Aim: This study aims to analyze the fatigue resistance, surface mechanical properties, and biomechanical responsiveness of microtissue-engineered root dentin using cellulose nanofibers, hydroxyapatite nanocrystals, and walnut shell nanopowders.
Methodology: The objectives are to evaluate the differences in fatigue resistance and biomechanics and surface mechanical characteristics by infiltrating these nanomaterials into the root canal of endodontically treated teeth. Forty human permanent single-rooted teeth were collected with the patient's consent. Fatigue resistance was measured using cyclic loading, and surface roughness was measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Results: The results showed a fatigue resistance of 36.81 ± 4.58 MPa, attributed to the availability of calcium ions at 9%, the highest compared to other groups. Non-microtissue-engineered root dentin exhibited a stress resistance of 12.3 ± 3.1 MPa and a strain resistance of 4.1 ± 1.1 MPa. Walnut shell nanopowder (WNP) exhibited higher fatigue resistance than other groups ( > 0.05).
Conclusion: Root dentin engineered with HaNPs showed a fatigue resistance of 36.81 ± 4.58 MPa and surface roughness of 4.2 ± 0.5 MPa, attributed to the availability of calcium ions at 9%, the highest compared to other groups. Non-microtissue-engineered root dentin exhibited a fatigue resistance of 12.3 ± 3.1 MPa, while microtissue-engineered root dentin showed 36.81 ± 4.58 MPa, which is three times higher.

Introduction: Modern medical treatment of insomnia is often associated with issues like addiction, drug resistance, and a high risk of relapse post drug withdrawal. To tackle these challenges, the Chinese medicine formula Shuhe granule (SHG) has been employed in insomnia treatment at Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine. Despite this, there is currently a lack of reliable evidence from evidence-based trials to support the widespread use of SHG in insomnia treatment.

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication in chronic kidney disease patients, necessitating effective management to prevent adverse outcomes. This study evaluates the efficacy of surgical intervention in achieving biochemical balance in SHPT patients resistant to medical therapy. The study includes 36 patients with SHPT who underwent subtotal parathyroidectomy following failed medical management.

Introduction Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a chronic condition characterized by sudden, short episodes of excruciating facial pain affecting one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve (V), which severely impacts patients' quality of life. Despite the availability of various treatment options, some cases experience poor pain control. Sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) block using the Tx360 nasal applicator has recently been introduced with promising results as a treatment option in such cases.

In cement-based composite materials, the issue of graphene oxide (GO) dispersion has long been a bottleneck for its widespread application. In this context, polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCS) was used to modify GO through a simple preparation process, resulting PCS@GO, which could greatly improve the dispersity of GO. It was found that PCS@GO can be uniformly dispersed in the cement mortar, a phenomenon attributed to the steric hindrance and electrostatic repulsion generated on the GO surface modified by PCS, effectively preventing the aggregation of GO.

Elastomers are omnipresent in everyday life and industry, yet the development of an elastomer with both superb stress and toughness presents a prodigious challenge. In this report, a high-strength, tough, and high-elastic elastomer derived from sp2 hybrid orbitals of phenylboronic acid was designed. The spatial conformation of network becomes significantly more compact due to the sp2 hybridization of boron.
