Abstract: Objective: There is a growing interest in using pre-heated composites instead of dual-cured cements when luting indirect restorations. This study evaluated the film thickness obtained from two pre-heated composites and two resin cements, by two different operators. The influence of the materials and the level of expertise of the operator were analyzed.Materials and methods: Forty specimens of human dentin and composite discs were prepared and divided into four groups depending on the luting process. Each group was randomly equally divided to be handled by two operators with different levels of experience. Two of the initial four groups were luted using dual-cured cements and the two remaining groups using light-cured pre-heated composites. Specimen discs were cut after luting, and film thickness was measured using a Digital microscope. Data were analyzed using a 2-way ANOVA with the Holm-Sidak pairwise multiple comparison procedure (p < 0.05). Results: Mean film thickness ranged from 156.16 ± 4.7 to 33.82 ± 0.7 μm. Significant differences (p < 0.001) were noticed between expert and novice results with pre-heated composites. Conclusion: Within the limits of this study, using pre-heated composites as a luting cement requires a better level of expertise to achieve a clinically acceptable film thickness. Clinical significance: Using pre-heated composites as luting agent for indirect restorations requires an experimented skill level to achieve a clinically recommended film thickness. Keywords: film thickness; luting cements; operator expertise level; pre-heated resin composites.

Abstract: There is growing evidence that liver transplantation (LT) is the most effective treatment for acute-on-chronic liver failure grade-3 (ACLF-3). This study examines whether and how this evidence translates into practice by analyzing the variability in intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, listing strategies, and LT activity for patients with ACLF-3 across transplantation centers in Europe. Consecutive patients who were admitted to the ICU with ACLF-3, whether or not they were listed and/or transplanted with ACLF-3, between 2018 and 2019 were included across 20 transplantation centers. A total of 351 patients with ACLF-3 were included: 33 had been listed prior to developing ACLF-3 and 318 had not been listed at the time of admission to the ICU. There was no correlation between the number of unlisted patients with ACLF-3 admitted to the ICU and the number listed or transplanted while in ACLF-3 across centers. By contrast, there was a correlation between the number of patients listed and the number transplanted while in ACLF-3. About 21% of patients who were listed while in ACLF-3 died on the waiting list or were delisted. The percentage of LT for patients with ACLF-3 varied from 0% to 29% for those transplanted with decompensated cirrhosis across centers (average = 8%), with an I(2) index of 68% (95% confidence interval, 49%-80%), showing substantial heterogeneity among centers. The 1-year survival for all patients with ACLF-3 was significantly higher in centers that listed and transplanted more patients with ACLF-3 (>10 patients) than in centers that listed and transplanted fewer: 36% versus 20%, respectively (p = 0.012). Patients with ACLF-3 face inequity of access to LT across Europe. Waitlisting strategies for patients with ACLF-3 influence their access to LT and, ultimately, their survival.

Abstract: This paper investigates the influence of cavity configuration and post-endodontic restoration on the fracture resistance, failure mode and stress distribution of premolars by using a method of fracture failure test and finite elements analysis (FEA) coupled to Weibull analysis (WA). One hundred premolars were divided into one control group (Gcontr) (n = 10) and three experimental groups, according to the post-endodontic restoration (n = 30), G1, restored using composite, G2, restored using single fiber post and G3, restored using multifilament fiberglass posts (m-FGP) without post-space preparation. Each experimental group was divided into three subgroups according to the type of coronal cavity configuration (n = 10): G1O, G2O, and G3O with occlusal (O) cavity configuration; G1MO, G2MO, and G3MO with mesio-occlusal (MO); and G1MOD, G2MOD, and G3MOD with mesio-occluso-distal (MOD). After thermomechanical aging, all the specimens were tested under compression load, and failure mode was determined. FEA and WA supplemented destructive tests. Data were statistically analyzed. Irrespective of residual tooth substance, G1 and G2 exhibited lower fracture resistance than Gcontr (p < 0.05), whereas G3 showed no difference compared to Gcontr (p > 0.05). Regarding the type of restoration, no difference was highlighted between G1O and G2O, G1MO and G2MO, or G1MOD and G2MOD (p > 0.05), whereas G3O, G3MO, and G3MOD exhibit higher fracture resistance (p < 0.05) than G1O and G2O, G1MO and G2MO, and G1MOD and G2MOD, respectively. Regarding cavity configuration: in G1 and G2, G1O and G2O exhibited higher fracture resistance than G1MOD and G2MOD, respectively (p < 0.05). In G3, there was no difference among G3O, G3MO and G3MOD (p > 0.05). No difference was found among the different groups and subgroups regarding the failure mode. After aging, premolars restored with multifilament fiberglass posts demonstrated fracture resistance values comparable to those of an intact tooth, irrespective of the different type of cavity configuration. Keywords: fracture resistance; multifilament fiberglass posts; single fiber post.

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of the mechanical properties of three different calcium-silicate-based cements on the stress distribution of three different retrograde cavity preparations. Biodentine™ “BD”, MTA Biorep “BR”, and Well-Root™ PT “WR” were used. The compression strengths of ten cylindrical samples of each material were tested. The porosity of each cement was investigated by using micro-computed X-ray tomography. Finite element analysis (FEA) was used to simulate three retrograde conical cavity preparations with an apical diameter of 1 mm (Tip I), 1.4 mm (Tip II), and 1.8 mm (Tip III) after an apical 3 mm resection. BR demonstrated the lowest compression strength values (17.6 ± 5.5 MPa) and porosity percentages (0.57 ± 0.14%) compared to BD (80 ± 17 MPa–1.22 ± 0.31%) and WR (90 ± 22 MPa–1.93 ± 0.12%) (p < 0.05). FEA demonstrated that the larger cavity preparation demonstrated higher stress distribution in the root whereas stiffer cement demonstrated lower stress in the root but higher stress in the material. We can conclude that a respected root end preparation associated with cement with good stiffness could offer optimal endodontic microsurgery. Further studies are needed to define the adapted cavity diameter and cement stiffness in order to have optimal mechanical resistance with less stress distribution in the root.

Abstract: The COVID‐19 pandemic extended all around the world causing millions of deaths. In addition to acute respiratory distress syndrome, many patients with severe COVID‐19 develop thromboembolic complications associated to multiorgan failure and death. Here, we review evidence for the contribution of neutrophils, platelets, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) to the thromboinflammatory process in COVID‐19. We discuss how the immune system, influenced by pro‐inflammatory molecules, EVs, and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), can be caught out in patients with severe outcomes. We highlight how the deficient regulation of the innate immune system favors platelet activation and induces a vicious cycle amplifying an immunothrombogenic environment associated with platelet/NET interactions. In light of these considerations, we discuss potential therapeutic strategies underlining the modulation of purinergic signaling as an interesting target.

Abstract: New procedures envisioned for dental pulp regeneration after pulpectomy include cell homing strategy. It involves host endogenous stem cell recruitment and activation. To meet this cell-free approach, we need to design a relevant scaffold to support cell migration from tissues surrounding the dental root canal. A composite membrane made of electrospun poly(lactic acid) nanofibers and electrosprayed polycaprolactone with tannic acid (TA) microparticles which mimics the architecture of the extracellular matrix was first fabricated. After rolling the membrane in the form of a 3D conical scaffold and subsequently coating it with gelatin, it can be directly inserted into the root canal. The porous morphology of the construct was characterized by SEM at different length scales. It was shown that TA was released from the 3D conical scaffold after 2 days in PBS at 37 °C. Biocompatibility studies were first assessed by seeding human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) on planar membranes coated or not coated with gelatin to compare the surfaces. After 24 h, the results highlighted that the gelatin-coating increased the membrane biocompatibility and cell viability. Similar DPSC morphology and proliferation on both membrane surfaces were observed. The culture of DPSCs on conical scaffolds showed cell colonization in the whole cone volume, proving that the architecture of the conical scaffold was suitable for cell migration.

Abstract: Este artículo se encuentra disponible en la siguiente URL: https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/11/22/6754 Este artículo de investigación pertenece al número especial "Current Topics in Endodontics". En este artículo de investigación también participan: Frédéric Addiego, Francesco Inchingolo, Youssef Haikel y Davide Mancino. The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the compressive strength and the bulk porosity of a bidirectional (bFRC) and an experimental bidirectional spiral winding reinforced fiber composite (bswFRC). Cylindrical-shape specimens were prepared for each material group and processed for the evaluation of compressive strength after different storage conditions (dry, 1 and 3 months) in distilled water at 37 C. The specimens were also assessed for the degree of bulk porosity through X-ray tomography. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to determine the fracture mode after a compressive strength test. Data were statistically analyzed using Two-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). A significantly lower compressive strength was obtained in dry conditions, and after 1 month of water immersion, with the specimens created with bFRC compared to those made with bswFRC (p < 0.05). No significant difference (p > 0.05) was found between the two groups after 3 months of water immersion. However, the presence of water jeopardized significantly the compressive strength of bswFRC after water storage. The type of fracture was clearly different between the two groups; bswFRC showed a brutal fracture, whilst bFRC demonstrated a shear fracture. The bswFRC demonstrated higher pore volume density than bFRC. In conclusion, bswFRC is characterized by greater compressive strength compared to bFRC in dry conditions, but water-aging can significantly decrease the mechanical properties of such an innovative FRC. Therefore, both the novel bidirectional spiral winding reinforced fiber composites (bswFRC) and the bidirectional fiber reinforced composites (bFRC) might represent suitable materials for the production of post-and-core systems via CAD/CAM technology. These findings suggest that both FRC materials have the potential to strengthen the endodontically treated teeth.

Abstract: International audience; The engineering of skeletal muscle tissue, a highly organized structure of myotubes, is promising for the treatment of muscle injuries and muscle diseases, for replacement or pharmacology research. Muscle tissue development involves differentiation of myoblasts into myotubes with parallel orientation, to ultimately form aligned myofibers, which is challenging to achieve on flat surfaces. In this work, we designed hydrogen-bonded tannic acid/collagen layer-by-layer (TA/COL LbL) nanofilms using a simple brushing method to address this issue. In comparison to films obtained by the dipping, brushed TA/COL films showed oriented COL fibers of 60 nm diameter along the brushing direction. Built at acidic pH due to COL solubility, TA/COL films released TA in physiological conditions with a minor loss of thickness. After characterization of COL fibers orientation, human myoblasts (C25CL48) were seeded on the oriented TA/COL film, ended by COL. After 12 days in a differentiation medium without any other supplement, human myoblasts were able to align on brushed TA/COL films and to differentiate into long aligned myotubes (from hundreds of nm up to 1.7 mm length) thanks to two distinct properties: (i) the orientation of COL fibers guiding myoblasts alignment, and (ii) the TA release favoring the differentiation. This simple and potent brushing process allows the development of anisotropic tissues in vitro which can be used for studies of drug discovery and screening or the replacement of damaged tissue.

Abstract: International audience; The most used etchant in dental daily practice is the phosphoric acid (P.A.; 37%). However, acid etchants can induce necrosis on the oral mucosa and cause the ulceration of periodontal tissue when a rubber dam is not used. V-prep is a new practical alternative, and it has satisfactory results. It is used as a preparation before the application of a resin-modified glass ionomer composite (RMGIC) to bond the orthodontic brackets. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the V-prep on oral gingival fibroblasts cells by comparing the cell damage and cell viability after the use of V-prep and a conventional phosphoric acid etchant with different application times and concentrations. Therefore, Gingival fibroblasts passage 6 (GFP6) was grown and treated with an acid etchant and V-prep at three different concentrations (1:1, 1:2 and 1:10) for two different application durations (30 s and 1 min). The morphological changes, cell death and cell viability were assessed. Pyknosis, karyolysis, nucleus reversible and irreversible damages and membrane destruction were observed for both of the etchants at the higher concentrations and longer application durations. Mann-Whitney Utests were used for the statistical analyses. The application of the V-prep for 30 s showed better values than the acid etchant did in the cell damage analysis and cell viability analysis (p = 0.03). V-prep at a 1:10 concentration applied for a 30 s duration can preserve the viability of gingival fibroblasts cells up to 100%. The toxicity of V-prep is equal or lower than the toxicity of the acid etchant that is commonly used in dentistry. Thus, the V-prep can be used with precautions intra-orally, and it should be applied on the enamel as a gel for 30 s only before it is rinsed and removed.

Abstract: In this study, some physicochemical and antibacterial properties of three root canal filling materials for primary teeth, Calplus “CP” (Prevest DenPro, Lewes, DE, USA), Bio-C Pulpecto “Bio-CP” (Angelus, Basil, Londrina, Paraná, Brazil), and Zinc Oxide and Eugenol “ZOE” (Prevest DenPro, Lewes, DE, USA) were compared. For each material, the pH, solubility, contact angle, and crystalline microstructure under SEM were evaluated. Their antibacterial activity against Enterococcus faecalis was determined through direct tests. The Kruskal–Wallis test was used to analyze the results using a one-way analysis of variance on ranks. All the materials had an alkaline pH at 3, 24, and 72 h, with CalPlus having the highest (p < 0.05). Bio-CP was more soluble during the evaluation period (24 h) than ZOE and CalPlus (p < 0.05). Bio-CP and ZOE demonstrated the creation of crystallite structures on their surfaces after immersion in PBS at 37 °C, whereas CalPlus showed none. The lowest contact angle was observed for Bio-CP (53 ± 1.5°); contact angles of (86 ± 4°) and (96 ± 1°), respectively, were observed after 10 s of the deposition of the water drop for CalPlus and ZOE. In conclusion, according to this study, there is still a need to develop new filling materials for primary teeth. ZOE, CalPlus and Bio-CP demonstrated different physicochemical and antibacterial properties, but none of the materials had optimal properties and could be considered the most suitable filling material for primary teeth pulpectomy. Bioceramics in their current state are not an alternative. The physicochemical and antibacterial properties still need improvement to fit the intricate anatomy of primary teeth.

Abstract: Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the prognostic value of pre-operative imaging to predict post-transplantation survival in critically ill cirrhotic patients with severe acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). Methods: Patients with grade 3 ACLF who underwent liver transplantation between January 2010 and January 2020 and with available contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) performed less than 3 months before LT were retrospectively included (n = 82). Primary endpoint was 1-year mortality. Imaging parameters (sarcopenia, liver morphology and volumetry, and signs of portal hypertension) were screened and tested to build a prognostic score. Results: In the multivariate analysis, three independent CT-derived prognostic factors were found: splenomegaly (p = 0.021; HR = 5.6 (1.29-24.1)), liver atrophy (p = 0.05; HR = 2.93 (1.01-10.64)), and vena cava diameter ratio (p < 0.0001; HR = 12.7 (3.4-92)). A simple prognostic score was proposed, based on the presence of splenomegaly (5 points), liver atrophy (5 points), and vena cava diameter ratio < 0.2 (12 points). A cutoff at 10 points distinguished a high-risk group (score > 10) from a low-risk group (score ≤ 10) with 1-year survival of 27% vs. 67% respectively (p < 0.001). It was found to be an independent predictive factor in association with the Transplantation for ACLF3 Model (TAM) score. Conclusion: Pre-transplantation contrast-enhanced abdominal CT has a significant impact on selection of patients in ACLF3 in order to predict 1-year survival after LT. Key points: • Splenomegaly, liver atrophy, and vena cava diameter ratio are independent CT-derived prognostic factors after transplantation for severe acute-on-chronic liver failure. • A simple CT-based prognostic score is an independent predictive factor, complementary to clinical and biological parameters. • The use of the CT-derived score allows stratification based on 1-year mortality for patients with otherwise uncertain prognosis with clinical and biological parameters alone. Keywords: Acute-on-chronic liver failure; Liver transplantation; Tomography.

Abstract: The increasing resistance to antibiotic treatments highlights the need for the development of new antimicrobial agents. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been studied to be used in clinical settings for the treatment of infections. Endogenous AMPs represent the first line defense of the innate immune system against pathogens; they also positively interfere with infection-associated inflammation. Interestingly, AMPs influence numerous biological processes, such as the regulation of the microbiota, wound healing, the induction of adaptive immunity, the regulation of inflammation, and finally express anti-cancer and cytotoxic properties. Numerous peptides identified in chromaffin secretory granules from the adrenal medulla possess antimicrobial activity: they are released by chromaffin cells during stress situations by exocytosis via the activation of the hypothalamo-pituitary axis. The objective of the present review is to develop complete informations including (i) the biological characteristics of the AMPs produced after the natural processing of chromogranins A and B, proenkephalin-A and free ubiquitin, (ii) the design of innovative materials and (iii) the involvement of these AMPs in human diseases. Some peptides are elective biomarkers for critical care medicine, may play an important role in the protection of infections (alone, or in combination with others or antibiotics), in the prevention of nosocomial infections, in the regulation of intestinal mucosal dynamics and of inflammation. They could play an important role for medical implant functionalization, such as catheters, tracheal tubes or oral surgical devices, in order to prevent infections after implantation and to promote the healing of tissues.

Methods and materials: This retrospective study reviewed 11 consecutive patients with head and neck cancer recurrence after primary treatment by surgery and radiotherapy, treated with cryoablation between 2016 and 2020. Efficacy was measured by local control rate evaluated on MRI or/and PET. Tumor characteristics, number of cryoprobes, thermoprotective measures and complications were documented. Results: Sixteen cryoablation procedures were performed in 11 patients with head and neck cancer recurrence after surgery or radiotherapy, deemed ineligible for classic salvage treatment. Among 11 patients, four were treated for an epidermoid carcinoma, four for an adenocarcinoma and three for other types: 1 muco-epidermoid carcinoma, 1 adenoid cystic carcinoma and 1 esthesioneuroblastoma, 10/11 patients had prior surgery, 7/11 patients had prior chemotherapy and 3/11 patients had prior radiotherapy. Median number of cryoprobes was 4, [IQR, 3-6 cryoprobes], thermoprotective measures to protect surrounding organs were required for 10/16 procedures. After cryoablation, local control rate was 45.4% at a mean follow-up of 11.7 months (range 3-34 months). Among the 16 cryoablation procedures, four resulted in complications, two were considered major complications: one septic shock on inhalation pneumopathy during extubation, requiring intensive care; and one dysphonia due to a recurrent nerve injury. Conclusion: Cryoablation as a salvage treatment for recurrence of head and neck tumors after surgery and/or radiotherapy is an effective option, especially for patients that cannot benefit from salvage surgery.

Abstract: Drug discovery and toxicology is a complex process that involves considerable basic research and preclinical evaluation. These depend highly on animal testing which often fails to predict human trial outcomes due to species differences. Coupled with ethical concerns around animal testing, this leads to a high demand for improved in vitro cell culture platforms. Current research efforts, in this regard, however, are facing a challenge to provide physiologically relevant in vitro human organ models for a reliable assessment of the physiological responses of the body to drug compounds and toxins. The latest development in in vitro cell culture models, organ-on-chips (OOCs), seek to introduce more realistic models of organ function. Current OOCs often use commercial porous polymeric membranes as a barrier membrane for cell culture which is challenging due to the poor replication of the physiological architectures. Better recapitulation of the native basement membrane (BM) characteristics is desirable for modelling physical (e.g. intestine, skin and lung) and metabolic (e.g. liver) barrier models. In this review, the relevance of the physical and mechanical properties of the membrane to cell and system behaviour is elucidated. Key parameters for replicating the BM are also described. This review provides information for future development of barrier organ models focusing on BM-mimicking substrates as a core structure.

Abstract: Background and purpose COVID‐19 affects the brain in various ways, amongst which delirium is worrying. An assessment was made of whether a specific, long‐lasting, COVID‐19‐related brain injury develops in acute respiratory distress syndrome patients after life‐saving re‐oxygenation. Methods Ten COVID+ patients (COVID+) with unusual delirium associated with neuroimaging suggestive of diffuse brain injury and seven controls with non‐COVID encephalopathy were studied. The assessment took place when the intractable delirium started at weaning off ventilation support. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed followed by standard cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analyses and assessment of CSF erythropoietin concentrations (as a marker for the assessment of tissue repair), and of non‐targeted CSF metabolomics using liquid chromatography high resolution mass spectrometry. Results Patients were similar as regards severity scores, but COVID+ were hospitalized longer (25 [11.75; 25] vs. 9 [4.5; 12.5] days, p = 0.03). On admission, but not at MRI and lumbar puncture performance, COVID+ were more hypoxic (p = 0.002). On MRI, there were leptomeningeal enhancement and diffuse white matter haemorrhages only in COVID+. In the latter, CSF erythropoietin concentration was lower (1.73 [1.6; 2.06] vs. 3.04 [2.9; 3.91] mIU/ml, p = 0.01), and CSF metabolomics indicated (a) increased compounds such as foodborne molecules (sesquiterpenes), molecules from industrialized beverages and micro‐pollutants (diethanolamine); and (b) decreased molecules such as incomplete breakdown products of protein catabolism and foodborne molecules (glabridin). At 3‐month discharge, fatigue, anxiety and depression as well as MRI lesions persisted in COVID+. Conclusions Some COVID+ are at risk of a specific delirium. Imperfect brain repair after re‐oxygenation and lifestyle factors might influence long‐lasting brain injuries in a context of foodborne micro‐pollutants., This explorative cohort study suggests that life‐saving re‐oxygenation of COVID+ patients is possibly followed by an incomplete brain repair as indicated by magnetic resonance imaging and low cerebrospinal fluid erythropoietin (CSF EPO) concentrations. In addition, non‐targeted metabolomics analysis identified the presence of many perturbed metabolites during COVID‐induced delirium, including biomarkers for the consumption of specific food and intermediate factors that have tangible impact on inflammatory pathways.

Abstract: Human brain connectome studies aim to both explore healthy brains, and extract and analyze relevant features associated with pathologies of interest. Usually this consists of modeling the brain connectome as a graph and using graph metrics as features. A fine brain description requires graph metrics computation at the node level. Given the relatively reduced number of patients in standard cohorts, such data analysis problems fall in the high-dimension, low-sample-size framework. In this context, our goal is to provide a machine learning technique that exhibits flexibility, gives the investigator an understanding of the features and covariates, allows visualization and exploration, and yields insight into the data and the biological phenomena at stake. The retained approach is dimension reduction in a manifold learning methodology; the originality is that the investigator chooses one (or several) reduced variables. The proposed method is illustrated in two studies. The first one addresses comatose patients; the second one compares young and elderly populations. The method sheds light on the differences between brain connectivity graphs using graph metrics and potential clinical interpretations of these differences., Author Summary Human brain connectome studies aim to both explore healthy brains, and extract and analyze relevant features associated with pathologies of interest.

Abstract: Introduction: Some dental adhesive systems require an etching step using phosphoric acid in order to prepare dentin and enamel surfaces. This treatment modifies the surface characteristics and the chemical compositions of these hard tissues. Objectives: The aim of this in vitro study was to analyze chemical and microscopic effects of acid etching with rubbing technique on dental tissues. Material and methods: Sixteen extracted teeth were obtained. Two etching techniques (with and without rubbing) were used to treat the enamel and dentin surfaces. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) were used to evaluate morphological and chemical changes of the enamel and dentin surfaces. Collected data were statistically analyzed by c 2 and Mann-Whitney rank sum tests. Results: The enamel that was etched with rubbing technique for 30 s showed a great dissolution at inter-prismatic enamel level. The dentin, which was etched with rubbing technique for 15 s, revealed a larger tubules diameter and more open tubules than without rubbing technique. There were more silica particles on dentin etched by rubbing than without rubbing technique. Chemical analyses (EDX) showed that a dental surface etched using 37% phosphoric acid with rubbing technique revealed a surface rich in calcium, with a Ca/P ratio = 1.66 ± 0.05 near to Ca/P ratio = 1.67 of hydroxyapatite. Conclusions: Although phosphoric acid cleans the dental surface, it causes salts precipitation on the etched dental surface; these salts can be removed more efficiently by rubbing the acid and rinsing it, providing an optimal interface for the bonding.

Abstract: Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate torsional, dynamic, and static cyclic fatigue resistance of the reciprocating One RECI (OR; Micromega, Besançon, France), WaveOne Gold (WOG; Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland), rotary One Curve (OC, MicroMega), and ProTaper Next X2 (PTN X2; Dentsply Sirona, Charlotte, NC) instruments. Methods: A total of 120 OR (n = 30), WOG (n = 30), OC (n = 30), and PTN X2 (n = 30) nickel-titanium instruments were used. Torque and rotation angle until failure under static torsion loading were measured according to ISO 3630-1. Static and dynamic fatigue resistance was measured as the time to fracture in an artificial stainless steel canal with a 60° angle and 5-mm radius of curvature at intracanal temperature. The results were analyzed with 1-way analysis of variance and the post hoc Tukey test. The alpha-type error was set at 5%. Fracture instruments from torsion and fatigue tests were examined with a scanning electron microscope. Results: OR showed higher static fatigue resistance and rotation angle at fracture than WOG, OC, and PTN X2 (P < .05). WOG exhibited higher torsional resistance than the others (P < .05). The cyclic fatigue tests in dynamic mode had higher TTF than static for the PTN X2 and WOG groups (P < .05). In the dynamic tests, OR and WOG showed higher TTF than OC and PTN X2 (P < .05). Conclusions: Under these experimental conditions, One RECI exhibited suitable mechanical properties with the highest cyclic fatigue resistance and angle of rotation among the tested instruments. Keywords: Continuous rotation; One RECI; cyclic fatigue resistance; reciprocating motion; torsional resistance.

Abstract: International audience; An overview on the design of nitric oxide (NO) delivering surfaces for biomedical purposes is provided, with a focus on the advances of the past 5 years. A localized supply of NO is of a particular interest due to the pleiotropic biological effects of this diatomic compound. Depending on the generated NO flux, the surface can mimic a physiological release profile to provide an activity on the vascular endothelium or an antibacterial activity. Three requirements are considered to describe the various strategies leading to a surface delivering NO. Firstly, the coating must be selected in accordance with the properties of the substrate (nature, shape, dimensions…). Secondly, the releasing and/or generating kinetics of NO should match the targeted biological application. Currently, the most promising structures are developed to provide an adaptable NO supply driven by pathophysiological needs. Finally, the biocompatibility and the stability of the surface must also be considered regarding the expected residence time of the device. A critical point of view is proposed to help readers in the design of the NO delivering surface according to its expected requirement and therapeutic purpose.

Abstract: International audience; ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to assess the filling quality of five obturation techniques in oval-shaped root canals.Materials and methodsA total of 212 mandibular first molars with one distal oval canal were selected. Distal canals, shaped with WaveOne Gold Primary, were randomly divided in five groups (n = 40) for obturation: continuous wave condensation, GuttaCore, Thermafil, single cone with AH plus, and single cone with BioRoot RCS. The proportions of gutta-percha-filled areas (GPFA), sealer-filled areas (SFA), void areas (VA), and the sealer/gutta tags into dentinal tubules at 4 mm and 2 mm from the apex were analyzed by an optical numeric microscope, SEM, and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX). Data were then compared by Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA on ranks (α = 0.05).ResultsAt 4 mm, a statistically significant higher GPFA and lower SFA were observed in the GuttaCore and Thermafil groups compared with the 3 other groups. A statistically significant lower VA was observed in the continuous wave condensation, GuttaCore, and Thermafil groups than in the two single-cone groups. At 2 mm, there were a statistically significant higher GPFA and lower SFA and VA in GuttaCore and Thermafil groups than in the 3 other groups. At the two levels investigated, the presence of gutta-percha tags was clearly demonstrated for GuttaCore and Thermafil groups; no tags were observed in the 3 other groups.ConclusionsObturation quality was overall improved in GuttaCore and Thermafil groups.Clinical relevanceCarrier-based techniques may significantly improve the filling quality compared to continuous wave condensation and single-cone technique. The single-cone technique might have inherent limitations especially in oval root canals regardless of the sealer used.

Abstract: Background: MRI is the modality of choice for the imaging of facial neuritis. Previously, gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted imaging of the petrous bone, then FLAIR sequences were thought to be most informative for acute facial neuritis imaging. The aim of this study is to evaluate the value of contrast-enhanced T2-weighted sequence for the diagnosis of acute facial neuritis and compare it to contrast-enhanced T1-weighted and FLAIR sequences. Methods: We included 50 patients with an acute unilateral idiopathic peripheral facial neuritis. An MRI (3 T) with three sequences was performed (T1-weighted, T2-weighted and FLAIR), all acquired after intravenous contrast-media injection. Results: The contrast-enhanced T2-weighted sequence appeared to be the most accurate one for the diagnosis of acute facial neuritis (Se 94%, Sp 100%, accuracy 98.2%, p < 0.001), with a pathological facial nerve strongly (grade 2-3) enhancing and a homogenous enhancement along the course of the entire facial nerve. Contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (Se 80%, Sp 100%, accuracy 94.1%) and FLAIR sequences (92%, Sp 88%, accuracy 90%, p < 0.001) showed lower accuracy. On T1-weighted sequence, a strong enhancement (blurred margins) of the canalicular segment was observed in 80% of the cases when it was never observed in normal nerves. Conclusion: A strong (= iso to hyperintense to the petrous fat signal) and diffuse (all segments) enhancement of the facial nerve on T2-weighted steady-state free precession sequence is a sensitive and specific sign for the diagnosis of acute idiopathic facial neuritis, and appears superior to T1WI and FLAIR sequences.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to produce a prognostic model to help predict posttransplant survival in patients transplanted with grade-3 acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF-3). Patients with ACLF-3 who underwent liver transplantation (LT) between 2007 and 2017 in 5 transplant centers were included (n = 152). Predictors of 1-year mortality were retrospectively screened and tested on a single center training cohort and subsequently tested on an independent multicenter cohort composed of the 4 other centers. Four independent pretransplant risk factors were associated with 1-year mortality after transplantation in the training cohort: age ≥53 years (P = .044), pre-LT arterial lactate level ≥4 mml/L (P = .013), mechanical ventilation with PaO2 /FiO2 ≤ 200 mm Hg (P = .026), and pre-LT leukocyte count ≤10 G/L (P = .004). A simplified version of the model was derived by assigning 1 point to each risk factor: the transplantation for Aclf-3 model (TAM) score. A cut-off at 2 points distinguished a high-risk group (score >2) from a low-risk group (score ≤2) with 1-year survival of 8.3% vs 83.9% respectively (P

Abstract: The deposition of polyelectrolyte multilayers, obtained by the layer-by-layer (LbL) method, is a well-established technology to design biocompatible and antibacterial coatings aimed at preventing implant-associated infections. Several types of LbL films have been reported to exhibit antiadhesive and/or antibacterial (contact-killing or release-killing) properties governed not only by the incorporated compounds but also by their buildup conditions or their postbuildup treatments. Tannic acid (TA), a natural polyphenol, is known to inhibit the growth of several bacterial strains. In this work, we developed TA/collagen (TA/COL) LbL films built in acetate or citrate buffers at pH 4. Surprisingly, the used buffer impacts not only the physicochemical but also the antibacterial properties of the films. When incubated in physiological conditions, both types of TA/COL films released almost the same amount of TA depending on the last layer and showed an antibacterial effect against Staphylococcus aureus only for citrate-built films. Because of their granular topography, TA/COL citrate films exhibited an efficient release-killing effect with no cytotoxicity toward human gingival fibroblasts. Emphasis is put on a comprehensive evaluation of the physicochemical parameters driving the buildup and the antibacterial property of citrate films. Specifically, complexation strengths between TA and COL are different in the presence of the two buffers affecting the LbL deposition. This work constitutes an important step toward the use of polyphenols as an antibacterial agent when incorporated in LbL films.

Abstract: Background. The adhesion of composite resins to the dentin substrate is influenced by the treatment of the smear layer. While etch-and-rinse systems require dentin to be conditioned with phosphoric acid, self-etching systems preserve the smear layer by incorporating it into the adhesive layer. Objectives. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of etching with the rubbing technique on the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) of a universal adhesive to dentin. Material and methods. Eighteen extracted teeth were selected. Two etch-and-rinse techniques (with and without rubbing) and a self-etching technique were used to bond the dentin surfaces with a universal adhesive system. After 24 h, the bonded samples were prepared for the μTBS testing. The specimens were loaded with a tensile force at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min until failure. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses were used to reveal the failure modes. The data were statistically analyzed with the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and χ2 tests. Results. The etch-and-rinse system with rubbing produced significantly lower bond strength (42.11 ±9.26 MPa,) than the etch-and-rinse system without rubbing (47.30 ±8.12 MPa) and significantly higher bond strength than the self-etching system (38.07 ±9.49 MPa). Conclusions. Under the conditions of this study, dentin etched with phosphoric acid for 3 s in the etchand-rinse mode with the rubbing technique for a universal adhesive system decreases the μTBS of the composite to dentin.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate and compare, radiographically and clinically, the impacts of calcium-silicate based-cement (CSBC), nano-hydroxyapatite and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) as pulpotomy agents in permanent immature molars with incomplete root development. Sixty-three participants (63 permanent immature molars) were included in this study. The patients were randomly divided into three equal groups. Fast setting MTA (MM-MTA), nano-hydroxyapatite and platelet-rich fibrin were used as pulpotomy agents. The teeth were evaluated clinically and radiographically after 6 and 12 months by two blinded examiners. Apical closure and pulp canal obliteration percentages were recorded. The in vitro reaction of the tested materials after a 7-day immersion period of the different materials in phosphate-buffered solution was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy to associate the in vitro mineralization with in vivo pulp canal obliteration percentages. Data were analyzed using Chi-square and ANOVA tests (α = 0.05). No significant difference was found between the three tested groups in terms of clinical and radiographic success (p > 0.05). All cases demonstrated evidence of root growth, including complete apical closure or continued apical closure. At 12 months, complete apical closure was found among the MM-MTA group (50%), nano-hydroxyapatite group (55%) and platelet-rich fibrin group (60%) (p > 0.05). After 12 months, pulp canal obliteration was more observed in the MM-MTA and nano-hydroxyapatite groups than in the PRF group (p < 0.05). MM-MTA (auto-mixed), NHA (hand-mixed) and PRF (autologous) could be used as pulpotomy agents since they exhibit comparable high clinical and radiographic success rates. However, the fact that the groups managed with MM-MTA and NHA have a higher tendency to canal obliteration might indicate that PRF should be considered the first choice material as pulpotomy agent, as it would make retreatment considerably easier.

As estrogen receptor alpha (Erα encoded by Esr1), and more precisely membrane ERα, plays an important role in FMD in young mice in a ligand-independent fashion, we evaluated its influence on this arteriolar function in ageing. We first confirmed that in young (6-month-old) mice, FMD of mesenteric resistance arteries was reduced in Esr1−/− (lacking ERα) and C451A-ERα (lacking membrane ERα). In old (24-month-old) mice, FMD was reduced in WT mice compared to young mice, whereas it was not further decreased in Esr1−/− and C451A-ERα mice. Markers of oxidative stress were similarly increased in old WT and C451A-ERα mice. Reduction in oxidative stress with superoxide dismutase plus catalase or Mito-tempo, which reduces mitochondrial superoxide restored FMD to a normal control level in young C451A-ERα mice as well as in old WT mice and old C451A-ERα mice. Estradiol-mediated dilation was absent in old WT mice. We conclude that oxidative stress is a key event in the decline of FMD, and that an early defect in membrane ERα recapitulates phenotypically and functionally ageing of these resistance arteries. The loss of this function could take part in vascular ageing.

Abstract: There is an urgent need to develop new therapeutic strategies to fight the emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria. Many antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been identified and characterized, but clinical translation has been limited partly due to their structural instability and degradability in physiological environments. The use of unnatural backbones leading to foldamers can generate peptidomimetics with improved properties and conformational stability. We recently reported the successful design of urea-based eukaryotic cell-penetrating foldamers (CPFs). Since cell-penetrating peptides and AMPs generally share many common features, we prepared new sequences derived from CPFs by varying the distribution of histidine- and arginine-type residues at the surface of the oligourea helix, and evaluated their activity on both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as on fungi. In addition, we prepared and tested new amphiphilic block cofoldamers consisting of an oligourea and a peptide segment whereby polar and charged residues are located in the peptide segment and more hydrophobic residues in the oligourea segment. Several foldamer sequences were found to display potent antibacterial activities even in the presence of 50% serum. Importantly, we show that these urea-based foldamers also possess promising antifungal properties.

Abstract: Transplantation for patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure grade 3 (ACLF3) has encouraging results with 1-year-survival of 80-90%. These patients with multiple organ failure meet the conditions for serious alterations of drug metabolism and increased toxicity. The goal of this study was to identify immunosuppression-dependent factors that affect survival. This retrospective monocentric study was conducted in patients with ACLF3 consecutively transplanted between 2007 and 2019. The primary endpoint was 1-year survival. Secondary endpoints were overall survival, treated rejection, and surgical complications. Immunosuppression was evaluated as to type of immunosuppression, post-transplant introduction timing, trough levels, and trough level intra-patient variability (IPV). One hundred patients were included. Tacrolimus IPV < 40% (P = .019), absence of early tacrolimus overdose (P = .033), use of anti-IL2-receptor antibodies (P = .034), and early mycophenolic acid introduction (P = .038) predicted 1-year survival. Treated rejection was an independent predictor of survival (P = .001; HR 4.2 (CI 95%: 1.13-15.6)). Early everolimus introduction was neither associated with higher rejection rates nor with more surgical complications. Management of immunosuppression in ACLF3 critically ill patients undergoing liver transplantation is challenging. Occurrence and treatment of rejection impacts on survival. Early introduction of mTOR inhibitor seems safe and efficient in this situation. Keywords: basilliximab; critically ill patients; everolimus; mycophenolic acid; rejection.

Abstract: The increase of antimicrobial resistance to conventional antibiotics is worldwide a major health problem that requires the development of new bactericidal strategies. Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (a-PDT) that generates reactive oxygen species acting on multiple cellular targets is unlikely to induce bacterial resistance. This localized treatment requires, for safe and efficient treatment of nonsuperficial infections, a targeting photosensitizer excited in the near IR. To this end, a new conjugate consisting of an antimicrobial peptide linked to a π-extended porphyrin photosensitizer was designed for a-PDT. Upon irradiation at 720 nm, the conjugate has shown at micromolar concentration strong bactericidal action on both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Moreover, this conjugate allows one to reach a low minimum bactericidal concentration with near IR excitation without inducing toxicity to skin cells. Keywords: antimicrobial peptide; antimicrobial photodynamic therapy; bacteria; keratinocyte; near infrared; porphyrin.

Abstract: ObjectiveDespite recent progress in caring for patients born with esophageal atresia (EA), undernutrition and stunting remain common. Our study objective was to assess nutritional status in the first year after birth with EA and to identify factors associated with growth failure.Study designWe conducted a population-based study of all infants born in France with EA between 2010 and 2016. Through the national EA register, we collected prenatal to 1 year follow-up data. We used body mass index and length-for-age ratio Z scores to define patients who were undernourished and stunted, respectively. Factors with P < 0.20 in univariate analyses were retained in a logistic regression model.ResultsAmong 1,154 patients born with EA, body mass index and length-for-age ratio Z scores at 1 year were available for about 61%. Among these, 15.2% were undernourished and 19% were stunted at the age of 1 year. There was no significant catch-up between ages 6 months and 1 year. Patients born preterm (41%), small for gestational age (17%), or with associated abnormalities (55%) were at higher risk of undernutrition and stunting at age 1 year (P < 0.05). Neither EA type nor surgical treatment was associated with growth failure.ConclusionUndernutrition and stunting are common during the first year after birth in patients born with EA. These outcomes are significantly influenced by early factors, regardless of EA type or surgical management. Identifying high-risk patient groups with EA (i.e., those born preterm, small for gestational age, and/or with associated abnormalities) may guide early nutritional support strategies.

Abstract: The synthesis of surgical adhesives is based on the need to design glues that give rise to strong and fast bonds without cytotoxic side effects. A recent trend in surgical adhesives is to use gel-forming polymers modified with catechol groups, which can undergo oxidative crosslinking reactions and are strongly adhesive to all kinds on surfaces in wet conditions. We previously showed that blending gelatin with catechol can yield strong adhesion when the catechol is oxidized by a strong oxidant. Our previous work was limited to the study of the variation in the sodium periodate concentration. In this article, for an in-depth approach to the interactions between the components of the gels, the influence of the gelatin, the sodium periodate and dopamine/(pyro)catechol concentration on the storage (G') and loss (G″) moduli of the gels, as well as their adhesion on steel, have been studied by shear rheometry. The hydrogels were characterized by infrared and UV-Vis spectroscopy and the size of their pores visualized by digital microscopy and SEM after freeze drying but without further additives. In terms of adhesion between two stainless steel plates, the optimum was obtained for a concentration of 10% w/v in gelatin, 10 mM in sodium periodate, and 20 mM in phenolic compounds. Below these values, it is likely that crosslinking has not been maximized and that the oxidizing environment is weakening the gelatin. Above these values, the loss in adhesiveness may result from the disruption of the alpha helixes due to the large number of phenolic compounds as well as the maintenance of an oxidizing environment. Overall, this investigation shows the possibility to design strongly adhesive hydrogels to metal surfaces by blending gelatin with polyphenols in oxidative conditions. Keywords: gelatin adhesives; optimization; phenolic compounds.

Abstract: Purpose: The main objective was to perform an image-guided (CT) assessment of the efficacy of the CAVI-T™ balloon to compress the sphenopalatine artery (SPA) on cadaver heads, for the management of epistaxis. The secondary objectives were to analyse the deployment and stability of this balloon according to the volume injected into the nasal cavity, to optimise its use. Methods: A descriptive anatomical study was performed. The catheterization of the SPA was performed on four fresh-frozen heads with a SPA approach through the maxillary sinus, leaving the nasal cavity unscathed. Computed Tomography images were acquired without and with the balloon, inflated by injections of progressive volumes of diluted iodine, for optimal contrast with the surrounding tissues. We evaluated the positioning of the balloon according to two predetermined markers on the device. Results: Out of 68 image-guided acquisitions, the CAVI-T™ balloon compressed the SPA in 88% of cases. The other nasal cavity structures were compressed in 86% to 100% of the cases, depending on the positioning of the CAVI-T™ balloon, therefore allowing a complete obstruction of the nasal cavity. The device remained stable upon inflation and did not obstruct the nasopharynx. Conclusion: The CAVI-T™ balloon provided effective compression of the SPA and the different structures of the nasal cavity.

Abstract: The guideline of this thesis is to add polyphenols to the liquid used for the setting of dental root canal repair cements with the assumption that this family of molecules, known for their ability to adsorb on the surface of all types of materials, promote interparticle interactions within the cement and a part remains available to promote biological effects. The addition of tannic acid (TA) to mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) cements decreases their setting time, reduces the average grain size and increases the hydrophilicity of the composite materials as well as their mechanical properties in the dry state. But the fact that the polyphenol is strongly hydrophilic with a certain release in water, induces a decrease of the compression resistance at break of the composites doped with TA compared to the 100% hydrated MTA cement. To better understand the effects of polyphenol addition on the properties of this material, the modification of plaster of Paris with different mass fractions of tannic acid and pyrogallol was also studied. The incorporation of active molecules in calcium-based composites could have a positive effect on their mechanical and biological properties. But further studies are still needed with other polyphenols and other composite materials., La ligne directrice de ce travail de thèse consiste à rajouter des polyphénols dans l’eau utilisée pour la prise du ciment dentaire de réparation canalaire dans l’hypothèse que cette famille de molécules, connues pour leur capacité à s’adsorber sur la surface de tous types de matériaux, favorise des interactions interparticules au sein du ciment et qu’une partie reste disponible pour favoriser des effets biologiques. L'ajout d’acide tannique (AT) aux ciments « mineral trioxide aggregate » (MTA) diminue nettement leur temps de prise et la taille moyenne des grains du ciment obtenus et augmente l'hydrophilie des matériaux composites ainsi que leur propriétés mécaniques à l'état sec. Mais le fait que le polyphénol est fortement hydrophile avec une certaine libération dans l'eau, induit une diminution de la compression maximale à la rupture des composites dopés avec de l’AT par rapport au ciment MTA 100% hydraté. Pour mieux comprendre les effets de l’addition de polyphénols sur les propriétés de ce matériau, la modification du plâtre de Paris avec différentes fractions massiques d’acide tannique et de pyrogallol a été étudiée. L’incorporation de molécules actives dans des composites à base de calcium pourrait avoir un effet positif sur leurs propriétés mécaniques et leurs activités biologiques. Mais des études complémentaires restent à mener avec d’autres polyphénols et d’autres matériaux composites.

Abstract: The aim of the present in vitro study was to evaluate specific mechanical and physicochemical properties of two calcium silicate based sealers, (AH Plus Bioceramic “AHPB”; Well-Root ST “WRST”), and a conventional resin sealer (AH Plus “AHP”). These aims were accomplished by assessing the porosity, pH, compression strength, roughness, wettability and cell attachment of the tested materials. The results were compared statistically using the one-way ANOVA test. Higher pH values were obtained in both AHPB and WRST compared to AHP at 3, 24 and 72 h (p < 0.05). A greater level of porosity and wettability was detected for both AHPB and WRST compared to the resin sealer AHP (p < 0.05). Evident cell growth characterized by elongated morphology was observed on the surface of AHPB and WRST, while only a thin layer of cells was seen on the surface of AHP. A significant lower compression strength and modulus were obtained in the specimens created using AHPB compared to those made with AHP and WRST (p < 0.05). The removal of calcium silicates may be quite tricky during endodontic retreatment. In conclusion, considering the limitations of the present in vitro study, both calcium silicate sealers demonstrated good physicochemical properties. However, the lower compression strength and modulus of AHPB may facilitate its removal and make the retreatment procedures considerably easier.

Abstract: Objectives To describe the coinfections in invasive aspergillosis (IA), to identify factors associated with coinfections, and to evaluate the impact of coinfection on mortality. Patients and methods We conducted a monocentric retrospective study of consecutive putative, probable, or proven IA that occurred between 1997 and 2017. All coinfections, with an onset within 7 days before or after the first sign of aspergillosis, were identified. Factors associated with coinfections and mortality were analysed by multivariable analysis. Results Among the 690 patients with IA included in the study, the median age was 57 years (range 7 days to 90 years). A coinfection was diagnosed in 272/690 patients (39.4%, 95%CI 35.8–43.2). The location of this coinfection was pulmonary only in 131/272 patients (48%), bloodstream only in 66/272 patients (24%) and other/multiple sites in 75/272 patients (28%). Coinfections were bacterial (110/272 patients, 40%), viral (58/272, 21%), fungal (57/272, 21%), parasitic (5/272, 2%) or due to multiple types of pathogens (42/272, 15%). Factors associated with a coinfection in adjusted analysis were: allogeneic haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (OR 2.3 (1.2–4.4)), other haematological malignancies (OR 2.1 (1.2–3.8)), other underlying diseases (OR 4.3 (1.4–13.6)), lymphopenia (OR 1.7 (1.1-2.5)), C-reactive protein >180 mg/L (OR 1.9 (1.2–3.0)), fever (OR 2.4 (1.5–4.1)), tracheal intubation (OR 2.6 (1.5–4.7)), isolation of two or more different Aspergillus species (OR 2.7 (1.1–6.3)), and the presence of non-nodular lesions on chest computed tomography (OR 2.2 (1.3–3.7) and OR 2.2 (1.2–4.0)). Coinfections were independently associated with a higher mortality at week 12 (adjusted HR 1.5 (1.1–1.9), p Conclusions Coinfections are frequent in IA patients and are associated with higher mortality.

Abstract: Background: Periimplantitis is a disease linked to oral virulent bacteria such as P. gingivalis that grow in dental implants surrounding tissues and between implants and abutments. Antimicrobial gels previously described to fill these sites lose their effectiveness and resorb over time. Objective: Characterization of biophysical and antimicrobial properties of an original hydrogel, Alginate–Catechol (Alg–Cat), combined to D-Cateslytin (D-CTL). Methods: Gelation kinetics, frequency and strain sweep measurements were performed by rheology. Antibacterial activity of the gels was tested against P. gingivalis, and the MIC was determined. Peptides released from the gels were purified by HPLC and characterized by MALDI–TOF mass spectrometry. The behavior of bacteria in contact with the gel was observed using optical and electronic microscopy (SEM and TEM). Results: Gelation was fast and was achieved in 2 min with a storage modulus between 25 and 30 Pa. The gels were stable under strain and showed an adhesive potential reinforced with aging at 18 h (5.4 kPa) under a slow retraction speed (4 J·m−2 at 10 µm/s) with a mixed rupture profile (adhesive/cohesive). The MIC of D-CTL inside the Alg–Cat gel against P. gingivalis was equal to 470 µg·mL−1 after 24 h. Peptides recovered in the supernatant and inside the gel were fragmented, most of them conserving the ⍺-helix active site. No bacteria were visualized at the surface and inside the gel after 24 h. This gel is promising for clinical application for the prevention of periimplantitis.

Abstract: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the physicochemical properties and antibacterial activity of three calcium silicate cements. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA Biorep "BR"), Biodentine (BD) and Well-Root PT (WR) materials were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) at 24, 72 and 168 h of immersion in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The antibacterial activity against Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis), the solubility, roughness, pH changes and water contact angle were also analyzed. All results were statistically analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance test. Statistically significant lower pH was detected for BD than WR and BR (p < 0.05). No statistical difference was found among the three materials for the efficacy of kill against E. faecalis (p > 0.05). Good antibacterial activity was observed (kill 50% of bacteria) after 24 h of contact. The wettability and the roughness of BR were higher than for the other cements (p < 0.05). BD was more soluble than WR and BR (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the use of bioceramic cements as retrograde materials may play an important role in controlling bacterial growth and in the development of calcium phosphate surface layer to support healing. Moreover, the premixed cement was easier to use than powder-liquid cement. Keywords: calcium silicate cement; powder–liquid cement; premixed cement; retrograde materials.

Abstract: The main goal of root canal treatment (RCT) is to eradicate or essentially diminish the microbial population within the root canal system and to prevent reinfection by a proper chemo-mechanical preparation and hermetic final obturation of the root canal space. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of the root canal filling and the number of visits needed for completing RCT by operators with different experience, including dentistry students (4th and 5th year), general dental practitioners (GDPs), and endodontists. Data from medical records of 798 patients were analyzed, obtaining 900 teeth and 1773 obturated canals according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A similar number of teeth was assessed in each group in terms of density and length of root canal filling and number of visits. The larger number of visits and the lower quality of treatment was observed for 4th year students than for other groups (p < 0.05); in contrast, the endodontists needed the lowest number of visits to complete RCT and more often overfilled teeth than other operator groups (p < 0.05). Interestingly, no statistical difference in quality of root canal filling was noted between 5th year students, GPDs and endodontists. The treatment of lower teeth demanded statistically more visits than that of upper teeth (p < 0.05). The results of the study emphasize that most of the root canal filling performed by operators was considered adequate, regardless of tooth type, files used and number of visits.

Abstract: Introduction A growing number of international studies have highlighted the adverse consequences of lived experience in the first thousand days of pregnancy and early life on the probability of stillbirth, child mortality, inadequate growth and healthy development during both childhood and adulthood. The lived experience of the fetus inside the womb and at the birth is strongly related to both maternal health during pregnancy and maternal exposure to a set of environmental factors known as ‘exposome’ characteristics, which include environmental exposure, health behaviours, living conditions, neighbourhood characteristics and socioeconomic profile. The aim of our project is to explore the relationships between exposome characteristics and the health status of pregnant women and their newborns. We are particularly interested in studying the relationships between the social inequality of adverse pregnancy outcomes and (1) short-term exposure to atmospheric pollution (MobiFem project) and (2) pregnancy lifestyle (EnviFem project). Methods and analysis Ours is a prospective, observational and multisite cohort study of pregnant women, involving one teaching hospital across two sites in the Strasbourg metropolitan area. The research team at University Hospital of Strasbourg (HUS) Health collects data on outcomes and individual characteristics from pregnancy registries, clinical records data and questionnaires administered via email to study participants. Recruitment began in February 2021 and will be complete by December 2021. Participants are recruited from first trimester antenatal ultrasound examinations (conducted on weekdays across both sites); each woman meeting our inclusion criteria enters the cohort at the end of her first trimester. Study participants receive a total of three online questionnaires covering sociodemographic characteristics, travel behaviour patterns and lifestyle. Participants complete these questionnaires at recruitment, during the second and third trimester. The level of personal exposure to air pollution is characterised using a dynamic spatiotemporal trajectory model that describes the main daily movements of pregnant women and the time spent in each place frequented. Univariate, multilevel and Bayesian model will be used to investigate the relationships between exposome characteristics and the health status of pregnant women and their newborns. Ethics and dissemination Our research was approved by the Commission de Protection des Personnes (CPP) Ile de France VI (Paris) on 9 December 2020 (File reference No. 20.09.15.41703 ID RCB: 2020-A02580-39 and No. 20 080–42137 IDRCB 2020-A02581-38). The Agence Nationale de Sécurité du Médicament was informed of it on 15 December 2020. Findings from the study will be disseminated through publications and international conferences and through presentation at meetings with local stakeholders, researchers and policy-makers.

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Part of the recent progress in the labyrinth imaging has been made possible by the rise of contrast-free T2-weighted and delayed (1h) FLAIR sequences. The aim of this article is to review evidence for the use of these two sequences to image the inner ear, especially the posterior membranous labyrinth. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We analyzed MRI-based papers (2007–2020)using high-resolution T2-weighted or contrast-enhanced FLAIR (1h) sequences to image the inner ear. RESULTS: T2-weighted sequences (3T MRI)enabled the visualization of the posterior membranous labyrinth with good correlation when compared to corresponding histological slices.Significant progress has been made, especially in terms of scanning time, aiming at reducing it, in order to decrease motions artifacts. The saccule is visible on a 3T MRI without significant motion artifacts. Its shape is ovoid, with a maximum height and width of 1.6 and 1.4 mm, respectively. An enlarged saccule was observed in 84%of patients with unilateral Meniere’s disease, in 28%of patients with vestibular schwannomas (VS) and 47%of patients with intralabyrinthine schwannomas. VS obstructing the internal auditory canal caused a decrease of the perilymphatic signal (more moderate decrease in meningiomas) on T2 gradient-echo images. Contrast-enhanced FLAIR sequences are useful to image vestibular/facial neuritis and inflammatory inner ear diseases. CONCLUSION: Precise analysis of the posterior membranous labyrinth, in terms of size, shape and signal intensity, is possible on a 3T MRI using high-resolution gradient-echo T2-weighted sequences. Such sequences are an interesting add-on to delayed (4h30) FLAIR-based protocols for labyrinth imaging.

Abstract: Background: Among the new perspectives to revolutionize skull base surgery, there are the transorbital neuroendoscopic (TONES) approaches to reach the anterior and middle cranial fossa (ACF and MCF). We conceived to explore the potentialities of a modified superiorly and medially extended lateral retrocanthal (LRC) approach. Methods: Six head specimens were dissected. Applying the established conic model and the key surgical landmark of sphenofrontal suture, we tested the feasibility of a modified LRC to reach ACF and MCF; computed tomography (CT) scans were performed before and after dissection to obtain a morphometric analysis of the surgical corridors using a polygonal surfaces model. Results: Through our anatomical study, we were able to identify and explore 3 different surgical corridors to reach the ACF and MCF: the superomedial, the superolateral, and the inferolateral. The superomedial corridor appeared most suitable to reach the medial part of the ACF and the optic-carotid region, whereas through the superolateral and inferolateral corridors it was possible to reach and explore the lateral part of ACF and MCF. The mean volumes of the 3 surgical corridors calculated on post-dissection CT scans were: 12.72 ± 1.99, 5.69 ± 0.34, and 6.24 ± 0.47 cm3, respectively. Conclusions: The development of TONES approaches has not replaced the traditional open or endoscopic approach; nonetheless, identification of surgical corridors and the possibility to combine them represent a major breakthrough. Clinical studies are necessary to demonstrate their validity and test the effectiveness, safety, and reproducibility of TONES approaches in managing lesions harboring in the ACF and MCF.

Abstract: Biomedical implants are an important part of evolving modern medicine but have a potential drawback in the form of postoperative pathogenic infection. Accordingly, the "race for surface" combat between invasive bacteria and host cells determines the fate of implants. Hence, proper in vitro systems are required to assess effective strategies to avoid infection.

Abstract: The salivary contamination occurring at the try-in procedures of lithium disilicate (LDS) can jeopardize their bond strength. Various laboratory reports have concluded that applying 37% phosphoric acid (H3PO4) could be considered as a predictable way of removing salivary contaminants. An experimental method that consists of sealing the intaglio of the ceramic restorations with a layer of cured adhesive could allow consequent time saving for dental practitioners. It is, besides, necessary to establish an optimal decontamination protocol. Hence, this study aimed to determine the most efficient surface treatment, before and after salivary contamination, by comparing the adhesion between resin and LDS. In order to do so, five groups of ten specimens (n = 10) each underwent the different types of surface treatments before bonding, followed by 2500 cycles in the thermocycler. A shear bond strength (SBS) test was then conducted on a universal testing machine (YLE GmbH Waldstraße Bad König, Germany), followed by a fracture-type analysis on an optical microscope (Olympus BX53, Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan). Statistical analysis was set with a level of significance of α = 0.05. The surface treatment significantly affected the SBS results. The decontamination with HF (12.59 ± 2.71 MPa) and H3PO4 (13.11 ± 1.03 MPa) obtained the highest values, silanizing only before contamination obtained intermediate values (11.74 ± 3.49 MPa), and silanizing both before and after the salivary contamination (10.41 ± 2.75 MPa) along with applying a bonding agent before contamination (9.65 ± 1.99 MPa) resulted in the lowest values. In conclusion, H3PO4 proved to be efficient, thus, allowing the practitioner to avoid the clinical use of HF; it can, therefore, be considered as a valid alternative. Presilanization and resilanization of specimens, along with applying a bonding agent before contamination, did not yield satisfying results.

Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Endostar REvision system (Poldent, Warsaw, Poland) in the removal of filling materials from oval root canals using sonic irrigation as an additional cleaning method. Thirty human-extracted mandibular premolars with oval canals were prepared using the ProTaper Universal system (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) up to instrument F1 (20/.07), and then filled by the continuous wave vertical compaction technique using pulp canal sealer EWT (Sybron Dental Specialties, Orange, CA, USA). The teeth were randomly divided into two groups (n = 15) according to the instrumentation system and the additional cleaning method, as follows: REvision (30/.08, 25/.06) with EQ-S sonic activation (Meta Biomed, Chungcheongbuk-do, Korea), REvision (30/.08, 25/.06) without additional activation. All specimens were sectioned longitudinally at 3 and 7 mm from the apex, and analyzed using digital microscopy (KEYENCE, Osaka, Japan) to measure the total area of the residual obturation materials, followed by SEM analysis. The data on the percentage of remaining filling material were analyzed by Kruskal–Wallis one-way Analysis of Variance on ranks. None of the retreatment protocols completely removed the filling material from the root canals (p > 0.05); the retreatment technique using sonic activation showed statistically less residual filling materials than the retreatment technique using irrigants without activation at the coronal third (p < 0.05), whilst no significant difference was found between both tested groups at the apical and middle thirds (p > 0.05). The REvision system showed promising results in the removal of filling materials from oval canals.

Abstract: Orthodontic fixed appliances are used to correct dental malocclusions by optimizing tooth movement and associated bone remodelling. Currently, orthodontic archwires made of shape memory alloys (SMAs) are widely used to initiate these treatments. We conduct experiments on SMA wires in pseudo in-vivo conditions, complementary to ISO standards, to assess the influence of temperature and humidity and to highlight their expected mechanical behaviour for clinical use. For this, an in-house built measurement device was developed to carry out experiments at controlled temperatures (21°C and 35°C) and in dry or wet conditions (artificial saliva). The dental arch was reproduced by 3D printing. The results show that the temperature has a major influence on the delivered forces whereas wet or dry conditions seem to have less impact. Also, we emphasize that at 35°C (in mouth conditions), in wet or dry conditions, SMAs superelasticity is only effective for displacements up to about 3 mm when an entire dental arch is considered.

Abstract: Hypothesis: The setting time and mechanical properties of cements are a major technical concern for a long time in civil engineering. More recently those practical problems became a major concern for biomedical applications -in bone surgery and in dentistry- in particular concerning the setting time which should be minimized. The possibility to add organic additives to interact with the different constituting ions in cements constitutes a way to modify the setting kinetics. We made the assumption that a hydrolysable polyphenol like tannic acid could modify the setting time and the physical properties of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA). Experiments: Tannic acid is added in variable proportions to the water used to set MTA. The formation of the hybrid organic-mineral cements is investigated using a combination of structural, chemical and mechanical methods. X-ray tomography was also used to investigate the changes in porosity and pore size distribution upon incorporation of tannic acid in MTA based cements. The hydrophilicity of the cements was evaluated by measuring the permeation kinetics of small water droplets. Findings: We found that tannic acid allowed to reduce markedly the setting time of MTA based cements. The obtained cements have an increased hydrophilicity and display excellent resistance to compression. The number of pores but not the average pore size is also affected. The possible roles of tannic acid in modifying the cement properties are discussed. Keywords: Mechanical properties; Mineral trioxide aggregate; Natural additives; Setting time; Tannic acid; X-ray tomography.

Abstract: Spatial control of supramolecular self-assembly can yield compartmentalized structures, a key feature for the design of artificial cells. Inducing self-assembly from and on compartments is still a challenge. Polyelectrolyte complex coacervates are simple model droplet systems able to reproduce the basic features of membrane-less organelles, appearing in cells. Here, we demonstrate the supramolecular self-assembly of a phosphorylated tripeptide, Fmoc-FFpY (Fmoc: fluorenyl-methoxycarbonyl; F: phenyl alanine, pY: phosphorylated tyrosine), on the surface of poly(l-glutamic acid)/poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PGA/PAH) complex coacervate microdroplets. The phosphorylated peptides self-assemble, without dephosphorylation, through ion pairing between the phosphate groups of Fmoc-FFpY and the amine groups of PAH. This process provides spontaneous capsules formed by an amorphous polyelectrolyte complex core surrounded by a structured peptide/PAH shell. Similar fibrillar Fmoc-FFpY self-assembled structures are obtained at the interface between the peptide solution and a PGA/PAH polyelectrolyte multilayer, a complex coacervate in the thin film or "multilayer" format. In contact with the peptide solution, PAH chains diffuse out of the coacervate or multilayer film and complex with Fmoc-FFpY at the solution interface, exchanging any PGA with which they were associated. Self-assembly of Fmoc-FFpY, now concentrated by complexation with PAH, follows quickly. Keywords: Coacervates; Fmoc-FF; Layer-by-layer; Multilayers; Peptides; Polyelectrolytes; Supramolecular self-assembly.
