Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO) can be challenging. Although several crossing techniques are available, in some cases their application fails to cross the occlusion. Carlino et al. have pioneered the technique of hydraulic microdissection by contrast injection through a microcatheter inserted into the lesion. We report two CTO PCI cases in which the use of the Carlino technique enabled success after other crossing strategies failed to cross the occlusion. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effect of In Situ Acid Erosion on Structural and Optical Properties of Nanoparticulated Bisacrylic Resin With Different Surface Treatments.

Department of Dental Materials and Prosthodontics, Sao Paulo State University (UNESP), School of Dentistry, Araçatuba, São Paulo, Brazil.
Objective: To evaluate the influence of in situ acid erosion on the structural and optical properties of nanoparticulate bisacrylic resin with different surface treatments, evaluating surface roughness (Ra), knoop microhardness (KHN), color change (ΔE, ΔL, ΔC, ΔH), contrast (CR) and translucency (TP).
Methods: Eighty specimens were made (n = 10 per group) and the following surface treatments were applied: U-unpolished; A-polishing with Astropol rubber tips (Ivoclar); S-Biscover LV surface sealant (Bisco) and S-Palaseal surface sealant (kulzer). For the in situ experiment, 10 volunteers wore an intraoral appliance containing eight specimens (two specimens per experimental group), with only one specimen from each experimental group being subjected to the acid process.

Background: Oral microbiome homeostasis is important for children's health, and microbial community is affected by anesthetics. The application of anesthetics in children's oral therapy has become a relatively mature method. This study aims to investigate the effect of different anesthesia techniques on children's oral microbiota.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains the most prevalent type of primary liver cancer worldwide. p53 is one of the most frequently mutated tumor-suppressor genes in HCC and its deficiency in hepatocytes triggers tumor formation in mice. To investigate iron metabolism during liver carcinogenesis, we employed a model of chronic carbon tetrachloride injections in liver-specific p53-deficient mice to induce liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and subsequent carcinogenesis.

Department of Medicine for Sports and Performing Arts, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine, Suita, Japan.
Aims: Ultrasound-guided injection techniques are expected to enhance therapeutic efficacy for skeletal muscle injuries and disorders, but basic knowledge is lacking. The purpose of this study was to examine the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound for abnormal skeletal muscle lesions, and to examine the distribution patterns of solution and cells injected into abnormal muscle lesions under ultrasound guidance.
Methods: A cardiotoxin (CTX)-induced muscle injury model was used.
