To promote the widespread use of fly ash (FA) and coal gasification slag (CGS) in mine filling, reducing the amount of cement and promoting the sustainable development of mining enterprises are essential. In this study, decarbonized CGS (DCGS) was prepared from CGS through decarbonization. A new DCGS-FA filling material was prepared using DCGS, FA, cement (3 wt.%), sodium sulfate (SS), and aeolian sand (AS). The effects of different mass ratios (1/9-5/5) of DCGS/FA on the properties of new filling materials were investigated. The results indicate that CGS can be used with FA to prepare filling materials after decarbonization. The flow performance of the DCGS-FA filling material is positively correlated with the mass ratio of DCGS/FA, while the mechanical properties are negatively correlated. The 28-day unconfined uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of all specimens met the mechanical requirements (UCS ≥ 1.0 MPa). The types of hydration products were determined through X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. The main hydration products of DCGS-FA filling materials are ettringite (AFt) and C-S-H gel. The results of the TG/DTG test of 28 days revealed that an increase in the DCGS/FA mass ratio would reduce the content of hydration products in filling materials. When the mass ratio increased from 1/9 to 5/5, the content of hydration products in the filling material decreased by 54.5%. This study provides a new concept for the resource utilization of CGS and FA in mine filling, which can significantly reduce the amount of cement in filling materials and promote the sustainable development of mine filling.

Objective: To investigate the effect of cervical margin relocation with four different injectable restorative materials on the fracture resistance of molars receiving mesio-occluso-distal CAD/CAM nanoceramic onlay restorations.

Materials And Methods: One hundred and five sound mandibular molars received a standardized mesio-occluso-distal onlay preparation, with cervical margins located 2 mm apical to the cemento-enamel junction. The molars were randomly allocated into five groups (n = 21) according to the cervical relocating materials used: Group I had no cervical margin relocation; Group II used a highly viscous glass ionomer; Group III used a highly-filled injectable resin composite; Group IV used a resin-modified glass ionomer; and Group V used a bioactive ionic resin.

Use of Brain Death Recipients in Xenotransplantation: A Double-Edged Sword.

Xenotransplantation

Organ transplants are used to treat many end-stage diseases, but a shortage of donors means many patients cannot be treated. Xenogeneic organs have become an important part of filling the donor gap. Many current studies of kidney, heart, and liver xenotransplantation have used gene-edited pig organs on brain-dead recipients.

Effect of Irrigation Solution Temperature on Bioceramic Sealer Bond Strength.

Med Sci Monit

January 2025

Department of Endodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Dicle University, Diyarbakir, Turkey.

BACKGROUND Different temperature conditions can affect the efficiency of irrigation solutions and consequently the ability of canal sealers to bond to root canal walls. The aim of this endodontic study was to evaluate the effect of irrigation solutions at different temperatures on the bond strength of a bioceramic-based root canal sealer. MATERIAL AND METHODS Root canal preparations were completed through irrigation with the following solutions: Group 1 was irrigated with 5 ml NaOCl (sodium hypochlorite) +5 ml EDTA (Ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid) (22°C); Group 2 was irrigated with 5 ml NaOCl +5 ml EDTA (37°C); Group 3 was irrigated with 5 ml NaOCl +5 ml GA (Glycolic acid) (22°C); Group 4 was irrigated with 5 ml NaOCl +5 ml GA (37°C), Group 5 was irrigated with 20 ml Dual Rinse® HEDP (Etidronate) - NaOCl mixture (22°C); and Group 6 was irrigated with 20 ml of Dual Rinse® HEDP mixture (37°C).

The outbreak of COVID-19 led to the emergence of various forms of mutual aid. While prior research has demonstrated that mutual aid can contribute to participants' subjective well-being, the majority of these studies are qualitative and lack clear understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Using a questionnaire survey and structural equation modeling, this study finds that mutual aid significantly enhances the subjective well-being of participants in China.

Background: This study assessed stress distributions in simulated mandibular molars filled with various materials after the removal of fractured instruments from the apical thirds of the root canals.

Methods: Finite element models of the mesial and distal root canals were created, where fractured instruments were assumed to be removed using a staging platform established with a modified Gates-Glidden bur (Woodpecker, Guangxi, P.R.
