Efficacy and safety of peroxide-based mouthrinse on whitening treatment: a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Objectives: This randomized controlled clinical trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of peroxide-based mouthrinse on whitening treatment. The patient's satisfaction and treatment longevity were also assessed.

Material And Methods: Participants (N=45) were randomly allocated to three different groups: WM (Whitening mouthrinse - 2.

Differences in Personality Between High-Ability and Average-Ability University Students.

Despite the growing body of research examining the personality traits of individuals with high abilities, little clarity exists about how they differ from the general population, especially within the university context. This study aimed to identify distinct personality traits by examining 268 high-ability university students alongside a matched average-ability group through a retrospective ex post facto design. Results revealed significant differences only in the trait of responsibility ( = 0.

Achieving stable nitrogen removal through mainstream partial nitrification, anammox and denitrification (SNAD) with a hybrid biofilm-granular reactor.

Simultaneous partial nitrification, anammox, and denitrification (SNAD) process offers a promising method for the effective removal of carbon and nitrogen from wastewater. However, ensuring stability is a challenge. This study investigated operational parameters such as hydraulic retention time (HRT) and biomass retention to stabilize SNAD operation, transitioning from synthetic to anaerobically pre-treated municipal wastewater (APMW) in an upflow hybrid biofilm-granular reactor (UHR).

Mannich Base Derived from Lawsone Inhibits PKM2 and Induces Neoplastic Cell Death.

Pyruvate kinase M2, a central regulator of cancer cell metabolism, has garnered significant attention as a promising target for disrupting the metabolic adaptability of tumor cells. This study explores the potential of the Mannich base derived from lawsone () to interfere with PKM2 enzymatic activity both in vitro and in silico. The antiproliferative potential of was tested using MTT assay in various cell lines, including SCC-9, Hep-G2, HT-29, B16-F10, and normal human gingival fibroblast (HGF).
