    Abstract Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) candidate genes, protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type D (PTPRD), and serine racemase (SRR) were suggested by a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in the Chinese population. Association studies have been replicated among East Asian populations. The association of PTPRD and SRR genetic variants with T2D in Southeast Asian populations still needs to be studied. This study aimed to investigate the association of PTPRD and SSR genetic variants with T2D in Malaysian Indian subjects.
    Methods: The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of PTPRD (rs649891 and rs17584499) and SRR (rs4523957, rs391300, and rs8081273) were genotyped in 397 T2D and 285 normal Malaysian Indian subjects.
    Results: The homozygous dominant genotype of rs17584499 is frequent in diabetic patients (56.5%) compared to normal subjects (47.3%). In contrast, the homozygous recessive genotype of rs8081273 is more frequent among normal subjects (12.5%) than diabetic patients (5.6%). The dominant genetic model showed that PTPRD rs17584499 (CC) is a risk factor for T2D (OR = 1.42,
    Conclusion: This study confirmed the association of PTPRD rs17584499 genetic variations with T2D in Malaysian Indians. While the SRR rs8081273 (TT) genotype showed protection against T2D, more investigation in different populations is required to confirm this protection.

    Abstract Recent studies have shown an association between vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (T2DM), but the precise relationship between these conditions has yet to be clarified. In this study, we aimed to estimate the incidence of VDD among diabetic patients and identify any relationship between diabetes and the determinants of VDD among T2DM individuals. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Patients of either gender were selected from electronic records and checked for vitamin D levels, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and other parameters. A total of 864 subjects were enrolled. Subjects were grouped according to HbA1c levels, with < 5.7%, 5.7% to 6.49%, and > 6.5% considered normal, impaired, and diabetic, respectively. VDD was common, with an incidence of 723 (83.7%) subjects. A significantly lower vitamin D level was found in diabetic subjects than in nondiabetic subjects (29.1 ± 12.0 vs 44.0 ± 28.3, P < .001). A total of 207/209 (99%) subjects with impaired HbA1c and 179/183 (97.8%) people with diabetes had VDD. Interestingly, none of the diabetic or impaired HbA1c subjects had normal vitamin D levels. A significant association was found between VDD and being > 50 years old, overweight, or obese, as well as HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, calcium, and total cholesterol (TC) levels. A high rate of VDD and significantly lower vitamin D levels were found in diabetic subjects. Age, being overweight, obesity, HbA1c, and fasting plasma glucose were the few determinants of VDD among T2DM patients. These findings highlight the importance of addressing vitamin D status in managing and preventing T2DM, particularly in those over the age of 50, those who have higher body weight, and those with raised HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose levels.

    Abstract Background: Preeclampsia has a multifactorial-yet-elusive etiology. Recent reports suggest a link between preeclampsia and vitamin D (VD) metabolic axis. Genetic variations like single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene can alter the metabolic role of VD, which have been shown by several genetic association studies. However, there is discordance among these studies.
    Objective: The current study aimed to investigate the association of VDR gene polymorphism (ApaI) and VD deficiency with risk of developing preeclampsia.
    Patients and method: In this case-control study, 40 preeclamptic and 40 normotensive pregnant women were compared for VD status and VDR gene polymorphism. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin-D [25(OH) D] level was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and VDR gene polymorphism Apa1 was analyzed by Allele specific polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR) using sequence specific primers.
    Results: Serum levels of 25(OH) D were very low but comparable in both preeclamptic and normotensive pregnant women. The difference between the two groups were not statistically significant (
    Conclusion: This study showed that VDR gene polymorphism (ApaI) and VD deficiency are not associated with the risk of preeclampsia.

    Abstract Cancer, a leading global cause of mortality, arises from intricate interactions between genetic and environmental factors, fueling uncontrolled cell growth. Amidst existing treatment limitations, vitamins have emerged as promising candidates for cancer prevention and treatment. This review focuses on Vitamins A, C, E, and D because of their protective activity against various types of cancer. They are essential as human metabolic coenzymes. Through a critical exploration of preclinical and clinical studies via PubMed and Google Scholar, the impact of these vitamins on cancer therapy was analyzed, unraveling their complicated mechanisms of action. Interestingly, vitamins impact immune function, antioxidant defense, inflammation, and epigenetic regulation, potentially enhancing outcomes by influencing cell behavior and countering stress and DNA damage. Encouraging clinical trial results have been observed; however, further well-controlled studies are imperative to validate their effectiveness, determine optimal dosages, and formulate comprehensive cancer prevention and treatment strategies. Personalized supplementation strategies, informed by medical expertise, are pivotal for optimal outcomes in both clinical and preclinical contexts. Nevertheless, conclusive evidence regarding the efficacy of vitamins in cancer prevention and treatment is still pending, urging further research and exploration in this compelling area of study.

    Abstract Cet article propose d’analyser la manière dont la construction transdisciplinaire d’un projet de recherche, puis la mise en œuvre d’une démarche participative sur l’enjeu des pollutions diffuses agricoles de l’eau (nitrates et pesticides), constituent des espaces d’apprentissages. L’étude s’appuie sur une recherche participative menée sur le territoire de la Brie, en Seine-et-Marne, analysée en tant que processus permettant de transgresser les frontières disciplinaires, qui opposent de manière souvent arbitraire chercheurs et acteurs, et les frontières qui divisent les différentes parties prenantes d’un problème public. Les perceptions et les connaissances initiales des chercheurs et acteurs s’enrichissent à travers la participation. Les limites de ce processus et des inégalités d’apprentissages sont également identifiées.

    Abstract Introduction: Patients in intensive care units (ICUs) are at high risk of unfavorable outcomes. Considering the role of vitamin D (Vit D) in cardiovascular and immune functions, Vit D deficiency could affect ICU patients' outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate Vit D status and its predictive value for outcome in ICU patients.
    Patients and methods: A total of 169 ICU patients were followed during ICU stay. Primary outcome was the occurrence of at least one major adverse event; secondary outcomes were organ failure, septic shock, ICU-acquired infection, other adverse events, and ICU mortality. Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) was assessed by immunoassay. Multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to test the associations of low 25(OH)D levels with poor outcomes.
    Results: Around 75% of patients had 25(OH)D levels <12 ng/ml. During their ICU stay, 114 patients experienced a major adverse event, 85 patients presented an ICU-acquired infection, and 22 patients died. Plasma 25(OH)D levels <12 ng/ml were associated with higher risk of major adverse events, Hazard ratio [95% CI], 4.47 [1.77, 11.3],
    Conclusions: Hypovitaminosis D is very common in ICU patients. Results of the present study show that low plasma 25(OH)D levels are associated with increased risk of unfavorable outcomes in these patients. Additional research is needed to investigate the impact of Vit D status and effect of Vit D supplementation in ICU patients.
