To investigate the expression level of serum 25-(OH) D and its correlation in patients with vestibular neuritis(VN). 30 acute VN patients and 50 age-and sex-matched healthy controls who attended the Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery Department of the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from October 2020 to October 2021 were selected. The demographic and clinical data of all subjects were recorded, the levels of serum 25-(OH) D and inflammatory markers were measured and compared, and the changes of serum 25-(OH) D levels in convalescent patients with VN were followed up. The serum level of 25-(OH) D in the acute phase VN group was significantly lower than that in healthy controls[(10.14±2.92) ng/mL vs (20.61±4.70) ng/mL, <0.01], and the deficiency rate of 100.0%(30/30) was significantly higher than 54.0%(27/50). Moreover, the serum level of 25-(OH) D in the recovery period(3 months later) was significantly higher[(10.14±2.92) ng/mL vs (15.94±4.88) ng/mL, <0.01], and the deficiency rate was significantly decreased by 76.7%(23/30). However, the serum 25-(OH) D level was significantly lower in both the VN group than that in both the acute period and the recovery group, and the deficiency rate was significantly higher than that in the control group. Multivariate binary Logistic regression model analysis showed that low-level serum 25-(OH) D was associated with the onset of VN, with an OR value of 0.193(95%=0.043-0.861, =0.031). In addition, the results of this study showed that peripheral blood leukocyte(WBC) and neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio(NLR) levels in the acute VN group were significantly higher than in healthy controls[(7.65±3.02) ×10⁸/L vs (5.50±2.50) ×10⁸/L, <0.01; (2.46±2.95) ×100% vs(1.67±0.92) ×100%, <0.01 ], and there was no significant difference in Platelet / lymphocyte ratio(PLR) and and average platelet volume(MPV) levels in the two groups(>0.05). There were no significant differences in age distribution, sex ratio, body mass index, persistent health problems, or lifestyle groups(>0.05). This study is the first to detect serum 25-(OH) D level and inflammation index level, and dynamically assess the serum 25-(OH) D level in different stages, found that low serum 25-(OH) D is associated with the onset of VN, physiological concentration of serum 25-(OH) D is a protective factor of VN, vitamin D supplementation therapy may be a new target of VN treatment.

Background: The endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) has been involved in various musculoskeletal disorders including non-traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head (NT-ONFH).
Objective: The current study aimed to investigate the association of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) as well as CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) expressions in serum and femoral head (FH) tissues with NT-ONFH's severity.
Methods: We enrolled NT-ONFH patients (n = 150) alongside healthy controls (HCs, n = 150).

Background: Fibrotic types of interstitial lung abnormalities seen on high-resolution computed tomography scans, characterised by traction bronchiolectasis/bronchiectasis with or without honeycombing, are predictors of progression and poor prognostic factors of interstitial lung abnormalities. There are no reports on the clinical characteristics of fibrotic interstitial lung abnormalities on high-resolution computed tomography scans. Therefore, we aimed to examine these clinical characteristics and clarify the predictive factors of fibrotic interstitial lung abnormalities on high-resolution computed tomography scans.

Background: Gallstone disease (GSD) is associated with obesity. The Cardiometabolic Index (CMI), a metric that accurately assesses central adiposity and visceral fat, has not been extensively studied in relation to GSD risk. This study investigates the link between CMI and GSD incidence in U.

High intraocular pressure (IOP) is an important risk factor for glaucoma, which is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. However, the etiology of high IOP remains uncertain. Metabolites are compounds involved in metabolism which provide a link between the internal (genetic) and external environments.

Background: The immune heterogeneity of biliary atresia (BA) presents a challenge for development of prognostic biomarkers. This study aimed to identify early immune signatures associated with biliary drainage after Kasai Portoenterostomy (KPE).
Methods: Serum samples, liver slides, and clinical data were obtained from patients enrolled in the NIDDK-supported Childhood Liver Disease Research Network.
