        The Association between Serum Uric Acid and Peripheral Neuropathy in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Multicenter Nationwide Cross- Sectional Study

        Wisit Kaewput,Charat Thongprayoon,Ram Rangsin,Sarawut Jindarat,Ploypun Narindrarangkura,Tarun Bathini,Michael A. Mao,Wisit Cheungpasitporn 대한가정의학회 2020 Korean Journal of Family Medicine Vol.41 No.3

        Background: The role of uric acid in the development of diabetic peripheral neuropathy remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the association between uric acid and peripheral neuropathy among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Methods: We conducted a nationwide cross-sectional study based on the diabetes and hypertension study of the Medical Research Network of the Consortium of Thai Medical Schools. Adult T2DM patients from 831 public hospitals in Thailand were evaluated. The serum uric acid level was categorized into five groups based on quintiles (<4.4, 4.4–5.3, 5.3–6.2, 6.2–7.3, and >7.3 mg/dL). A multivariate logistic regression model was used to assess the independent association between serum uric acid level and peripheral neuropathy. Results: In total, 7,511 T2DM patients with available data about serum uric acid levels were included in the analysis. The mean age of the participants was 61.7±10.9 years, and approximately 35.6% were men. The prevalence rate of peripheral neuropathy was 3.0%. Moreover, the prevalence rates of peripheral neuropathy stratified according to uric acid levels <4.4, 4.4–5.3, 5.3–6.2, 6.2–7.3, and >7.3 mg/dL were 2.5%, 2.8%, 2.4%, 2.5%, and 4.7%, respectively. A serum uric acid level ≥7.3 mg/dL was found to be associated with an increase in odds ratio (1.54; 95% confidence interval, 1.02–2.32) for peripheral neuropathy compared with a serum uric acid level <4.4 mg/dL. Conclusion: Serum uric acid level is independently associated with peripheral neuropathy in T2DM patients, and elevated serum uric acid levels should be considered a risk factor for diabetic peripheral neuropathy in clinical practice.

        Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Vitamin D Supplementation in the Build-up Phase of House Dust Mite-Specific Immunotherapy

        Chiewchalermsri Chirawat,Sangkanjanavanich Sasipa,Pradubpongsa Panitan,Mitthamsiri Wat,Jaisupa Nattapon,Jindarat Sarawut,Buranapraditkun Supranee,Jacquet Alain,Sangasapaviliya Atik,Boonpiyathad Tadech 대한천식알레르기학회 2023 Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Research Vol.15 No.3

        Purpose: Vitamin D (VitD) is an immunomodulatory molecule capable of alleviating allergic symptoms. However, the effectiveness of allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) is not commonly evidenced in the early build-up phase. The aim of the study was to determine the potential of VitD supplementation in this treatment phase. Methods: Thirty-four house dust mite (HDM)-allergic adult patients treated with subcutaneous AIT were randomized to receive VitD2 60,000 IU/week or placebo for 10 weeks and followed up for 10 weeks. The primary endpoints were the symptom-medication score (SMS) and the treatment response rate. The secondary endpoints were eosinophil count and levels of plasma IL-10, Der p 2-specific IgG4, and dysfunctional regulatory T (CRTH2+ Treg) cells. Results: Of 34 patients, 15 in each group completed the study. Patients with VitD deficiency receiving a VitD supplement showed significantly lower mean change SMS than the placebo group in weeks 10 (mean difference −54.54%, P = 0.007) and 20 (mean difference −42.69%, P = 0.04). The percentage of treatment responders reached 78% and 50% in the VitD and placebo groups, respectively, and the effect remained in week 20 (89% and 60%). No significant difference was observed for the tested immunological read-outs, with the exception of the frequency of CRTH2+ Treg cells, which was remarkably reduced in the VitD-treated patients. Moreover, improvement in SMS was correlated to the number of CRTH2+ Treg cells. Our in vitro experiment indicated that VitD downregulated activation markers, whereas it improved the function of CRTH2+ Treg cells. Conclusions: VitD supplementation in the build-up phase of AIT could relieve symptoms and decrease Treg cell dysfunction, especially in patients with VitD deficiency.
