Systematic reviews about the internal and marginal misfits of fixed prostheses have identified a limited number of clinical studies, suggesting the need for further research on the subject. Although the replica technique has been described as suitable for this purpose, few studies have validated it.
The purpose of this invitro study was to compare the ability of a nondestructive replica technique and a destructive cementation technique to assess internal and marginal misfits of zirconia copings, considering current materials and designs.
Twelve anatomic prefabricated abutments (Neodent) were used to manufacture zirconia copings following the Ceramill (Amann Girrbach AG) (n=6) and Lava (3M ESPE) (n=6) systems. Replications of the cementation line were obtained with polyvinyl siloxane for the replica technique, and the copings were then cemented and sectioned to obtain 5 surfaces (buccal, palatal, mesial, distal, and incisal) and the linear and angle regions (internal axiogingival and axioincisal angles).ifferences were found between the 2 techniques for all locations and systems (P>.05).
Within the limitations of this invitro study, both techniques presented the same ability to assess the internal and marginal misfits when the location and overall mean averages were evaluated (P>.05).
.05).Salicornia neei halophyte extends in Argentina seashores. To envisage potential applications, cell wall sequential extraction performed on dry plant yielded 1.1, 2.4, 0.3 and 0.9% of pectin fractions respectively extracted by room temperature water, 90 °C-water, CDTA and Na2CO3. They contained 21-33% uronic acids (UA) with low degree of methylation and 0.5-1.2 M ratios of neutral sugars to UA. High arabinose level suggests that long arabinan side-chains maintain cell wall flexibility in water deficit. Fractions also contained 10-36% of proteins. The KOH-soluble fractions (4.3%) were mainly arabinoxylans. At 2.0% w/v, pectin fractions developed “weak gel”-type networks with Ca2+, while arabinoxylans generated “dilute solutions”. Cellulose (28%) and lignin (45.1%) were the main biopolymers in the final residue, which showed low water swelling capacity (3.6 mL/g) due to lignin, increasing when arabinoxylans were also present. Phenolics (9.8%) were mainly water-extractable. Salicornia is a source of biopolymers and antioxidants potentially useful for food applications.This work presents an on-line fluorescence method for the allura red (AR) determination. The method is based on the fluorescence quenching of dots of MoS2 because of their interaction with the non-fluorescence dye. MoS2-dots were synthetized and characterized by spectroscopic techniques and High Resolution Transmission Electronic Microscopy (HR-TEM). The simultaneous injection of the nanomaterial and the dye in a flow injection analysis system allows the determination of allura red at 1.7 × 10-6 M concentration level with a very good accuracy and precision (Er minor than 10% and RSD lower than 8%) and a sampling frequency of 180 samples per hour. Moreover, the interaction fluorophore-quencher results a dynamic inhibition mechanism. The proposed methodology was applied to the AR analysis in soft beverages and powders for gelatine preparation. Colourant concentrations of 63 ± 2 mg/L (n = 3) and 0.30 ± 0.01 mg/g (n = 3) were found, respectively. These results were validated by high performance liquid chromatography technique.
This study aimed at exploring the application of trauma time axis management in the treatment of severe trauma patients by using the Medicalsystem trauma system.
We performed a retrospective cohort study involving patients with severe trauma. Patients who were admitted before the application of the Medicalsystem trauma system were divided into before system group; patients who were admitted after the application of the system were divided into after system group. Comparison was made between the two groups. For normally distributed data, means were reported along with standard deviation, and comparisons were made using the independent samples t test. Categorical data were compared using the Chi-square test. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare nonparametric variables.
There were 528 patients admitted to the study during the study period. There was no significant statistical difference in the time from the start of trauma team to arrive at the resuscitation room between the two groups. The time froion.Toxin/antitoxin (TA) systems are present in nearly all bacterial and archaeal strains and consist of a toxin that reduces growth and an antitoxin that masks toxin activity. Currently there are six primary classes for TA systems based on the nature of the antitoxin and the way that the antitoxin inactivates the toxin. Here we show that there now are at least three additional and distinct TA systems in which the antitoxin is an enzyme and the cognate toxin is the direct target of the antitoxin Hha/TomB (antitoxin oxidizes Cys18 of the toxin), TglT/TakA (antitoxin phosphorylates Ser78 of the toxin), and HepT/MntA (antitoxin adds three AMPs to Tyr104 of the toxin). Thus, we suggest the type VII TA system should be used to designate those TA systems in which the enzyme antitoxin chemically modifies the toxin post-translationally to neutralize it. Defining the type VII TA system using this specific criterion will aid researchers in classifying newly discovered TA systems as well as refine the framework for recognizing the diverse biochemical functions in TA systems.
Surgical maneuvers for esophageal anastomosis in difficult cases of Gross type “C” esophageal atresia (EA) are challenging. The methods of early primary anastomosis are technically difficult and staged surgeries expose the child to repeated general anesthesia with problems of nursing care. We describe a simple method of partial disconnection of the lower esophagus from the fistula followed by approximation by an atraumatic microvascular clamp. The suitability of this method and its outcomes are discussed.
It was a prospective observational study that included 32 patients of type “C” EA between January 2014 and December 2016. Babies with birth weight more than 2kg without cyanotic heart defects and requirement of intensive care were included. An early primary anastomosis using this technique was tried in all. selleck kinase inhibitor A cervical esophagostomy with feeding gastrostomy was done where it was not possible. Analysis of the gap and post operative outcomes i.e. gastroesophageal reflux (GER), stricture, tracheomalacia, dysmotility, recurrence and survival were analyzed.
