Article Abstract

Background: Vitamin D (VD) plays a critical role in regulating systemic inflammation, but its correlation with the systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the relationship between serum VD concentration, dietary VD intake, and SII using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Methods: Data from NHANES 2007-2018 and NHANES 2007-2020 were analyzed for serum VD levels and dietary VD intake, respectively. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) and logistic regression were used to assess associations between VD and SII. Mediation analysis was conducted to evaluate the role of SII in VD-related disease outcomes and mortality.

Results: Serum VD concentration exhibited a U-shaped correlation with SII (P-overall = 0.005; P-non-linear = 0.002). Severe VD deficiency significantly elevated SII levels compared to insufficiency or sufficiency groups. No association was observed between dietary VD intake and SII. Mediation analysis revealed that SII mediated the effects of VD on all-cause and cardiovascular disease-related mortality, but not on cancer, hypertension, or diabetes development.

Conclusion: A U-shaped relationship exists between serum VD and SII, with VD supplementation potentially reducing systemic inflammation and improving cardiovascular outcomes. Future studies should explore VD's role in systemic inflammation and its clinical implications.

Background: Certain scientific publications suggest that medications with high protein binding, such as phenytoin, have lower-than-expected serum levels in patients receiving enteral nutrition (EN) preparations or nutritional supplements. Valproic acid (VPA) is highly protein bound but currently no interactions with EN that would reduce serum levels have been documented.

Case Description: A 69-year-old patient receiving enteral VPA oral solution via a nasojejunal tube experienced a clinically significant decrease in serum concentration when EN was initiated.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the predictive capacity of placenta growth factor (PlGF) and pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) levels in the serum of pregnant women during early pregnancy (11-13 weeks) for fetal growth restriction (FGR).

Patients And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 1602 pregnant women who gave birth at The Second Nanning People's Hospital between March 2018 and September 2019. Serum concentrations of PlGF and PAPP-A were measured during early pregnancy for all participants.

Objective: Our objective was to estimate the seroprevalences of 6 serovars in beef calves at or near fall weaning and assess how concentrations of serovar antibody titers in weaning-age calves varied with herd vaccination programs.

Animals: Serum was collected from 1922 beef calves from 106 herds in the Canadian Cow-Calf Surveillance Network (C3SN).

Procedure: A microscopic agglutination test was used to measure antibody titers for serovars Bratislava, Canicola, Grippotyphosa, Hardjo, Icterohaemorrhagiae, and Pomona.

Objective: Sepsis is a common and life-threatening syndrome in intensive care units, frequently accompanied by myocardial dysfunction, which significantly worsens patient outcomes. S100A12, a calcium-binding protein associated with inflammation, is upregulated in various inflammatory conditions. However, its role in sepsis and related cardiac injury remains unclear.

Background And Aim: Bovine babesiosis, caused by , poses significant economic challenges to Kazakhstan's cattle industry. Early and accurate detection is crucial for interrupting transmission cycles, particularly in regions lacking advanced diagnostic infrastructure. This study aimed to develop a rapid lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) using a recombinant C-terminal fragment of the recombinant rhoptry-associated protein 1 (rRap1) antigen for the serodiagnosis of bovine babesiosis.
