In this article, the disclinated modifications of two-dimensional phosphorene crystals are modelled. The modelling technique explores crystal lattices graphenes known as pseudo-graphenes to form a family materials sharing same lattice structure and symmetry. To design phosphorenes Ph5-7v1 Ph5‑6‑7v2, structures G5-7v1 G5‑6‑7v2 chosen reference ones, respectively. Optimization procedure done with...

ABS TRACT Objective: In our study, we investigated transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) immunoreactivity in pre- and posttreatment pathology samples of patients with endometrial hyperplasia (EH) who responded to progesterone therapy were resistant therapy. Material Methods: this retrospective, comparative single-center case-control tissue TRPM7 was evaluated sections obtained from ...

Background: Studies focus on the incidence and risk factors (RFs) associated with reaching final stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD-G5) receiving replacement therapy (KRT). Analysis those related to CKD-G5 while conservative management (CKM) has been neglected. Methods: Retrospective cohort study analysing electronic health records individuals aged ≥ 50 eGFR < 60 mL/min/m2. Cumulative rate...

The c-Myc (Myc) oncoprotein is a high-value therapeutic target given that it is deregulated in multiple types of cancer. However, potent small molecule inhibitors of Myc have been difficult to identify, particularly those whose mechanism relies on blocking the association between Myc and its obligate heterodimerization partner, Max. We have recently reported a structure-activity relationship st...

This study evaluated the influence of non-thermal argon plasma applied to dentin on shear strength two adhesive systems. Ninety tooth fragments were embedded in epoxy resin and distributed into experimental groups (n=15): G1 G4 - systems according manufacturers’ instructions; G2 G5 treated with for 30 seconds before hybridization; G3 G6 after hybridization. Cylinders made composite area, specim...

BACKGROUND The following calcium (Ca) correction formula (Payne) is conventionally used for serum Ca estimation: corrected total Ca (TCa) (mg/dl) = TCa (mg/dl) + [4 - albumin (g/dl)]; however, it is inapplicable to advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. METHODS 1,922 samples in CKD G4 + G5 patients and 341 samples in CKD G5D patients were collected. Levels of TCa (mg/day), ionized Ca...

Color match is one of the most important characteristics of aesthetic restorative materials. Maintenance of color throughout the functional lifetime of restorations is important for the durability of treatment. This characteristic is not constant among dental materials. The purpose of this research was to assess the color stability of five aesthetic restorative materials when immersed in a coff...

INTRODUCTION Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is characterized by tooth pain arising from exposure of dental roots. In this study the efficiency of neodymium yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) laser in association with graphite on dentinal surface changes as the alternative to the treatment of DH was evaluated. METHODS Sixteen noncarious human third molars were collected and sectioned into 5 parts ...

BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) involves a progressive, irreversible loss of kidney function. While early-stage CKD patients may show changes in pulmonary function and lowered exercise tolerance, the role of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in these patterns remains unknown. The aim of this study was to investigated pulmonary function and exercise tolerance in pre-dialyti...
