Abstract
The calcium deposits and differentiation markers studied have demonstrated that shock waves increase osteoblast migration and penetration into scaffolds. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study may provide an important starting point for the introduction of shock waves to boost bone formation through osteobl...

Abstract
We proposed a facile, efficient, and cost-effective method whereby diverse carbohydrate types are modified in a single step and directly immobilized onto a glass surface, with retention of functional orientation. We modified various types of carbohydrates by reductive amination, in which reducing su...

Abstract
The control of the cell microenvironment on model patterned substrates allows the systematic study of cell biology in well defined conditions, potentially using automated systems. The extreme protein resistance of poly(oligo(ethylene glycol methacrylate)) (POEGMA) brushes is exploited to achieve hig...

Abstract
Recent versions of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)-based model eye for intraocular lens testing include an artificial cornea whose spherical aberration is chosen to match the value of a human cornea. Aspheric lenses have been used as artificial corneas, but they are expensiv...

Abstract
A method is presented for screening high-density arrays to discover peptides that bind and modulate enzyme activity. A polyvinyl alcohol solution was applied to array surfaces to limit the diffusion of product molecules released from enzymatic reactions, allowing the simultaneous measurement of enzy...

Abstract
The reuse of comminuted glass-fiber-reinforced resin with various granularities gathered from printed circuit manufacturing residues was investigated. As fillers, these residues were converted into polymeric composite board by an extrusion and injection process using polypropylene as a bonding agent...

Abstract
These results indicate that cryo-damaged canine sperm can be removed by treatment with GWF after freezing-thawing, and therefore, the GWF technique may be promising for successful ART in frozen-thawed canine sperm.

Abstract
I collagen. The experimental results showed that when compared with the normal flow, the swirling flow generated in the test tube significantly reduced the platelet adhesion to the surface of the test tube. Different from normal flow condition under which platelet adhesion increased simply with decr...

Abstract
We reported a method to fabricate fluorescent probes preferentially end-linked to Au nanorods. In comparison with organic dyes, the single nanocomplexes provide significant improvement in signal brightness. The bioconjugated nanoantenna structure implicates an approach that is more convenient and ame...

Abstract
We have observed fluorescence excitation and fluorescence spectra of two long-lived species generated by irradiation of UV light (230-400 nm). The dominant species responsible for the fluorescence spectrum between 470 and 600 nm was assigned to the S(1)-->S(0) (pipi*) transition of the keto form of...

Abstract
A Clark-type oxygen chip consisting of a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) reservoir containing an amino group-modified PDMS oxygen-permeable membrane (OPM) and a glass substrate containing a three-electrode detector has been constructed by using microfabrication techniques, and it is utilized for in situ...

Abstract
A novel, biocompatible sensing strategy based on graphene and chitosan composite film for immobilizing the hemoglobin protein was firstly adopted. The direct electron transfer and bioelectrocatalytic activity of hemoglobin after incorporation into the composite film were investigated. A pair of reve...

Abstract
A simple and facile synthetic method to incorporate copper sulfide (Cu(2)S) nanoparticles inside the mesopores of ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) is reported. The Cu(2)S/OMCs nanocomposite was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spe...

Abstract
These second tumors have convinced us that our initial caution in concluding GGO lesions can be cured by limited resection was very appropriate. The recurrences definitely indicate that continuing follow-up attention for more than 5 years is needed after limited resection even for GGO bronchioloalve...

Abstract
We studied the activity of human placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) constraint in a planar surface in controlled molecular packing conditions. For the first time, Langmuir films (LFs) were prepared by the spreading of purified placental membranes (PPM) on the air-water interface and their stabili...

Abstract
Many microorganisms produce extracellular polymers referred to collectively as "slime" or glycocalyx, and form biofilms on solid surfaces in natural ecosystems. Campylobacter jejuni, one of the most important foodborne pathogens, also has the ability to form biofilm on stainless steel, glass, or pol...

Abstract
The data confirms that the conversion of aluminium is a diffusion-controlled process at early stage less than 1h and it is largely complete between 1 and 6h. The comparison with the experimental data shows that the majority of aluminium cations do not form tricarboxylates but are coordinated with on...

Abstract
Due to poor drug candidate safety profiles that are often identified late in the drug development process, the clinical progression of new chemical entities to pharmaceuticals remains hindered, thus resulting in the high cost of drug discovery. To accelerate the identification of safer drug candidat...

Abstract
We probe dynamics with reorientation of single dye molecules spin-coated onto polymer films. Rotation jumps in transition dipole orientation are observed for approximately 30% of all single molecules. It is found for the first time that there are mainly three typical jumping patterns of orientation:...

Abstract
Local antibiotic delivery system has an advantage over systemic antibiotic for osteomyelitis treatment due to the delivery of high local antibiotic concentration while avoiding potential systemic toxicity. Composite biomaterials with multifunctional roles, consisting of a controlled antibiotic relea...

Abstract
This work investigated the effect of adding nanoparticulate (29 nm) bioactive glass particles on the bioactivity, degradation and in vitro cytocompatibility of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P(3HB)) composites/nano-sized bioactive glass (n-BG). Two different concentrations (10 and 20 wt %)...

Abstract
A 58-year-old patient presented with a dislodged crown and post and core on the maxillary right first premolar. After endodontic retreatment, two tapered glass-fiber posts were adhesively cemented. The core foundation was completed by retrofitting the existing crown with a self-curing composite core...
