Abstract
Resin-based composite materials are commonly used for restorations, but their dimensional changes during the polymerization could cause various clinical problems. This study evaluated the influence of a base of different materials and thicknesses on the stress magnitude and distribution in a second maxillary premolar with an MOD resin composite restoration using three-dimensional finite element analysis. A sound tooth without cavity was considered as the control group (ST), and another group was restored with composite resin without applying a base material in a MOD cavity (CR). The other three groups were restored with composite resin along with the following base materials: glass ionomer cement, low-viscosity resin, and tricalcium silicate, respectively (CR-GIC, CR-LR, and CR-TS). These three groups were further divided into two subgroups according to the thickness of the base layer: thin (0.5 mm) and thick (1.0 mm). The stress distribution was compared using the maximum principal stress after polymerization shrinkage and vertical loading with 600 N on the occlusal surface. Group ST showed the lowest stress value, and its stress propagation was confined to outer enamel surfaces only. Group CR demonstrated the highest stress distribution in the tooth-restoration interface with increased failure risk on marginal areas. The thin and thick subgroups of the three groups with a base layer had lower stress levels than Group CR. The base materials reduced the marginal stress caused by polymerization shrinkage of composite resin in MOD cavities. Different base materials and thicknesses did not affect the stress distribution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A series of qualitative studies conducted by the OMERACT Myositis Working Group identified pain interference, fatigue, and physical function as highly important life impact domains for adults with idiopathic inflammatory myositis (IIM). In this study, our goal was to assess the responsiveness and minimal important difference of PROMIS pain interference (6a), fatigue (7a), and physical function (8b). METHODS Adults with IIM from USA, Netherlands, Korea, Sweden, and Australia with two "clinical" visits were enrolled in this prospective study. Anchor questions on a Likert scale were collected at baseline, and manual muscle testing (MMT), physician and patient reported global disease activity, and PROMIS instruments were collected at both visits. Responsiveness was assessed with i) ANOVA, ii) paired t-test, effect size and standardized response mean, and iii) Pearson correlation. Minimal important difference (MID), minimal important change (MIC) and minimal detectable change (MDC) values were calculated. RESULTS 114 patients with IIM (median age 60, 60 % female) completed both visits. Changes in PROMIS instruments were significantly different among anchor categories. Patients who reported improvement had a significant improvement in their PROMIS scores with at least medium effect size, while patients who reported worsening and stability did not show a significant change with weak effect size. PROMIS instruments had weak to moderate correlations with MMT, patient and physician global disease activity. MID was approximately 2-3 points for Pain Interference and 3-4 points for Fatigue and Physical Function forms based on the method used. MIC was approximately 4-5 for improvement of all the instruments, while MDC was 1.7-2 points for Pain Interference and Physical Function and 3.2-3.9 for Fatigue. CONCLUSION This study provides evidence towards the responsiveness of the PROMIS instruments in a large international prospective cohort of adults with IIM supporting their use as PROMs in adult myositis.

Abstract
Background/purpose One of the challenges in adhesive ceramic restorations is deterioration of tooth-cement-ceramic interfaces. This study was to quantitatively investigate lipopolysaccharide (LPS) penetration through adhesive ceramic restorations. Materials and methods Standardized holes were formed on ceramic (IPS Empress CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent) and human dentin discs. Prepared discs were randomly assigned to experimental groups (n = 6/group): SC, self-adhesive resin cement (SmartCem 2, Dentsply Sirona) bonded to ceramic discs; ST, self-adhesive resin cement bonded to dentin discs; VC, etch-and-rinse resin cement (Variolink II, Ivoclar Vivadent AG) bonded to ceramic discs; VT, etch-and-rinse resin cement bonded to dentin discs. The specimens underwent thermocycling (10,000 cycles; 5-55 °C) then LPS penetration test until 5-weeks. A mixed effect analysis using R statistical language was performed for data analysis. Results Dentin and ceramic bonded with etch-and-rinse resin cements (groups VT and VC) showed significantly less penetration than those with self-adhesive resin cement (groups ST and SC) (P < 0.05). ST showed significantly lower penetration than SC (P < 0.05), that showed similar penetration with positive control (P > 0.05). VC showed minimal penetration during observed time of period (P < 0.05). Scanning electron microscope observations showed different interfacial characteristics among the groups. Conclusion Within the limitation of this study, etch-and-rinse resin cement showed less LPS penetration than self-adhesive resin cement on both ceramic and dentin surfaces.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this case report was to discuss the clinical application using a quantitative light-induced fluorescent (QLF) device for the diagnosis and treatment of a cracked tooth as visualizing the tooth's crack. CASE REPORT A 39-year-old woman visited a dental hospital complaining of throbbing pain on tooth #36. Observation of the tooth with naked eyes showed that tooth had a ceramic restoration with no specific findings. QLF device's images around the restoration, and after removal of the restoration were taken. In the QLF image after removal of the restoration, clear red-fluorescent crack line was shown, indicating that microorganism had penetrated along the crack path. During root canal treatment, the QLF image of the inside of the pulp chamber showed a pattern in which the crack line progressed into the tooth. During the treatment of the cracked tooth, the crack line was removed as much as possible using the fluorescent information obtained by the QLF device, and crack lines of fluorescence images quantitatively analyzed using a QLF's software. CONCLUSION Images acquired with the QLF device can provide useful information for detecting crack lines, recording the treatment process, and restorative management of cracked teeth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The accuracy of intraoral scanning plays a crucial role in the workflow of computer-assisted design/computer-assisted manufacturing. However, data regarding scanning accuracy for inlay preparation designs are lacking. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of the depth of the occlusal cavity and width of the gingival floor of the proximal box on the trueness and precision of intraoral scans for inlay restoration. METHODS Artificial teeth were used in this study. Four types of preparations for mesio-occlusal inlay were performed on each #36 artificial tooth depending on two different depths of the occlusal cavity (1 mm and 2 mm) and widths of the gingival floor of the proximal box (1.5 mm and 2.5 mm). Artificial teeth were scanned 10 times each with Cerec Primescan AC, and another scan was performed subsequently with a laboratory scanner as a reference (n = 10). Standard tessellation language files were analyzed using a three-dimensional analysis software program. Experimental data were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance and the Bonferroni multiple comparison test. RESULTS The narrow shallow group had significantly higher deviation values for trueness than the wide deep group (p < 0.05). The wide deep group had the lowest average deviation value for trueness and there was no significant difference between the narrow deep and wide shallow groups (p > 0.05). For the mean maximum positive deviation, the wide groups had significantly lower values than the narrow groups (p < 0.05). Trueness was affected by both the width and depth(p < 0.05), whereas the mean maximum positive deviation was affected by the width (p < 0.05). The mean maximum negative deviation was affected by all three factors (p < 0.05). Precision was affected by the depth and the interaction between the depth of the occlusal cavity and width of the gingival floor (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The design of different inlay cavity configurations affected the accuracy of the digital intraoral scanner. The highest average deviation for trueness was observed in the narrow shallow group and the lowest in the wide deep group. With regard to precision, the narrow shallow group showed the lowest average deviation, and the narrow deep group showed highest value.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to evaluate the intaglio surface trueness and fit of zirconia crowns depending on the different machining strategies used with the CEREC system. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty duplicate tooth models for a single zirconia crown were randomly assigned to the three groups (n = 10) according to the machining mode used for fabrication: grinding, wet milling, and dry milling. The scan data of the final crowns were compared to their design data to evaluate the intaglio surface trueness. The marginal and internal fits were evaluated using the cross-sectional method. The time required for the machining and sintering processes was measured for each group. RESULT The wet milling group showed better trueness (RMS, 13.8 ± 1.0 μm) than the grinding and dry milling groups (p < 0.001). The marginal gap was greater in the grinding group (58.6 ± 28.9 μm) than that in the wet milling and dry milling groups (p < 0.001). The dry milling group required the shortest time for the manufacturing process. CONCLUSION All machining modes fabricated crowns with a clinically acceptable trueness and fit. However, the dry milling mode was advantageous for the chairside CAD/CAM system with respect to time efficiency.

Abstract
PURPOSE To test the efficacy of nitrogen doped-TiO₂ (N-TiO₂) nanoparticles (NPs) on teeth whitening under visible light irradiation. METHODS N-TiOV₂ NPs were prepared by the sol-gel method, using TiN as a precursor. Their light absorbance and crystal structures were characterized. Photocatalytic reactions were tested using methylene blue (MB) and extracted teeth. For the extracted teeth, carbomer gel, without or with 3% H₂O₂, and light irradiated, with subsequent evaluation of the color differences. RESULTS Unlike ordinary TiO₂, N-TiO₂ showed high absorbance after 400 nm. N-TiO₂ prepared with TiN as a precursor showed rutile phase over the TiN structure. For MB solution, N-TiO₂ with 3% H₂O₂ showed the maximum decrease in absorbance after laser irradiation. Observing the effect on teeth, N-TiO₂+3% H₂O₂+405 nm laser treatment achieved approximately 25% higher whitening than that by 15% H₂O₂ during the same treatment time. Higher H₂O₂ concentrations may offer faster results. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE N-TiO₂ nanoparticles (without or with 3% H₂O₂) show better whitening of teeth as compared to 15% H₂O₂, if used with a visible laser for 5 hours. The potential on N-TiO₂ nanoparticles to be used as a tooth whitener needs to be further explored to reduce its application time.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Antiplatelet therapy (APT) in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery (NCS) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is still on debate due to its opposite effects which are to prevent from cardiovascular events and to cause bleeding. There is no apparent consensus on how to determine perioperative APT strategy within 1 year after PCI. Therefore, we investigated the risk and benefit of APT in NCS within 1 year after PCI.
Methods
Patients undergoing NCS after PCI with second-generation drug-eluting stents are retrospectively included from multicenter cohort of 8 medical centers in Korea. Perioperative clinical event within 30 days after NCS was recorded. Net adverse clinical event (NACE) including all cause death, major adverse cardiac event (MACE, a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and stent thrombosis) and major bleeding were evaluated. To overcome bias, propensity score covariate adjustment was performed using logistic regression analysis to generate propensity scores for patients of both APT strategies.
Results
Total 1130 patients (median age 69 years, female 30.5%) undergoing NCS within 1 year after PCI were eligible in the cohort. Study population included 55.1% patients suffered from ACS and 22.5% underwent complex PCI. NCS included 45.8% intermediate-to-high risk surgery and 10.7% urgent or emergent surgery. APT was continued during NCS in 62.7% of the patients. More patients continued DAPT (48% vs. 32%, p<0.001) among the patients who underwent NCS within 6 months after PCI than those who underwent NCS after 6 months. There were 49 NACE (4.3%), 16 MACE (1.4%) and 23 major bleeding events (2.0%), respectively. Continuing APT was associated with a lower risk of NACE (Adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.49; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.27–0.89; p=0.020)) and MACE (Adjusted HR, 0.35; 95 CI, 0.12–0.96; p=0.042). Subgroup analysis showed a tendency that continuing APT might be favorable than discontinuing APT in terms of MACE in patients who were diagnosed with ACS, underwent complex PCI, or underwent NCS within 6 months after PCI.
Conclusions
About two thirds of the patients were continuing APT during NCS. Our findings may support a careful consideration of APT continuation for some of the patients who are undergoing NCS within 1 year after PCI.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and objectives
Advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), including end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis, increases thromboembolic risk among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). This study examined the comparative safety and efficacy of direct-acting oral anticoagulant (DOAC) compared to warfarin or no OAC among AF patients with advanced CKD or ESRD on dialysis.
Methods
Using data from the COmparison study of Drugs for symptom control and complication prEvention of AF (CODE-AF) registry, 260 non-valvular AF patients with advanced CKD (defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] <3 0ml/min per 1.73 m2) or ESRD on dialysis were enrolled from June 2016 to July 2020. The study population was categorized into DOAC, warfarin, and no OAC group, and differences in major or clinically relevant non-major (CRNM) bleeding, stroke/systemic embolism (SE), myocardial infarction/critical limb ischemia (CLI), and death were assessed.
Results
During a median 24 months of follow-up, major or CRNM bleeding risk was significantly reduced in the DOAC group compared to the warfarin group (hazard ratio [HR] 0.21, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.05 to 0.95, p=0.042). In addition, the risk of composite adverse clinical outcome (major or CRNM bleeding, stroke/SE, myocardial infarction/CLI, and death) was significantly reduced in the DOAC group compared to the no OAC group (HR 0.32, 95% CI 0.11 to 0.96, p=0.043).
Conclusion
Among AF patients with advanced CKD or ESRD on dialysis, DOAC was associated with a lower risk of major or CRNM bleeding compared to warfarin and a lower risk of composite adverse clinical outcome compared to no OAC.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the autofluorescence (AF) spectra of resin products with teeth to determine if this type of non-invasive testing is feasible for differentiating resin products from teeth during resin repair. METHODS For the study, 11 methacrylate-based resin products were chosen. A 405 nm laser was used to induce AF, and a spectrophotometer and a qualitative laser-induced fluorescence (QLF) camera were used to obtain AF spectra and images, respectively. RESULTS Resin products and teeth showed one or two emission peak(s) at 435-465 nm and 475-480 nm, respectively. Other resin constituents produced weak emission peaks beyond the 435-475 nm range. Resin products with high emission intensities produced bright images. When layered, surface resins (0.2 mm-thick) were different from underlying base resins and teeth. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE During resin repair, a restored resin can be readily removed if AF spectroscopy is used alone or in combination with QLF imaging.

Abstract
PURPOSE To test the applicability of autofluorescence (AF) spectrum and image in the detection and identification of oral pathogens. METHODS Oral pathogens (Candida albicans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Streptococcus mutans) and teeth were used. To induce AF, the 405 nm laser was used as a light source, and AF was obtained and observed using a spectrometer, fluorescence camera, and microscope, respectively. RESULTS The tested oral pathogens had similar spectral distributions, but their peak intensities and peak ratios were different. Their peak positions and spectral patterns were different from those of the tested sound and carious teeth. These differences were also found from the other referenced oral mucosa. Fluorescence image could localize the existence of oral bacteria. Oral pathogens could be imaged by fluorescence, but identification of each pathogen by image was not probable. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Oral pathogens can be observed and identified from the lesion if autofluorescence spectrum and fluorescence images are combined.

Abstract
This study aimed to measure real-time temperature changes in gold-restored teeth compared with intact teeth during the intake of hot and cold drinks. Sixteen molars, including eight natural intact teeth and eight restored teeth with gold inlays, were selected from the participants. Custom-made thermocouple sensors were attached to the coronal third of the buccal surface of teeth. Participants consecutively consumed hot and cold drinks according to a standardized regimen. Resting, maximum, and minimum temperatures; time to reach peak temperatures; and heating and cooling velocities were obtained. Statistical analysis was performed using independent two-sample t-test. Teeth with gold restorations showed a significantly higher maximum temperature (44.7 °C [SD 2.9]) than did natural teeth (40.5 °C [SD 1.2]) during hot water drinking and showed a lower minimum temperature (25.0 °C [SD 4.9]) than did natural teeth (31.5 °C [SD 3.1]) during cold water drinking. The heating and cooling rates for the teeth with gold restorations were two and three times higher than those of the natural teeth. Gold-restored teeth showed greater temperature change than intact teeth in terms of magnitude and velocity in response to temperature changes induced by hot and cold drinks.

Background
The prognostic significance of resting heart rate and its therapeutic target in atrial fibrillation (AF) is uncertain.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between resting heart rate and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with AF.
Methods
A total of 8,886 patients with AF was included from the COmparison study of Drugs for symptom control and complication prEvention of AF (CODE-AF) registry. Patients were categorized according to baseline heart rate, and cardiovascular outcomes were accessed during a median follow-up of 30 months. The primary outcome was a composite of cardiovascular death, hospitalization due to heart failure, and myocardial infarction/critical limb ischemia.
Results
Compared to heart rate ≥100 beats per minute (bpm), heart rate 80-99 bpm was associated with the lowest risk of primary outcome (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 0.56, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.40-0.79, p=0.001). In subgroup of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), heart rate between 80-99 bpm was associated with reduced risk of primary outcome compared to heart rate ≥100 bpm (HR 0.40, 95% CI 0.16-0.98, p=0.045). However, in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), there was no association between resting heart rate and cardiovascular outcomes (P for interaction 0.001).
Conclusion
Resting heart rate was associated with cardiovascular outcomes in patients with AF, and those with a resting heart rate between 80-99 bpm had the lowest risk of adverse events. The impact of resting heart rate on adverse events persisted in patients with concomitant HFpEF but was not apparent in those with concomitant HFrEF.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of roughness and drying time of dentin as well as the number of coats of a self-adhesive composite-cement primer on the bond strength of self-adhesive composite cement. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty human teeth were prepared and assigned to 12 groups (n = 5), according to three experimental factors: 1) dentin surface roughness, rough or fine, as achieved by 250- and 600-grit silicon carbide papers, respectively; 2) dentin wetness based on air-drying time (5 or 10 s); and 3) the self-adhesive composite-cement primer applications (no-coat, 1-coat, and 2-coat). Composite resin blocks were made with hybrid composite resin (M1 GraceFil) and cemented with G-CEM ONE (both GC). Cement-dentin sticks (12) were prepared, and the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) test was performed. Failure modes were observed with a stereomicroscope (40X), and bonding interfaces were evaluated with confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Statistical analysis was performed using three-way ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc comparisons test (α = 0.05). RESULTS Dentin roughness (250-grit > 600-grit, p = 0.000), drying time (5-s drying > 10-s drying, p = 0.000), and primer application (no-coat < 1-coat = 2-coat, p = 0.000) had significant effects on bond strength. These factors also showed significant interactions with each other (p = 0.003). The highest μTBS (31.8 ± 3.1 MPa) was observed in the 1-coat/fine roughness/10-s drying group and the lowest μTBS (13.4 ± 2.7 MPa) in the no-coat/coarse roughness/5-s drying group. CLSM showed higher penetration of cement in the primer-coated groups compared to that in the no-coat groups. CONCLUSION Bond strength between the self-adhesive composite cement and dentin was higher in the fine-roughness dentin group than in the coarse-roughness dentin group, and in the 5-s drying group compared to the 10-s drying group. Applying a primer to dentin improved bond strength of the self-adhesive composite cement.

Abstract
The treatment of teeth with severely calcified canals is a difficult procedure for clinicians. Procedural accidents such as drill path deviation or perforation of the root canal often occur. 3D-printed directional guides made using CBCT and CAD/CAM can help the clinician to accurately drill in the original root canal direction. Furthermore, chairside operating times and excessive loss of tooth structure are reduced, and the risk of perforation is avoided. The present case report describes two cases of calcified root canals with path deviations that were retreated utilizing a guided endodontic technique.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
While clinical significance of ST-T wave abnormalities (STA) in rest electrocardiography (ECG) on long-term cardiovascular outcomes has been on debate, few studies have been reported on the association between the changes in ST-T waves in rest ECG and cardiovascular outcomes in low risk populations. We investigate the changing patterns of STA in rest ECG and the predictive value of the changes in ST-T wave in rest ECG for cardiovascular events in an asymptomatic general population.
Methods
A longitudinal community-based cohort study was conducted for 12 years. Koreans aged 40–69 years were followed biennially through scheduled revisit for comprehensive assessments. Among 10,030 participants, 6,648 participants who did not have any cardiovascular diseases, angina-related symptoms or pathologic Q waves in rest ECG at baseline were included for analysis. Changes in STAs were defined using the changes between ECG at baseline and that at the first revisit. A major adverse cardiovascular events was defined as a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, clinical diagnosis of coronary artery disease and stroke.
Results
Among 5,924 participants without STA at baseline, only 187 participants (3.2%) developed new STA. Among 724 patients (10.9%) with STA at baseline, 274 patients (37.8%) persistently showed STA at the first revisit. MACEs occurred more frequently in the participants persistently with STA and those with newly-developed STA than in the participants persistently without STA (Figure 1). Multivariate Cox-proportional hazard models showed that a higher risk of MACE was only associated with the persisted STA (HR 1.69; 95% CI 1.10–2.63). In participants with baseline STA, persisted T-wave flattening was associated with a higher risk of MACE, whereas T-wave inversion, either persisted or fluctuated was not associated with a higher risk of MACE, compared with persistent absence of STA (Figure 2). In the participants without baseline STAs, multivariate Cox-proportional hazard model showed that newly-developed T-wave flattening (HR 1.85; 95% CI 0.20–2.84), not T-wave inversion (HR 1.50; 95% CI 0.85–2.65) was associated with a higher risk of MACE. Survival receiver operating curve analysis showed that the changes in STAs had a C-index of 0.538 (95% CI 0.511–0.558), a sensitivity of 13.0% and a specificity of 92.5% and add only a small value to the predictive power of 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases risk estimator (C-index without STA changes 0.708 [0.681–0.736] vs. C-index with STA changes 0.721 [0.694–0.748]).
Conclusions
STAs uncommonly developed while frequently disappeared spontaneously in the asymptomatic general population. Persisted STA and newly developed STA in rest ECG were predictive of future cardiovascular events in the asymptomatic general population. However, the changes in STAs did not significantly improve the predictive value of the conventional risk estimator, when added.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) is a useful tool to identify hypertension and to decide whether a patient's blood pressure (BP) is controlled. The use of automatized oscillometric BP measurement devices has become increasingly popular with help of information technology and internet of things to the devices. However, applying HBPM to daily clinical practices is still challenging, because most patients with hypertension are in age groups not familiar to digital devices and internet and high BP criteria using average home BP values are often useless in outpatient clinics without easily accessible average BP calculation tools. Therefore, we developed a simple and straightforward method to interpret HBPM through counts of BP ≥135/85 mmHg.
Methods
We simulated 400 cases of HBPM using a random number generator function in statistical software. The simulated average home systolic BP (SBP) and its standard deviation (SD) were 125±15 mmHg and 12±5 mmHg and the number of HBP readings was 24 times. The simulated diastolic BP (DBP) was randomly selected to 50–75% of the SBP. The validation of the binary interpretation method was conducted using actual HBPM data from 386 subjects in a rural area of South Korea. Receiver operating characteristics curve analysis was conducted, and linear regression and logarithmic models were fitted between the numbers of home BP ≥135/85 mmHg and mean BP. Hypertension was defined with average home BP ≥135/85 mmHg.
Results
In the simulated cohort, hypertension was presented in 197 cases (49.3%). The C-index of the numbers of BP readings ≥135/85 mmHg was 0.994 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.990–0.998), and ≥12 of 24 BP readings ≥135/85 mmHg showed a sensitivity of 95.4%, a specificity of 95.1% and an accuracy of 95.3% for the diagnosis of hypertension. In validation cohort, the numbers of home BP measurements varied from 8 to 81 times. The validation cohort similarly showed that the C-index of the ratio between the number of high BP readings (≥135/85 mmHg) to the number of BP measurements (R-NHBP/NBP) was 0.985 (95% CI, 0.976–0.994) and the best accuracy was shown at R-NHBP/NBP of ≥0.45. R-NHBP/NBP of ≥0.5 showed a sensitivity of 0.957, a specificity of 0.907 and an accuracy of 0.927. The accuracy of the R-NHBP/NBP of ≥0.5 decreased as SD and the range of SBP increased, whereas it did not change with the number of measurements (Figure 1). R-NHBP/NBP <0.2 predicted normotension and R-NHBP/NBP >0.8 predicted hypertension in 95% confidence. Mean widths of the 95 prediction intervals for the average SBP and DBP were 18.2 mmHg and 12.6 mmHg, respectively (Figure 2).
Conclusion
Counting the number of BP ≥135/85 mmHg can provide accurate assessments for the BP levels. R-NHBP/NBP of ≥0.5 is a simple and accurate marker of high BP in HBPM, and R-NHBP/NBP could be a useful tool to assess BP levels in patients practicing HBPM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the presence of adjacent teeth on the accuracy of intraoral scanning (IOS) systems for class II inlay preparation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The mesio-occlusal inlay preparation was prepared in an anatomical model of the maxillary molar. The prepared tooth was secured to a typodont with the mesial adjacent tooth removed or in situ. Ten digital impressions of the inlay preparation were acquired using three IOS systems (CEREC Primescan, 3Shape TRIOS 3, and Medit i500). A laboratory scanner (3Shape E3) was used to obtain the reference scan data. The mean absolute deviation values were calculated to evaluate the accuracy of the digital models. RESULTS The group with the adjacent teeth present showed lower trueness and precision compared to that without the adjacent tooth (p < .05). Significant differences were observed among the IOS systems (p < .05). Primescan showed the highest accuracy, irrespective of the presence of adjacent teeth. CONCLUSIONS The presence of the adjacent tooth negatively affected the accuracy of all the IOSs tested. Although the performance of Primescan was superior to that of TRIOS 3 and i500, each IOS system showed clinically acceptable levels of accuracy for class II inlay preparation. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The adjacent tooth can be a confounding factor for accurate digital impressions of class II inlay preparation.

Abstract
Diagnosing a cracked tooth is a challenge for dental clinicians. This report describes the use of a quantitative light-induced fluorescent (QLF) device that detects fluorescence reactions with visible light (405 nm) to visually identify microscopic tooth cracks during the diagnosis and treatment of cracked teeth that caused pulp disease. Fluorescence images of the occlusal surface, before and after removal of the restoration, and inside of the access cavity for root canal treatment were obtained using an intraoral capture-type QLF device (Q-ray penC; AIOBIO, Seoul, Korea). The device provided visual information such as enhanced magnification and fluorescent images to identify cracks on the exterior of the tooth, around restorations, and inside the cavity after removal of the restoration by a simple image capture process. The device was able to demonstrate the existence of the crack line and to predict the depth of cracks during treatment.The QLF device showed a potential benefit in the diagnosis and characterization, including the location and depth, of tooth cracks.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of silane-containing universal adhesives on the bonding strength of lithium disilicate. Two-hundred-and-forty lithium disilicate blocks were divided into 16 groups according to the following surface treatments: hydrofluoric acid (HF)-treated or not, silane-treated or not, and the type of universal adhesive used (All-Bond Universal (ABU); Prime & bond (PB); Clearfil Universal Bond (CU); Single bond Universal (SBU)). After surface treatment, resin discs were bonded to each lithium disilicate using dual-cure resin cement. Bonded specimens were stored in distilled water for 24 h and then subjected to microtensile bond strength (μTBS) test. Failure modes were examined under stereomicroscope. Microscopic observation of bonded interfaces was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. The μTBS data were statistically analyzed. Regardless of silane treatment, all groups treated with HF showed higher bonding strengths compared to those that were not treated with HF (p < 0.05). In groups treated with HF, the bonding strength increased after silane application (p < 0.05) except PB and CU (p > 0.05). Adhesive failures were dominant in all groups, but some mixed failures were observed in ABU treated with HF and silane. While most of the specimens that were not treated with silane after HF application only showed loose bonding between the ceramic and resin cement due to partial gaps, the specimens treated with silane application after HF showed a tight ceramic–resin interface. In conclusion, the silane in universal adhesives did not effectively improve the bonding strength between lithium disilicate and resin cement.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Clinical guidelines for obtaining accurate scan data during the intraoral scanning of inlay cavities with various configurations and interproximal distances are lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of interproximal distance and cavity type on the accuracy of digital scans for inlay cavities, including proximal cavities. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four artificial teeth with 4 types of inlay cavities designed based on the buccolingual width and gingival level of the proximal box were installed in a mannequin at distances of 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 mm from the adjacent teeth. Reference scans of the 4 artificial teeth were obtained by using a laboratory scanner. The CEREC Primescan AC was used to acquire digital scan data (each n=10). Standard tessellation language (STL) files were analyzed with a 3-dimensional analysis software program. The mean deviation values were measured with a 3-dimensional best-fit alignment method to evaluate the accuracy of the digital scan data. Statistical analyses were performed by using 2-way ANOVA and the Bonferroni multiple comparison test (α=.05). RESULTS As per the interproximal distance, the 1.0-mm group showed significantly higher trueness than the 0.6-mm group (P<.05). As the interproximal distance increased, the maximum positive deviation significantly decreased (P<.05). Maximum negative deviation and precision of the scan data were not significantly different among the distance groups (P>.05). Cavity type had a significant influence on the trueness and precision of the scan data (P<.05). In particular, the narrow long cavity type had an adverse effect on the precision and maximum positive deviation of scan data. CONCLUSIONS During the intraoral scanning of class II inlay restoration, interproximal distance and cavity type affected the accuracy of an intraoral scan. As the interproximal distance increased, the trueness of the acquired digital images increased and the maximum positive deviation significantly decreased. The narrow long cavity type negatively affected the mean maximum positive deviation and precision of scan data.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the height and depth of buccal non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) and the relationship between the size of buccal NCCLs and clinical crown-root ratio of both buccal and lingual (palatal) sides using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) images of the teeth and periodontal tissues from the cadavers. The micro-CT images of 56 teeth and their supporting tissues were obtained from 17 cadavers. From these images, the height and depth of NCCLs and the length of the buccal and lingual (palatal) clinical crowns were measured, and the conventional/modified clinical crown-root ratios were calculated. The height and depth ratio of NCCLs were analyzed statistically with the conventional/modified crown-root ratios by Pearson's correlation and multiple regression. According to the Pearson's correlation, the height and depth of buccal NCCLs were positively correlated with the modified buccal clinical crown-root ratio (p < 0.001 and p = 0.013, respectively). The regression model composed of variables of crown-root ratios explained the height of buccal NCCLs, and the prominent factor of the model was the modified buccal clinical crown-root ratio (p < 0.001). Moreover, the depth of buccal NCCLs was also explained by the regression model, and its prominent factor was the proportion of modified buccal and lingual (palatal) clinical crowns (p = 0.004). The buccal NCCLs were related to the crown-root ratios; particularly, the level of buccal gingival margin could be associated with the formation of buccal NCCLs.

Abstract
In this in vitro study, spherical mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticle (MBGN) and non-porous bioactive glass nanoparticle (BGN) were fabricated. The impact of mesopores on dentinal tubule occlusion and bioactivity was compared to examine the potential of these materials in alleviating dentine hypersensitivity (DH). MBGN, dense BGN were synthesized by sol-gel methods and characterized. Bioactivity and ion dissolution ability were analyzed. Twenty-four simulated sensitive dentin discs were prepared and randomly divided into three groups (n = 8 each); Group 1, no treatment; Group 2, Dense BGN; Group 3, MBGN. Then, four discs per group were treated with 6wt.% citric acid challenge to determine the acidic resistance. The effects on dentinal tubule occlusion were observed by FESEM. The microtensile bond strength (MTBS) was also measured. Cytotoxicity was examined using the MTT assay. According to the results, dense BGN without mesopore and MBGN with mesopore were successfully fabricated. Dense BGN and MBGN occluded the dentinal tubule before and after acid challenge. However, only MBGN formed a membrane-like layer and showed hydroxyapatite formation after soaking SBF solution. There were no significant differences in MTBS among dense BGN, MBGN (P>0.05). The cell viability was above 72% of both materials. The higher bioactivity of MBGN compared with that of dense BGN arises from the structural difference and it is anticipated to facilitate dentin remineralization by inducing hydroxyapatite deposition within the dentinal tubule.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of G-CEM One Primer (GCOP) and self-etching adhesive on the microtensile bond strength (µTBS) between self-adhesive resin cement G-CEM One (GCO) and dentin. Teeth were sectioned to expose the flat dentin surface and randomly assigned into five groups (n = 15) according to the dentin surface treatment: 1) no surface treatment, 2) GCOP, 3) All-Bond Universal (ABU), 4) GCOP followed by ABU (GCOP/ABU), 5) ABU followed by GCOP (ABU/GCOP). The composite resin blocks were bonded to the dentin surface using GCO. The specimens were stored in distilled water at 37 °C for 24 h, then sectioned into sticks (1 mm × 10 mm). The μTBS values were statistically analyzed using 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD) test (α = 0.05) and failure mode was examined under a stereomicroscope. The bonding interface of each specimen was evaluated using confocal laser scanning microscopy. The GCOP group exhibited the highest µTBS value and there were no significant differences observed between GCOP, GCOP/ABU, ABU/GCOP groups (p > 0.05). The use of GCOP with GCO results in the improved µTBS between GCO and dentin. In conclusion, using only GCOP with GCO for bonding of indirect restoration is extremely simple and increasing bond strength.

Abstract
Background
Paradoxical beneficial effects of obesity on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality have been reported in multiple cohort studies based on patients with cardiovascular disease as well as general populations. However, the association between the presence of obesity at baseline and the better survival rates could not be directly interpreted into the beneficial effect of gain in obesity or fatness on the mortality, which makes it difficult to provide any recommendation for the management of obesity. Therefore, we investigated the influence of the changes in body fat on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in a general population.
Methods
A population-based cohort study has been conducted for 12 years (from 2001 to 2012). A total of 5,259 subjects in whom body compositions using a bio-impedance method were measured at least 2 times during the observational period were included. The causes of death was identified from the nation-wide database in KOSTAT. I20-I82 and R99 in the International Classification of Disease-10 codes were defined as a cardiovascular death. The subjects were evenly divided into 3 groups by the percentages of the changes in body fat (Δ%BF; decreased [Δ%BF <0.0%] vs. increased [Δ%BF 0.0–13.7%] vs. highly increased [Δ%BF ≥13.7%]). Inverse probability of treatment weighting was applied to balance the covariate differences among the groups.
Results
The age was 51.2±8.5 years and 51.6% was male. Median observation duration was 163 (the interquartile range: 157–168) months. The all-cause death and cardiovascular death occurred most frequently in the decreased Δ%BF group and least frequent in the highly increased Δ%BF group in both unweighted and weighted cohort. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models showed that the risk of all-cause death was lower in the increased and highly increased Δ%BF groups (hazard ratio [HR] 0.61 [0.47–0.80] and 0.24 [0.17–0.34], respectively) and the risk of cardiovascular death was lower in the highly increased Δ%BF group (HR 0.20 [0.08–0.48]), compared to those in the decreased Δ%BF group after adjustment for all covariates including physical activities and the changes in muscle mass. The risk of all-cause death and cardiovascular death linearly decreased with increasing Δ%BF (HR 0.72 [0.67–0.77] and 0.70 [0.60–0.82], respectively).
Conclusion
The increase in body fat is associated with a lower risk of all-cause death and cardiovascular death in a middle-age general population, independently with physical activities and the changes in muscle mass.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
Patients with diabetes mellitus have an elevated risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, whether insulin resistance may elevate risk of AF incidence in non-diabetic is inconsistent. The aim of our study was to verify the association between insulin resistance and incidence of AF in non-diabetics.
Methods
We evaluated population-based cohorts embedded in the Korean Genome Epidemiology Study. Insulin resistance was expressed as Homeostasis Model Assessment for Insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Baseline data including HOMA-IR and electrocardiography (ECG) were obtained at 2001. Subsequent biennial ECG was performed for identification of AF until 2016.
Results
Among the 8220 participants (46.8% male; median age 49 years), 25 participants had AF (0.3%) at baseline and 101 participants developed AF (1.2%) during follow up of 12 years. In multivariate Cox regression analysis, high HOMA-IR (≥1.4) was significantly associated with incident AF compared with low HOMA-IR (<1.40) (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.9, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.3–3.0). In subgroup analysis, these association was consistent regardless of obesity (BMI<25; adjust HR 1.8, 95% CI 1.1–3.0, BMI≥25; adjust HR 2.3, 95% CI 1.3–4.0)
Subgroup analysis
Conclusion
Based on prospective cohort study, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was associated with AF independently of obesity in non-diabetics.

Abstract
This in vitro study examined the sealing ability of different desensitizing agents under a chemo-mechanical stress condition. For the study, a total of 144 extracted, caries-free human third molars were used to produce 1 mm-thick dentin discs. The specimens were divided randomly into four groups: Superseal (SS), Gluma (GL), Gluma Self-etch (GS), and Tooth Coat (TC). For each group, the permeability was measured before and after applying the desensitizer, after being exposed to Coca Cola for 5 minutes, and after 3150 strokes of a brushing abrasion. The decrease in permeability after the erosive and abrasive stress was analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test. As a result, the dentin permeability decreased significantly for all desensitizers immediately after application (p < 0.05). SS and GS showed a significant difference in permeability reduction observed immediately after application and after acid action with Coca Cola (p < 0.05). After brushing abrasion, the permeability reduction decreased significantly for all desensitizers tested in this study (p < 0.05). TC showed the largest decrease in dentinal permeability compared to that of the other desensitizers and the differences were significant after brushing abrasion (p < 0.05). All tested desensitizers were effective in reducing dentin permeability. The behavioral characteristics under erosive and abrasive stress varied according to the products used. TC exhibited excellent sealing ability among the other desensitizers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Visual differentiation of resin and tooth in a tooth cavity is not simple due to their highly similar shade. The purpose of the present study was to find any noninvasive method which can effectively differentiate resin from sound tooth in a resin-imbedded tooth for resin repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS For the study, various resin products were imbedded into the cavity of sound tooth. By applying laser of different wavelengths, autofluorescence (AF) of sound tooth and resin products were obtained. Microhardness, X-ray radiograph, and DIAGNOdent were tested for each tooth, resin product, and resin-imbedded tooth. RESULTS For the AF spectra obtained using the 405-nm wavelength, sound tooth has emission peak at 440-470 nm and near 490 nm. Sound tooth has several times higher microhardness than resin products regardless of position in tooth subsurface. Due to the difference of radiopaque fillers' composition and concentration, resin products have different brightness in the X-ray radiograph. DIAGNOdent readings for tooth and resin products were inconsistently different, and the difference of obtained values was slightly not to be applicable for the differentiation. CONCLUSION Among the tested methods, with noninvasive treatment, AF spectrum by the 405-nm wavelength showed the apparent difference between resin and tooth. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE For the resin repair in a resin-imbedded tooth cavity, AF spectrum produced by 405-nm wavelength could be a useful method in tracing the resin-tooth boundary if combined with conventional X-ray radiography.

Abstract
The effects of dentin wetness on the bond strength and adhesive interface morphology of universal adhesives have been investigated using micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) testing and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Seventy-two human third molars were wet ground to expose flat dentin surfaces. They were divided into three groups according to the air-drying time of the dentin surfaces: 0 (without air drying), 5, and 10 s. The dentin surfaces were then treated with three universal adhesives: G-Premio Bond, Single Bond Universal, and All-Bond Universal in self-etch or etch-and-rinse mode. After composite build up, a μTBS test was performed. One additional tooth was prepared for each group by staining the adhesives with 0.01 wt % of Rhodamine B fluorescent dye for CLSM analysis. The data were analyzed statistically using ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc tests (α = 0.05). Two-way ANOVA showed significant differences among the adhesive systems and dentin moisture conditions. An interaction effect was also observed (p < 0.05). One-way ANOVA showed that All-Bond Universal was the only material influenced by the wetness of the dentin surfaces. Wetness of the dentin surface is a factor influencing the micro-tensile bond strength of universal adhesives.

Abstract
Onion (Allium cepa L.) and quercetin protect against oxidative damage and have positive effects on multiple functional parameters of spermatozoa, including viability and motility. However, the associated underlying mechanisms of action have not yet been identified. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of onion peel extract (OPE) on voltage-gated proton (Hv1) channels, which play a critical role in rapid proton extrusion. This process underlies a wide range of physiological processes, particularly male fertility. The whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used to record the changes in Hv1 currents in HEK293 cells transiently transfected with human Hv1 (HVCN1). The effects of OPE on human sperm motility were also analyzed. OPE significantly activated the outward-rectifying proton currents in a concentration-dependent manner, with an EC50 value of 30 μg/mL. This effect was largely reversible upon washout. Moreover, OPE induced an increase in the proton current amplitude and decreased the time constant of activation at 0 mV from 4.9 ± 1.7 to 0.6 ± 0.1 sec (n = 6). In the presence of OPE, the half-activation voltage (V1/2 ) shifted in the negative direction, from 20.1 ± 5.8 to 5.2 ± 8.7 mV (n = 6), but the slope was not significantly altered. The OPE-induced current was profoundly inhibited by 10 μm Zn2+ , the most potent Hv1 channel inhibitor, and was also inhibited by treatment with GF109203X, a specific protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor. Furthermore, sperm motility was significantly increased in the OPE-treated groups. OPE exhibits protective effects on sperm motility, at least partially via regulation of the proton channel. Moreover, similar effects were exerted by quercetin, the major flavonoid in OPE. These results suggest OPE, which is rich in the potent Hv1 channel activator quercetin, as a possible new candidate treatment for human infertility.

Abstract
This study examined the effects of different application times of sodium ascorbate (SA) on the bond strength of composite resin to bleached dentin. Specimens with an exposed dentin surface were divided into 3 groups according to the type of bleaching agent used: Group A, mixture of sodium perborate (SP) and distilled water (DW); Group B, mixture of SP and hydrogen peroxide (HP); control group, no bleaching. Each group was classified into 10 subgroups. Subgroups IB and DB underwent immediate bonding and delayed bonding, respectively. 10% SA was applied to 3, 5, 10, and 30 minutes and 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours, respectively. Microtensile bond strength (μTBS) was measured after restoration, and the data was analyzed by one-way ANOVA and Scheffé's test. Before restoration, the dentin surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). SEM showed that most dentin surfaces were filled with crystals when SA was applied to more than 24 hours. EDS revealed peaks of calcium, carbon, oxygen, and sodium. The application of SA for 5 minutes to 48 hours or for 30 minutes to 24 hours is suggested when a mixture of SP and DW or HP is used, respectively.

Abstract
Catheter probe endoscopic ultrasonography (C-EUS) by ultrasonographic jelly-filled method has been used to evaluate esophageal subepithelial tumors (SETs). Ultrasonographic jelly is safe on the skin, but its internal safety has not been demonstrated. The jelly stored at room temperature is easily injected into the esophagus through the instrument channel of the endoscope. However, using jelly stored at room temperature remains problematic because the jelly is drained rapidly. We used cold lubricating jelly and an intravenous extension tube to resolve these problems. In this study, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of cold lubricating jelly-filled method. The medical records of patients who underwent C-EUS by using water or cold lubricating jelly-filled method for esophageal SETs from March 2013 to September 2016 in Gangneung Asan hospital were reviewed. Clinical characteristics and EUS findings were evaluated retrospectively. Image quality and procedure time between water and cold lubricating jelly-filled method were compared retrospectively. This study included 138 patients (74 males, 64 females) with esophageal SET with a mean age of 57.1 ± 11.1 years. Thirty-four patients had lesions in the upper esophagus, 58 patients had lesions in the middle esophagus, and 46 patients had lesions in the lower esophagus. The EUS diagnoses were leiomyoma (82.6%), hemangioma (4.3%), extrinsic compressive lesion (3.6%), granulosa cell tumor (2.9%), ectopic calcification (1.4%), cyst (1.4%), lipoma (0.7%), varix (0.7%), and inconclusive lesion (2.2%). The mean image score in the cold lubricating jelly filled-method group was higher than that in the water-filled method group (3.2 ± 0.7 vs. 2.8 ± 0.7, P = 0.002). The procedure time in the cold lubricating jelly filled-method group was shorter than that in the water-filled method group (10 minutes 27 seconds ± 4 minutes 22 seconds versus 13 minutes 20 seconds ± 6 minutes 20 seconds, P = 0.045). No procedure-related complication was observed. C-EUS using the cold lubricating jelly-filled method seems to provide better image quality and shorter procedure time compared with C-EUS using the water-filled method.

Abstract
Eupatilin (5,7-dihydroxy-3,4,6-trimethoxyflavone) is one of the main compounds present in Artemisia species. Eupatilin has both antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties and a relaxation effect on vascular contraction regardless of endothelial function. We evaluated the relaxant effects of eupatilin on the corpus cavernosum (CC) of rabbits and the underlying mechanisms of its activity in human corpus cavernosum smooth muscle (CCSM) cells. Isolated rabbit CC strips were mounted in an organ bath system. A conventional whole-cell patch clamp technique was used to measure activation of calcium-sensitive K+ -channel currents in human CCSM cells. The relaxation effect of eupatilin was evaluated by cumulative addition (10-5 m ~ 3 × 10-4 m) to CC strips precontracted with 10-5 m phenylephrine. Western blotting analysis was performed to measure myosin phosphatase targeting subunit 1 (MYPT1) and protein kinase C-potentiated inhibitory protein for heterotrimeric myosin light chain phosphatase of 17-kDa (CPI-17) expression and to evaluate the effect of eupatilin on the RhoA/Rho-kinase pathway. Eupatilin effectively relaxed the phenylephrine-induced tone in the rabbit CC strips in a concentration-dependent manner with an estimated EC50 value of 1.2 ± 1.6 × 10-4 m (n = 8, p < 0.05). Iberiotoxin and tetraethylammonium significantly reduced the relaxation effect (n = 8, p < 0.001 and p = 0.003, respectively). Removal of the endothelium or the presence of L-NAME or indomethacin did not affect the relaxation effect of eupatilin. In CCSM cells, the extracellular application of eupatilin 10-4 m significantly increased the outward currents, and the eupatilin-stimulated currents were significantly attenuated by treatment with 10-7 m iberiotoxin (n = 13, p < 0.05). Eupatilin reduced the phosphorylation level of MYPT1 at Thr853 of MLCP and CPI-17 at Thr38. Eupatilin-induced relaxation of the CCSM cells via NO-independent pathways. The relaxation effects of eupatilin on CCSM cells were partially due to activation of BKCa channels and inhibition of RhoA/Rho-kinase.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the microhardness, polymerization shrinkage, and translucency of bulk-fill composites (BFCs) which have different light attenuation properties and filler contents. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five BFCs [Filtek Bulk Fill (FB), SureFil SDR (SS), Venus Bulk Fill (VB), SonicFill (SF), and Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill (TB)] and two resin-based composites (RBCs) [Tetric N-Ceram (TN) and Filtek Z350XT Flowable (ZF)] were chosen. Numbers of transmitted photons, refractive index, microhardness at different thicknesses, polymerization shrinkage, and translucency parameter (TP) were evaluated. RESULTS Attenuation coefficients (ACs) based on measured photons ranged from -0.88 to -1.90. BFCs, except SF, had lower AC values than TN or ZF, and BFCs, except TN, had smaller refractive index decreases between top and bottom surfaces. Regardless of an exponential decrease in photon counts, microhardness decreased linearly as specimen thickens. Moreover, microhardness of BFCs showed smaller top-to-bottom decreases (11.5-48.8 %) than TN or ZF (57.3 and 71.5 %, respectively). BFCs with low filler contents showed lower microhardness and higher polymerization shrinkage than those of high filler contents. Also, BFCs had significantly higher (p < 0.001) TP values than TN or ZF. CONCLUSION BFCs attenuated light less than RBCs. However, some BFCs had much lower top surface microhardness and higher polymerization shrinkage than tested RBCs. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Despite the convenience of bulk filling, careful selection of BFC is advised because some BFCs have worse microhardness and polymerization shrinkage than RBCs due to their lower filler contents.

Abstract
To evaluate the effect of Schisandrol A on rabbit corpus cavernosum smooth muscle and elucidate the potential mechanism. Penises were obtained from healthy male New Zealand White rabbits (2.5-3.0 kg). The pre-contracted penis with phenylephrine (Phe, 10 µM) was treated with accumulative concentrations of Schisandrol A (10-7, 10-6, 10-5 and 10-4 M). The change in intracavernosum pressure (ICP) and tension was recorded, cyclic nucleotides in the cavernosum tissue were measured by radioimmunoassay, mRNA level and expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and neuronal NOS (nNOS) were measured by real time PCR and western blot respectively. The corpus cavernosum smooth muscle relaxation induced by Schisandrol A was in a dose-dependent manner. Pre-treatment with NOS inhibitor (Nω nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester, L-NAME) or guanylyl cyclase inhibitor (1H-(1,2,4)oxadiazolo(4,3-a)quinoxalin-1-one, ODQ) significantly diminished the relaxation. The cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) level was significantly increased in the cavernosum tissue. Real time PCR and western blot showed the mRNA level and expression of eNOS and nNOS was also upregulated. Schisandrol A relaxes the cavernosum smooth muscle by activating NO-cGMP signaling pathway. It may be a new promising treatment for erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular disease.

METHODS Between June 2012 and January 2015, male patients with urethritis symptoms that had resulted from sexual contact within 3 months participated in this study. All patients were evaluated using urinalysis and were screened for Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU), Mycoplasma genitalium (MG), Mycoplasma hominis (MH), herpes simplex virus (HSV) type II and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) using multiplex PCR (mPCR) assay in order to detect sexually transmitted infections (STI) or pathogens. RESULTS A total of 436 male patients aged 18-28 years were included in the study. The median age was 22.0 years. The prevalence of STI pathogens were as follows: NG in 19.0%, CT in 36.6%, UU in 24.0%, MG in 21.5%, MH in 6.1%, HSV type II in 1.6%, TV in 0.2% and indeterminate STI pathogens in 9.4%. Coinfection of NG with non-NG was detected in 5.7% of the participants, while the coinfection rates for STI pathogens were: with CT in 3.4%, with UU in 2.7%, with MG in 0.2% and with MH in 0.2%. CONCLUSIONS CT was the most prevalent STI pathogen and coinfections of NG with non-NG appeared less frequently. The young male soldiers with urethritis should be administered suitable antibiotics for STI pathogens that were found by mPCR results, rather than an experimental combination of antibiotics for coinfections.

Abstract
Effect of the columnar grain boundaries on the perpendicular magnetic domain structure of epitaxial L10 FePt (001) thin film has been studied using electron holography. The analysis of stray fields shows that both the continuous and columnar epitaxial films of L10 FePt (001) consist of perpendicular magnetic domain walls. In the columnar epitaxial film, however, the perpendicular domain walls tend to be confined to columnar grain boundaries, because columnar boundaries act as pinning sites for the domain walls. The domain wall pinning by columnar grain boundaries leads to a significant hysteresis effect in the perpendicular magnetization of L10 FePt epitaxial films.

Abstract
The objective was to investigate the cellular effect and action mechanism of Artemisia capillaris extract (ACE) and its component, scopoletin, on penile corpus cavernosum smooth muscle (PCCSM). In vitro study with PCCSM, the precontracted PCCSM with phenylephrine was treated with ACE or scopoletin. Cyclic nucleotides in the perfusate were measured by radioimmunoassay and expression of protein and mRNA of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and neuronal nitric oxide synthase in the perfused PCCSM were measured by western blot and real-time PCR, respectively. The interaction of ACE or scopoletin with udenafil was also evaluated. ACE and scopoletin exerted a significant and concentration-dependent relaxation in PCCSM. The perfusion with ACE or scopoletin significantly increased cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) and the perfusion with ACE or scopoletin increased the expression of eNOS mRNA and protein. Furthermore, ACE or scopoletin enhanced udenafil-inducing relaxation in PCCSM. ACE and scopoletin relaxed the PCCSM mainly by activating nitric oxide-cGMP system and cAMP pathway and they may be additive therapeutic candidates for ED patients who do not completely respond to udenafil.

Abstract
We present the online coupling of a free-flow isotachophoresis (FFITP) device to an electrospray ionization mass spectrometer (ESI-MS) for continuous analysis without extensive sample preparation. Free-flow-electrophoresis techniques are used for continuous electrophoretic separations using an electric field applied perpendicular to the buffer and sample flow, with FFITP using a discontinuous electrolyte system to concurrently focus a target analyte and remove interferences. The online coupling of FFITP to ESI-MS decouples the separation and detection timeframe because the electrophoretic separation takes place perpendicular to the flow direction, which can be beneficial for monitoring (bio)chemical changes and/or extensive MS(n) studies. We demonstrated the coupling of FFITP with ESI-MS for simultaneous concentration of target analytes and sample clean-up. Furthermore, we show hydrodynamic control of the fluidic fraction injected into the MS, allowing for fluidically controlled scanning of the ITP window. Future applications of this approach are expected in monitoring biochemical changes and proteomics.

Abstract
Objectives This study examined the color changes of a resin composite with different shades upon exposure to water with different pH. Materials and Methods Nanohybrid resin composites (Filtek Z350XT, 3M ESPE) with four different shades (A2, A3, B1, and B2) were immersed in water with three different pH (pH 3, 6, and 9) for 14 day. The CIE L*a*b* color coordinates of the specimens were evaluated before and after immersion in the solutions. The color difference (ΔE*) and the translucency parameter (TP) were calculated using the color coordinates. Results ΔE* ranged from 0.33 to 1.58, and the values were affected significantly by the pH. The specimens immersed in a pH 6 solution showed the highest ΔE* values (0.87 - 1.58). The specimens with a B1 shade showed the lowest ΔE* change compared to the other shades. TP ranged from 7.01 to 9.46 depending on the pH and resin shade. The TP difference between before and after immersion in the pH solutions was less than 1.0. Conclusions The resulting change of color of the tested specimens did not appear to be clinically problematic because the color difference was < 1.6 in the acidic, neutral, and alkaline solutions regardless of the resin shade, i.e., the color change was imperceptible.
