Additionally, categorizing smoking status into non-smokers, former smokers, and current smokers could provide a clearer picture of its impact on DFU development and progression.</p><p>Classifying PAD into mild, moderate, and severe categories and comparing the frequency of non-classical monocytes and vitamin D3 levels across these groups would enrich the analysis, offering more nuanced insights into the relationship between PAD severity and immune response.</p><p>The relatively small sample size of the study could limit its statistical power, leading to wider margins of error. A larger cohort would increase the robustness of the findings, ensuring better generalizability and precision<span><sup>4</sup></span>.</p><p>In conclusion, while this study makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the relationship between non-classical monocytes, vitamin D3, and DFUs associated with PAD, addressing the outlined limitations would strengthen the findings and their implications. We believe that future studies incorporating these factors could further advance research in this critical area.</p><p>The aut","PeriodicalId":51250,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Diabetes Investigation","volume":"16 2","pages":"350-351"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11786170/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142724424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
