Background At present, there is no clinical study to elucidate the correlation between vitamin
D deficiency and the incidence of diabetic foot osteomyelitis (DFO). This study aims to clarify …

Background: Osteomyelitis is an inflammatory process characterized by progressive bone
destruction. Moreover, chronic bacterial osteomyelitis is regarded as a difficult-to-treat …

Variations in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene are related to several inflammatory
disorders. However, the potential links between such alternations and the risk of developing …

Purpose Numerous candidate genes and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have
been identified in the background of lumbar disc degeneration (LDD). However, in most of …

This case‐control study aimed to investigate potential associations between interleukin (IL)
gene polymorphisms and the risks of developing extremity posttraumatic osteomyelitis …

Abstract Background: Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme is one of the major mediators
during inflammation reactions, and COX-2 gene polymorphisms of rs20417 and rs689466 …

Background: Previous studies had reported that vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene
polymorphisms were related to the development of several inflammatory disorders …

Osteomyelitis (OM) is a complicated and serious disease and its underlying molecular
signatures of disease initiation and progression remain unclear. Staphylococcus aureus (S …

Abstract Background Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the nucleotide-binding
domain leucine-rich repeat protein-3 (NLRP3) gene are reported to be linked to many …

Vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) polymorphisms are candidate genetic variants for
susceptibility to autoimmune diseases. Here, we explored the association between VDR …
