Article Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of UAI with ESI, sonic activation with Eddy and syringe irrigation in removing debris, and dentin removal during canal irrigation. Twenty-four mandibular molars containing isthmus type V and with a mean curvature of 32.5° were instrumented and divided into three groups for final irrigation: UAI with ESI, sonic activation with Eddy and syringe irrigation. The samples were scanned in a SkyScan 1172 micro-CT device for pre-, post-instrumentation and post-irrigation images and analysis of dentin removal. Statistical analysis was performed using Wilcoxon, Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests. UAI and sonic activation significantly improved debris removal (P < 0.05). No significant difference was observed regarding dentin removal between the groups (P > 0.05), although higher values were found for UAI. Sonic activation with Eddy showed to be an effective and safe device since it was able to remove debris without causing damage to the canal walls.

Tussah pupa protein (TPP), rich in diverse bioactive components and demonstrating extensive physiological activities, has attracted attention in food processing. However, its limited emulsion stability restricts application potential, requiring improvement of techno-functional properties. The effects of myofibrillar protein (MP) compounding coupled with ultrasonic treatment on the emulsifying properties and nutritional value of TPP were systematically investigated from a multi-scale perspective in this study.

Unlabelled: Disuse muscle atrophy (DMA) is characterized by progressive loss of muscle mass and strength, often accompanied by inflammation and macrophage imbalance. Here, we introduce hydrogenated silicene nanosheets (H-silicene) as a novel nanotherapeutic strategy to mitigate DMA through modulating macrophage polarization. H-silicene exhibited good biocompatibility and sustained hydrogen release.

The aim of the study was to assess the effect of lyophilized cell-free supernatant (CFS) obtained from Lacticaseibacillus paracasei B1 and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum O24 cultures on the characteristics of cooked pork sausages stored by 21 days at 4 °C. The following parameters were assessed: antioxidant activity (ABTS, Reducing Power, Fe-chelating activity), texture parameters (hardness, springiness, gumminess, chewiness) and color changes (L*,a*,b*), as well as the fatty acid profile and TBARS content as an indicator of lipid oxidation. Microbiological status was also assessed.

Sonic hedgehog (SHH) is a major intercellular signaling pathway involved in the orchestration of embryogenesis, including orofacial morphogenesis. The SHH pathway is sensitive to disruption, including both genetic predisposition and chemical-induced disruption at multiple molecular targets including antagonism of the SHH signal transducer Smoothened (SMO). Here we report the adverse outcome pathway (AOP) 460 describing the linkage between antagonism of the SMO receptor, a key intermediate in the hedgehog signaling, and orofacial clefts (OFCs).

The introduction of chirality to 2D inorganic nanomaterials holds promise for creating functional materials tailored for next-generation optically active systems and optoelectronic devices. Despite their potential, synthesizing chiral 2D inorganic nanomaterials remains challenging due to the complexity involved in incorporating chiral molecules. Existing methods, such as sonication-assisted exfoliation, primarily focus on layered compounds, limiting applicability.
