Summary: The study found that higher dietary magnesium intake was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause and cancer mortality, but not CVD mortality. There were no significant associations between supplemental and total magnesium intakes with the risk of mortality. Linear dose-response analysis revealed that each additional intake of 100 mg/d of dietary magnesium was linked to a decreased risk of all-cause and cancer mortality.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between calcium intake and mortality risk. The findings suggested that moderate intake of total and dietary calcium were inversely associated with mortality risk, while supplemental calcium intake showed no significant association. Nonlinear relationships were observed between calcium intake and all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality risk.

Summary: Through analysis of data from the European Prospective Investigation of Cancer, Norfolk cohort, it was found that moderate calcium intake may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality, while also potentially providing protection against future stroke. Calcium supplementation appears to have a beneficial effect on mortality rates in women, but not in men.

Summary: This study evaluated the magnesium status of athletes through a systematic review of cross-sectional studies. It was found that despite having significantly higher dietary magnesium intake, athletes had lower serum magnesium concentration and higher 24-hour urinary magnesium excretion. The higher magnesium requirement of athletes compared to the untrained population highlights the importance of dietary assessment and nutrition counseling.

Summary: This study identified two dietary patterns associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. The first pattern was characterized by high intakes of chocolate, butter, and low-fiber bread, while the second pattern included higher intakes of sugar-sweetened beverages and fruit juice. These findings highlight specific foods and beverages that contribute to unhealthy dietary patterns and support evidence-based dietary recommendations to reduce health risks.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the short-term and long-term outcomes of metabolic and bariatric surgery in patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The results showed that patients with ADHD treated pharmacologically for ADHD experienced similar weight loss and remission of obesity-related diseases compared to patients without ADHD. However, they reported a lower health-related quality of life and had an increased risk of substance abuse and self-harm.

Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the long-term risk of self-harm after bariatric surgery and identify risk factors in patients without prior self-harm. The observational cohort study included patients who underwent a primary Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) procedure or a primary sleeve gastrectomy between 2007 and 2019. The results showed that self-harm occurred at a significantly higher rate in the surgical group compared to the control group, with younger age, lower BMI, certain medical conditions, psychiatric comorbidities, socioeconomic status, type of surgery, lower health-related quality of life, poor postoperative weight loss, and non-attendance at follow-up visits being identified as risk factors.

Summary: Obesity is a worldwide epidemic with adverse health effects, leading to increased use of bariatric surgery such as sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y-gastric bypass (RYGB). This review focuses on postoperative osteoporosis risk and micronutrient deficiencies associated with RYGB and SG. Dietary habits in obese individuals may contribute to deficiencies in vitamin D and other nutrients affecting bone metabolism. Both surgical procedures have different impacts on nutrient absorption, with SG affecting vitamin B-12 and D absorption, while RYGB affects fat-soluble vitamins. Regular follow-ups and nutritional advice are crucial to prevent osteoporosis and other postoperative issues.

Summary: This study demonstrates the role of mechanosignaling in the promotion of an osteoblastic phenotype in response to zirconia exposure. The release of angiocrine factors modulated by mechanosignaling is crucial in creating a microenvironment that promotes wound healing and osseointegration. These findings highlight the importance of considering endothelial cell mechanosignaling in bone healing and osseointegration in the context of blood vessel effects.

Summary: This study investigated the transport of selenium through the soil-crop-human chain in regions with different selenium levels. It found that the residents' dietary selenium intake was related to the selenium content in soil, with one village within the WHO recommended intake range while the other village was at risk of selenium deficiency. There were significant positive correlations between residents' dietary selenium intake and the three selenium biomarkers.

Summary: C57BL/6 mice and BALB/c mice showed different expression profiles of selenoprotein P after a high-fat diet (HFD). C57BL/6 mice in the HFD group had higher body weight, fasting plasma glucose levels, and plasma selenoprotein P levels compared to the ND group. However, BALB/c mice did not show significant differences in fasting plasma selenoprotein P levels between the HFD and ND groups.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the protective effects of Vitamin E (Vit E) on manganese (Mn)-induced nigrostriatal system lesions. The results demonstrate that Vit E improves behavioral disorders, attenuates the loss of nigral dopaminergic neurons, and restores mitochondrial function. Additionally, the protective effect of Vit E may be associated with the upregulation of CHRM1 and KCNJ4 mRNA.

Summary: The study illustrates the changes in iodized salt usage, goiter rate, and median urinary iodine concentration in school-aged children in Chongqing over the past 21 years. Adequate iodized salt consumption can eliminate iodine deficiency disorders in children, but excessive iodine intake from salt can lead to high urinary iodine excretion and even goiter. Continuous monitoring and adjustment of iodine fortification levels in household table salt is crucial.

Summary: The zinc coordination complex ZnMD, synthesized in this study, showed promising effects in treating hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy. It was more effective than the antihypertensive drug MD in reducing blood pressure and preventing myocardial hypertrophy. ZnMD also exhibited protective effects on the heart by reducing oxidative damage and regulating the expression of oxidative enzymes. These findings suggest that ZnMD has the potential to be developed as a therapeutic drug for hypertension and cardiac dysfunction.

Summary: This study investigates the neuro effects of lanthanides on different brain areas in rats and finds that they can distribute and accumulate in various brain regions. Treatment with cerium nanoparticles or lanthanum causes a significant decrease in norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, and GABA, accompanied by a significant increase in 5-hydroxyl indoleacetic acid levels. Moreover, cerium nanoparticles exhibit high activity in scavenging free radicals.
