The physical function of even a person getting on a wheelchair could be tested in all subjects. Blood was collected by venipuncture and the serum 1, 25-hydroxy vitamin D (1, 25OHD) concentration was measured. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Japanese version (MoCA-J) was used for the cognitive function test. Physical function was measured objectively using the Timed UP and Go (TUG) and 4-m walking test (4MWS). A significant positive correlation was found between serum 1, 25OHD and MMSE or MoCA-J. It is expected that an elderly person can maintain a mean serum 1, 25OHD level of about 100 pg/mL for preventing early cognitive disorder. In the present study, a significant positive correlation was found between urinary 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25OHD)/creatinine and MMSE or MoCA-J. Our results showed that urinary 25OHD might be a useful biomarker for predicting cognitive disorder. There was a significant negative correlation between serum 1, 25OHD and TUG or 4MWS. These findings suggest that serum 1, 25OHD levels might serve as a useful index to improve cognitive and physical functional impairment.展开更多

METHODS： Caco-2 cells were incubated either with 3 mmol/L butyrate and 1 umol/L 25（OH）2D3 or with 1 umol/L 1α-25（OH）2D3 for various time intervals ranging from 0 to 72 h. Additionally, cells were co-incubated with butyrate and either 25（OH）2D3 or 1α-25（OH）2D3. 1α-25（OH）2D3 mRNA was determined semi-quantitatively using the fluorescent dye PicoGreen. Immunoblotting was used for the detection of 1α-25（OH）2D3 protein. Finally, enzymatic activity was measured by ELISA. RESULTS： Both butyrate and 1α-25（OH）2D3 stimulated differentiation of Caco-2 cells after a 48 h incubation period, while 25（OH）2D3 had no impact on cell differentiation. Synergistic effects on differentiation were observed when cells were co-incubated with butyrate and vitamin D metabolite. Butyrate transiently upregulated 1α-25（OH）2D3 mRNA followed by a timely delayed protein upregulation. Coincidently, enzymatic activity was enhanced significantly. The induction of the enzyme allowed for comparable differentiating effects of both vitamin D metabolites. CONCLUSION： Our experimental data provide a further mechanism for the involvement of the vitamin D signaling pathway in colonic epithelial cell differentiation by butyrate. The enhancement of 1α-25（OH）2D3 followed by antiproliferative effects of the vitamin D prohormone in the Caco-2 cell line suggest that 25（OH）2D3 in combination with butyrate may offer a new therapeutic approach forthe treatment of colon cancer.展开更多

Methods: PE pregnant women and healthy pregnant women who gave birth in the First People's Hospital of Yichang between June 2014 and February 2017 were selected as PE group and control group respectively. At 32 weeks of gestation and before delivery, the serum was collected respectively to determine the contents of 25-OH-VitD3 and endothelial lesion markers;after delivery, the placenta was collected to determine the expression of apoptosis molecules. Results: 25-OH-VitD3 contents in serum as well as XIAP and Survivin mRNA expression in placental tissue of PE group were significantly lower than those of control group while sEng, sFlt-1, IFI16 and tTG contents in serum as well as AP-2 , Smac and PTEN mRNA expression in placental tissue were significantly higher than those of control group;sEng, sFlt-1, IFI16 and tTG contents in serum as well as AP-2 , Smac and PTEN mRNA expression in placental tissue of PE pregnant women with low 25-OH-VitD3 content were significantly higher than those of PE pregnant women with high 25-OH-VitD3 content while XIAP and Survivin mRNA expression were significantly lower than those of PE pregnant women with high 25-OH-VitD3 content. Conclusions: The decline of late-pregnancy serum 25-OH-VitD3 content can aggravate the maternal endothelial injury and placental apoptosis in pregnant women with PE.展开更多
