To evaluate the influences of vitamin D2 injection on serum 25-hydroxyvitmin D (25(OH)D) and immune function in men with vitamin D deficiency aged 80 and over.
A total of 48 men with vitamin D deficiency aged 80 and over were given intramuscular vitamin D2 600 000 IU every month until the serum 25(OH)D reached and over 30 µg·L-1. The levels of serum 25(OH)D2, 25(OH)D3, T lymphocyte cells (including CD3+, CD4+, CD8+), B lymphocyte cells (CD19+), and blood calcium and phosphorus were detected before and after treatment. And adverse reactions were observed.
A total of 40 patients completed the study. It took (6.2±1.4) months for 25(OH)D to reach targeted serum concentration. Compared with those before treatment, the serum levels of 25(OH)D2 after the treatment increased by (27.42±5.47) µg·L-1, 25(OH)D3 decreased by (5.25±3.38) µg·L-1, and the total 25(OH)D increased by (22.45±6.15) µg·L-1 (all P<0.01). And the serum levels of CD4+ T cells increased by (3.71±6.26)%, CD4+/CD8+ increased 0.31±0.93, and CD19+ B cell increased by (1.50±3.31)% (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in serum CD3+ T cells, alanine aminotransferase, blood glucose, creatinine, calcium, and phosphorus before and after the treatment (P>0.05). No severe adverse drug reactions occurred during the treatment.
Vitamin D2 injection is helpful for increasing serum 25(OH)D2 levels and regulating immune function in men with vitamin D deficiency aged 80 and over.
