The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between fracture toughness (K(Ic)) and flexural strength (FS) in dental porcelains. Porcelains with different leucite contents and clinical indications were used (A, B, C, D, and E). K(Ic) was determined by surface crack in flexure method (SCF) and FS was determined by four-point-bending test. Microstructural characterization was also carried out. The leucite contents of porcelains A, B, C, D, and E were, respectively, 22, 22, 6, 15, and 0%. Materials with higher leucite content (A and B) presented significantly higher K(Ic) values compared to materials with lower leucite content (C and E). The Weibull moduli (m) of porcelains A and B were statistically higher than those of the other three materials. Regarding characteristic strength (sigma(0)), porcelains D and E showed similar values and statistically higher than those of the other materials which were statistically different from each other. According to the regression analysis, sigma(0) increased with the increase of K(Ic) until approximately 0.75 MPa m(1/2). After that, the increase in K(Ic) was accompanied by a decrease in sigma(0). However, the Weibull modulus increased with the increase in K(Ic), especially for values greater than 0.80 MPa m(1/2).

Brain accumulation of the branched-chain α-keto acids α-ketoisocaproic acid (KIC), α-keto-β-methylvaleric acid (KMV), and α-ketoisovaleric acid (KIV) occurs in maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), an inherited intoxicating metabolic disorder caused by defects of the branched-chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase complex. Patients commonly suffer life-threatening acute encephalopathy in the newborn period and develop chronic neurological sequelae of still undefined pathogenesis. Therefore, this work investigated the in vitro influence of pathological concentrations of KIC (5 mM), KMV (1 mM), and KIV (1 mM) on mitochondrial bioenergetics in the cerebral cortex of neonate (one-day-old) rats.

Neutral radicals have the potential to construct pure organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with internal quantum efficiencies reaching 100%. However, neutral radical luminescent materials with emission wavelengths in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window are rare. Herein, a serial of neutral donor-bridge-acceptor (D-π-A) type radical derivatives are investigated.

The frost heave failure mechanism of fractured rock mass is a complicated problem faced by engineering construction in cold area. In this study, low temperature frost heave test and post-freezing uniaxial compression test on sandstone samples with a water-filled flaw were carried out. The frost heave cracking mode, frost heave pressure, frost heave cracking criterion and the effect of frost heave-induced cracks on post-freezing uniaxial compression failure behavior under different flaw inclination angles (0 ~ 90°) and freezing temperatures (-10~-40 °C) were investigated.

Plasma levels of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) and their metabolites, branched-chain ketoacids (BCKA), are increased in insulin resistance. We previously showed that ketoisocaproic acid (KIC) suppressed insulin-stimulated glucose transport in L6 myotubes, especially in myotubes depleted of branched-chain ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKD), the enzyme that decarboxylates BCKA. This suggests that upregulating BCKD activity might improve insulin sensitivity.
