[Estimation of biomechanical behavior in deep wedge-shaped defects restored by different methods under static and dynamic loads: a 3D finite analysis].

Purpose: To analyze the biomechanical properties of the right mandibular second premolar with deep wedge-shaped defects under static and dynamic loads by finite element method, so as to select appropriate repair method in clinic.

Methods: To establish the deep wedge-shaped defect model of the right mandibular second premolar, the unrepaired model after root canal treatment was used as the control group, and resin filling (group A), resin filling after post restoration (group B), crown restoration after resin filling (group C), post and crown restoration after resin filling (group D) were used as the experimental groups. According to different materials, group B and group D were further divided into fiber post (B1, D1) group and pure Ti post (B2, D2) group.

Mechanical, Hydrophobic, and Barrier Properties of Nanocomposites of Modified Polypropylene Reinforced with Low-Content Attapulgite.

Attapulgite (ATT) has never been used as a barrier additive in polypropylene (PP). As a filler, ATT should be added in high content to PP. However, that would result in increased costs.

Spotted Fever Group Infecting Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae), Yak (), and Tibetan Sheep () in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau Area, China.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Area (QTPA) has a complex natural ecosystem, causing a greatly increased risk of spreading various tick-borne diseases including rickettsial infections, which are regarded as one of the oldest known vector-borne zoonoses. However, the information of one of its pathogen, spotted fever group (SFG ), is limited in tick vectors and animals in this area. Therefore, this study focused on the investigation of SFG in tick vectors, yaks (), and Tibetan sheep () in the QTPA.

Bilateral cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistula with initial ocular symptom: A case report.

Rationale: Cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistula (CSDAVF) is a rare intracranial vascular malformation. Because of its complicated clinical manifestations, it is easy to miss or misdiagnose CSDAVF.

Patient Concerns: A 42-year-old female had chief complaint that the right eyeball had conjunctival congestion for half a year.

UV-Resistant and Thermally Stable Superhydrophobic CeO Nanotubes with High Water Adhesion.

A novel type of sticky superhydrophobic cerium dioxide (CeO ) nanotube material is prepared by hydrothermal treatment without any chemical modification. A water droplet on the material surface shows a static water contact angle of about 157° but the water droplet is pinned on the material surface even when the material surface is turned upside down. Interestingly, the as-prepared CeO nanotube material displays durable superhydrophobicity and enhanced adhesion to water under ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation.

Correlation between Serum Calcineurin Activity and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Hypertensive Patients and Its Clinical Significance.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between calcineurin (CaN) and hypertension with left ventricular hypertrophy (HLVH) and to evaluate its potential clinical significance.

Design: The study involved 160 patients diagnosed with hypertension and 42 controls. Based on the exclusion criteria, 42 were not eligible for this study.

[Effects of different LED light qualities on photosynthetic characteristics, fruit production and quality of strawberry].

Taking 'Miaoxiang No.7' strawberry as material, full red light, full blue light, full yellow light, full white light, red/blue/yellow (7/2/1), red/blue (7/2) light generated by light emitting diode (LED) was applied to accurately modulate with white light generated as control. The indicators of photosynthetic and fluorescence parameters, pigment content, fruit production and quality, root activity were investigated.

[Effect of cadmium stress on physiological characteristics of garlic seedlings and the alleviation effects of exogenous calcium].

In the experiment, the effects of exogenous cadmium (Cd2+) and calcium (Ca2+) in nutrient solution on growth, photosynthetic characteristics, enzymes activities, main mineral elements absorption of garlic seedlings were studied. The results showed that cadmium could obviously inhibit the growth of garlic seedlings, decrease the pigment contents and photosynthetic parameters (P(n), E, g(s)) of leaves, reduced the enzymes (SOD, POD, CAT) activities and increase the MDA content of leaves, and also could reduce the N, P, K, Ca, Mg contents and increase the Cd content of roots. The growth was promoted after adding exogenous calcium to garlic seedlings under cadmium stress, which reflected that the morphological indexes were increased at first and then decreased with the increase of exogenous calcium concentrations, and were maximized when the exogenous calcium was 2 or 3 mmol x L(-1).

Green tea polyphenol epigallocatechin-3-gallate enhance glycogen synthesis and inhibit lipogenesis in hepatocytes.

The beneficial effects of green tea polyphenols (GTP) against metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes by suppressing appetite and nutrient absorption have been well reported. However the direct effects and mechanisms of GTP on glucose and lipid metabolism remain to be elucidated. Since the liver is an important organ involved in glucose and lipid metabolism, we examined the effects and mechanisms of GTP on glycogen synthesis and lipogenesis in HepG2 cells.

In order to investigate the distribution characteristics of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and black carbon (BC) in road dusts in typical cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Wuhan in China and Kolcata in India, samples were collected in urban roads during Dec., 2007 to Feb., 2009.

[Removing nitrate-nitrogen from wastewater using rotten wood as carbon source].

In this research, COD release of rotten wood was studied and rotten wood was investigated as the sole carbon source as well as biofilm carrier to remove nitrate from wastewater in up-flow laboratory reactor. The experimental results indicated that rotten wood could release carbon source continuously. COD released of rotten wood inoculated with humus was 2.

Immunohistochemical detection of aquaporin expression in eutopic and ectopic endometria from women with endometriomas.
