Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the thickness of the unpolymerized surface layer of autopolymerizing polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and PMMA-glass fibre (GF) composite. Powder-to-liquid (P/L) ratios of 10 : 8, 10 : 9 and 10 : 10 by weight of the commercial PMMA was tested and the E-glass fibre weave was used as filler in the PMMA-GF composite. The resin was polymerized between two glass plates at 55 degrees C in air under an air pressure of 300 kPa. Five samples were polymerized for each test group. The inhibition depth was measured by a light microscopic technique with polarized light. The inhibition depth was affected by the P/L ratio of the PMMA: the mean inhibition depth of the unfilled PMMA with the P/L ratio of 10 : 10 was 248.6 microm, while it was 175.4 microm in PMMA with the P/L ratio of 10 : 8 (p=0.044). The inhibition depths were higher in the PMMA-GF composite than in the plain PMMA, which was explained by an inadequate impregnation of the GF weave with the PMMA resin. The results suggest that improper impregnation of the fibre product with autopolymerizing PMMA resin can cause oxygen inhibition of the polymerization reaction which should be taken into account when fibre products are clinically used.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
