Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) are susceptible to severe periodontal disease, due to immune alterations related to functional defects of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and monocytes. The adjunctive use of locally delivered antimicrobials has been proven to be beneficial, especially in areas where mechanical therapy might fail. This article describes the management of a patient with DS who had aggressive periodontitis. The treatment used a local drug delivery system with tetracycline fibers as an adjunct to scaling and root planing.

Engineered nanomaterials are widely used in water and wastewater treatment processes, and minimizing their adverse effects on biological treatment processes in wastewater treatment plants has become the primary focus. In this study, activated carbon fiber (ACF)-loaded manganese oxide nanomaterials (MnOx@ACF) were synthesized. A small-scale sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was constructed to simulate the synergistic degradation of pollutants by nanomaterials and microorganisms and the effects of nanomaterials on the structure of the microbial community in a wastewater treatment plant.

A novel semiconductor photocatalyst was developed using bamboo cellulose fibers (BCFs) embedded with nano-AgBr (AgBr@BCFs) via a simple and rapid method. BCFs prevented the agglomeration of AgBr and provided numerous active reaction sites as a dispersant and structural support. The photocatalytic activity of AgBr@BCFs in removing organic pollutants was investigated and the endogenous factors leading to the high activity were analyzed through a combination of a series of experiments, characterizations and theoretical calculations.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers compared the effectiveness of a 940 nm diode laser and a solution mix called MTAD in eliminating bacteria from root canals.
- Forty human lower premolar teeth were used, divided into four groups to test different treatments, including a control group using sodium hypochlorite.
- The results showed that the sodium hypochlorite group achieved the highest bacterial reduction (99.99%), followed closely by MTAD and the diode laser, with statistically significant differences noted among all treatment groups.

Heterogeneous composite catalysts have gained significant attention in recent years due to their cleanliness, high efficiency, and stable performance. However, the difficulty of recovery and high cost have always limited the development of heterogeneous composite catalysts. Herein, flexible lignin-based carbon fiber (LCF) membranes with easy recovery and low cost were prepared by electrospinning and carbonization using rice straw lignin waste and polyacrylonitrile (PAN).
