This study compared the influence of different polymerization methods (heat, auto-, and microwave energy), different curing processes (in the case of heat- and autopolymerized specimens), and length of storage of the polymerized specimens in distilled water at 37 degrees C on the residual methyl methacrylate (MMA) content in dental acrylic resin specimens. Residual MMA of 120 resin specimens were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography. For the heat-polymerized resins, the lowest residual MMA content was obtained when they were given a long-term terminal boil and then stored in the distilled water for at least 1 day. For the autopolymerized resins, the lowest residual MMA content was obtained when they were additionally cured in water at 60 degrees C and then stored in the distilled water at least 1 day. For the microwave-polymerized resins, the lowest residual MMA content was obtained when they were stored in the distilled water at least 1 month. The lowest overall residual MMA content was obtained from heat-polymerized specimens that were given a long-term terminal boil cure and then stored in the distilled water at least 1 day. Different polymerization methods and curing processes have different effects on residual MMA content. It is thus shown that storing a dental acrylic resin specimen in distilled water at 37 degrees C is a simple but effective method of reducing its residual MMA content.

Reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels has been shown to reduce the risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Statins are the foundation of LDL-C lowering therapy with other non-statin agents used in circumstances where goal LDL-C levels are not reached or owing to intolerance to adverse effects of statins. In 2003, the discovery of the role of the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) system in promoting elevated LDL-C levels led to new avenues of drug development to achieve target LDL-C.

The anti-polyelectrolyte effect, a characteristic unique to polymer chains containing zwitterions, was investigated for its impact on colloidal stabilization during emulsion polymerization and on the resulting polymer characteristics. The zwitterionic monomer (ZM) 3-[(3-Acrylamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]propane-1-sulfonate (A3361) was selected for the synthesis of 30 wt% emulsifier-free methyl methacrylate/n-butyl acrylate (MMA/n-BA) polymer latex. Three pH conditions were examined: neutral, where the zwitterionic chains are in a collapsed state, and acidic and basic, where these chains adopt an extended conformation, leading to the anti-polyelectrolyte effect.

In this study, we investigated the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals exposed to arsenic (As) and to identify potential biomarkers. The results revealed that the FRS was positively correlated with the MMA content and MMA% but negatively correlated with the DMA% and SMI, while the AIP index was positively correlated with the DMA, MMA, MMA%, iAs, tAs and As content. In addition, ADMA was positively correlated with MMA and MMA% and negatively correlated with the SMI and DMA%.

Article Synopsis
- Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) and propionic acidemia (PA) are rare illnesses that affect how the body processes certain substances, and they can make patients very sick.
- Researchers want to create a special questionnaire called the Methylmalonic Acidemia and Propionic Acidemia Questionnaire (MMAPAQ) that helps caregivers share important information about symptoms of these conditions.
- They interviewed caregivers and some patients to understand the main signs and symptoms of MMA and PA, and they found consistent feedback to help develop this new questionnaire.
