over time, the impact of tangible support also becomes evident. These findings provide important references for the comprehensive treatment and management of SLE patients. However, due to the observational nature of the study, the causality of this relationship requires further exploration.

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a chemical modification of RNA and has become a widely discussed topic among scientific researchers in recent years. It is distributed in various organisms, including eukaryotes and bacteria. It has been found that m6A is composed of writers, erasers and readers and is involved in biological functions such as splicing, transport and translation of RNA. The balance of the human immune microenvironment is important for human health abnormalities. Increasing studies have found that m6A affects the development of immune diseases such as inflammatory enteritis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by participating in the homeostatic regulation of the immune microenvironment in vivo. In this manuscript, we introduce the composition, biological function, regulation of m6A in the immune microenvironment and its progression in various immune diseases, providing new targets and directions for the treatment of immune diseases in clinical practice.
