Objective:To detect the serum levels of 25(OH)D,miR-125b-5p,hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)and vascular endothelial growth factor A(VEGFA)in patients with multiple myeloma(MM),and explore the role of miR-125b-5p/HIF-1α pathway in the involvement of vitamin D deficiency in the pathogenesis of MM.Methods:Fifty three newly diagnosed/relapsed MM patients admitted to the department of hematology of our hospital from October 2021 to December 2023 were included.Meanwhile,25 healthy individuals matched in gender and age from our hospital's Health Management Center were selected as controls.The serum level of 25(OH)D was monitored by mass spectrometry,the serum level of miR-125b-5p was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR,and serum levels of HIF-1α and VEGFA were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The levels of 25(OH)D,miR-125b-5p,HIF-1α,and VEGFA were compared between the two groups.According to the level of 25(OH)D,the MM patients were divided into vitamin D deficiency group(＜20 ng/ml)and vitamin D non-deficiency group(≥ 20 ng/ml),and the levels of miR-125b-5p,HIF-1α,and VEGFA were compared between the two groups.The correlations between 25(OH)D,miR-125b-5p,HIF-1α and VEGFA were analyzed.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was used to determine the diagnostic value of25(OH)D combined with miR-125b-5p for newly diagnosed MM.Results:The level of 25(OH)D in MM patients was significantly lower than that in control group(P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in 25(OH)D level between newly diagnosed and relapsed MM patients(P＞0.05).Compared with the control group,the level of miR-125b-5p was significantly reduced in MM patients(P＜0.01),while the levels of HIF-1α and VEGFA were significantly increased(both P＜0.001).In MM patients,the miR-125b-5p level in the vitamin D deficiency group was significantly decreased than that in the non-deficiency group(P＜0.01),while the levels of HIF-1 α and VEGFA were significantly increased(both P＜0.05).In MM patients,25(OH)D was positively correlated with miR-125b-5p,while negatively correlated with HIF-1α and VEGFA(both P＜0.05).Moreover,miR-125b-5p was negatively correlated with HIF-1α and VEGFA(both P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)for diagnosing MM with 25(OH)D,miR-125b-5p,and their combination were 0.699,0.751,and 0.791,respectively.Conclusion:The incidence of vitamin D deficiency is high in MM patients.Vitamin D deficiency may promote angiogenesis and participate in the occurrence and development of MM by downregulating miR-125b-5p and upregulating HIF-1α and VEGFA expression.

Objective:To investigate the sex difference and symptom correlation of pituitary-thyroid axis and pituitary-adrenal axis function in patients with remitted schizophrenia.Methods:Using cross-sectional study method,243 patients with remitted schizophrenia at Changning District Mental Health Center of Shanghai from January 2019 to September 2021(schizophrenia group)were selected,and healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations during the same period(healthy control group)were also selected.The demographic data and HPT axis,HPA axis neuroendocrine indicators[serum thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH),free triiodothyronine(FT3),free thyroid hormone(FT4),triiodothyronine(TT3),thyroid hormone(TT4),adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH),and cortisol(COR)]between healthy control group and schizophrenia group were compared.Gender differences in HPT axis and HPA axis in schizophrenia patients were compared.The correlation between neuroendocrine indicators and gender,disease duration,positive and negative symptom scale(PANSS)scores in patients with schizophrenia were analyzed by linear regression method.Using stratified multiple linear regression,laboratory measured variables and age were included as predictive factors in the model to construct a regression prediction model for hormone levels between schizophrenia and healthy control group,as well as subgroups of schizophrenia gender.Generate receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves based on the probability values of predictive factors,and determine the predictive value of the logistic regression model using the area under the curve(AUC).Results:TT3,TSH,TT4 in schizophrenia group were lower than those in the healthy control group(P＜0.05),while ACTH and COR were higher than those in the healthy control group(P＜0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in the negative symptom scores,TSH,TT3,FT3,ACTH,and COR levels between the female schizophrenia group and male schizophrenia group(P＜0.05).PANSS,total score of general psychopathology score were positively correlated with COR level,negative symptom score was negatively correlated with FT3 levels(all P＜0.05),but there was no linear relationship among the three(absolute value of r＜0.3).ROC curve results showed that,the schizophrenia hormone level model had good discrimination accuracy,with AUC=0.872(95％confidence interval 0.841-0.904),the optimal threshold(Yoden index)=0.651.ROC curve shows that the male and female subgroups of schizophrenia models also have good discrimination accuracy,with AUC=0.794(95％confidence interval 0.737-0.850)and the optimal cutoff value(Yoden index)=0.495.Conclusion:The changes of active T4 in schizophrenia patients may be one of the possible causes of the chronic pathological changes of schizophrenia.The level of high-functioning T3 hormone is significantly lower in female patients than that in male patients.The hierarchical regression model provides good identification accuracy for remitted schizophrenia and gender subgroups.
