1% vs. 68%, p = .47). CONCLUSION Patients undergoing CTO PCI with prior CABG have a higher prevalence of comorbidities and more complex lesion characteristics. In the post-CABG population the success rate was significantly lower, particularly in high CTO complexity scores, though complication rates were comparable. In the post-CABG population, the CTO success rate was independent of the presence of a previous graft on the CTO vessel. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.INTRODUCTION The efficacy of surgical regenerative procedures to treat peri-implantitis lesions has been extensively reviewed. Regenerative treatment showed a variable rate of success, in terms of pocket reduction, gain in bone support and elimination of signs of infection/inflammation. The aim of the present case report is to illustrate the use of Sub-Periosteal Peri-Implant Augmented Layer (SPAL) technique to correct peri-implantitis defects CASE SERIES Surgical treatment of 3 class Ib and 1 class Ic peri-implantitis lesions in 3 patients was performed by mean of the SPAL technique. A partial-thickness flap was elevated, leaving the periosteal layer on the buccal cortical bone plate. The periosteal layer was in turn elevated to create a pouch, which was used to stabilize a bovine-derived xenograft (DBBM) at the peri-implant buccal bone defect. No barrier membrane was used. In case of insufficient dimensions of peri-implant mucosa, a connective tissue graft (CTG) was buccally positioned at the most coronal portion of the implant. Treatment resulted in substantial reconstruction of peri-implant support associated with reduced probing depth and absence of inflammation. CONCLUSIONS SPAL technique with or without additional CTG may be a suitable option to obtain clinical remission of peri-implantitis defects associated with buccal bone dehiscence.

There are a few commercial offerings aqueous amine technologies, however the cost of capturing CO 2 with these technologies remains high. To decrease costs, researchers are designing efficient drop-in replacements using aqueous amine infrastructure. Water-lean solvents are a part of an approach that aims to increase efficiency by reducing the water content in solution. Water-lean solvents such as GE's GAP/TEG are promising technologies, with potential to halve the parasitic load to a coal-fired power plant, only if high solution viscosities and hydrolysis of the siloxane moieties could be mitigated. We present here, an integrated multidisciplinary approach to overhaul the GAP/TEG solvent at the molecular level to mitigate hydrolysis and reduce viscosity. Molecular-level insights into chemical speciation of CO 2 -containing ions, show that co-solvents and diluents have a negligible effect on reducing viscosity and are not needed. This finding allowed for the design of single-component siloxane-free diamines with site-specific chemical moieties for direct placement and orientation of hydrogen bonding to reduce viscosity. Ultimately, we present new single-component diamine formulations less susceptible to hydrolysis that exhibit up to a 98% reduction in viscosity compared to the initial GAP/TEG formulation. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Despite international treaties designed to ban nerve agents, they continually resurface to cause harm to both civilian and military personnel worldwide. Herein, we report the synthesis of a UiO-66-NCS MOF from postsynthetic modification (PSM) of UiO- 66-NH 2 . The UiO-66-NCS MOF displays a ~20-fold increase in activity against the chemical warfare agent simulant dimethyl-4- nitrophenyl phosphate (DMNP) compared to UiO-66-NH 2 , making it the most active MOF materials as assessed using a previously validated high-throughput screening (HTS) method. More importantly, the -NCS functional groups provide reactive handles for postsynthetic polymerization (PSP) of these MOFs into functional materials. We show that these MOFs can be tethered to amine terminated polypropylene polymers (Jeffamines) through a facile room temperature synthesis with no byproducts. These MOFs are then crosslinked into a MOF-polythiourea (MOF-PTU) composite material that maintain the catalytic properties of the MOF and display the flexibility of the polymer. Ruboxistaurin molecular weight Furthermore, this MOF-PTU hybrid material was utilized as a spray coating onto Nyco textile fibers and displayed excellent adhesion to the fiber surface. Compared to physical mixture control experiments with UiO-66-PTU, the covalent UiO-66-NCS-PTU spray coating shows better compatibility and durability with the Nyco fibers. The spray coated fibers were screened for the degradation of DMNP and showed durable catalytic reactivity. © 2020 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

HED patients exhibit a variety of dental symptoms, such as hypodontia. Although disruption of the EDA/EDAR/EDARADD/NF-κB pathway is known to be responsible for HED, it remains unclear whether this pathway is involved in the process of enamel formation. EXPERIMENTAL SUBJECTS AND METHODS To address this question, we examined the mice overexpressing Ikkβ (an essential component required for the activation of NF-κB pathway) under the keratin 5 promoter (K5-Ikkβ). RESULTS Upregulation of the NF-κB pathway was confirmed in the ameloblasts of K5-Ikkβ mice. Premature abrasion was observed in the molars of K5-Ikkβ mice, which was accompanied by less mineralized enamel. However, no significant changes were observed in the enamel thickness and the pattern of enamel rods in K5-Ikkβ mice. Klk4 expression was significantly upregulated in the ameloblasts of K5-Ikkβ mice at the maturation stage, and the expression of its substrate, amelogenin, was remarkably reduced.
