ABSTRACT Background Observational studies report higher blood pressure (BP) among individuals with lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration. Whether dosage of vitamin D supplementation has a differential effect on BP control remains unclear. Objective The study aimed to determine if daily vitamin D supplementation with 2000 IU is more effective than 800 IU for BP control among older adults. Methods This randomized, double-blind, ancillary trial of the Zurich Multiple Endpoint Vitamin D Trial in Knee Osteoarthritis enrolled adults aged ≥60 y who underwent elective surgery due to severe knee osteoarthritis. Participants were randomly assigned to receive high dose (2000 IU) or standard dose (800 IU) daily vitamin D3 for 24 mo. Outcomes included daytime and 24-h mean systolic BP. BP variability and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration were examined in a post hoc and observational analysis. Results Of the 273 participants randomly assigned, 250 participants completed a follow-up 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring (mean age: 70.4 ± 6.4 y; 47.2% men). The difference in daytime mean systolic BP reduction between the 2000 IU (n = 123) and 800 IU (n = 127) groups was not statistically significant (−2.75 mm Hg vs. −3.94 mm Hg; difference: 1.18 mm Hg; 95% CI: −0.68, 3.05; P = 0.21), consistent with 24-h mean systolic BP. However, systolic BP variability was significantly reduced with 2000 IU (average real variability: −0.37 mm Hg) compared to 800 IU vitamin D3 (0.11 mm Hg; difference: −0.48 mm Hg; 95% CI: −0.94, −0.01; P = 0.045). Independent of group allocation, maximal reductions in mean BP were observed at 28.7 ng/mL of achieved serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations. Conclusions While daily 2000 IU and 800 IU vitamin D3 reduced mean systolic BP over 2 y to a small and similar extent, 2000 IU reduced mean systolic BP variability significantly more compared with 800 IU. However, without a placebo control group we cannot ascertain whether vitamin D supplementation effectively reduces BP. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00599807.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of weekly single high dose vitamin D supplementation on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], and non-specific musculoskeletal pain in female nurses. Methods: In this prospective study in Kashan/Iran, from April 1, 2014, through September 30, 2014, the 150 nurses with vitamin D deficiency received the weekly pearls of 50,000 units of vitamin D3 for 10 weeks. The serum level of 25(OH)D was measured before and after supplement therapy. The subjects were also asked to complete the Extended Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. All analyses were conducted with SPSS version 16. Results: After 10 weeks of intervention there was [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]ng/mL increase in 25(OH)D. The 82 nurses (54.7%) had 25(OH)D in normal range, while the 68 nurses (45.3%) were still vitamin D deficient. Weight could explain 15.4% increase in 25(OH)D. Before intervention 135 (90%), of nurses reported musculoskeletal pain in at least one region, after intervention this number decreased to 72.7%. There was a statistically significant improvement in musculoskeletal pain in neck, shoulders, upper back, lower back, hips/tights, knees, and ankles/feet after intervention. Conclusions: The weekly single high dose of vitamin D for 10 weeks could resolve vitamin D deficiency in about half of the patients. Patients with non-specific musculoskeletal pain might benefit from vitamin D supplementation.

Vitamin D deficiency is a condition often found in various autoimmune diseases, including vitiligo. There were clinical improvements in autoimmune patients who had been given oral vitamin D supplementation, as well as vitiligo patients. This study aimed to analyze the comparison effect of a combination therapy of 308-nmexcimer light phototherapy and vitamin D3 supplementation toward 308-nm-excimer light phototherapy alone to increase of serum 25-(OH)D levels in childhood vitiligo patients. Subjects consisted of 16 childhood vitiligo patients that divided into two groups; group I was given a combination of 308-nm-excimer light phototherapy and 5000 IU of vitamin D3 supplement once daily, while group II was given monotherapy of excimer light. There were highly significant increase of 25-(OH)D serum in both groups which were 324.00±119.066% and 29.84±36.106%, respectively. The very significant result was seen in a comparison of average increased of serum 25-(OH)D levels between both groups. The study concluded that combination of 308-nm-excimer light phototherapy and vitamin D3 supplementation gave a better effect than phototherapy only to increase of serum 25- (OH)D levels in childhood vitiligo patients.

Abstract Background: The relation and possible mechnism of vitamin D supplementation on depression in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients was not clearly ; Objective: This study investigates the effect of vitamin D supplementation on depression in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Methods : We recruited 168 CRC patients and 168 healthy control subjects into this study. 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS-17) was used to assess depression. Results: We found that 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations were independently associated with depression among CRC patients. For the 45 depressed patients receiving vitamin D3 supplementation, depression scores decreased markedly with 25(OH)D concentrations increasing to normal. Conclusion: Therefore, we advise monitoring this indicator in CRC patients and supplementing with vitamin D 3 when their 25(OH)D concentrations are low.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of short-term sunlight exposure on blood pressure (BP) and pulse rate (PR) in vitamin D<sub>3</sub>-insufficient, prehypertensive patients. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Twenty prehypertensive male participants were prospectively enrolled in this pilot study. BP and PR were measured using 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring and endocrine biomarkers were assessed. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Sunlight exposure decreased 24-hour systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP), and PR (SBP: 132.6 mm Hg to 129.3 mm Hg, DBP: 77.6 mm Hg to 75.7 mm Hg, and PR: 76.1 bpm to 71.3 bpm, <i>p</i> values: 0.0011, 0.0012, and &#x3c;0.0001, respectively). The decrement patterns of SBP, DBP, and PR during nighttime (SBP: 123.5 mm Hg to 117.9 mm Hg, DBP: 72.2 mm Hg to 68.0 mm Hg, and PR: 68.2 bpm to 59.1 bpm, <i>p</i> values: 0.0015, 0.0003, and &#x3c;0.0001, respectively) were more profound compared between daytime and nighttime. Blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D<sub>3</sub> were significantly increased (<i>p</i> = 0.0001) but aldosterone levels were significantly decreased (<i>p</i> = 0.0014) after sunlight exposure. In addition, an inverse relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D<sub>3</sub> and aldosterone levels was observed (<i>R</i> = –0.4709, <i>p</i> = 0.0419). <b><i>Discussion/Conclusion:</i></b> The pilot study gives promising results that it is worthwhile to evaluate short-term sunlight exposure as a potentially effective approach in decreasing BP and PR in 25-hydroxyvitamin D<sub>3</sub>-insufficient prehypertensive patients in a larger trial with a control group.

Abstract Background: The exact relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH) D] levels and small vessel disease (SVD) are not clear in China. The aim of this study was to determine the association between 25(OH) D and SVD in China. Methods: We enrolled consecutive 106 patients with SVD and 115 controls in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital and Jinan City people’s hospital between Jan 2017 and Dec 2017. Vitamin D status was estimated by measuring serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH) D]. The subjects were categorized into three subgroups: vitamin D deficiency (≤12ng/ml), insufficiency (12-20ng/ml) and sufficiency (≥20 ng/ml). Results: Among 106 stroke patients, 80 (75.5%) were men and mean age was 61.6±13.2 years. 25(OH) D deficiency was observed in 76 (71.7%) stroke patients and 47 (40.9%) controls (P=0.001). Comparing with controls, patients with SVD were correlated with higher proportion of male, the histories of stroke, smoking and hyperlipidemia; higher systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and low density lipoprotein; lower of 25(OH)D level. The logistic regression analysis showed the level of 25(OH)D was independently predicted the occurrence of SVD (OR 0.772, CI 0.691-0.862, P=0.001). Compared with those in sufficiency group (≥20ng/ml), the ORs of SVD in the deficiency (≤12ng/ml) and insufficiency group (12–20 ng/ml) of 25(OH)D were 5.609 [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.006-15.683] and 1.077 (95% CI: 0.338-3.428) after adjusting for potential confounders, respectively. We also found a significant effect modification of SVD risk by 25(OH)D status and hypertension interaction (P=0.001), and compared with those with sufficiency 25(OH)D levels, in hypertensives with vitamin D deficiency (≤12ng/ml) and insufficiency (12-20 ng/ml), the ORs were increased to 9.738 (2.398-39.540) and 1.108 (0.232-5.280), respectively (Pinteraction=0.001). Conclusion: Our findings showed patients with SVD were correlated with the deficiency of 25(OH)D. The combined presence of hypertension and vitamin D deficiency increased the probability of developing SVD. Our study raises the importance that vitamin D supplementation combined with monitoring hypertension are promising approaches in the management of SVD.

Abstract Background Vitamin D3 supplementation is considered a potential intervention to prevent orthostatic hypotension (OH) based on observational evidence that vitamin D levels are inversely associated with OH. Objectives With data from The Study to Understand Fall Reduction and Vitamin D in You (STURDY), a double-blind, randomized, response-adaptive trial, we determined if higher doses of vitamin D3 reduced risk of OH. Methods STURDY tested the effects of higher (1,000+ IU/day, i.e., 1,000, 2,000, and 4,000 IU/day combined) versus lower-dose vitamin D3 (200 IU/day, comparison) on fall risk in adults ages 70 years and older with low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (10-29 ng/mL). OH was determined at baseline, 3, 12, and 24 months by taking the difference between seated and standing blood pressure (BP). OH was defined as a drop in systolic or diastolic BP of at least 20 or 10 mmHg after 1 minute of standing. Participants were also asked about OH symptoms during the assessment and the preceding month. Results Among 688 participants (mean age 77 [SD, 5] years; 44% women; 18% Black), the mean baseline systolic/diastolic BP was 130 (19)/67 (11) mmHg, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D was 22.1 (5.1) ng/mL, and 2.8% had OH. There were 2,136 OH assessments over the maximum 2-year follow-up period. Compared to 200 IU/day, 1,000+ IU/day was not associated with seated, standing, or orthostatic BP, and it did not lower risk of OH or orthostatic symptoms. Conclusions These findings do not support use of higher doses of vitamin D3 supplementation as an intervention to prevent OH.

IntroductionThe importance of vitamin D for bone health as well as its role in non-skeletal functions has long been documented. However, review investigations on the effect of vitamin D supplementation on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels in children and adolescents are scarce. The aims of the current study were to assess the impact of various doses of vitamin D supplementation on serum 25(OH)D concentrations in children and adolescents, and to identify relevant determinants of variations in the effect of vitamin D supplementation.MethodsPubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of Science and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases up to 27 September 2017 will systematically be searched for randomised controlled trials of vitamin D supplementation. We considered articles with the following control groups as eligible: placebo control, control group without any supplementation or a comparative arm investigation. Two reviewers will assess articles for eligibility according to prespecified selection criteria, after which data extraction and quality appraisal will be conducted by two independent reviewers. The quality assessment will be assessed using the Jadad scale. Meta-analyses will be conducted where appropriate. We will express continuous measures (ie, serum 25(OH)D concentration) as mean differences with 95% CIs. Heterogeneity of the data will be investigated via visual inspection of the forest plots and using χ2test on N-1 df, with a significance level of α=0.1. We will also assess individual study and subgroup characteristics and perform a sensitivity analysis. Publication bias will be assessed using funnel plot and statistical analysis of Egger’s test.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval is not required because the work will be carried out on published documents. The authors will publish findings from this review through peer-reviewed publication or conference presentations.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42017067179.

Introduction: Deficient levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) (<30 ng/mL) may compromise health and athletic performance. Supplementation with oral vitamin D can favor the state of iron metabolism, and testosterone and cortisol as an indicator of muscle recovery of the athlete with a deficiency. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of eight weeks of supplementation with 3000 IU/day of vitamin D on the hematological and iron metabolism profile, as well as on the analytical values of testosterone and cortisol on elite male traditional rowers. The secondary aim was to examine if serum 25(OH)D is a predictor of testosterone and cortisol levels. Material and Methods: Thirty-six elite male rowers (27 ± 6 years) were assigned to one of the two groups randomly: 1) Control group (CG, n = 18, height: 181.05 ± 3.39 cm and body mass: 77.02 ± 7.55 kg), 2) Group treated with 3,000 IU of vitamin D3/day (VD3G, s = 18, height: 179.70 ± 9.07 cm and body mass: 76.19 ± 10.07 kg). The rowers were subjected to blood tests at the beginning of the study (T1) and after eight weeks of treatment (T2), for the analysis of hematological and hormonal values. Repeated-measures ANOVA with group factor (GC and GVD3) were used to examine if the interaction of the different values was the same or different between the groups throughout the study (time × group) after vitamin D3 treatment. To analyze if 25(OH)D was a good predictor of testosterone, cortisol, and testosterone/cortisol ratio a stepwise regression model was performed. Results: Statistically significant and different increases were observed in the group-by-time interaction of 25(OH)D in VD3G in respect to CG during the study (p < 0.001; VD3G (T1: 26.24 ± 8.18 ng/mL vs. T2: 48.12 ± 10.88 ng/mL) vs CG (T1: 30.76 ± 6.95 ng/mL vs. T2: 35.14 ± 7.96 ng/mL). Likewise, significant differences between groups were observed throughout the study in the group-by-time interaction and changes of hemoglobin (GC: −2.89 ± 2.29% vs. VD3G: 0.71 ± 1.91%; p = 0.009), hematocrit (CG: −1.57 ± 2.49% vs. VD3G: 1.16 ± 1.81%; p = 0.019) and transferrin (CG: 0.67 ± 4.88% vs. VD3G: 6.51 ± 4.36%; p = 0.007). However, no differences between groups were observed in the group-by-time interaction of the hormonal parameters (p > 0.05). Regression multivariate analysis showed that cortisol and testosterone levels were associated with 25(OH)D levels (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Oral supplementation with 3000 IU/day of vitamin D3 during eight weeks showed to be sufficient to prevent a decline in hematological levels of hemoglobin and hematocrit, and improve transferrin of 25(OH)D levels. However, although it was not sufficient to enhance muscle recovery observed by testosterone and cortisol responses, it was observed that serum 25(OH)D levels could be a predictor of anabolic and catabolic hormones.
