The effect of different air-blowing strategies using a prototype of a newly developed clinically applicable warm air-blowing device on the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of one-step self-etch adhesives (1-SEAs) to human root-canal dentin was evaluated. Post cavities (8 mm depth, 1.5 mm diameter) were prepared and bonded with four 1-SEAs. Air-blowing was performed using normal air (23±1°C) for 10 or 20 s; warm air (60±1°C) for 10 or 20 s; or their combination for 10 s (5 s normal, 5 s warm) or 20 s (10 s normal, 10 s warm). After filling with corresponding core materials and 24-h water storage, μTBS test was performed. For three of the 1-SEAs, combined air-blowing for 20 s significantly increased μTBS compared to other air-blowing strategies (p<0.05). This suggests that the combination of normal and warm air-blowing for 20 s can enhance solvent evaporation from 1-SEAs, thus resulting in their improved bonding performance to root-canal dentin.

Odor emission pattern of the waste storage workshop of kitchen waste treatment plant and control strategy study with CFD simulation.

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int

September 2024

School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen, Shenzhen, Guangdong, 518055, P.R. China.

Article Synopsis
  • Odor emission from kitchen waste management plants, particularly from waste storage tanks, poses significant challenges that necessitate better control solutions.
  • A study conducted at a kitchen waste treatment plant in Guangdong, China found that the worst odor emissions occurred during summer, with 105 different odorous gases identified, primarily from sulfur compounds and organic compounds.
  • The research highlighted that methylmercaptan is the major contributor to odor concentration, and suggested that effective odor control measures, such as using a 45° inclined air suction port, can significantly reduce emissions.

Introduction: As a public health crisis, hepatitis C viral infection (HCV) is highly prevalent among people who inject drugs (PWID). We aimed to assess factors associated with HCV antibody (Ab) and HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) positivity among PWID in Puerto Rico.

Methods: The study recruited a total of 150 persons in rural and peri-urban community settings through the respondent-driven sampling method and administered a structured questionnaire.

Synergistically Enabling Fast-Cycling and High-Yield Atmospheric Water Harvesting with Plasma-Treated Magnetic Flower-Like Porous Carbons.

Adv Sci (Weinh)

January 2023

State Key Laboratory of Materials-Oriented Chemical Engineering, College of Chemical Engineering, Nanjing Tech University, Nanjing, 211816, P. R. China.

Sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) offers a promising solution to the water scarcity in arid regions. However, majority of the existing AWH sorbents are suffering from rather poor water productivity due to their slow water adsorption-desorption cycling capability especially when they are applied in high packing thickness. Herein, an oxygen plasma-treated magnetic flower-like porous carbon (P-MFPC) with large open surfaces, abundant surface oxygen-containing moieties, and excellent localized magnetic induction heating (LMIH) capacity is developed.

Recently, results have been published for the first successful phase I human clinical trial investigating the use of dissolving polymeric microneedles… Even so, further clinical development represents an important hurdle that remains in the translation of microneedle technology to approved products. Specifically, the potential for accumulation of polymer within the skin upon repeated application of dissolving and coated microneedles, combined with a lack of safety data in humans, predicates a need for further clinical investigation. Polymers are an important consideration for microneedle technology-from both manufacturing and drug delivery perspectives.
