In addition, we confirmed the causal role Vitamin D using 2 synthesis-related single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which are consistent with previous MR studies [OR per SD = 0.894, 95% CI = 0.816-0.979, P = .016].With a largely improved sample size, our results confirmed that genetically increased 25(OH)D concentration reduced the risk of type 2 diabetes and provided a more precise estimate for the effect size. The updated result empowers the role of Vitamin D and provides nontrivial evidence for interventional studies. Caudal epidural injection (CEI) is effective for lumbar spinal pain. However, accidental intravascular injection reduces therapeutic efficacy of CEI and leads to fatal complications such as hematoma, and neurologic deficit. Whitacre needle has been reported to be effective for reducing intravascular injection during transforaminal epidural injection, compared with Quincke needle. The bevel of Chiba needle is shorter than that of Quincke needle. In this study we compared Whitacre needle and Chiba needle on incidence of intravascular injection during CEI.This was a single-blind, randomized clinical consort study. After institutional Review Board approval, a total of 164 patients underwent CEI were randomly allocated to one of 2 group (Whitacre needle or Chiba needle group). Intravascular injection was assessed with real-time fluoroscopy. In addition, total procedure time was measured. Data were compared between groups, and P < .05 was consideredstatistically significant.There were no differences between grg CEI, compared to Chiba needle. 18 previous meta-analyses have been published on the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T and A1298C polymorphisms with male infertility risk. However, results of the previous meta-analyses were still inconsistent. Moreover, their meta-analyses did not assess false-positive report probabilities except one study. Fu
