Management strategies of dental anxiety and uncooperative behaviors in children with Autism spectrum disorder.

Background: Children with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was frequently experienced dental anxiety and uncooperative behaviors during dental treatment. Oral health care was necessary because of the poor oral hygiene and prevalent dental diseases in this population.

Aim: In this systematic review, we evaluated the effectiveness and feasibility for pediatric dentist to manage the dental anxiety in children with ASD.

LiSe: A High Ionic Conductivity Interface to Inhibit the Growth of Lithium Dendrites in Garnet Solid Electrolytes.

All-solid-state Li metal batteries (ASSLBs) are currently regarded as one of the most promising next-generation energy storage technologies because of their great potential in realizing both high energy density and safety. However, the development of high performance ASSLBs is still restricted by the large interfacial resistance and Li dendrite propagation within solid electrolytes. Herein, a simple and efficient interfacial modification strategy is proposed to improve the interfacial contact between Li and LiLaZrTaO (LLZTO) by introducing a uniform and thin LiSe buffer layer.

Design, synthesis and evaluation of d-amino acid-containing peptidomimetics targeting the polo-box domain of polo-like kinase 1.

A series of d-amino acid-containing peptidomimetics were designed, synthesized as novel polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) polo-box domain (PBD) inhibitors based on the reported peptide Plk1 PBD inhibitor. Their inhibitory activity to Plk1, Plk2, and Plk3 PBD were evaluated using our fluorescence polarization (FP) assay. Compound 18 bound to Plk1 PBD with IC of 0.

Bone Regeneration of Canine Peri-implant Defects Using Cell Sheets of Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Platelet-Rich Fibrin Membranes.

Purpose: Insufficient bone volume compromises the success rate and osseointegration of immediate implantation. The objective of the present study was to engineer bone tissue by using adipose-derived stem cell (ASC) sheets and autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) to enhance new bone formation and osseointegration around dental implants.

Material And Methods: The proliferation and osteogenic potential of ASCs treated with autologous PRF were evaluated with CCK-8 assays, alkaline phosphatase staining, and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.

Objective: To investigate the effects of bisphosphonates on autophagy induced by high-glucose in rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).

Methods: BMSCs were isolated and cultured , identified by undergoing osteogenic/chondrogenic/adipogenic differentiation, the concentration of bisphosphonates was determined by CCK-8 method. The cells were cultured in normal glucose (5.

[Effects of concentrated growth factors on proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in Beagle adipose-derived stem cells].

To investigate the effect of concentrated growth factor (CGF) on proliferation and differentiation in Beagle adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs).
 Methods: ADSCs were isolated from adipose tissue of healthy Beagles and cultured. The multi-directional differentiation potential of ADSCs was identified.

Neuritin Attenuates Neuronal Apoptosis Mediated by Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress In Vitro.

Neuritin is an extracellular glycophosphatidylinositol-linked protein that promotes neuronal survival, differentiation, function, and repair, but the exact mechanism of this neuroprotective effect remains unclear. Meanwhile, endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) induced apoptosis is attracting increased attention. In this work, we hypothesized that neuritin inhibited ERS to protect cortical neurons.

Discrete Event Simulation Models for CT Examination Queuing in West China Hospital.

In CT examination, the emergency patients (EPs) have highest priorities in the queuing system and thus the general patients (GPs) have to wait for a long time. This leads to a low degree of satisfaction of the whole patients. The aim of this study is to improve the patients' satisfaction by designing new queuing strategies for CT examination.

STIP is a critical nuclear scaffolding protein linking USP7 to p53-Mdm2 pathway regulation.

The ubiquitin-specific protease USP7 stabilizes both Mdm2 and p53 by removing ubiquitins, hence playing an important enzymatic role in the p53-Mdm2 pathway. However, it is poorly understood how USP7 executes its dual-stabilization effect on Mdm2 and p53 in cellular context. Here, we report that STIP is a novel macromolecular scaffold that links USP7 to the p53-Mdm2 pathway.

The establishment and external validation of NIR qualitative analysis model for waste polyester-cotton blend fabrics.

A series of 354 polyester-cotton blend fabrics were studied by the near-infrared spectra (NIRS) technology, and a NIR qualitative analysis model for different spectral characteristics was established by partial least squares (PLS) method combined with qualitative identification coefficient. There were two types of spectrum for dying polyester-cotton blend fabrics: normal spectrum and slash spectrum. The slash spectrum loses its spectral characteristics, which are effected by the samples' dyes, pigments, matting agents and other chemical additives.

Aptamer TY04 inhibits the growth of multiple myeloma cells via cell cycle arrest.

The aptamer TY04 is a single-stranded DNA. However, its biological function has not been elucidated. Here, we found that TY04 specifically bound to multiple myeloma cells MM.

Growth of columnar hydrogel colloidal crystals in water-organic solvent mixture.

A novel emulsion method has been demonstrated to grow columnar hydrogel colloidal crystals by mixing an aqueous suspension of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide-co-allylamine microgels with organic solvent, driven by the coalescence of micelles consisting of organic oil droplets coated by many microgels. This method leads to microgel colloidal crystals of several centimeters growing from the top to the bottom along the gravity direction. Both temperature and polymer concentration play critical roles for the formation of columnar crystals.

Crystallization kinetics of thermosensitive colloids probed by transmission spectroscopy.

The kinetics of crystallization of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) particles has been investigated using the UV-visible transmission spectroscopy. Since the particle size decreases with the increase in temperature, microgel dispersions of different volume fractions have been obtained by varying the temperature of a single sample. It is found that the rates of the change in crystallinity, the average crystallite size, and the number density of crystallites at the most rapid stage over a certain time interval at various temperatures can be described by the power-law relations.
