This study evaluated the depth of cure (DOC) of packable and flowable bulk-fill resin-based composites (RBCs) including PRG (prereacted glass ionomer) and short-fiber materials. The materials were placed in a black split-mold with a 7 mm deep recess and cured at 700 mW/cm(2) for 20 s using a LED curing light. DOC was assessed using the ISO scraping and Knoops hardness tests. Data (n=5) were computed and analyzed using one-way ANOVA/Scheffe's post hoc test (p<0.05). ISO DOC ranged from 3.66 to 2.54 mm while DOC based on hardness testing ranged from 3 to 1.5 mm. For all materials, a decrease in hardness was observed with increasing depths. The DOC of bulk-fill RBCs was product dependent and greater than standard composites. At 4 mm depth, none of the bulk-fill RBCs had a depth: top hardness ratio of 0.8 and above.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus nephritis (LN) are debilitating autoimmune disorders characterized by pathological autoantibodies production and immune dysfunction, causing chronic inflammation and multi-organ damage. Despite current treatments with antimalarial drugs, glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, and monoclonal antibodies, a definitive cure remains elusive, highlighting an urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies. Recent studies indicate that chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has shown promising results in treating B-cell malignancies and may offer a significant breakthrough for non-malignant conditions like SLE.

Exosomes are a member of extracellular vesicles. However, their biological characteristics differ from those of other vesicles, and recently, their powerful functions as information molecules, biomarkers, and carriers have been demonstrated. Malignancies are the leading cause of high morbidity and mortality worldwide.

This study explores the role of LINC00839 and its potential interaction with the miR-195-5p/cyclin E1 (CCNE1) axis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Using The Cancer Genome Atlas, we analyzed lncRNA, miRNA, and mRNA sequencing data for OSCC. Different online tools were applied to detect lncRNA-related miRNAs and their target mRNAs, forming a lncRNA/miRNA/mRNA axis.

Background: To eliminate malaria by 2035, Brazil must address Plasmodium vivax. Previously, first-line treatment was chloroquine plus 7-day primaquine (PQ) without glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency testing. In 2021, point-of-care quantitative G6PD testing and single-dose tafenoquine (TQ) were piloted in two municipalities.

Objective: Zinc oxide (ZnO) powder possesses antibacterial activity and although white in color, it can severely reduce the depth of cure (DoC) of resin-based composite (RBC). This study investigated the effect of unary and binary photoinitiator systems on the DoC and degree of conversion (DC) of formulated RBC containing ZnO-nanoparticles.
Methods: Fourteen RBCs (n = 3/group) were formulated consisting of 50 wt% mixture of monomers (Bis-GMA, TEGDMA, and UDMA) and 50 wt% fillers (inert barium glass powder and silica nanoparticles).
