Purpose: The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the clinical performance of the restorative material Ceram.X in combination with an experimental one-bottle etch-and-rinse adhesive (K-0127).
Materials And Methods: A single operator placed two Class I or II restorations in molars of 43 patients. One molar was restored with Ceram.X/K-0127 (Dentsply DeTrey), the other one with Tetric Ceram/Syntac Classic (Ivoclar Vivadent). At baseline, after one, two, and four years the restorations were evaluated by a second dentist using modified Ryge's criteria. After four years, 27 patients were examined.
Results: In one patient, both restorations (Class II) had to be removed for root canal treatment due to pulpitis. Another Class II Ceram.X restoration (3.8%; 4.3% [1 of 23] of Class II restorations) showed score C with regard to wear/anatomical form. Thus, the cumulative failure rate was 7.4% in the Ceram.X group (8.3% of Class II restorations [2 of 24]) and 3.7% in the Tetric Ceram group (4.2% of Class II restorations [1 of 24]). Furthermore, three restorations (11.5%) in each group showed score B for anatomical form and marginal integrity. Slight marginal discoloration (score B) was found at five Ceram.X restorations (19.2%) and four Tetric Ceram restorations (15.4%). Two restorations (7.7%) in each group showed slight changes in color stability (score B). No sensitivity, recurrent caries, or changes in surface texture were recorded after four years. No statistically significant differences were found between the two restorative materials (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: After four years of clinical service, 92.6% of Ceram.X/K-0127 and 96.3% of Tetric Ceram/Syntac Classic restorations performed clinically well.

Interferon (IFN)-γ is a central regulator of cell-mediated immunity in human health and disease, but reduced expression of the target receptors impairs signaling activity and leads to immunotherapy resistance. Although intracellular expression of IFN-γ restores the signaling and downstream functions, we lack the tools to activate the gene instead of cell surface receptors. This paper introduces the design and characterization of an artificial transcription factor (ATF) protein that recognizes the gene with six zinc finger domains, which are dovetailed to a VP64 signaling domain that promotes gene transcription and translation.

Background: Double-strand breaks (DSBs) are primarily repaired through non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR). Given that DSBs are highly cytotoxic, PARP inhibitors (PARPi), a prominent class of anticancer drugs, are designed to target tumors with HR deficiency (HRD), such as those harboring BRCA mutations. However, many tumor cells acquire resistance to PARPi, often by restoring HR in HRD cells through the inactivation of NHEJ.

Microbial communities, which are crucial for ecosystem function and sustainability, are under environmental pressure. Using phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) as a measure of microbial biomass and community structure, the responses of microorganisms to environmental drivers were studied in bank soil and sediment alongside the Yangtze River in China. Thirty-eight sites were investigated over a length of 5500 kilometers, ranging from the plateau to the estuary.

Alternative Splicing (AS) plays crucial post-transcriptional gene function regulation roles in eukaryotic. Despite progress in studying AS at the RNA level, existing methods for AS event identification face challenges such as inefficiency, lengthy processing times, and limitations in capturing the complexity of RNA sequences. To overcome these challenges, we evaluated 10 AS detection tools and selected rMATS for dataset construction.
