A Morchella-like hierarchical porous Fe-doping magnesium hydroxide (Fe(III)-PMH) was synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal process using iron-bearing brucite with the modulation of recyclable L-threonate. The L-threonate facilitated formatting Morchella-like porous structure through controlling specific lattice plane of Mg(OH) 2 . The as-prepared Fe(III)-PMH features a high specific surface area porous structure and even distribution of steady Fe(III) active sites doped in Mg(OH) 2 lattice, contributing to its degradation of amphoteric antibiotics or anionic dyes in the presence of H 2 O 2 . The surface alkalinity of Fe(III)-PMH drives the anionic conversion of amphoteric antibiotics or enhances the ionization of anionic dyes. Then these anionic contaminants are rapidly absorbed and oxidized in situ on the positively charged surface of Fe(III)-PMH. For the stable presence of superoxide radicals in Fe(III)-PMH/H 2 O 2 system, a wide range of working pH was obtained (pH 3–11). Moreover, a negligible amount of leached iron ions, and excellent reusability make it durable and promising for industrial applications. This work provides a simple and low-cost preparation of heterogeneous catalysts with good performance, especially for the highly effective enhanced Fenton-like system in the wastewater treatment of amphoteric antibiotics and anionic dyes.

To achieve osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and neurogenesis for repairing bone defects, we constructed an anisotropic microspheres–cryogel composite loaded with magnesium l-threonate (MgT). These composites were prepared by the photo-click reaction of norbornene-modified gelatin (GB) in the presence of MgT-loaded microspheres through the bidirectional freezing method. The composites possessed an anisotropic macroporous (around 100 μm) structure and sustained release of bioactive Mg2+, which facilitate vascular ingrowth. These composites could significantly promote osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, tubular formation of human umbilical vein vessel endothelial cells, and neuronal differentiation in vitro. Additionally, these composites significantly promoted early vascularization and neurogenesis as well as bone regeneration in the rat femoral condyle defects. In conclusion, owing to the anisotropic macroporous microstructure and bioactive MgT, these composites could simultaneously promote bone, blood vessel, and nerve regeneration, showing great potential for bone tissue engineering.

Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) and its emotional comorbidities poses health burden to patients who have received the surgical treatment. However, its underlying mechanism remains unclear. Emerging studies indicate that magnesium deficiency is associated with neurological diseases, and magnesium supplement confers protection under these disease conditions. In this study, we examined the role and mechanism of magnesium deficiency in the pathology of surgery-induced allodynia and negative emotion using a rat model of skin/muscle incision and retraction (SMIR) and investigated the therapeutic effects of magnesium supplementation by oral magnesium-L-Threonate (L-TAMS) in SMIR-injured rats. In the SMIR model, rats developed mechanical allodynia and anxiodepressive-like behaviors. Further, SMIR caused microglia and astrocyte activation and enhanced expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6) in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). Importantly, magnesium ion (Mg 2+ ) levels decreased in the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of SMIR-injured rats, which exhibited high correlation with pain and emotion behavioral phenotypes in these rats. Repeated oral administration of L-TAMS increased serum and CSF levels of Mg 2+ in SMIR-injured rats. Notably, L-TAMS administration reversed SMIR-induced mechanical allodynia and anxiodepressive-like behaviors but did not affect pain and emotional behaviors in sham rats. Moreover, L-TAMS administration suppressed SMIR-caused glial activation and proinflammatory cytokine expression in the ACC but had no such effect in sham rats. Together, our study demonstrates the contributing role of magnesium deficiency in the pathology of surgery-induced chronic pain and negative emotion. Moreover, we suggest that L-TAMS might be a novel approach to treat CPSP and its emotional comorbidities.

l -threonate is the metabolite of vitamin C, while d -erythronate is the metabolite of N -acetyl- d -glucosamine, the nutritional supplement for joint health. They are widely distributed in the environment and human biofluids. Nevertheless, the catabolisms of l -threonate and d -erythronate are sparsely reported. Here we explored the functional diversity of an acid sugar kinase family (Pfam families PF07005-PF17042), and discovered a novel 2-oxo-tetronate kinase. The conserved genome neighborhood of the 2-oxo-tetronate kinase encodes members of class-II fructose-bisphosphate aldolase family (F_bP_aldolase, PF01116) and a dehydrogenase family (PF03446-PF14833). Instructed by this analysis, we experimentally verified that these enzymes are capable of degrading l -threonate into dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) in Arthrobacter sp. ZBG10, Clostridium scindens ATCC 35704, and Pseudonocardia dioxanivorans ATCC 55486. Meanwhile, a convergent catabolic pathway for d -erythronate was characterized in P . dioxanivorans ATCC 55486. Moreover, the phylogenetic distribution analysis indicates that the biological range of the identified l -threonate and d -erythronate catabolic pathways appears to extend mostly to members of the Actinomycetota , Cyanobacteriota , Bacillota , Pseudomonadota , and Bacteroidota phyla.
