BACKGROUND:Magnesium and magnesium-based materials have good biocompatibility,stable osteogenic properties,and biological activities such as vascularization and immune regulation,and show a broad application prospect in stomatology.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the mechanism of magnesium-based materials in the treatment of oral diseases in terms of osteogenesis,angiogenesis,and immunomodulation,and to review the application prospects of magnesium and magnesium-based materials in the field of oral diseases in recent years.METHODS:Chinese search key words were"magnesium,magnesium alloys,magnesium-based metals,fractures,implants,restorations,endodontics,periodontitis,periodontal disease,cysts,oral cancer."English search key works were"magnesium,magnesium-based alloy,fracture,facial bone fractures,denture,dental implant,restorative dentistry,pulpitis,periodontitis,periodontal diseases,oral cancer."The articles were retrieved on CNKI,WanFang,PubMed,and Web of Science databases.By analyzing and reading literature for screening,84 articles were finally included for review.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Magnesium and magnesium-based materials can be used as bone internal fixation devices for jaw fracture or orthognathic surgery.Due to the special biological properties of magnesium,it can not only ensure stable osteogenesis,but also avoid the possibility of secondary surgery,which has the potential to be widely used.In the field of bone regeneration in stomatology,magnesium,relying on its superior biological properties,shows better mechanical properties and antibacterial properties than existing clinical materials,providing more options for the development and application of materials in this field.With the help of the biological activity of magnesium,magnesium-based coating materials give full play to the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects,further promote implant bone bonding and soft tissue integration,and have great application prospects in implant surface modification and promoting implant stability.Although magnesium has been involved in maxillofacial intraoral soft tissue regeneration and treatment,dental tissue engineering,there are still a lot of gaps.To ensure the stable biological characteristics of magnesium,it is usually necessary to add other alloys or carry out magnesium surface modification.However,the biological evaluation system of degradable metal implants is not perfect at present.The clinical application of magnesium in oral diseases still needs to be further clarified in the future.

Objective:To investigate the effects of decellularised extracellular matrix material(dECM)extract on macrophage survival,migration,phagocytosis,pro-inflammatory factor expression and ROS production.Methods:CCK-8 method was used to detect whether the extract of dECM material had cytotoxicity on macrophages;effects of dECM material extracts on macrophage recruit-ment and chemotaxis were examined by Transwell migration assay;effects of dECM material extract on macrophage phagocytosis were detected by pHrodo staining;effects of dECM material extract on expression of pro-inflammatory genes and pro-inflammatory specific functional molecules were detected by RT-qPCR and immunofluorescence staining;detection of the effect of dECM material extracts on macrophage ROS production by the DCFH-DA fluorescent probe approach.Results:Compared with DMEM complete medium,①CCK-8 assay showed that dECM material extract had no toxic effect on macrophages,and could promote the formation of macrophage colonies;②pHrodo staining assay showed that dECM material extract did not affect phagocytosis of macrophages;③Transwell migra-tion assay showed that dECM material extract did not promote macrophage migration;④RT-qPCR results showed that dECM material extracts were able to down-regulate gene expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines and specific functional molecules;⑤Flow cytome-try results showed that dECM material extract could reduce the production of ROS by macrophages.dECM material extract had excel-lent biocompatibility for macrophages.Conclusion:dECM material extract is non-toxic to macrophages and is able to reduce macro-phage pro-inflammatory gene expression and ROS production.

Objective:To measure the distance between the fetal bladder neck and the rectal end using prenatal MRI and analyze the developmental patterns of this distance and the gender differences in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.Methods:This retrospective cohort study involved fetuses born at Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, Guangzhou Medical University after regular prenatal examinations from January 2019 to December 2022 and confirmed to have typical anorectal structures after birth. These fetuses had undergone prenatal MRI examinations for reasons other than abdominal issues. The morphology of the fetuses' colons, rectums, and bladders was observed, and the vertical distance between the bladder neck and the rectal end was measured on sagittal T1weighted imaging. Differences in the distance between male and female fetuses were analyzed. The fetuses were divided into five groups based on their gestational age at the time of MRI examination (23-24 weeks, >24-26 weeks, >26-28 weeks, >28- 30 weeks, and >30-32 weeks), and the changes in the distance with gestational age were analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed using t-test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Spearman correlation analysis. Pairwise comparisons among multiple groups were conducted using the Bonferroni method. Results:(1) A total of 142 fetuses were included in this study, all of which were singletons, with 73 males (51.4%) and 69 females (48.6%). The gestational age at the MRI examination was 28 weeks (26-30 weeks). (2) All fetuses had meconium filling the entire rectum and colon, with the rectal end located 0.570-2.610 cm below the bladder neck. (3) The distance between the bladder neck and the rectal end was shorter in male fetuses than in female fetuses [(1.140±0.261) vs. (1.519±0.405) cm, t=-6.58, P<0.001]. (4) In female fetuses, four pairs of groups showed statistically significant differences in the distance (23-24 weeks group vs. >26-28 weeks, >28- 30 weeks, and >30-32 weeks groups, and >24-26 weeks group vs. >30-32 weeks group). However, only two groups of male fetuses (23-24 weeks group vs. >28-30 weeks group) had statistically significant differences in the distance (all P<0.005). (5) The distance was moderately correlated with gestational age in male fetuses ( r=0.42, P<0.001), but they were strongly correlated in female fetuses ( r=0.66, P<0.001). Conclusions:The distance between the bladder neck and the rectal end in fetuses shows certain developmental patterns and gender differences in pregnancy's second and third trimesters. The correlation between the value and gestational age is stronger in female fetuses.
