Aim. The interaction between vitamin D deficiency and primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is not fully understood. The aim of this study was to investigate whether patients with PHPT from Spain and Sweden differed in vitamin D status and PHPT disease activity before and after surgery.Methods. We compared two cohorts of postmenopausal women from Spain(n=126)and Sweden(n=128)that had first-time surgery for sporadic, uniglandular PHPT. Biochemical variables reflecting bone metabolism and disease activity, including levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D3(25(OH)D) and bone mineral density, BMD, were measured pre- and one year postoperatively.Results. Median preoperative 25(OH)D levels were lower, and adenoma weight, PTH, and urinary calcium levels were higher in the Spanish cohort. The Spanish patients had higher preoperative levels of PTH (13.5 versus 11.0 pmol/L,P<0.001), urinary calcium (7.3 versus 4.1 mmol/L,P<0.001), and heavier adenomas (620 versus 500 g,P<0.001). The mean increase in BMD was higher in patients from Spain and in patients with vitamin D deficiency one year after surgery.Conclusion. Postmenopasual women with PHPT from Spain had a more advanced disease and lower vitamin 25(OH)D levels. Improvement in bone density one year after surgery was higher in patients with preoperative vitamin D deficiency.

ObjectiveConcentrations of 50 and 75 nmol/l are proposed as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) target for older people from the view of bone health. We evaluated vitamin D status of elderly Finnish women in light of these definitions, its relationship to bone mineral density (BMD) and turnover, and improvement by summer sunshine.DesignPopulation-based study.MethodsA total of 1604 ambulatory women aged 62–79 years were studied; 66% used vitamin D supplements. Serum 25(OH)D3was measured with HPLC before and after summer, and heel BMD in spring. In subgroups, serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) and type I procollagen aminoterminal propeptide (PINP) were analyzed.ResultsIn spring, 60.3% of the women had 25(OH)D3≤50 nmol/l, and the target of 75 nmol/l was reached by 9.1%. For supplement users, the respective numbers were 52.1 and 11.9%. Serum 25(OH)D3did not determine BMD or bone turnover measured by serum PINP. Summer sunshine increased serum 25(OH)D3by 17.4% (P<0.0001), but in autumn 84% of the subjects remained under the target of 75 nmol/l. In supplement users, PTH remained stable but decreased in others during summer (P=0.025).ConclusionsVitamin D status of elderly Finnish women is suboptimal if 25(OH)D3levels of 50 or 75 nmol/l are used as a threshold. It is moderately increased by supplement intake and summer sunshine. However, 25(OH)D3concentrations did not influence bone density in terms of serum PINP and bone turnover rate.

Background: We postulated that the preoperative correction of vitamin D levels can significantly reduce the incidence of hunger bone syndrome among patients undergoing parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism. Methods: We performed a prospective, randomized, open-label study on 102 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and coexisting vitamin D deficiency who were scheduled to undergo parathyroidectomy. Patients were divided into the following two groups: group I which included 52 patients who did not receive preoperative vitamin D supplementation; and group II which included 50 patients who received cholecalciferol 1000–2000 IU daily or 50000 IU weekly until they achieve vitamin D levels >20 ng/mL (group IIa = 25 patients) or vitamin D levels >30 ng/mL (group IIb = 25 patients). Results: The incidence of hunger bone syndrome in group IIb was lower than group I and group IIa (8% versus 16% versus 23%, respectively); however, this difference did not reach the level of statistical significance (p = 0.22). Patients with hunger bone syndrome were significantly younger and had higher serum phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, magnesium, and bone mineral density at baseline than patients without hunger bone syndrome. On the other hand, patients with hunger bone syndrome had significantly lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D at baseline than patients without hunger bone syndrome (p = 0.001). The ROC curve showed that the baseline level of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D was not an independent discriminator of hunger bone syndrome (area under curve = 0.21 (95% CI: 0.06–0.34); p = 0.011). Conclusion: Preoperative course of vitamin D supplements has no preventive role on the postoperative incidence of hunger bone syndrome among patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and coexisting vitamin D deficiency undergoing parathyroidectomy.

1. The elimination half-time of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in plasma was estimated after intravenous injection of the radioactively labelled metabolite in seven patients with primary hyperparathyroidism before and after excision of a parathyroid adenoma. 2. The elimination half-time of 25-hydroxyvitamin D was significantly shortened in primary hyperparathyroidism and reverted towards normal after parathyroidectomy. 3. The increased metabolic clearance of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in primary hyperparathyroidism was accounted for by an increased excretion of vitamin D-derived inactivation products in the faeces. 4. Enhanced hepatic inactivation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D may be important in the development of vitamin D deficiency in primary hyperparathyroidism.

SummaryBackground:Despite negative association between 25-hydroxy vitamin D and incidence of many chronic respiratory diseases, this feature was not well studied in sarcoidosis. Current study investigated the association between 25-hydroxy vitamin D deficiency with sarcoidosis chronicity, disease activity, extra-pulmonary skin manifestations, urine calcium level and pulmonary function status in Iranian sarcoidosis patients. Results of this study along with future studies, will supply more effective programs for sarcoidosis treatment.Methods:Eighty sarcoidosis patients in two groups of insufficient serum level and sufficient serum level of 25-hydroxy vitamin D were studied. Course of sarcoidosis was defined as acute and chronic sarcoidosis. Pulmonary function test (PFT) was assessed by spirometry. Skin involvements were defined as biopsy proven skin sarcoidosis. 24-hour urine calcium level was used to specify the disease activity. Stages of lung involvements were obtained by CT-scan and chest X-ray. The statistical analyses were evaluated using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences.Results:A significant negative correlation was obtained between vitamin D deficiency in sarcoidosis patients and disease chronic course and stages two to four of lung involvements. Considering other parameters of the disease and vitamin D deficiency, no significant correlation was detected.Conclusions:In conclusion, results of the current study implies in the role of vitamin 25(OH)D deficiencies in predicting the course of chronic sarcoidosis. Furthermore, it was concluded that vitamin 25(OH)D deficiency can direct pulmonary sarcoidosis toward stage 2–4 of lung involvements.

Abstract Background: Low levels of vitamin D 25OHD are frequently described in PHP patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate bone parameters and vitamin D status in PHP patients and controls. Methods: Prior to surgery, 64 PHP patients and 63 healthy matched control subjects regarding age, gender and body mass index were enrolled in this study along 18 months. 25OHD and PTH were measured using Roche® Immunoassays. Bone mineral density (BMD) by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (Hologic QDR 4500) and TBS (InSight™) were determined in all patients and controls. Distribution of total, bioavailable and free (calculated) 25OH and its correlation with TBS and DXA in both groups was evaluated. DBP (vitamin D binding protein) SNPs genetic analysis was performed by ABI 7500 real time PCR System. None of the patients and controls were taking vitamin D supplements before the study. Results: PHP patients had lower BMD values than controls in all sites (p&lt;0.01). TBS measurements were also reduced in PHP patients compared to controls, as expected (1233 vs 1280, p=0.04). There was no statistical difference in free, total and bioavailable 25OHD measurements between the PHP and the control group, mean±SD: 3.4±1.7 vs 3.1±1.7 pg/mL (p=0.44), 22.6± 6.1 vs 20.6± ng/dL (p=0.13) 1.53±0.66 vs 1.41±0.61 ng/mL (p=0.28), respectively. Likewise, there was no statistical difference in DBP haplotypes 1s/1s, 1f/1f, 1s/1f, 2/2, 1s/2, 1f/2 analysis between groups. There was no correlation with 25OHD and DXA measurements in both groups. However, total 25OHD presented statistical significant correlation with TBS measurements in the PHP group (r=0.28; p=0.02) and total, free and bioavailable 25OHD measurements with TBS in the control group (r=0.42; r=0.42; r=0.43; p&lt;0.01). Conclusion: Vitamin D status correlates with TBS, but not with DXA, highlighting the relation of the vitamin D with the microarchitecture bone parameters in both PHP patients and controls. However, this correlation was more evident among controls than in PHP patients, spotlighting the primary hyperparathyroidism effects in bone.

Abstract Vitamin D deficiency has been commonly reported in elite athletes, but the vitamin D status of UK university athletes in different training environments remains unknown. The present study aimed to determine any seasonal changes in vitamin D status among indoor and outdoor athletes, and whether there was any relationship between vitamin D status and indices of physical performance and bone health. A group of forty-seven university athletes (indoor n 22, outdoor n 25) were tested during autumn and spring for serum vitamin D status, bone health and physical performance parameters. Blood samples were analysed for serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (s-25(OH)D) status. Peak isometric knee extensor torque using an isokinetic dynamometer and jump height was assessed using an Optojump. Aerobic capacity was estimated using the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test. Peripheral quantitative computed tomography scans measured radial bone mineral density. Statistical analyses were performed using appropriate parametric/non-parametric testing depending on the normality of the data. s-25(OH)D significantly fell between autumn (52·8 (sd 22·0) nmol/l) and spring (31·0 (sd 16·5) nmol/l; P < 0·001). In spring, 34 % of participants were considered to be vitamin D deficient (<25 nmol/l) according to the revised 2016 UK guidelines. These data suggest that UK university athletes are at risk of vitamin D deficiency. Thus, further research is warranted to investigate the concomitant effects of low vitamin D status on health and performance outcomes in university athletes residing at northern latitudes.

Objective. To analyze the levels of fat-soluble vitamins (FSVs) in pediatric patients with biliary atresia (BA) before and after the Kasai procedure. Methods. Pediatric patients with obstructive jaundice were enrolled in this study. The FSV levels and liver function before, 2 weeks after, and 1, 3, and 6 months after the Kasai procedure were measured. Results. FSV deficiency was more obvious in patients with BA than in patients with other cholestatic liver diseases, especially vitamin D deficiency. 25-Hydroxy vitamin D (25-(OH)D) deficiency was more pronounced in younger patients before surgery. The 25-(OH)D level was significantly higher in patients with than without resolution of jaundice 3 months after surgery. At 6 months after surgery, the 25-(OH)D level was abnormally high at 8.76 ng/ml in patients with unresolved jaundice. Conclusions. Preoperative FSV deficiency, particularly vitamin D deficiency, is common in patients with BA. 25-(OH)D deficiency is more pronounced in younger children before surgery. Postoperative FSV deficiency was still prevalent as shown by the lower 25-(OH)D levels in patients with BA and unresolved jaundice. This required long-term vitamin AD supplementation for pediatric patients with BA and unresolved jaundice after surgery.
