Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nonthermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) on the bond strength of epoxy resin-based and bioceramic root canal sealers.
Materials And Methods: Freshly extracted forty ( = 40) single-rooted mandibular premolar teeth were divided into four groups ( = 10) based on the sealer used and NTAP application - Group 1: Epoxy resin-based sealer (AH Plus) without NTAP application, Group 2: Epoxy resin-based sealer (AH Plus) with NTAP application for 30 s, Group 3: Bioceramic sealer (BioRoot RCS) without NTAP application, and Group 4: Bioceramic sealer (BioRoot RCS) with NTAP application for 30 s. After NTAP application in Groups 2 and 4, all the samples were obturated using sealers according to their grouping protocols. Two-millimeter slices were obtained from each sample using hard tissue microtome, which were subjected to push-out bond strength (PBS) under the universal testing machine. Data were subjected to statistical analysis using one-way analysis of variance followed by the Post hoc tukey test. The level of statistical significance was set at < 0.05.
Results: The PBS values were observed to be significantly higher in bioceramic sealer with NTAP application (Group 4) followed by epoxy resin-based sealer with NTAP application (Group 2).
Conclusion: NTAP application enhanced the PBS of bioceramic (BioRoot RCS) and epoxy resin-based (AH Plus) sealers compared to their control groups.

Titanium (Ti) implants have become widespread especially in dentistry and orthopedics, where macrophage-driven osteoimmunomodulation is crucial to their success. Hydrophilic modification of Ti represents a promising strategy to enhance its immune and osteogenic responses. Herein, the osteoimmunomodulatory performance and integrin-mediated mechanism of novel non-thermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) treatment to induce a hydrophilic Ti were investigated for the first time.

Although conventional 2-dimensional magnetic resonance (MR) sequences have traditionally comprised the foundational imaging strategy for visualization of musculoskeletal anatomy and pathology, the emergence of isotropic volumetric 3-dimensional sequences offers to advance musculoskeletal evaluation with comparatively similar image quality and diagnostic performance, shorter acquisition times, and the added advantages of improved spatial resolution and multiplanar reformation capability. The purpose of this review article is to summarize the available 3-dimensional MR sequences and their role in the management of patients with musculoskeletal disorders, including sports imaging, rheumatologic conditions, peripheral nerve imaging, bone and soft tissue tumor imaging, and whole-body MR imaging.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on early detection of peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNST) associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) using a cell-free DNA (cfDNA) fragmentomic approach, which can improve clinical decision-making and treatment outcomes.
- Researchers isolated cfDNA from plasma samples of 101 NF1 patients and 21 healthy controls, employing whole-genome sequencing and analyzing various fragmentomic signatures to differentiate between benign, premalignant, and malignant tumors.
- Results showed that fragmentomic methods successfully distinguished atypical neurofibromas (premalignant) from benign forms and malignant PNST, offering potential for non-invasive diagnostics and better management of NF1-related tumors.*

This article discusses the importance of early tumor detection, particularly in liver cancer, and the role of leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) as a potential marker for liver cancer diagnosis and prognosis assessment. The article highlights the limitations of current tumor markers and the need for new markers and multi-marker approaches to improve accuracy. The authors introduce a novel near-infrared fluorescent probe, NTAP, designed for LAP detection.
