Magnesium ion (Mg2+ ) plays an important role in maintaining the life and health of the body.In preterm infants, the protective effect of prenatal Mg2+ supplementation on the nervous system of preterm infants has been widely recognized.Researchers begin to pay attention to the effects of serum Mg2+ level on the development of nervous system and effects of prenatal exposure to Mg2+ on the non-nervous system in preterm infants.The effects of Mg2+ on the development of neural and non-neural system in preterm infants were summarized.

Objective To summarize the best evidence of nutritional support therapy with food for special medi-cal purpose for patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy after oncology surgery,and to provide a reference basis for standardizing the application of food for special medical purpose and guiding clinical nutritional therapy practice for oncology patients.Methods Computer search was conducted on UpToDate,Guidelines International Network(GIN),National Guideline Clearinghouse,National Comprehensive Cancer Network,National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence,Oncology Nursing Society,American Society for Parenteral Enteral Nutrition,European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism,Chinese Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition,Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Health Care Centre database,Cochrane Library,PubMed,CINAHL,Scopus,Web of Science,Em-base,CBM,Wanfang,and China Knowledge Network on the nutritional support treatment of food for special medical purpose for postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy patients.The retrieval period was from January 2012 to August 2022.Quality evaluation of the literature was completed independently by 2 evidence-based trained researchers and combined with expert advice to extract and summarise evidence for the literature that met quality standards.Results A total of 14 articles were included,including 4 guidelines,1 clinical decision,2 systematic re views,4 expert consen-suses,and 3 randomized controlled trials.The 14 pieces of best evidence were compiled,covering 6 aspects of nu-tritional screening and assessment,nutritional education,recommended dose,formulation selection,nutritional treat-ment,and management of adverse effects.Conclusion This study summarises the best evidence on the nutritional management of food for special medical purpose in postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy patients with cancer,which is scientific and systematic.When administering nutritional therapy to patients,healthcare professionals should fully assess the nutritional status of patients,make clear and prudent choices on the dosage and type of food for special medical puipose to be used by patients,and guide patients to improve their nutritional status safely and effectively to improve their quality of life.To improve the quality of life.

BACKGROUND:
Corneal disease is second only to cataract considered as the leading cause of blindness in the world, with high morbidity. Construction of corneal substitutes In Vitro by tissue engineering technology to achieve corneal regeneration has become a research hotspot in recent years. We conducted in-depth research on the biocompatibility, physicochemical and mechanical properties of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBM-MSCs)-seeded gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) as a bioengineered cornea.
METHODS:
Four kinds of GelMA with different concentrations (7, 10, 15 and 30%) were prepared, and their physicchemical, optical properties, and biocompatibility with rBM-MSCs were characterized. MTT, live/dead staining, cell morphology, immunofluorescence staining and gene expression of keratocyte markers were performed.
RESULTS:
7%GelMA hydrogel had higher equilibrium water content and porosity, better optical properties and hydrophilicity. In addition, it is more beneficial to the growth and proliferation of rBM-MSCs. However, the 30%GelMA hydrogel had the best mechanical properties, and could be more conducive to promote the differentiation of rBM-MSCs into keratocyte-like cells.
CONCLUSION
As a natural biological scaffold, GelMA hydrogel has good biocompatibility. And it has the ability to promote the differentiation of rBM-MSCs into keratocyte-like cells, which laid a theoretical and experimental foundation for further tissue-engineered corneal stromal transplantation, and provided a new idea for the source of seeded cells in corneal tissue engineering.
