“…The metabolism of tellurium in the human body remains unclear, despite being first recognized as a potential industrial poison a century ago (Shie and Deeds 1920 ). Recently, Duan et al ( 2023 ) indicated a significant correlation between tellurium exposure and an increased risk of developing hypertension (high blood pressure). Animal studies showed that up to 25% of tellurium dioxide (TeO 2 ) taken orally was absorbed by the gut; tellurium was primarily stored in the kidneys, but it accumulates in the liver, spleen, heart, lungs, brain, and bones (Hayes and Ramos 2019 ) (Fig.…”

Tellurium is a super-trace metalloid on Earth. Owing to its excellent physical and chemical properties, it is used in industries such as metallurgy and manufacturing, particularly of semiconductors and – more recently – solar panels. As the global demand for tellurium rises, environmental issues surrounding tellurium have recently aroused concern due to its high toxicity. The amount of tellurium released to the environment is increasing, and microorganisms play an important role in the biogeochemical cycling of environmental tellurium. This review focuses on novel developments on tellurium transformations driven by microbes and includes the following sections: (1) history and applications of tellurium; (2) toxicity of tellurium; (3) microbial detoxification mechanisms against soluble tellurium anions including uptake, efflux and methods of reduction, and reduced ability to cope with oxidation stress or repair damaged DNA; and (4) the characteristics and applications of tellurium nanoparticles (TeNPs) produced by microbes. This review raises the awareness of microorganisms in tellurium biogeochemical cycling and the growing applications for microbial tellurium nanoparticles.

Background Elevated homocysteine (Hcy) levels have been linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD), but their association with cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) remains uncertain. Methods Data from the baseline survey of the China Northwest Cohort-Ningxia Project (CNC-NX) were used to recruit 22,566 participants. Demographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, and laboratory exam results were collected. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between Hcy levels and CMM risk. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) explored potential non-linear relationships, and subgroup analyses assessed the consistency of the association across distinct groups. Sensitivity analysis accounted for cluster variability. Results The final analysis included 18,126 participants. Higher Hcy levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of CMM (adjusted OR = 1.005, P = 0.003), with a linear relationship confirmed by RCS analysis ( P for non-linearity = 0.142). There was a stronger association between Hcy-CMM in high-risk people, including elderly, males, and those with high BMI ( P < 0.05). No significant association was observed between Hcy levels and more severe types of CMM. Conclusions Elevated Hcy levels are correlated with an increased risk of CMM, warranting further investigation into the underlying mechanisms and potential interventions. Given the individual differences in the Hcy-CMM relationship, targeted comprehensive interventions for high-risk groups are necessary to reduce the risk of CMM.
