Laser Applications in Metal Orthodontic Bracket Debonding: A Systematic Review by Patryk Woś, Sylwia Kiryk, Tomasz Dyl, Jan Kiryk, Tomasz Horodniczy, Magdalena Szablińska, Magdalena Aleksandra Dubowik, Wojciech Dobrzyński, Marcin Mikulewicz, Jacek Matys, Maciej Dobrzyński

“…The Nd:YAG (neodymium-yttrium, aluminum, garnet) laser was found to cause significant temperature rises, posing a potential risk to pulp tissue, while the Er:YAG (erbium—yttrium, aluminum, garnet) and Er,Cr:YSGG (erbium, chromium—yttrium, scandium, gallium, garnet) lasers produced only negligible increases in pulp temperature. SBS comparisons revealed no significant differences between the laser-assisted and traditional debonding methods. …”

Simulation and analysis of marine hydrodynamics based on the El Niño scenario by M. Ikhwan, R. Wafdan, Y. Haditiar, M. Ramli, Z. Muchlisin, S. Rizal

“…The eastern domain has the highest sea level amplitude, resulting in perfect mixing up to a depth of 100 m, while wind effect is negligible in the lower layers. The first layer (0-50 m) and the second layer (50-100 m) have the same density and occur along the equator, according to FFT. …”

Kinetic Analysis of the Reduction Processes of a Cisplatin Pt(IV) Prodrug by Mesna, Thioglycolic Acid, and Thiolactic Acid by Yanqing Xia, Hongwu Tian, Yanlei Li, Xinru Yang, Jinming Liu, Chunli Liu, Li Zhou, Lincai Zhang, Tiejian Li, Tiesheng Shi

“…The species versus pH and reactivity of species versus pH distribution diagrams were constructed, demonstrating that the species ‒SCH2CH2SO3‒ of Mesna largely governs the total reactivity when pH > 5; in contrast, the form of Mesna per se (mainly as HSCH2CH2SO3‒) makes a negligible contribution. In addition, a well-determined dissociation constant for the Mesna thiol group (pKa2 = 8.85 ± 0.05 at 25.0°C and μ = 1.0 M) is offered in this work, which was determined by both kinetic approach and spectrophotometic titration method.…”

Study of absorbable dural sealant to improve complications after craniocerebral surgery and its application strategy and standardized operation procedure by Caizhi Ma, Zhe Han, Shouji Zhang, Jia Li, Huizhong Chi, Qingtong Wang, Hongyu Zhao, Deze Jia, Kailiang Zhang, Zichao Feng, Hongwei Wang, Jie Gong, Shilei Ni, Gang Li, Xueen Li, Hao Xue

“…Background: Infection after craniocerebral operation has always been a very focused problem, and dural closure can reduce perioperative infection by reducing drainage volume and subcutaneous effusion, so how to effectively perform dural closure seems to be a small but not negligible problem. Methods: We proposed a classification and grading system for dural incisions based on the type and degree of suture, and based on the system, a standardized operation process for ADS (absorbable dural sealant) was developed. …”
