Peri-implant diseases, such as peri-implantitis, affect up to 47% of dental implant recipients, primarily due to biofilm formation. Current decontamination methods vary in efficacy, prompting interest in polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) for their antimicrobial and protein-specific cleaning properties. This study evaluated the efficacy of polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) in decontaminating titanium dental implants by removing proteinaceous pellicle layers and resisting recontamination.

Aim: To validate the prognostic value of the PAncreatic NeoAdjuvant MAssachusetts (PANAMA)-score and to determine its predictive ability for survival benefit derived from adjuvant treatment in patients after resection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) following neoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX.

Background: The PANAMA-score was developed to guide prognostication in patients after neoadjuvant therapy and resection for PDAC. As this score focuses on the risk for residual disease after resection, it might also be able to select patients who benefit from adjuvant after neoadjuvant therapy.

Unit-cell parameters determination from a set of independent electron diffraction zonal patterns.

Acta Crystallogr A Found Adv

March 2025

Nanostructures Research Laboratory, Japan Fine Ceramics Center, 2-4-11 Mustuno, Atsuta-ku, Nagoya, 456-8587, Japan.

Due to the short de Broglie wavelength of electrons compared with X-rays, the curvature of their Ewald sphere is low, and individual electron diffraction patterns are nearly flat in reciprocal space. As a result, a reliable unit-cell determination from a set of randomly oriented electron diffraction patterns, an essential step in serial electron diffraction, becomes a non-trivial task. Here we describe an algorithm for unit-cell determination from a set of independent electron diffraction patterns, as implemented in the program PIEP (Program for Interpreting Electron diffraction Patterns), written in the early 1990s.

Simultaneous quantification of siRNA antisense and sense strands by hybrid liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Bioanalysis

January 2025

Bioanalysis Discovery & Development Sciences, Johnson & Johnson, Spring House, PA, USA.

Background: Most oligonucleotide bioanalytical assays currently only quantify the pharmacologically-active antisense strand, though there have been recent efforts to simultaneously quantify the sense strand using hybridization ELISA or solid phase extraction LC-MS. Hybrid LC-MS, which offers both high sensitivity and specificity unlike the currently used platforms, has not been applied to quantify both siRNA strands simultaneously.

Materials & Methods: A hybrid LC-MS assay utilizing LNA capture probes was developed and applied to quantify both strands of a 21-mer lipid-conjugated siRNA (SIR-3) using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS).

Background: Risk prediction tools for acutely ill children have been developed in high- and low-income settings, but few are validated or incorporated into clinical guidelines. We aimed to assess the performance of existing paediatric early warning scores for use in low- and middle-income countries using clinical data from a recent large multi-country study in Africa and South-Asia.

Methods: We used data (children across three nutritional strata) from the Childhood Acute Illness and Nutrition (CHAIN) Network cohort study (n = 3101).
