Fluorapatite glass-ceramics (FGC) have been widely used in dental ceramics due to their excellent aesthetic properties and biocompatibility. In recent years, new synthesis methods, forming technologies, and the continuous optimization of performance attributes have driven the application of FGC in dental veneers, coatings, composites, and other restorations. This review summarizes the current research and applications of this material in the dental field and looks forward to its future optimization directions.

Wound healing in chronic diabetic patients remains challenging due to the multiple types of cellular dysfunction and the impairment of multidimensional microenvironments. The physical signals of structural anisotropy offer significant potential for orchestrating multicellular regulation through physical contact and cellular mechanosensing pathways, irrespective of cell type. In this study, we developed a highly oriented anisotropic nanofiber hydrogel designed to provide directional guidance for cellular extension and cytoskeletal organization, thereby achieving pronounced multicellular modulation, including shape-induced polarization of macrophages, morphogenetic maturation of Schwann cells, oriented extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition by fibroblasts, and enhanced vascularization by endothelial cells.

The hetero photooxidation of sulfide under aqueous conditions is of great importance in the green synthesis of sulfoxide. This process requires a type of solid photocatalyst with the properties of high porosity and water stability, as well as photosensitivity. Herein, a stable Ir-Zr-MOF material (compound 1) with high porosity is assembled from two linear linkers of a 2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid-Ir(III) complex (Irphen) and 4,4'-stilbenedicarboxylic acid (HSDC), and a Zr cluster.

Glioma is the leading cancer of the central nervous system (CNS). The efficacy of glioma treatment is significantly hindered by the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-brain tumour barrier (BBTB), which prevent most drugs from entering the brain and tumours. Hence, we established a novel drug delivery nanosystem of brain tumour-targeting that could self-assemble the method using an amphiphilic Zein protein isolated from corn.

The therapeutic efficacy of bone tumor treatment is primarily limited by inadequate tumor resection, resulting in recurrence and metastasis, as well as the deep location of tumors. Herein, an injectable doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded magnetic alginate hydrogel (DOX@MAH) was developed to evaluate the efficacy of an alternating magnetic field (AMF)-responsive, chemothermal synergistic therapy for multimodality treatment of bone tumors. The prepared hydrogel exhibits a superior drug-loading capacity and a continuous DOX release.

Nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) have been widely accepted as a promising strategy for peripheral nerve regeneration. Fabricating ideal NGCs with good biocompatibility, biodegradability, permeability, appropriate mechanical properties (space maintenance, suturing performance, etc.), and oriented topographic cues is still current research focus.

The rapid development of computers and robots has seen robotic minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) gradually enter the public's vision. RMIS can effectively eliminate the hand vibrations of surgeons and further reduce wounds and bleeding. However, suitable RMIS and virtual reality-based digital-twin surgery trainers are still in the early stages of development.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the immune responses induced by microwave ablation (MWA), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and cryoablation (CRYO) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and identify differences in immune responses and the timing of immune changes.

Materials And Methods: A bilateral subcutaneous model was established in C57 mice, and the successfully modeled mice were divided into the microwave (n = 15), radiofrequency (n = 15), CRYO (n = 15), control (n = 9), and blank groups (n = 3). Mice in the control group were dissected before ablation, whereas mice in the three ablation groups underwent ultrasound-guided ablation of one axillary tumor.

An artificial periosteum has emerged as an encouraging candidate for bone defect repair. Currently, it remains a great challenge to develop a multifaceted biomimetic periosteum integrating multifunctional features of bioactivities and unique mechanical properties. Here, we successfully fabricated an artificial periosteum (AP) composed of hierarchically assembled Mg-doped mineralized collagen microfibrils with a biomimetically rotated lamellar structure a "multiscale cascade regulation" strategy combining multiple techniques such as molecular self-assembly, electrospinning, and pressure-driven fusion from molecular to macroscopic levels.

A new nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) named MC@Col containing Type I collagen (Col) and mineralized collagen (MC) was developed, enhancing mechanical and degradation behavior. The physicochemical properties, the mechanical properties and degradation behavior were all evaluated. The adhesion and proliferation of Schwann cells (SCs) were observed.

  • Sarcopenia, a significant disorder in older adults, causes a gradual decline in muscle function, but exercise can help prevent or slow its development.
  • A study using 21-month-old zebrafish showed that they experience reduced swimming ability, muscle deterioration, and increased oxidative stress, making them a useful model for studying sarcopenia.
  • After eight weeks of exercise, the zebrafish displayed improvements, with changes in mitochondrial function linked to the activation of certain cellular pathways, suggesting new targets for treating age-related sarcopenia through exercise.

Herein, we aimed to establish an aerobic exercise-induced physiological myocardial hypertrophy zebrafish (Danio rerio) model and to explore the underlying molecular mechanism. After 4 weeks of aerobic exercise, the AMR and U of the zebrafish increased and the hearts were enlarged, with thickened myocardium, an increased number of myofilament attachment points in the Z-line, and increased compaction of mitochondrial cristae. We also found that the mTOR signaling pathway, angiogenesis, mitochondrial fusion, and fission event, and mitochondrial autophagy were associated with the adaptive changes in the heart during training.

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a lethal disease with extremely high mortality. Although surgical resection is the optimal therapeutic approach for PC, about 30%-40% of those patients are not candidates for surgical resection when diagnosed. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy also could not claim a desirable effect on PC.

A fiber-optic sensing system based on two types of ultra-weak fiber Bragg gratings (UWFBG) for simultaneous temperature and vibration sensing was proposed. Narrowband and broadband UWFBGs are alternately written into an optical fiber with equal spacing. Distributed temperature sensing is realized by demodulating the wavelength shift of the narrowband UWFBG, while distributed vibration sensing is achieved by detecting phase variation between two adjacent broadband UWFBG interference pulses.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to study the clinical outcomes of different types of magnetic resonance (MR)-guided ablation for the treatment of liver tumors by performing a systematic review and pooled analysis.

Materials And Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed for clinical trials published from January 1997 to October 2019 in PubMed, the Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. Pooled analyses were performed to obtain the complete ablation (CA), complication, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) rates.

The injection of carbon dioxide (CO) in low-permeable reservoirs can not only mitigate the greenhouse effect on the environment, but also enhance oil and gas recovery (EOR). For numerical simulation work of this process, relative permeability can help predict the capacity for the flow of CO throughout the life of the reservoir, and reflect the changes induced by the injected CO. In this paper, the experimental methods and empirical correlations to determine relative permeability are reviewed and discussed.
