Introduction: (blood clam) shell contained 98.7% of calcium carbonate (CaCO). This material has bio-properties that able to induced the dentin regeneration. This study is expected to reveal the nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-kB), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β1), and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) expression in dental pulp after application of CaCO from shell.
Material And Methods: The thirty strain Wistar used as model. The maxillary first molar was preparation using 0.84 mm low-speed diamond bur to made cavity. The cavity then applied glass ionomer cement (as control group) and other group applied CaCO from shell. The teeth in each group were extracted after 1st, 3rd and 7th days of application for immunohistochemistry analysis for NF-kB, TGF-β1, and VEGF-A expression.
Result: The NF-kB expression in the group with CaCO from shell lower than control after 1st, 3rd and 7th days (p < 0.05). In other hand, the TGF-β1 and VEGF-A expression in the group with CaCO from shell higher than control after 1st, 3rd and 7th days (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: CaCO from shell able to stimulate the TGF-β1 and VEGF-A and suppress the NF-kB expression in the dental pulp. This material able to develop as dentin-pulp material restoration.

Objectives: Calcium carbonate (CaCO), a major inorganic component in bones and teeth, offers potential protection against demineralization. This study investigates the effect of CaCO from shells on the expression of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), and collagen type 1 in the rat dental pulp.
Materials And Methods: The first maxillary molars of were perforated and subsequently pulp capped with CaCO extracted from shells.

Here, we present three-dimensional-printed dual-channel flow-through miniaturized devices (3D) with dual electrochemical detection (ED) integrating two working electrodes each in an in-channel configuration (3D-ED). Prussian Blue (PB) shell-gold nanoparticles ((PB)AuNP) core-based electrochemistry was chosen for selective hydrogen peroxide determination. 3D-ED devices exhibited impress stability, identical intrachannel and interchannel electrochemical performances, and excellent interdevice precision with values under 9%, revealing the reliability of the design and fabrication of the devices.

The valorization of gastropod shell wastes in the production of lime is the topic of this study. First, shells from land snail and sea snail were characterized for their mineralogical, chemical, and thermal properties. Then, the shells were calcined at 1000 °C, and the obtained quicklimes were characterized for their specific surface area, pore diameter, and particle morphology, followed by evaluation of their reactivity in wet slaking tests.

Thermal burn injuries induce substantial alterations in the immune compositions and anatomical structures in the skin, which are characterized by strong inflammatory responses and thick eschar formation on the wound surface. These traits challenge current treatment paradigms due to insufficient drug penetration into affected tissues and the unsatisfactory wound regeneration. Herein, we report a layered microneedle (MN) patch for addressing these challenges in burn injury healing.
