Purpose: To evaluate the effects of five different surface treatments on the bond strength between fiber posts and resin cement.
Methods: Fifty fiber posts were randomly divided into 5 groups for different surface treatments. Group A was treated with silane coupling agent (Clearfil Porcelain Bond Activator,Kuraray); Group B was treated with silane coupling agent and then coated with dentin bonding agent (Clearfil SE Bond,Kuraray); Group C was immersed in 30% H(2)O(2); Group D was immersed in 30 % H(2)O(2) and then treated with silane coupling agent; Group E received no surface treatment (control group). After bonding to resin cement, each group was then divided into 2 subgroups equally, while one group was stored in sodium chloride for 24 h at 37 degrees centigrade, and the other group was stored in sodium chloride for 24 h at 37 degrees centigrade and then subjected to thermal cycling for 10000 times. Microtensile bond strengths were tested and the data was statistically analyzed using SPSS17.0 software package.
Results: The microtensile bond strength before thermal cycling was (6.7±0.7) MPa for group A,(14.4±1.1) MPa for group B,(10.7±0.9) MPa for group C,(16.0±1.0) MPa for group D and (6.7±1.0) MPa for group E. After thermal cycling, the microtensile bond strength was (6.7±0.7) MPa for group A, (13.1±0.7) MPa for group B, (9.0±0.7) MPa for group C, (15.0±0.9) MPa for group D and (5.6±0.7) MPa for group E. The results showed that surface treatments had significant impact on the bond strength (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between group A and group E. Group D had the highest bond strength compared with the other groups. Microtensile bond strengths were significantly different before and after thermalcycling treatment in each group (P<0.05).
Conclusions: Thermocycling treatment decreases the bond strength of fiber posts to resin cement with these 5 surface treatments. Coupled with 30 % H(2)O(2) solution and silanization, the bonding strength of fiber posts to resin cement can increase significantly.

Background: Heredity and epigenetics affect the pathogenesis of microscopic polyangiitis (MPA). Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) polymorphisms (rs2304256C > A, rs280519A > G, and rs12720270G > A) may be potential protective factors against anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). Current research suggests that TYK2 is associated with various autoimmune diseases; however, no study has examined the relationship between TYK2 polymorphisms and AAV.

Objectives This study aimed to compare the shear bond strength of three resin cements (light-cured resin cement, pre-heated composite resin, and dual-cured self-adhesive resin cement) when bonding to lithium disilicate discs. Materials and methods Thirty-six discs made of lithium disilicate were fabricated and etched with 9.5% (HF), and 36 human premolars were collected and immersed in the acrylic molds, then randomly divided into three equal groups (n = 12): Group 1: light-cured resin cement, Group 2: pre-heated resin composite, and Group 3: dual-cured resin cement.

This study investigated the effects of varying concentrations of peanut shell flavonoids (PSFs) on the properties of peanut meal extract-tilapia skin protein composite films and their impact on cherry tomatoes preservation. Peanut meal alcohol extract (Pe) and tilapia skin protein (Co) were used as base materials, combined with PSFs to prepare composite films with excellent antioxidant properties. The results demonstrated that the optimized composite films exhibited superior mechanical properties, with a tensile strength of 9.

Lignin, a renewable and biodegradable polymer, offers a promising alternative to petroleum-based polyols for polyurethane elastomer synthesis. However, its complex structure poses challenges, such as poor dispersibility and reactivity. This study introduces a novel one-step and solvent-free method for synthesizing lignin-containing polyurethane elastomers (SF-LPUes-ONE) with a high lignin substitution rate of at least 30 wt%.

Purpose: This in-vitro study aimed to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) crowns on Corticobasal® implant abutments, evaluating the effects of two surface treatments and two luting agents.
Materials And Methods: Thirty Co-Cr crowns were fabricated using CAD-CAM technology with a direct metal laser sintering process and divided into three groups based on surface treatment: Group I (untreated), Group II (sandblasted with 50 μm Al₂O₃), and Group III (Er: YAG laser etching). Each group was further subdivided based on luting cement: Sub group A (GC Fuji Plus) and Sub group B (Rely X U200).
