Evaluating the tightness of proximal contact between natural tooth and adjacent implant supported prosthesis.

The changes in interproximal contact between implant supported prosthesis (ISP) and adjacent natural tooth is of interest to dentists. Hence, we evaluated the tightness of proximal contact (PCT) between adjacent natural tooth and ISP by applying a digital force gauge spanning over a period of 1.5 year with a regular follow-up of 3, 6, and 12 months.

Geophysical characterization of Saraswati River palaeochannel in parts of Yamuna Nagar and Kurukshetra districts of Haryana, India.

Palaeochannels are remnants of rivers or stream channels filled with younger sediments over the period of time. In ancient times, these rivers/channels were thriving in phenomenal conditions, but due to frequent tectonic activities, they lost the direction of their original path and were gradually either lost or buried under thick beds of younger alluvium. Palaeochannels act as reservoirs for fresh groundwater since they are made up of coarser sediments and were formerly flowing rivers.

Over the past three decades, this led to a major threat in the persistence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. is a Gram-negative bacterium, a common causative agent of motile bacterial septicemia in fisheries.

To Quench or Not: Extending a β-Carboline Fluorophore for TNT Detection in Aqueous Media via Simultaneous ESPT Destabilization and AIE.

Molecules relying on the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer/excited-state proton transfer (ESIPT/ESPT) mechanism are widely used in material science. In the current work, a known β-carboline-based probe TrySy was used to selectively detect explosive trinitrotoluene (TNT) in water. Compared to conventional TNT sensing, which relies mainly on the quenching of the fluorescence signal, TrySy could perform nanomolar detection of TNT via ESPT destabilization and AIE, with a significant fluorescence output.

Role of hypoxia and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in the formation and maintenance of oral cancer stem cells in oral squamous cell carcinomas and metastatic lymph node: An immunohistochemical analysis.

Background: Inspite of having advanced treatment modalities the overall survival rate in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains poor. This is considered to be mainly due to local recurrence and distant metastasis. Various studies have concentrated on the role of oral cancer stem cells (OCSCs) in the progression and metastasis of OSCC.

Role of MMP1 and MMP10 in local invasion and distant metastasis in different levels of oral squamous cell carcinoma - A immunohistochemical comparative study.

Background: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are basically a part of a large family of proteolytic enzymes. They play an important role in degrading extracellular matrix and basement membrane, which is a basic mechanism in local invasion and tumour metastasis. The aim of this study was to evaluate immunohistochemically the expression of MMP1 and MMP10 in tumour invasion locally and at distant levels, including lymph nodes at different levels in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Nurture outpaces nature: fostering with an attentive mother alters social dominance in a mouse model of stress sensitivity.

Maternal care is critical for epigenetic programming during postnatal brain development. Stress is recognized as a critical factor that may affect maternal behavior, yet owing to high heterogeneity in stress response, its impact varies among individuals. We aimed here to understand the connection between inborn stress vulnerability, maternal care, and early epigenetic programming using mouse populations that exhibit opposite poles of the behavioral spectrum (social dominance [Dom] and submissiveness [Sub]) and differential response to stress.

Computational insight towards the binding affinity and participation of aliphatic unsaturated sidearms of aza-18-crown-6 extractants for Sr encapsulation in different solvent medium.

Context: Macrocyclic extractants capture cations in solution phase; therefore, their structures and energetics in different solvents are worth investigating. In this computational research work, the optimized geometry of three aza-18-crown-6 extractants (1-3) has been obtained in suitable solvent mediums to work out the influence of the solvation on their binding affinity with Sr. The designed macrocyclic extractants are remarkable as the N-substituted side chain bears the rarely examined simple aliphatic unsaturated double and triple bond.

Dual targeted 2-Benzylideneindanone pendant hydroxamic acid group exhibits selective HDAC6 inhibition along with tubulin stabilization effect.

Abnormal epigenetics has been recognised as an early event in tumour progression and aberrant acetylation of lysine in particular has been understood in tumorigenesis. Therefore, it has become an attractive target for anticancer drug development. However, HDAC inhibitors have limited success due to toxicity and drug resistance concerns.

Visible light sensing of ions by a cyanoquinoxaline 1,4-dioxide-based probe and its applications.

Towards this end, we have shown the application of quinoxaline-1,4-dioxide bioactive molecules for the first time as potential probes for cations and anions. The molecule (ACQ) used in this study is soluble in water and provides specific colour output upon interaction with copper and palladium ions.

Huanglongbing Pandemic: Current Challenges and Emerging Management Strategies.

Huanglongbing (HLB, aka citrus greening), one of the most devastating diseases of citrus, has wreaked havoc on the global citrus industry in recent decades. The culprit behind such a gloomy scenario is the phloem-limited bacteria " Liberibacter asiaticus" (Las), which are transmitted via psyllid. To date, there are no effective long-termcommercialized control measures for HLB, making it increasingly difficult to prevent the disease spread.

The development of sustainable IoT E-waste management guideline for households.

The introduction of new technology, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), entails a growth in digital devices, which could ultimately result in a high amount of electronic trash (e-waste) production if they are not appropriately managed. Apart from that, the regulation on possible "IoT E-waste" generation is yet to be regulated, probably due to the new development and implementation of IoT globally. Hence, this paper proposed a Sustainable IoT E-waste Management guideline for households.
