Autonomous-Strengthening Adhesive Provides Hydrolysis-Resistance and Enhanced Mechanical Properties in Wet Conditions
(MDPI, 2022-08-27)The low-viscosity adhesive that is used to bond composite restorative materials to the tooth is readily damaged by acids, enzymes, and oral fluids. Bacteria infiltrate the resulting gaps at the composite/tooth interface, ... -
Silica-Coated Magnetic Nanoparticles for Vancomycin Conjugation
(American Chemical Society, 2022-08-16)Drug resistance is a global health challenge with thousands of deaths annually caused by bacterial multidrug resistance (MDR). Efforts to develop new antibacterial molecules do not meet the mounting needs imposed by the ... -
CT-based lung motion differences in patients with usual interstitial pneumonia and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia
(Frontiers Media, 2022-10-04)We applied quantitative CT image matching to assess the degree of motion in the idiopathic ILD such as usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP). Twenty-one normal subjects and 42 ... -

Global Ban on Plastic and What Next? Are Consumers Ready to Replace Plastic with the Second-Generation Bioplastic? Results of the Snowball Sample Consumer Research in China, Western and Eastern Europe, North America and Brazil
(MDPI, 2022-10-27)Plastic can be used for many things and at the same time is the most versatile material in our modern world. However, the uncontrolled and unprecedented use of plastic comes to its end. The global ban on plastic brings ... -
Novel hydrogel system eliminates subculturing and improves retention of nonsenescent mesenchymal stem cell populations
(Future Science Group, 2022-10-12)Aim: To compare the physiological behavior of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) within an expandable tissue-mimetic 3D system relative to in vitro expansion in a traditional 2D system. Methods: Adipose-derived MSCs ... -
The feasibility of ultrasound-assisted endovascular laser thrombolysis in an acute rabbit thrombosis model
(Wiley, 2021-07-02)Purpose This study aimed to test the feasibility of combined ultrasound and laser technique, namely, ultrasound-assisted endovascular laser thrombolysis (USELT), for thrombolysis by conducting in vivo tests in a rabbit ... -
Fluidic operation of a polymer-based nanosensor chip for analysing single molecules
(Cambridge University Press, 2022-06-27)Most medical diagnostic tests are expensive, involve slow turnaround times from centralized laboratories and require highly specialized equipment with seasoned technicians to carry out the assay. To facilitate realization ... -
Effect of Photo-Mediated Ultrasound Therapy on Nitric Oxide and Prostacyclin from Endothelial Cells
(National Academy of Sciences, 2022-03-03)Several studies have investigated the effect of photo-mediated ultrasound therapy (PUT) on the treatment of neovascularization. This study explores the impact of PUT on the release of the vasoactive agents nitric oxide ... -
Estrogen Signaling Dictates Musculoskeletal Stem Cell Behavior: Sex Differences in Tissue Repair
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2022-08-08)Sexual dimorphisms in humans and other species exist in visually evident features such as body size and less apparent characteristics, including disease prevalence. Current research is adding to a growing understanding of ... -
Photo-Mediated Ultrasound Therapy for the Treatment of Corneal Neovascularization in Rabbit Eyes
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2020-12-09)Purpose: Corneal neovascularization (CNV) is the invasion of new blood vessels into the avascular cornea, leading to reduced corneal transparency and visual acuity, impaired vision, and even blindness. Current treatment ... -
Cavitation induced shear and circumferential stresses on blood vessel walls during photo-mediated ultrasound therapy
(American Institute of Physics, 2020-12-29)Photo-mediated ultrasound therapy (PUT) is a novel technique using combined laser and ultrasound to generate enhanced cavitation activity inside blood vessels. The stresses produced by oscillating bubbles during PUT are ... -
Proper orthogonal decomposition and recurrence map for the identification of spatial–temporal patterns in a low-Re wake downstream of two cylinders
(American Institute of Physics, 2020-03-20)Flow decomposition methods provide systematic ways to extract the flow modes, which can be regarded as the spatial distribution of a coherent structure. They have been successfully used in the study of wake, boundary layer, ... -
