Statement Of Problem: The interface of fiber post and composite resin is a site of potential failure of adhesion. Improving this interface adhesion through different pretreatments of the fiber post surface has been suggested, but the results are controversial.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect on the bond strength to composite resin of pretreating glass fiber post surfaces with hydrogen peroxide, phosphoric acid, and a silane coupling agent.
Material And Methods: Glass fiber posts were treated for 1 or 5 minutes with 30% hydrogen peroxide or 35% phosphoric acid. Treated posts were divided into silanization and no silanization groups. Control groups included no treatment or treatment with silanization alone (total of 10 groups; n=14). Composite resin was bonded to the fiber posts, and the specimens were cut into beams with the fiber post in the middle and the composite resin at both sides. The beams were attached to a mechanical testing device, and microtensile bond strength was evaluated. Fracture modes were assessed using stereomicroscopy. Statistical analysis was done with 3- and 2-way ANOVA (α=.05). Additional specimens were evaluated with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to evaluate the effect of treatments on the characteristics of fiber post surfaces.
Results: The highest bond strength values were found in the group treated with phosphoric acid for 5 minutes with silanization, followed by the group treated with silanization alone. ANOVA showed a statistically significant effect for silanization (P<.05), but no statistically significant effect for surface treatment. SEM evaluation revealed cracked and dislodged superficial fibers in all groups, with no obvious difference in fiber exposure among the groups.
Conclusions: The silane coupling agent had a significant effect on the bond strength of the tested glass fiber posts to composite resin, whereas 30% hydrogen peroxide or 35% phosphoric acid did not.

Cataracts are significant causes of blindness, closely linked to prolonged hypercholesterolemia. While saffron has the potential for eye health, its effects on lens lesions remain understudied. This study aimed to investigate the effect of saffron on the lens changes in atherosclerotic-induced New Zealand white rabbits (NZWR).

Background: Technological advancements and globalization have shifted dietary behaviours, contributing to increased chronic disease prevalence in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) like India. Adolescents are particularly vulnerable due to these changes, which can impact their lifelong health. This study aimed to assess the nutritional status of adolescents in public schools in Chandigarh, India.

Several plant seeds release a mucilaginous envelope through hydration, rich in pectins and stabilized by cellulose fibers. This mucilage aids in seed protection, development, and adhesion for dispersal. This study aimed to separate the effects of pectins and cellulose fibers by using pectinase to remove mucilage pectins, leaving cellulose arrays, and performing wet and dry pull-off force measurements on seeds of three plant species: Salvia hispanica (Chia), Collomia grandiflora (Collomia) and Linum usitatissimum (Flax).

Recent advances in genome editing tools and CRISPR-Cas technologies have enabled plant genome engineering reach new heights. The current regulatory exemptions for certain categories of genome edited products, such as those derived from SDN-1 and SDN-2, which are free of any transgene, have significantly accelerated genome editing research in a number of agricultural crop plants in different countries. Although CRISPR-Cas technology is becoming increasingly popular, it is still important to carefully consider a number of factors before planning and carrying conducting CRISPR-Cas studies.

The impact of light radiation, a predominant energy release mechanism in nuclear explosions, on material properties is of critical importance. This investigation employed an artificial light source to replicate the effects of nuclear explosion radiation and utilized a physical information neural network (PINN) to examine the temperature evolution and corresponding changes in the mechanical properties of carbon fiber/epoxy composites (CFEC). A light source simulating nuclear explosion's light radiation was built to irradiate the CFEC, then measure the reflection spectrum and temperature of samples.
