Vitamin deficiencies are common in inflammatory bowel disease. Here we present 5-year follow-up data of 61 patients. No folate or vitamin B12 deficiency was identified throughout the study. A daily multivitamin supplement was sufficient to replete 100% of vitamin A-deficient and vitamin E-deficient patients. A total of 52% of vitamin D-deficient patients corrected, but 15% who had normal vitamin D levels at diagnosis developed deficiency. A total of 63% of zinc-deficient patients normalized their zinc status, but 15% developed zinc deficiency at follow-up despite supplementation.

Department of Environmental Health & Environment and Health Innovation Team, School of Public Health, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, Henan, PR China; National Health Commission Key Laboratory of Birth Defects Prevention, Zhengzhou, Henan, PR China. Electronic address:
Background: Conflicting findings exist regarding the association between maternal serum zinc and neonatal birth weight. This study aimed to explore the association between maternal serum zinc and birth weight, and whether this association was modified by neonatal SOD2 polymorphism and promoter methylation.
Methods: We recruited 464 mother-newborn pairs at Houzhai Center Hospital from January 2010 to January 2012.
Synergy of zinc oxide nanoparticles to losartan attenuates kidney injury induced by unilateral ureteral obstruction through modulation of the TNF-α/IL6 and BAX/BCL2 signaling pathways.

Aim: Although the relief of ureteral obstruction seems to be a radical treatment for obstructive uropathy (OU), progressive kidney damage is the result because of the associated increased apoptosis and fibrosis. Therefore, it is urgent to find a complementary renoprotective therapy against partially obstructed uropathy cascades. Thus, this study investigated the renoprotective effects of both losartan (LOS) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) in partial unilateral ureteral obstruction (PUUO).

Background: Technological advancements and globalization have shifted dietary behaviours, contributing to increased chronic disease prevalence in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) like India. Adolescents are particularly vulnerable due to these changes, which can impact their lifelong health. This study aimed to assess the nutritional status of adolescents in public schools in Chandigarh, India.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a highly malignant tumor characterized by a significant propensity for recurrence and metastasis. DNA methylation has emerged as a critical epigenetic mechanism with substantial utility in cancer diagnosis. In this study, multi-omics data were utilized to investigate the target genes regulated by the transcription factor MYC-associated zinc finger protein (MAZ) in ccRCC, leading to the identification of thymidine phosphorylase (TYMP) as a gene with notably elevated expression in ccRCC.

Health Sciences Center, Universidade Estadual do Ceará, Fortaleza 60714-903, Brazil.
Background: Children and adolescents with obesity have altered serum copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) levels, which are associated with oxidative stress, inflammation, and health outcomes. The inclusion of cashew nuts in an adequate diet may provide health benefits and help improve the mineral status of individuals with obesity.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of cashew nut consumption on biomarkers of Cu and Zn status in adolescents with obesity.
