Nanopowders of hydroxyapatite (HA), modified by magnesium (MgHA) and by silicon (SiHA) were obtained by liquid-phase microwave synthesis method. X-ray diffraction and IR spectroscopy results showed that Mg and SiO ions were present in the synthesized products both as secondary phases and as part of the HA phase. Whitlockite was found in the magnesium-modified HA (MgHA) and larnite was found in the silicon-modified HA (SiHA); ion substitution for both materials resulted in solid solutions. In the synthesized samples of modified HA, the increase of particle size of powders was in the order HA < SiHA < MgHA, which was calculated through data specific surface area and measured pycnometric density of the powders. The Lewis acid sites (Ca, Mg, Si) were present using spectral probes on the surface of the samples of HA, MgHA, and SiHA, and the acidity of these sites decreased in the order SiHA > MgHA > HA. The rates of calcium phosphate layer deposition on the surface of these materials at 37 °C in the model simulated body fluid solution showed similar dependence.

Herein, CuBiO microspheres were first deposited on TiO nanotube arrays to develop a p-n CuBiO/TiO heterojunction by a facile hydrothermal protocol. The variations in the photoinduced open-circuit potential, photocurrent, and electrochemical parameters of the nickel-plated magnesium alloy (Mg/Ni) demonstrated the remarkably strengthened photoelectrochemical efficiency and photocathodic protection (PCP) capability caused by the CuBiO modification. This enhancement is attributed to establishing a built-in electric field and intensified light absorption in a broadened wavelength spectrum, confirmed by the valence band XPS and ultraviolet-visible spectra.

Precise control of particle size, pore size distribution, and carbon layer spacing under green and low-energy conditions is critical for developing advanced carbon electrodes for supercapacitors and sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, we proposed a new strategy to prepare an MgAl bimetallic metal-organic framework (MOF) via a pre-ionization strategy, effectively avoiding harsh conditions and using organic solvents in hydrothermal synthesis. By fine-tuning the Mg/Al ratio and pyrolysis conditions, the particle size, pore size distribution and carbon layer spacing of rod porous carbon (RPC) were precisely adjusted.

Introduction: Metabolic alkalosis induced by prepartum diet cations impairs Ca homeostasis in the periparturient cow. Adding anions to prepartum diets reduces blood pH improving periparturient Ca homeostasis. Urine pH generally reflects blood pH and is practical to measure on farm.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common pregnancy complication closely associated with increased oxidative stress. The Oxidative Balance Score (OBS) integrates dietary and lifestyle factors influencing oxidative stress, yet its relationship with GDM remains unclear.
Methods: In this case-control study, 150 pregnant women with GDM and 170 healthy controls were recruited from primary healthcare centers in Urmia, Iran.

Magnesium (Mg) is an essential macronutrient in plants, vital for photosynthesis, enzyme activation, protein synthesis, and carbon metabolism. This study evaluated the effects of magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NPs) on growth, physiological performance, and rhizosphere microbial composition in soybean (Glycine max L.).
