Objectives: To evaluate the use of two alternative modes of application (double-application and placement of a hydrophobic resin coat) compared with the manufacturers' directions on the microtensile bond strength (microTBS) of one-step, self-etch systems to enamel and dentin.
Materials And Methods: Resin composite buildups were bonded to the buccal and lingual ground enamel surfaces and occlusal dentin of third molars using the following adhesives: Xeno III (XE), GBond (GB), Adper Prompt L-Pop (AD) and Clearfil SE Bond (CSE) as the control. The adhesive systems were applied: (1) following the manufacturer's directions (MD), (2) with double-application (DA) or with (3) additional placement of a hydrophobic resin layer (HR) after following the manufacturer's directions. After storage in water (24 hours/37 degrees C), the bonded specimens were sectioned into sticks (0.8 mm2) that were tested until failure at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/minute. Data from each substrate were subjected to two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (alpha = 0.05).
Results: The interaction Adhesive vs. Application mode was statistically significant (p < 0.05) for both substrates. In dentin, XE and GB achieved high microTBS in the HR group (p < 0.05). For AD, the highest microTBS were observed in the DA group (p < 0.05). For enamel, similar microTBS was observed for XE and GB among the three modes of application, while the highest pTBS of AD was observed in the HR group.
Conclusion: The effects of using the double-application and placement of a hydrophobic resin coat on microtensile dentin-bond strength values seem to be effective; however, these techniques in enamel were adhesive-dependent.

Visual Performance Correlation with Corneal Aberrometric Profile and Pupil Size After Implantation of a Trifocal Hydrophobic IOL.

Département de Recherche Clinique, Institut Ophtalmologique de l'Ouest (IOO) Jules Verne, Nantes, France.
Purpose: To evaluate clinical outcomes obtained after cataract surgery involving the implantation of a trifocal hydrophobic intraocular lens (IOL) and to determine if pupil size and the corneal aberrometric profile correlate to visual acuity at different distances.
Methods: 49 patients (98 eyes) underwent bilateral cataract surgery with the placement of FineVision HP IOLs for presbyopia and were assessed at 1- and 3- to 6-months post-surgery. Postoperatively, refraction, monocular and binocular uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA and CDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) and the binocular defocus curve were measured.
Positive Charge-Concentrated Dimeric Lipopeptides with Enhanced Protease Resistance: A Potential Solution for Systemic Bacterial Infections.
J Med Chem
January 2025
College of Animal Science and Technology, Northeast Agricultural University, Harbin 150030, People's Republic of China.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) show potential as antibiotic alternatives for bacterial infections; nevertheless, the susceptibility to proteases limits their broader utilization. This study developed engineered lipopeptides using antienzymolysis modifications and cysteine (Cys)-dimerization strategy. As the key parameters for the functioning of AMPs, hydrophobicity and positive charges were concentrated within the peptide sequence by adjusting the intermolecular disulfide bond placement to study their distribution effects.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated visual outcomes and patient satisfaction up to 3 months after cataract surgery using hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs).
- It included 28 patients and found excellent distance and intermediate visual acuity, with 98% of patients achieving good intermediate vision (20/25 or better).
- The results demonstrated high levels of patient satisfaction (88%) and successful lens delivery by surgeons (89% success rate), indicating the effectiveness of the Clareon IOL and Monarch IV system for cataract surgery.
A comparative quantitative assessment of 3D-printed PEKK and PEEK thin meshes in customized alveolar bone augmentation.
BMC Oral Health
October 2024
Department of Stomatology, Beijing Haidian Hospital, Beijing, 100080, China.
Objective: Customized nonabsorbable membranes are widely used in severe alveolar bone defects and provide sufficient and precise regenerated bone tissue for subsequent dental implant placement. Although 3D-printed polyetheretherketone (PEEK) meshes have confirmed successful use in clinical cases, the performance of a PEEK mesh is not satisfactory. Compared with PEEK, polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) has better mechanical and processing properties.
