The synthesis of a bioorthogonal-responsive low molecular weight diphenylalanine (PhePhe)-based hydrogel that is capped with a 4-azido-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzyl carbamate self-immolative linker is reported. The hydrogelator (AzF-PhePhe) generates a stable hydrogel at 0.1 wt%, and rapidly reacts with the bioorthogonal reagent -cyclooctene (TCO), inducing a gel-to-solution transition. The critical gel concentration is five-fold lower than our previously synthesized non-fluorinated hydrogelator (Az-PhePhe), and the minimum concentration of TCO required for visible gel-to-solution transition in 24 hours is 1 mM. Doxorubicin can be encapsulated in the hydrogel and TCO-triggered dissolution results in 76% and 89% release after 10 and 24 hours, respectively. Compared with our non-substituted aryl azide capping group used for Az-PhePhe, the tetrafluorinated aryl azide group improves the stability of the hydrogel in unbuffered water at a lower critical gel concentration, while improving sensitivity towards the bioorthogonal reagent TCO.

Objectives: Comparative evaluation of indirect pulp therapy (IPT) with silver diamine fluoride (SDF), Type VII glass ionomer cement (GIC), and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) in young permanent molars.
Materials And Methods: This was randomized controlled trial, in which 45 children with 60 young permanent first molars were allocated as; Group A: IPT with SDF, Group B: Type VII GIC, and Group C: Ca(OH)2. Clinical and radiographic evaluation and comparison was done at baseline, 3, 6, 12 months.

Aim: Clinical and radiographic evaluation of SDF versus MTA as indirect pulp capping agents in deeply carious first permanent molars.
Methodology: This study was conducted on (30) first permanent molars indicated for indirect pulp capping (IPC) randomly allocated to either SDF or MTA groups (n = 15). The molars were finally restored with glass hybrid glass ionomer restoration.

Aim: The present case-control study was planned to assess the comparative efficacy of resin-modified calcium silicate, resin-modified glass ionomer, and Dycal as pulp capping agents in indirect pulp therapy for deeply carious young permanent molars.
Materials And Methods: Thirty deeply carious young posterior teeth were treated by indirect pulp therapy. During the treatment, the cavity floor was lined with TheraCal or resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) in the study group and with Dycal (control group) followed by GC IX and composite restoration.
Semisynthesis of Alkaloid Derivatives: Pyranoacridone-Hydroxamic Acid Cytotoxic Conjugates with HDAC and Topoisomerase II α Dual Inhibitory Activity.

Inspired by our previous efforts in the semisynthetic modification of naturally occurring pyranoacridones, we report the targeted design and semisynthesis of dual inhibitors of HDAC and topoisomerase II α (Topo II α) derived from des--methylacronycine () and noracronycine () pyranoacridone alkaloids. Designed from the clinically approved SAHA, the cytotoxic pyranoacridone nuclei from the alkaloids served as the capping group, while a hydroxamic acid moiety functioned as the zinc-binding group. Out of 16 compounds evaluated in an cytotoxicity assay, KT32 () with noracronycine () as the capping group and five-carbon linker hydroxamic acid side chains showed good cytotoxic activity with IC values of 1.

Perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) have attracted more and more attention in light-emitting diode (LED) devices due to their outstanding photoelectric properties. Surface ligands not only enable size control of quantum dots but also enhance their optoelectronic performance. However, the efficiency of exciton recombination in PQDs is often hindered by the desorption dynamics of surface ligands, leading to suboptimal electrical performance.
