Abstract
There is substantial evidence supporting the anti-inflammatory and regenerative potential of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) through direct cell transplantation or paracrine action. However, DPSC secretome profile remains inadequately studied. This study provides proteomic profiling of the human DPSC secretome by comparatively analysising cell lysates and respective culture supernatants (i.e. conditioned media-CM) under variable oxygen tension conditions (normoxia-20% O2/CM_Norm vs. hypoxia 2% O2/CM_Hyp) and/or stimulation with Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-α). DPSC-CM samples and respective crude lysates (DPSC-CL) were collected and subjected to SDS-PAGE, followed by LC-MS/MS analysis. The identified proteins were analyzed by Gene Ontology, Reactome, and String databases. The anti-inflammatory properties of DPSC-CMs were validated via an in vitro RAW_246.7 murine macrophages model through evaluation of the expression of pro-and anti-inflammatory markers by real-time PCR. Results showed a total of 2413 proteins identified in CM_Norm, 2479 in CM_Norm+TNF-α, 1642 in CM_Hyp, and 2002 in CM_Hyp + TNF-α samples. CM_Norm contained 122 proteins statistically significantly upregulated compared to the CM_Hyp and involved in pathways related to "ECM organization", "cellular response to hypoxia", and "IL signaling". Functional network analysis showed that TGFβ1, TIMP1 and TIMP2 were key nodes among proteins significantly upregulated in the CM_Norm compared to the CM_Hyp, interacting with more than 10 proteins, each. DPSC-CM application in the in vitro RAW_246.7 model decreased the expression of pro-inflammatory markers (MMP-3, MMP-9, MMP-13, MCP-1), while increasing anti-inflammatory markers (IL-10). Overall, DPSC-CM collected under normoxic conditions is enriched with anti-inflammatory, tissue repair and regenerative factors, which prompts further investigation on its therapeutic applications.

Abstract
SUMMARY
Objective:
This study evaluated the shear bond strength (SBS) of pretreated monolithic zirconia surfaces bonded to human dentin following immediate dentin sealing (IDS) using two different self-adhesive resin luting agents.
Methods and Materials:
Sixty intact human third molars were collected, stored, sectioned appropriately, and molded according to ISO 29022:2013, resulting in 120 dentin specimens. Ceramic cylindrical specimens were fabricated using CAD/CAM technology and sintered as recommended (final bonding area A=2.56 mm2). Specimens were randomly assigned to eight groups (15≥n≥14) depending on dentin conditioning method (IDS or delayed dentin sealing [DDS]), zirconia surface pretreatment (airborne particle abrasion [APA] with 50 μm Al2O3 particles at 3 bar for 10 seconds or tribochemical silica coating [TBC] with 30 μm CoJet particles at 2.8 bar for 10 seconds), and adhesive luting agent type (Panavia F2.0 [PAN] or PermaCem Dual Smartmix [PER]). Bonded specimens were water-stored (37°C, 24 hours) and subjected to SBS testing (50-kgF load cell, 1 mm/min). Fracture type was evaluated with stereomicroscopy. Data (MPa) were statistically analyzed using three-way analysis of variance (α=0.05).
Results:
All factors significantly affected SBS values (p<0.001). Dentin conditioning method presented the greatest effect. Mean SBS values ranged from 12.603 MPa (PER-APA-DDS) to 40.704 MPa (PER-TBC-IDS). Based on the fracture type, adhesive failures at the luting agent–zirconia interface were the least common.
Conclusion:
Bonding strategies for monolithic zirconia restorations could potentially benefit from IDS, regardless of the adhesive luting agent system used.

Abstract
This systematic review aimed to investigate whether intra-articular injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are beneficial for the treatment of degenerative temporomandibular disorders, such as temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) and disc displacement with osteoarthritic lesions, when compared to other treatments, such as injections of hyaluronic acid (HA) or saline. An electronic search of the MEDLINE and Scopus databases was performed using combinations of the terms "temporomandibular" and "platelet rich plasma", to identify studies reported in English and published up until May 2017. A hand-search of relevant journals and the reference lists of selected articles was also performed. The initial screening identified 153 records, of which only six fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included in this review. Of these studies, three compared PRP with HA, while three compared PRP with Ringer's lactate or saline. Four of the studies found PRP injections to be superior in terms of improvements in mandibular range of motion and pain intensity up to 12 months after treatment, while the remaining two studies found similar results for the different treatments. There is slight evidence for the potential benefits of intra-articular injections of PRP in patients with TMJ-OA. However, a standardized protocol for PRP preparation and application needs to be established.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Yttrium-stabilized zirconia is susceptible to low temperature degradation after interaction with water. Various mechanisms by which water molecules destabilize the tetragonal phase have been proposed, while the concept of yttrium depletion by the incorporation of hydroxyl ions in the crystalline structure either through the formation of YOH/ZrOH bonds or small α-Y(OH)3 crystallites, is prevailing. The present study was performed to investigate the surface alterations on a 3Y-TZP dental ceramic during the process of in-vitro aging and to further explore the yttrium depletion mechanism that occurs upon interaction with water. METHODS Surface structural changes of zirconia specimens where investigated before and after in-vitro aging with X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, fluorescence microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS High luminescence generated from the non-aged specimen was explained by the high amount of oxygen vacancies. The phase transformation from the t-ZrO2 to the m-ZrO2 phase after aging was accompanied by a significant loss of yttrium, a clear decrease of oxygen vacancies and a profound decrease of luminescence. Surface oxygen vacancies either migrated into the inner of the specimens or/and/engaged oxygen from the ZrO2 and formed the metallic phase of Y2O3 on the surface after aging. SIGNIFICANCE An "ideal" amount of oxygen vacancies that could stabilize the tetragonal phase in Y-TZP zirconia ceramics, without compromising esthetics and LTD resistance, is still a matter of further research and different susceptibilities to LTD among various dental zirconia ceramics are based on the amount of oxygen vacancies that can be annihilated by water molecules.

Abstract
SUMMARY
New emerging approaches in tissue engineering include incorporation of metal ions involved in various metabolic processes, such as Cu, Zn, Si into bioceramic scaffolds for enhanced cell growth and differentiation of specific cell types. The aim of the present work was to investigate the attachment, morphology, growth and mineralized tissue formation potential of Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs) seeded into Mg-based glassceramic scaffolds with incorporated Zn and Cu ions. Bioceramic scaffolds containing Si 60%, Ca 30%, Mg 7.5% and either Zn or Cu 2.5%, sintered at different temperatures were synthesized by the foam replica technique and seeded with DPSCs for up to 21 days. Scanning Electron Microscopy with associated Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) was used to evaluate their ability to support the DPSCs’s attachment and proliferation, while the structure of the seeded scaffolds was investigated by X-Ray Diffraction Analysis (XRD). Zn-doped bioceramic scaffolds promoted the attachment and growth of human DPSCs, while identically fabricated scaffolds doped with Cu showed a cytotoxic behaviour, irrespective of the sintering temperature. A mineralized tissue with apatite-like structure was formed on both Cu-doped scaffolds and only on those Zn-doped scaffolds heat-treated at lower temperatures. Sol-gel derived Zn-doped scaffolds sintered at 890oC support DPSC growth and apatite-like tissue formation, which renders them as promising candidates towards dental tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Although dental implants exhibit only limited failure rates, their fracture is associated to major modifications of the prosthetic treatment and complex surgery for the removal of the remaining embedded implant part. This investigation aims to assess the developing stress fields in the bone-implant interface during mastication and asses the failure modes of oral implants.In order to achieve this, a FEM model of an implant was reverse engineered and virtually loaded at the top of the crown for a force spectrum ranging from 75-225 N in a vertical, horizontal and oblique occlusal direction. The calculated stress fields were compared with clinically retrieved fractured implants with identical geometrical characteristics and the fracture modes of both cases were correlated. The developing stress patterns facilitated the interpretation of the implant failure as the maximum stresses, indicated critical values in both, lingual and buccal sides of the implant-bone interface at a certain critical level of bone resorption, in which failure occurs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Stem Cells residing in the Apical Papilla (SCAP) of human permanent teeth represent a promising cell source for dental tissue regeneration. Therefore, the functional and molecular properties of specific subpopulations existing within heterogeneous cultures should be further investigated to give insight whether their selection could be beneficial for targeted therapeutic applications. DESIGN In this study we extensively characterized SCAP cultures established from 10 healthy subjects, as well as their STRO-1(pos/)CD146(pos) and STRO-1(neg/)CD146(pos) subpopulations isolated with fluorescence-activated cell sorting. SCAP were analyzed for embryonic (Nanog, Oct3/4, SSEA-3, TRA-1-60), mesenchymal (STRO-1, CD146/MUC18, CD105/endoglin, CD24, CD90/Thy-1, CD81-TAPA, CD34, CD49f/a6-integrin), neural (CD271/NGFR, nestin) and hematopoietic (CD117/c-kit, CD45) stem cell (SC) markers using flow cytometry. Multipotentiality was evaluated with culture specific staining (Alizarin-Red-S, Oil- Red-O) and RT-PCR analysis for osteo/odontogenic (DSPP, BSP, ALP, osteocalcin, osteonectin, BMP-2, Runx2), adipogenic (lipoprotein-lipase-LPL) and neurogenic (Neurofilament/NFL-L, nestin, β-tubulin-III, NCAM) markers. RESULTS Our results showed that the STRO-1(pos)/CD146(pos) subpopulation demonstrated higher CFU efficiency and much higher expression of several embryonic and mesenchymal SC markers compared to the non-sorted SCAP. They also showed enhanced odontogenic differentiation potential, as evidenced by higher mineralization capacity and expression of osteo/odontogenic markers. By contrast, absence of STRO-1 in the STRO-1(neg)/CD146(pos) subpopulation yielded the opposite results and was associated with significant downgrading of the above-mentioned properties. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that STRO-1(pos)/CD146(pos) SCAP cells represent a very promising adult MSCs source with enhanced multipotent SC properties that could be easily isolated with simple flow cytometric methods to be used for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Listeria monocytogenes recovered from chicken carcasses in slaughterhouses in Northern Greece. A total of 100 poultry samples (300 carcasses) were examined for Listeria spp. The samples were neck skin taken from four different slaughterhouses in Northern Greece. Forty samples were also taken from the environment of the slaughterhouses. Identification of L. monocytogenes was carried out by PCR and fingerprinting of the isolates by random amplified polymorphic DNA. L. monocytogenes strains isolated from chicken carcasses and from the environment of the slaughterhouses were also examined for antibiotic resistance. Fifty-five isolates of L. monocytogenes were tested for susceptibility to 20 antibiotics using the disk diffusion method. Listeria spp. were present in 99 of the poultry samples tested (99%), and 38 yielded L monocytogenes (38%). L. monocytogenes was also isolated in 80% of samples from the environment of a certain slaughterhouse, while the other slaughterhouses were found to be contaminated only with Listeria spp. All isolates were resistant to nalidixic acid and oxolinic acid, the majority of them to clindamycin, and only a few to tetracycline and oxytetracycline, whereas they were found to be susceptible to all other antimicrobials. The results of this study demonstrate a high prevalence of L. monocytogenes contamination in chicken carcasses, and all isolates were found to be sensitive to the antimicrobials most commonly used to treat human listeriosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the in vitro osteo/odontogenic differentiation potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from the dental pulp (dental pulp stem cells - DPSCs) or the apical papilla (stem cells from the apical papilla - SCAP) of permanent developing teeth. DESIGN DPSCs and SCAP cultures were established from impacted third molars of young healthy donors at the stage of root development. Cultures were analysed for stem cell markers, including STRO-1, CD146, CD34 and CD45 using flow cytometry. Cells were then induced for osteo/odontogenic differentiation by media containing dexamethasone, KH(2)PO(4) and β-glycerophosphate. Cultures were analysed for morphology, growth characteristics, mineralization potential (Alizarin Red method) and differentiation markers (dentine sialophosphoprotein-DSPP, bone sialoprotein-BSP, osteocalcin-OCN, alkaline phosphatase-ALP), using immunocytochemistry and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS All DPSCs and SCAP cultures were positive for STRO-1, CD146 and CD34, in percentages varying according to cell type and donor, but negative for CD45. Both types of MSCs displayed an active potential for cellular migration, organization and mineralization, producing 3D mineralized structures. These structures progressively expressed differentiation markers, including DSPP, BSP, OCN, ALP, having the characteristics of osteodentin. SCAP, however, showed a significantly higher proliferation rate and mineralization potential, which might be of significance for their use in bone/dental tissue engineering. CONCLUSIONS This study provides evidence that different types of dental MSCs can be used in tissue engineering/regeneration protocols as an approachable stem cell source for osteo/odontogenic differentiation and biomineralization that could be further applied for stem cell-based clinical therapies.

Abstract
In this study, six groups of modified ceramic specimens were constructed and were studied comparatively with dental porcelain (P:control) for their ability to support human periodontal ligament fibroblasts attachment and proliferation. The dental porcelain was initially coated with bioactive glass (PCB) or with a mixture of porcelain and bioactive glass (PCBP) and then calcium-phosphate rich (Ca-P) or hydroxy-carbonate apatite (HCAp) layers were bio-mimetically developed on both surfaces (PCB and PCBP) after immersion in simulated body fluid. The development and characterization of Ca-P and HCAp layers on PCBCa-P, PCBHCAp, PCBPCa-P, PCBPHCAp specimens' surfaces were evaluated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and further confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The modified ceramics differed from their controls concerning their surface morphology as evaluated by SEM, and their surface chemical composition (Al, P, Si, Ca, Na and K) as evaluated by Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). Almost all modified specimens supported cell attachment, spreading and proliferation at higher extent than the control porcelain specimens. The additional layers of Ca-P or HCAp on PCBP and PCB specimens were found to positively affect cell attachment and proliferation. The highest cell population, of all specimens tested, was observed on PCBPCa-P and PCBPHCAp. The Ca-P particles present on all Ca-P and HCAp coated specimens seemed to be involved in cell adhesion.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the effect of applying two different Lactobacillus-protective cultures, with bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances' (BLIS) producing ability, individually or in combination, on microbiological, chemical and sensory changes during storage of refrigerated vacuum-packaged sliced beef meat. METHODS AND RESULTS Lactobacillus sakei CECT 4808 and Lactobacillus curvatus CECT 904(T), which were shown to be producers of BLIS, were inoculated individually or in combination on slices of beef M. semitendinosus. The samples were vacuum packaged and stored at 4 +/- 1 degrees C and were assessed during a 28-day storage period for microbiological [Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas spp., lactic acid bacteria (LAB), Brochothrix thermosphacta and yeasts and moulds], chemical (pH, protein hydrolysis degree, lipid oxidation), sensory (abnormal odour) parameters and instrumental colour. Samples inoculated with the Lact. sakei strain and samples inoculated with the combination of the two strains had significantly (P < 0.05) lower spoilage microbial counts than those inoculated with the Lact. curvatus strain alone or the controls, while both chemical parameters (including lipid oxidation) and abnormal odour scores were also significantly (P < 0.05) improved by the former. Moreover, Lact. sakei alone showed a better preserving effect (P < 0.05) than the combination of both strains in the majority of the parameters tested. Instrumental colour measurements changed with storage time, but no treatment effects (P >or= 0.05) were observed during the whole 28-day storage period. CONCLUSIONS The BLIS producer Lact. sakei CECT 4808 strain may be used for improving preservation of vacuum-packaged beef slices, as regards spoilage microbial counts and the chemical parameters tested in this study. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Inoculation with the BLIS producer Lact. sakei CECT 4808 strain would provide an additional hurdle to improve storage life of refrigerated vacuum-packaged sliced beef. Furthermore, this strain demonstrated limited antioxidative ability, which could make a contribution to the prevention of lipid oxidation in meat and meat products.

Abstract
There is limited knowledge concerning tooth and gingival display in the maxillary premolar area during smiling. The purpose of this study was to investigate maxillary premolar and associated gingival display during smiling, and to reveal possible differences related to gender and age. The study consisted of 90 males and 113 females (mean age 38 years, s.d. = 13.83) receiving regular dental care. Two pictures of each subject, one with lips in maximum smile, and the other a retracted frontal view, were made. Clinical crown length, tooth and gingival display were measured for the left maxillary premolars. Central incisors and canines were used as controls. anova with Bonferroni post hoc multiple comparisons tests was used to assess any statistically significant impact of gender and age on tooth and gingival display, and determine differences among gender and age groups (at 5% significance level). Premolars were partially visible in more than 80% of the smiles, and displayed more than 65% of their clinical crown length during smiling. The least display (P < 0.001) was recorded for first and the greatest for second premolars. Tooth display was greater in females, but statistically significant only in central incisors (P < 0.05). No significant differences were revealed between age subgroups. Gingival display was greater for premolars compared with both central incisors (P < 0.001) and canines (P < 0.05). Displayed gingiva was found in first and second premolars in 44 and 49% of subjects, respectively. More gingival display was recorded in females and in younger subjects.

Abstract
AIMS Retail packs of fresh chicken in Northern Ireland were sampled to determine the frequency with which they were contaminated with Salmonella and Listeria spp. METHODS Packs of chicken were chosen from supermarkets ensuring a diverse range of EU producer codes were sampled. Salmonellas were isolated using BS EN 12824: 1998 methodology, biotyped and serotyped whilst Listeria spp. were isolated based on EN ISO 11290-1: 1996 procedures and identified using a multiplex PCR system utilizing genus and species specific primers. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Only three of 205 samples yielded Salmonella spp. indicating that measures undertaken by the poultry industry to control this pathogen have apparently been successful. However, Listeria spp. were present in 38 of 80 samples tested (48%) and 14 (18%) yielded Listeria monocytogenes. Thus Salmonella controls do not markedly affect this pathogen and retail packs of raw chicken must be considered a potential source of L. monocytogenes, and appropriate precautions taken to prevent infection.

Abstract
Restorative dental materials are considered biocompatible without exhibiting any bioactive behaviour. The aim of this study was the investigation of surface structure changes on conventional dental ceramics used in metal-ceramic restorations modified by a bioactive glass, after immersion in SBF for various time periods. Bioactive glass powder was mixed with porcelain powder with three different weight ratios: 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1. The two powders were mixed with porcelain modelling liquid and the mixture was transferred and spread on the surface of pre-fabricated ceramic disks. Coated ceramic specimens after being exposed to a specific thermal cycle as it is recommended for dental ceramics were soaked in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) at 37 degrees C for various periods of time. After soaking, specimens were studied using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). Results revealed the development of a non-stoichiometric, biological apatite layer on their surface after exposure in SBF for several time periods. The onset of apatite-layer formation is directly dependent on the amount of bioglass in the coating and its thickness reduces within the specimens of the same bioactive glass-porcelain proportion with time, reaching an average thickness of 15 microm at the longest immersion time, for all the specimens.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of substrate characteristics such as chemical composition and surface morphology of dental ceramics to support cell attachment and proliferation. Thus, body (B) and shoulder (S) porcelain differing on their surface morphology and composition were treated with oxides CaO or CaO and P(2)O(5) and four modified ceramics BCa, BCaP, SCa, SCaP were constructed, respectively. The modified ceramics differ from their controls concerning their surface morphology as evaluated by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and their surface chemical composition (Na, KP and Ca) as evaluated by Energy Dispersing Spectroscopy (EDS). All modified ceramics support better than the control ceramics the cell proliferation over 72 h incubation period. Furthermore, higher rates of cell proliferation was detected in shoulder modified ceramics (SCa and SCaP) than in all other cases.

Abstract
Different treatments were applied to Campylobacter jejuni-inoculated unpasteurized milk to identify means of enhancing the survival of the organism in refrigerated (4 degrees C) samples. The greatest survival occurred in milk supplemented with 0.01% sodium bisulfite and held under an atmosphere of 100% nitrogen (bisulfite-nitrogen), in most instances allowing isolation of C. jejuni from highly contaminated milk 15 or more days longer than from unsupplemented milk held in air (21% oxygen). Although a larger amount of Campylobacter was consistently recovered from milk treated with bisulfite-nitrogen, similar isolation rates (qualitative) resulted from milk stored in air and supplemented with 0.01% sodium bisulfite and 0.15% sodium thioglycolate when analyzed within 12 days after sampling. Milk samples to be transported and assayed at a later date would best be held refrigerated (4 degrees C) and supplemented with 0.01% sodium bisulfite and either 0.15% sodium thioglycolate or an atmosphere of 100% nitrogen.

Abstract
The effects of bisulfite, atmospheric oxygen content, and temperature on death of Campylobacter jejuni were studied to more fully define the optimum conditions for survival. Temperature was the most influential factor affecting survival, death occurring up to eight times more rapidly at 25 degrees C than at 4 degrees C. Survival was greater in an oxygen-free environment (100% N2) than in the presence of any level of oxygen, i.e. 5, 21 or 100% O2; however, factors other than oxygen concentration appeared to have a much greater influence on death of Campylobacter jejuni at 25 degrees C than at 4 degrees C. Greater survival at each temperature and oxygen concentration occurred in the presence of 0.01% sodium bisulfite than in no or 0.05% sodium bisulfite. In most instances, 0.05% sodium bisulfite was toxic to Campylobacter jejuni, as the organism died more rapidly in medium containing this level of bisulfite than no bisulfite. Results indicate that cultures to be transported and/or assayed for Campylobacter jejuni at a later date would best be suspended in a medium containing 0.01% sodium bisulfite, held in an anaerobic environment, and maintained at 4 degrees C.
