For all the studied self-adhesive cements, the failure of adhesion between the cement and dentin was predominant mode.

Significant differences were found in the shear bond strengths of the CAD/CAM ceramics luted to dentin using tested self-adhesive and conventional cements. The bond strength depended on the combination of ceramic and cement. The IPS e.max ZirCAD had the highest bond strength to dentin after cementation with RelyX U200, while the IPS Empress CAD and IPS e.max CAD - with Panavia V5.

The effectiveness of the whip-like coordination in throwing might be influenced by the inertial properties of the athlete's arm. This preliminary study investigated the acute effect of attaching mass to the upper arm on the distance achieved in a modified javelin throw. The aim was to identify the optimum upper arm mass that maximizes throw distance.

Three well-trained adult male athletes performed maximum-effort throws with an 800-g javelin training ball. A wide range of masses (0-1.5 kg) were attached to the upper arm and a 2D video analysis was used to obtain measures of the projection variables for each attached mass.

All three athletes showed an effect of attached arm mass on throw distance, and with the optimum mass the athlete's throw distance was increased by 2.2 m, 1.2 m, and 0 m (7%, 4%, and 0%) respectively. The optimum mass was specific to the athlete (0.6 kg, 0.2 kg, and 0 kg) and changes in throw distance were mostly due to changes in release velocity rather than changes in release angle or release height. The experimental results were broadly similar to those obtained using a simple 2D mathematical model of throwing.

These results indicate that some javelin throwers might see an increase in throwing performance when a mass is attached to their upper arm. However, the relationship between upper arm mass and throwing performance should be investigated further with studies on more athletes, projectiles of different mass, and other throwing events.

Endoscopy is a common and effective method to treat digestive system diseases. Not only can it detect the physiological state of the digestive tract, but also can conduct clinical operations. As a result, it's of great significance to make clear the relationship between the clinical operation and the complications.

Considering the difficulty in measuring the contact force and determining the stress distribution in real time during endoscopy, a specific-patient finite element model for the frictional behavior at the endoscope-esophagus interface was built in current study. By collecting the CT data of the patient, a 3D esophagus model was built and divided into three characteristic regions (narrow region, thoracic region and abdominal region) according to the physiological structure.

Results showed that the radius of the narrowest position was the dominant factor for the maximum von Mises stress when the endoscope passed through the narrow region. For abdominal region and thoracic region, with the increasing coefficient of friction (COF) and amplitude, the total force duo to frictional force (CFSM), frictional dissipation (FD), strain energy (SE) and maximum von Mises stress (Max) all increased correspondingly. Meanwhile, the region of stress concentration gradually approached the initial contact stage.

The results can provide theoretical basis and technical support for clinical application and offer some suggestions for medical workers during endoscopy as well.

An arteriovenous fistula has been a widely accepted vascular access for hemodialysis, however, a fistula maturation process is still not fully understood. In the short period of time, right after vein and artery shunting, the physical and biological changes take place mainly in the venous wall. A two-stage modeling method of arteriovenous fistula maturation process was proposed and presented.

The first stage of the maturation was modeled with two-way coupled fluid structure interaction computer simulations. Whereas for the second, biological stage, a model was based on the change in the elasticity of the venous wall due to wall shear stress (WSS) modifications.

The relation between stress and radial and circumferential strain, based on Lame's theory, makes possible to introduce a mathematical model defining modulus of elasticity, averaged WSS, and venous diameter as time functions. The presented model enables one to predict changes in the monitored parameters in the arteriovenous fistula taking place in the time longer than 90 days.

We found that probably the majority of fistulas can be assessed to be mature too early, when the adequate blood flow rate is achieved but mean WSS still remains at the non-physiological level (>10 Pa).

The aim of the study was to compare the distribution of foot plantar pressure between normal and obese adult subjects during walking.

Sixty male and female adult volunteers (aged 20-40) were recruited into the study. They were equally divided into 30 normal subjects (BMI = 18.5-22.9 kg/cm²) into group I and 30 obese subjects (BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/cm²) into group II, according to their BMI.

There were statistically significant differences between normal and obese subjects in foot length, width, and pressure distribution in the hindfoot, midfoot, forefoot, and toes. There was a statistically significant increase in the plantar pressure of all measured areas in obese persons in comparison with the normal subjects. TGF-beta inhibitor In addition, all measures of foot pressure showed statistically significant differences between the same sex of both groups, while the obese subjects of both genders have higher foot pressure in all measured areas. High positive correlations were detected between BMI, peak pressure, foot contact, and foot width in both groups, but there was a weak positive correlation between normal BMI and foot contact area.
