Objectives: This study was undertaken to gain a fuller picture of the interaction of resin-modified glass-ionomers with aqueous solutions in terms of water sorption, solution buffering and ion-release.
Methods: Two commercial materials were employed (Fuji II LC, GC; Photac Fil Quick, 3M ESPE). Light-cured cylindrical specimens (6mm highx4mm diameter) were prepared and stored for up to 6 weeks in either water (pH 5.3) or aqueous lactic acid (2.7), six specimens of each materials per storage medium. Solutions were changed at weekly intervals. Specimens were weighed at weeks 1, 2, 4 and 6; solution pH values measured, and Na, Ca, Sr, Al, P and Si ion release determined using ICP-OES. Results were analysed by ANOVA.
Results: Materials altered solution pH, and gained mass under all conditions. However, the net mass gain in lactic acid declined with time, suggesting that water sorption was partly offset by erosion under acid conditions. Na, Ca, Sr, Al, P and Si were detected in all solutions, with greater amounts in lactic acid than in water. Phosphorus release was much lower than found previously for conventional glass-ionomers.
Significance: Like their conventional counterparts, resin-modified glass-ionomers have been found to buffer their storage media and release ions. Hence the resin phase does not significantly alter these aspects of the interaction with aqueous solutions.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a key concern in clinical settings due to its high level of resistance to antibiotics, making infections given rise to this bacterium very problematic to treat. The rise of multidrug-resistant bacteria poses a danger to treatments and stresses the necessity to find new antimicrobial drugs. In a neoteric study, P.

Lactones play crucial roles in various fields, such as pharmaceuticals, food, and materials science, due to their unique structures and diverse biological activities. However, certain lactones are difficult to obtain in large quantities from natural sources, necessitating their synthesis to study their properties and potential. In this study, we investigated the photocatalytic conversion of D-fructose, a biomass-derived and naturally abundant sugar, using a TiO photocatalyst under light irradiation in ambient conditions.

Sake brewed using the kimoto-style exhibits high antioxidant capacity and is expected to inhibit the deterioration of sake quality due to oxidation. However, the antioxidant capacity of the added lactic acid bacteria has not been explored. We aimed to screen the lactic acid bacterium, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, with excellent brewing and antioxidant capacity, to develop sake with high antioxidant capacity.

Phenols are important functional compounds present in vineagr, however, their composition and formation pathways remain uncertain. Herein, non-targeted metabolomics and macrotranscriptomics methods were applied to identify phenols and analyze their formation network during the brewing process of Shanxi aged vinegar. A total of 82 phenols were detected from the raw material and the brewing process.
