Objectives: The aim was to investigate the fatigue performance of endodontically treated (ET) molars restored by various dentin-replacing materials and material configurations. Moreover, the impact of additional adhesive treatment with glass-ionomer cement (GIC) was evaluated.
Methods: 250 intact molars were collected and randomly distributed into ten groups (n = 25). After endodontic procedure standard Class I cavities were prepared and restored with different direct restorative techniques and dentin-replacing materials. Two-group were restored with either packable or flowable short fiber-reinforced composites (SFRCs). Two-group were restored by experimental fiber-reinforced GIC with and without adhesive treatment. Four-group were restored by conventional and resin-modified GICs with or without adhesive treatment. One-group was restored with a dual-cure composite resin and last group was restored with only conventional composite resin (control). Fatigue-survival was measured for all specimens using a cyclic-loading machine until fracture occurred or a number of 40.000 cycles were achieved. Kaplan-Meyer survival analysis was conducted, followed by pairwise log-rank post hoc comparisons. Fracture mode was then examined by means of optical microscopy and SEM.
Results: Group restored with flowable SFRC showed significantly higher survival (p < 0.05) compared to all of the groups, except for group restored with packable SFRC (p > 0.05). Group restored with fiber-reinforced GIC had significantly (p < 0.05) higher survival rates compared to other commercial GICs. SEM demonstrated change of the fracture line when fracture reached the SFRC layer.
Significance: Direct restoration of Class I in ET molars with the use of SFRCs as dentin-replacing materials demonstrated its ability to reinforce the dental structures and to increase the fatigue resistance in this specific clinical situation.

Studies have shown that circRNAs play an important regulatory role in trophoblast function and embryonic development. Based on sequencing and functional experiments, we found that hsa_circ_0069443 can regulate the function of trophoblast cells, and its presence is found in the exosomes secreted by trophoblast cells. It is known that exosomes mediate the interaction between the uterus and embryo, which is crucial for successful pregnancy.

When juxtaposed with 2D cell culture models, multicellular tumor spheroids demonstrate a capacity to faithfully replicate certain features inherent to solid tumors. These include spatial architecture, physiological responses, the release of soluble mediators, patterns of gene expression, and mechanisms of drug resistance. The morphological and behavioural similarities between 3D-cultured cells and cells within tumor masses highlight the potential of these models in studying cancer biology and drug responses.

One-lung ventilation is commonly used in lateral open chest surgery; however, it can increase pulmonary vascular resistance, which negatively affects Fontan circulation. Nevertheless, one-lung ventilation has a positive indication in post-Fontan patients. It allows surgery with lateral minimally invasive thoracotomy, which does not require a median sternotomy.

Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is a complex mixture derived from adipose tissue, consisting of a variety of cells. Due to its potential for tissue repair, immunomodulation, and support of angiogenesis, SVF represents a promising frontier in regenerative medicine and offers potential therapy for a range of disease conditions. In this article, we delve into the mechanisms through which SVF exerts its effects and explore its potential applications in treating both male and female reproductive disorders, including erectile dysfunction, testicular injury, stress urinary incontinence and intrauterine adhesion.

Background: Prosthetic joint infection is a serious complication that can arise after total joint replacement surgery. When bacteria colonise an orthopaedic implant, they form biofilms that protect them from their environment, making them difficult to remove. Treatment is further complicated by a global rise of antimicrobial resistance.
