Objectives: To explore the relationship among the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, and vitiligo.
Methods: Databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Ovid, Web of Science, CNKI, SinoMed, and Wanfang Data were systematically searched. The association was assessed using odds ratios (ORs), standard mean difference (SMD), and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
Naringenin is known to have anti-oxidative activity; however, the effect of naringenin on the progression of pemphigus vulgaris (PV) still remains unclear. This study aims to analyze the effect of naringenin on HaCaT cell apoptosis and oxidative damage under the treatment of PV serum. The results showed that PV serum significantly induced cell apoptosis compared with the control group; whereas, comparing with PV group, naringenin inhibited cell apoptosis.
