Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate the cytotoxicity of different adhesive systems on human dental pulp cells, focusing on their adhesion, surface smoothness, and potential toxicity.
- Using a specific cell line, researchers applied various adhesive systems and MTA, assessing cell viability through trypan blue staining over three days.
- Results indicated a significant difference in cell viability on the first day, but similar biocompatibility between Futurabond M and MTA was observed, suggesting Futurabond M’s suitability for use in dental cavities with minimal hard tissue remaining.
Rationale And Objectives: Recent ICE3 trial of breast cryoablation for breast cancer demonstrated 98% success rate, similar to breast-conserving surgery. However, ICE3 and other published studies did not differentiate curative from palliative treatment nor define patient-specific treatment objectives. We sought to define treatment success of curative and palliative breast cryoablation for breast cancer in meeting procedure objectives and patient-specific treatment objectives.

Under anoxic conditions sulfate-reducing bacteria can transform SMX but the fate of the transformation products (TPs) and their prevalence in WWTPs remain unknown. Here, we report the anaerobic formation and aerobic degradation of SMX TPs.

SMX exists in both neutral and anionic forms, depending on the pH conditions. To discern the direct photodegradation of SMX at various pH levels and differentiate it from other transformation processes, we conducted phototransformation of SMX under simulated sunlight at pH 7 and 3, employing both transformation product (TP) and compound-specific stable isotope analyses.
