Effects of matrix composition and surface treatment on the bond strength of glass fiber-reinforced composite posts to root dentin by Melika Hoseinzadeh, Ehsan Baradaran Naseri, Mohammad Javad Moghaddas, Navid Kerayechian, Sajjad Mosafer

“…Additionally, their bond strengths were comparable in the middle section when the post surfaces were treated with air abrasion and silanization, or 35% H₃PO₄ (P > 0.05).Conclusions: Air abrasion and silanization could be suggested as the optimal surface treatment strategy to improve the bond strength of FRC posts to resin cement. Proper mechanical and chemical surface treatments might be more important than the resin matrix composition in determining the bond strength of FRC posts.…”

VE-cadherin cleavage by LasB protease from Pseudomonas aeruginosa facilitates type III secretion system toxicity in endothelial cells. by Guillaume Golovkine, Eric Faudry, Stéphanie Bouillot, Romé Voulhoux, Ina Attrée, Philippe Huber

“…Interestingly, the epithelial (E)-cadherin was unaffected by T2SS effectors, indicating that this mechanism is specific to endothelial cells. We showed that one of the T2SS effectors, the protease LasB, directly affected VE-cadherin proteolysis, hence promoting cell-cell junction disruption. …”

The stability of soil aggregates in sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) orchards of different ages and varieties by Muhao Chen, Shu Feng, Jun Wang, Mingyu Gao, Min Liu, Kaibo Wang, Zhou-ping Shangguan, Yongwang Zhang

“…The results demonstrated that the particle size content of soil aggregates differed among the varieties of sweet cherry in different soil layers. The mechanical stability of soil aggregates was found to be the lowest in Jimei cherry orchard, where the mass ratio of aggregates with particle sizes exceeding 0.25 mm (R > 0.25) was below the highest 20.99 %, geometric mean diameter (GMD) was below 22.52 %, and mean weight diameter (MWD) was below 17.46 %. …”
