Aim: To investigate the effects of different magnesium forms on tissue damage, cognitive and emotional behavioural impairment after mild traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Material And Methods: Rats were divided into 5 groups (control, trauma, magnesium sulphate, magnesium citrate, magnesium acetyl taurate) and following head trauma, empathy-like behaviour, anxiety-like behaviour (elevated plus maze and open field tests), and depression (forced swim test) were measured. The rats were then sacrificed 12 days later. Oxytocin, vasopressin and receptors levels in the amygdala and prefrontal cortex regions were measured. Histopathological damage (with haematoxylin-eosin staining) and apoptosis (with caspase-3 immunohistochemistry) was evaluated.
Results: Following head trauma, anxiety-like behaviour and depression tests did not change; empathy-like behaviour deteriorated on the 3rd day and improved gradually on the 6th and 12th days. Oxytocin, vasopressin and vasopressin v1b receptor levels decreased in the amygdala; morphological damage and apoptosis were significant. Magnesium acetyl taurate effectively ameliorated histopathological deteriorations and improved vasopressin and v1b receptor levels in the amygdala. Transient deterioration of empathy-like behaviour was impeded only in magnesium taurate treatment.
Conclusion: Magnesium acetyl taurate can be a promising candidate agent to prevent structural and functional damage in traumatic brain injury.

Despite major efforts toward its eradication, cholera remains a major health threat and economic burden in many low- and middle-income countries. Between outbreaks, the bacterium responsible for the disease, , survives in aquatic environmental reservoirs, where it commonly forms biofilms, for example, on zooplankton. -acetyl glucosamine-binding protein A (GbpA) is an adhesin that binds to the chitinaceous surface of zooplankton and breaks its dense crystalline packing thanks to its lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) activity, which provides with nutrients.

Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the conversion of chitin-rich wastes into valuable chemicals and biofuels, specifically focusing on the use of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) as a key ingredient.
- A fed-batch culture method was used with the organism Cutaneotrichosporon oleaginosum to maximize the production of microbial lipids and magnesium ammonium phosphate (MAP) while overcoming the inhibitory effects of GlcNAc.
- The results indicated high efficiency in nutrient recovery and production, achieving significant yields of lipids, which are promising for biodiesel, and demonstrating an effective way to repurpose chitin waste into useful products.
[Guidelines for diagnosis and management of drug-induced liver injury caused by anti-tuberculosis drugs (2024 version)].

Article Synopsis
- Drug-induced liver injury (DILI), specifically anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ATB-DILI), is a common side effect of tuberculosis treatment, prompting the Chinese Medical Association Tuberculosis Branch to create guidelines for better diagnosis and management.
- These guidelines cover various topics, including risk factors (such as genetic variations and existing liver conditions), clinical classification, and comprehensive diagnostic procedures like blood tests and imaging.
- Key recommendations include assessing liver function through specific biochemical tests, collecting detailed medical histories, and using liver biopsies for accurate diagnosis and prognosis of ATB-DILI.

Magnesium (Mg) is a crucial mineral involved in numerous cellular processes critical for neuronal health and function. This review explores the multifaceted roles of Mg, from its biochemical interactions at the cellular level to its impact on cognitive health and behavioral regulation. Mg acts as a cofactor for over 300 enzymatic reactions, including those involved in ATP synthesis, nucleic acid stability, and neurotransmitter release.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a complex and common syndrome characterized by chronic widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and various functional symptoms without clear structural or pathological causes. Affecting approximately 1-5% of the global population, with a higher prevalence in women, FM significantly impacts patients' quality of life, often leading to considerable healthcare costs and loss of productivity. Despite its prevalence, the etiology of FM remains elusive, with genetic, environmental, and psychological factors, including nutrition, being implicated.
