Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare the 5-year clinical performance in posterior restorations of three restorative systems including a low-shrinkage system and a methacrylate-based composite combined either with an etch-and-rinse or a self-etch adhesive.
Materials And Methods: Each of 25 patients received three class I (occlusal) or class II restorations performed with each one of the three restorative systems: Filtek Silorane Restorative System including a two-step self-etch adhesive, Adper Scotchbond 1 XT (two-step etch-and-rinse adhesive) + Filtek Z250, and Adper Scotchbond SE (two-step self-etch adhesive) + Filtek Z250. All materials were applied as per manufacturer's instructions. Two blind observers evaluated the restorations at four different moments (baseline, after 1, 2, and 5 years) according to the USPHS-modified criteria. Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were conducted to compare the behavior of the restorative systems, while Friedman and Wilcoxon tests were applied to analyze the intrasystem data (p < 0.05).
Results: After 5 years, marginal staining around the restorations with Adper Scotchbond SE + Filtek Z250 was statistically more frequent and severe than that of the restorations performed with the other two systems. Intrasystem comparisons revealed a deterioration of the marginal adaptation after 5 years for all systems. A significant number of restorations bonded with self-etch adhesives showed marginal staining after 5 years of clinical service. A deterioration of the color appearance and an increase of the surface roughness were also detected in the restorations performed with Adper Scotchbond SE + Filtek Z250.
Conclusions: A deterioration of the marginal adaptation was evidenced for all restorative systems, while marginal staining was more frequently seen only around the restorations performed with self-etch adhesives.
Clinical Relevance: No advantage was found of the silorane- over the methacrylate-based composite when combined with an etch-and-rinse adhesive.

Intracellular viscosity is a critical microenvironmental factor in various biological systems, and its abnormal increase is closely linked to the progression of many diseases. Therefore, precisely controlling the release of bioactive molecules in high-viscosity regions is vital for understanding disease mechanisms and advancing their diagnosis and treatment. However, viscosity alone cannot directly trigger chemical reactions.

Introduction: Heavy metal soil pollution is a global issue that can be efficiently tackled through the process of phytoremediation. The use of rapeseed in the phytoremediation of heavy metal-contaminated agricultural land shows great potential. Nevertheless, its ability to tolerate heavy metal stress at the molecular level remains unclear.

Mowing is a primary practice in temperate meadows, which are severely degraded due to frequent mowing, overgrazing, and other factors, necessitating restoration and sustainable management. The natural recovery of these grasslands hinges on their germinable soil seed banks, which form the basis for future productivity. Thus, germinable soil seed banks are critical for restoring overexploited meadows.

Altered protein conformation can cause incurable neurodegenerative disorders. Mutations in , the gene encoding neuroserpin, can alter protein conformation resulting in cytotoxic aggregation leading to neuronal death. Familial encephalopathy with neuroserpin inclusion bodies (FENIB) is a rare autosomal dominant progressive myoclonic epilepsy that progresses to dementia and premature death.
