Plant-produced sulfoquinovose (SQ, 6-deoxy-6-sulfoglucose) is one of the most abundant sulfur-containing compounds in nature and its bacterial degradation plays an important role in the biogeochemical sulfur and carbon cycles and in all habitats where SQ is produced and degraded, particularly in gut microbiomes. Here, we report the enrichment and characterization of a strictly anaerobic SQ-degrading bacterial consortium that produces the C-sulfonate isethionate (ISE) as the major product but also the C-sulfonate 2,3-dihydroxypropanesulfonate (DHPS), with concomitant production of acetate and hydrogen (H). In the second step, the ISE was degraded completely to hydrogen sulfide (HS) when an additional electron donor (external H) was supplied to the consortium.

Aluminum-doped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are underexplored despite the broad applications of boron-containing PAHs in areas such as catalysis and optoelectronics. We disclose the donor-free, sterically unprotected 9-methyl-9-aluminafluorene (Me-AlFlu; 2), synthesized by heating a 9,9-dimethyl-9-stannafluorene and AlMe in hexanes. The compound is a dimer, (2), with -positioned Al substituents in the solid state.

Article Synopsis
  • 9,10-dihydro-9,10-dialuminaanthracenes (DAA-R) have not been fully explored due to difficulties in synthesizing them as ligand-free species.
  • The study successfully synthesizes DAA-Me from a reaction involving 1,2-(MeSn)CH and AlMe, producing volatile SnMe as the only byproduct.
  • The resulting DAA forms dimers and can interact with Lewis bases, leading to the formation of various adducts and valuable chemical synthons.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of intraoral scanners (IOSs) and implant libraries (ILs) on the trueness of digital impressions for the fabrication of implant-supported full-arch (FA) prostheses.

Methods: A stone cast of an edentulous maxilla with 6 implant analogues and cylindrical scanbodies (IPD ProCam®, Matarò, Barcelona, Spain) was probed using a coordinate measuring machine to capture a reference model (RM). The cast was mounted on a mannequin and scanned with 3 different IOSs (iTERO Element 5D Plus®, Align Technologies, San José, CA, USA; IS 3800®, Dexis, Quackertown, PN, USA; and i-700®, Medit, Seoul, South Korea).

Organo(chloro)silanes are essential chemicals, but the synthesis of compounds of the formula RSiCl with defined values of n is usually laborious. Herein, we first disclose that a [4+2]-cycloaddition between readily available ClSiC≡CSiCl and selected dienes provides facile access to vicinal bis(trichlorosilylated) benzenes and bicyclo[2.2.

Aim: The aim of this work is to present a new protocol for implant surgical planning which involves the combined use of artificial intelligence (AI) and mixed reality (MR).

Methods: This protocol involves the acquisition of three-dimensional (3D) patient data through intraoral scanning (IOS) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). These data are loaded into AI software which automatically segments and aligns the patient's 3D models.

Purpose: To report the clinical results obtained with fixed short-span (single crowns [SCs] and fixed partial prostheses [FPPs]) implant-supported hybrid composite restorations fabricated through tilting stereolithography (TSLA).

Methods: This retrospective clinical study included 85 patients who had been restored with 95 fixed short-span implant-supported hybrid composite (Irix Max®, DWS Systems) restorations (70 SCs and 25 FPPs up to three units) fabricated with TSLA. The full-digital model-free workflow was based on intraoral implant scanning, computer-assisted design (CAD) and 3D printing using TSLA (Dfab®, DWS Systems).

An air-stable B,N-containing dibenzobisanthene (8) was prepared in 29% yield by heating a 1,3,5-tri(azasilaanthryl)benzene (5) with BBr (180 °C). Under these conditions, the reaction does not stop after threefold SiMe/BBr exchange but proceeds further two rearrangement and two intramolecular C-H borylation steps. Some mechanistic details were unveiled by using smaller model systems and applying lower reaction temperatures.

Purpose: This in vitro study aimed to compare the accuracy of dental implant placement in partially edentulous maxillary models using a mixed reality-based dynamic navigation (MR-DN) system to conventional static computer-assisted implant surgery (s-CAIS) and a freehand (FH) method.

Methods: Forty-five partially edentulous models (with teeth missing in positions #15, #16 and #25) were assigned to three groups (15 per group). The same experienced operator performed the model surgeries using an MR-DN system (group 1), s-CAIS (group 2) and FH (group 3).

Two (BE)-[16]annulenes were prepared and fully characterized by experimental and quantum-chemical means (, E = N; , E = O). The 1,8-naphthalenediyl-bridged diborane(6) served as their common starting material, which was treated with [Al(NH)]Cl to form (91% yield) or with 1,8-naphthalenediboronic acid anhydride to form (93% yield). As a result, the heteroannulenes and are supported by four aromatic "clamps" and may also be viewed as NH- or O-bridged cyclic tetramers of BNB- or BOB-doped phenalenyls.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, progressively impairing cognitive abilities. While neuroimaging studies have revealed functional abnormalities in AD, how these relate to aberrant neuronal circuit mechanisms remains unclear. Using magnetoencephalography imaging we documented abnormal local neural synchrony patterns in patients with AD.

NBN- and BNB-doped phenalenyls are isoelectronic to phenalenyl anions and cations, respectively. They represent a pair of complementary molecules that have essentially identical structures but opposite properties as electron donors and acceptors. The NBN-phenalenyls 1-4 considered here were prepared from N,N'-dimethyl-1,8-diaminonaphthalene and readily available boron-containing building blocks (i.

Introduction: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD), are the most common four-repeat tauopathies (4RT), and both frequently occur with varying degree of Alzheimer's disease (AD) copathology. Intriguingly, patients with 4RT and patients with AD are at opposite ends of the wakefulness spectrum-AD showing reduced wakefulness and excessive sleepiness whereas 4RT showing decreased homeostatic sleep. The neural mechanisms underlying these distinct phenotypes in the comorbid condition of 4RT and AD are unknown.

A joint theoretical and experimental study on 32 endohedral silafullerane derivatives [X@Si Y ] (X=F-I; Y=F-I, H, Me, Et) and -[Cl@Si H Y ] (Y=F-I) is presented. First, we evaluated the structure-determining template effect of Cl in a systematic series of concave silapolyquinane model systems. Second, we investigated the X →Si interaction energy ( ) as a function of X and Y and found the largest values for electron-withdrawing exohedral substituents Y.

Purpose: To evaluate the trueness, precision, time efficiency, and cost of three different workflows for manufacturing single crowns (SCs).

Methods: A plaster model with a prepared tooth (#15) was scanned with an industrial scanner, and an SC was designed in computer-assisted-design (CAD) software. Ten SCs were printed with a hybrid composite (additive chairside) and a stereolithographic (SLA) printer (Dfab®), 10 SCs were milled in lithium disilicate (subtractive chairside) using a chairside milling unit (inLab MC XL®), and 10 SCs were milled in zirconia (lab-based) using a five-axis laboratory machine (DWX-52D®).

Mineral plastics are a promising class of bio-inspired materials that offer exceptional properties, like self-heal ability, stretchability in the hydrogel state, and high hardness, toughness, transparency, and non-flammability in the dry state along with reversible transformation into the hydrogel by addition of water. This enables easy reshape-ability and recycling like the solubility in mild acids to subsequently form mineral plastics again by base addition. However, current mineral plastics rely on petrochemistry, are hardly biodegradable, and thus persistent in nature.
