The study investigated serum 25-Hydroxy vitamin D (25-(OH)D) deficiency and its prognostic values of patients newly diagnosed Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). With seventy-seven patients enrolled, the median level of 25-(OH)D was 44.5 nmol/L (range, 15.5-100.9 nmol/L) and 16 (20.8 %) of them were considered as 25-(OH)D deficiency. With a median follow-up of 28 months (range, 4-56 months), the 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rate were 75.3 %±5.5 % and 94.7 %±3.0 %, respectively. Patients with deficient 25-(OH)D level had inferior PFS (P<0.001) as well as OS (P<0.001). In multivariate Cox analysis, 25-(OH)D deficiency was observed as an independent prognostic factor for both PFS (hazard ratio (HR) 3.323, 95 % CI 1.527-7.229, P = 0.002) and OS (HR 5.819, 95 % CI 1.322-25.622, P = 0.020). Receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curve showed International Prognostic Score (IPS) plus 25-(OH)D deficiency (IPS-D) predicted more accurately than IPS in PFS (AUC: 0.735 (95 % CI 0.622-0.829) vs. 0.701 (95 % CI 0.586-0.800), P = 0.033) and OS (AUC: 0.864 (95 % CI 0.767-0.932) vs. 0.825 (95 % CI 0.722-0.902), P = 0.028). All these findings suggest that serum 25-(OH)D level may be an adjunctive indicator to predict prognosis in HL patient.

: Nephrocalcinosis (NC) is a common condition characterized by the deposition of calcium salts in the kidneys of very preterm infants due to tubular immaturity, intensive treatment and nutritional supplements. However, optimal vitamin D supplementation remains unclear. In most patients, NC spontaneously resolves within the first year of life, but long-term kidney function data are lacking.

Background: Earlier studies about the influence of vitamin D (Vit D) supplementation on patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) reported inconsistent results. Current comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to assess the effect of Vit D supplementation on clinical and subclinical factors in patients with IBD.
Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effect of Vit D supplementation in IBD patients, published up to March 2023.

Background: Immune function is affected by vitamin D status, but the optimal serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration for immune function is not known.
Objectives: We hypothesized that 25(OH)D would be associated with markers of inflammation and immune activation.
Methods: We identified associations between 25(OH)D and immune markers from 361 healthy adults using polynomial regression.

Background: As a group of more than 3.67 million people, the bone health of Chinese plasmapheresis donors, which the main population is also a risk group of osteoporosis (OP), has raised concerns. Therefore, this article investigates the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD), bone metabolism indicators, and plasmapheresis donation behavior among some high-risk plasmapheresis donors for OP in China, and further explores the mediating factors through reasonable statistical methods.
