The purpose of this study is to clarify physical and chemical changes in surfaces of CAD/CAM composites caused by alumina airborne-particle abrasion and its effect on adhesive bonding. Our study involved three dispersed filler (DF)-based and a polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (PICN)-based CAD/CAM composites. Changes in the surface morphologies of the composites were examined, and surface free energy (SFE) analysis was performed based on Owens-Wendt theory. The influence of the abrasion on the bond strengths of CAD/CAM composites to the resin cement was characterized by shear bond strength (SBS) test. The abrasion increased the roughness of the composites. The SFE analysis showed that the abrasion significantly increased the dispersive component but decreased the polar component of the SFE associated with the DF-based composites, while no change occurred for those of the PICN-based composite. The abrasion slightly improved the SBSs for the DF-based composites but not that of the PICN-based composite.This study tested and compared properties of six modern indirect veneering resin composites (VRC), namely Ceramage (Shofu), dialog Vario (Schütz Dental), Gradia Plus (GC Europe), injoy (Dentsply), Signum composite (Heraeus Kulzer), and SR Nexco (Ivoclar Vivadent). Specimens were fabricated from dentin and enamel pastes and following properties were analyzed (1) two-body wear (TB), (2) surface roughness (SR), (3) Martens hardness parameters (HM and EIT), and (4) translucency (T). The highest impact on HM and EIT was exerted by VRC brand (HM ηP2=0.960/ EIT ηP2=0.968; p less then 0.001), followed by VRC paste material (HM ηP2=0.502/ EIT ηP2=0.580; p less then 0.001), and aging duration (HM ηP2=0.157/ EIT ηP2=0.112; p less then 0.001). Lowest and highest TB were measured for Signum composite and dialog Vario, respectively (p less then 0.001). Highest T was showed Signum composite and Ceramage (p less then 0.001). VRCs should be individually selected with respect to the indication area, due to different surface properties.
Although diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common comorbidity of aortic stenosis (AS), clinical evidence about the long-term effect of DM on patients with AS is insufficient.Methods and ResultsData were acquired from CURRENT AS, a large Japanese multicenter registry that enrolled 3,815 patients with severe AS. Patients without initial valve replacement were defined as the conservative group; among them, 621 (23.4%) had DM, whereas 1997 did not. The DM group was further divided into 2 groups according to insulin treatment (insulin-treated DM, n=130; non-insulin treated DM, n=491). The primary outcome was a composite of aortic valve (AV)-related death and heart failure (HF) hospitalization. Secondary outcomes were AV-related death, HF hospitalization, all-cause death, cardiovascular death, sudden death, and surgical or transcatheter AV replacement during follow up. As a result, DM was associated with higher risk for the primary outcome (52.8% vs. 42.9%, P<0.001), with a statistically significant adjusted hazard ratio (HR 1.33, 95% confidence interval 1.14-1.56, P<0.001). All secondary outcomes were not significantly different between DM and non-DM patients after adjusting for confounding factors, except for HF hospitalization. Insulin use was not associated with higher incidence of primary or secondary outcome.

In initially conservatively managed patients with AS, DM was independently associated with higher risk for a composite of AV-related death or HF hospitalization; however, insulin use was not associated with poor outcomes.

Intercellular prosaposin is proteolytically processed into four saposins, each of which acts as a sphingolipid hydrolase activator in the lysosome. MYCi361 mouse In contrast, extracellular prosaposin exerts a trophic effect on neurons via GPR37 and GPR37L1. In this study, the expression patterns of GPR37 and GPR37L1 in the mouse digestive system were examined immunohistochemically. The islets of Langerhans of the pancreas showed intense immunoreactivity for GPR37 and GPR37L1. Weak immunoreactivity for GPR37 and GPR37L1 was found in the nerve plexuses of the esophagus and small and large intestines. Colocalization of GPR37 and tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity was observed in the neuron of the nerve plexus of the large intestine. This study suggests the possibility that prosaposin affects the function of islet-secreting cells. Also, the expression of GPR37 and GPR37L1 in the nerve plexus suggests that prosaposin exerts a trophic effect not only in the central nervous system, but also in the enteric nervous system.The present study used intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) in 10 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 7-day outpatient treatment with the combination of intensive insulin therapy and sodium-glucose transporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2-I). All participants wore isCGM and were treated with either 50 mg/day ipragliflozin or 5 mg/day dapagliflozin. The primary outcome, percent time with glucose at 70-180 mg/dL (TIR time in range), improved significantly following the addition of SGLT2-I (p = 0.005). TIR increased from 36.0% before addition of SGLT2-I to 70.7% on day 7. Although none of the patients achieved TIR of 70% or higher before the addition of SGLT2-I, 6 patients met that criteria TIR on day 7. The secondary outcome measures, standard deviation (SD) of glucose, average plasma glucose, percent time with glucose at >180 mg/dL (TAR time above range), maximum plasma glucose, high blood glucose index (HBGI) and average nocturnal plasma glucose (midnight to 0559 AM) detected by isCGM, also improved significantly by SGLT2-I. There were no significant differences in percent time with glucose at less then 70 mg/dL (TBR time below range), minimum plasma glucose and low blood glucose index (LBGI). Our results using isCGM in an actual clinical setting showed that 7-day use of SGLT2-I with intensive insulin therapy improved plasma glucose fluctuations and mean plasma glucose levels without inducing hypoglycemia in patients with T1DM.
