Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate by SEM morphological changes of dentin surfaces under the use of 5% NaOCl before applying different acids for etching. In the study, dentin surfaces were prepared from the middle third of 20 non-carious human third molars. Samples were divided into 2 groups with 3 subgroups each. In the first group, no application was performed on dentin surfaces. In the second group, 5% NaOCl was applied for 60 seconds on the dentin surfaces then rinsed with distilled water for 5 seconds. In all of the subgroups, dentin surfaces were etched by different conditioning agents for 15 seconds then rinsed for 30 seconds. After surface applications, all of the specimens were placed in distilled water. Morphological changes of dentin surfaces were determined by SEM. The results were evaluated by the scoring system based on Brannström et al. In the NaOCl treated groups, scores were as follows: The score of dentin without NaOCl treatment was 0, while it was 4 after phosphoric acid application, 3 after only citric acid-ferric chloride, and 1 after only maleic acid application. In the group where only NaOCl was applied, the score was not exactly 1 but slightly less. The score for NaOCl with phosphoric acid was 4, NaOCl with citric acid-ferric chloride was 3, and NaOCl with maleic acid was 2. Weak acid was found more effective on NaOCl treated dentin surfaces when compared with non-treated dentin surfaces.

Carrier water quality may affect the activity of weak acid herbicides when concentrations of some cations are high. A dose-response experiment on glyphosate and imazethapyr activity, which were carried by the carrier types of distilled water and hard water, against jimsonweed were conducted to compare the water conditioning chemicals ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, citric acid and potassium phosphate, with magnetized carrier as a new method. A magnetic field of 0.7 Tesla was applied to prepare the magnetized carrier. With the exception of potassium phosphate with imazethapyr, the activity of glyphosate and imazethapyr was significantly increased in the presence of the water conditioning methods when distilled water was used as the carrier. Ammonium sulfate was the most effective method. The activity of both herbicides was decreased when applied with hard water carrier. Potassium phosphate was not effective at reducing the antagonism of cations in the hard water carrier. In glyphosate, the performance of water conditioning methods in softening hard water carrier could be ranked as follows: ammonium sulfate (2.52-fold) > magnetized carrier (2.12-fold) ≥ citric acid (1.64-fold) ≥ ammonium nitrate (1.39-fold) > potassium phosphate (0.96-fold). In imazethapyr, this order was as follows: ammonium sulfate (2.99-fold) > ammonium nitrate (2.66-fold) > magnetized carrier (1.81-fold) ≥ citric acid (1.64-fold) > potassium phosphate (1.10-fold).

During follicular development in the mammalian ovary, several functional changes occur in the granulosa cells in response to steroid hormones and gonadotropins (1,2). In particular, marked changes in the content of membrane-associated receptors for the gonadotropins have been observed (1).We report here scanning electron microscope observations of morphological changes that occur on the granulosa cell surface in response to the administration of estradiol, human follicle stimulating hormone (hFSH), and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).Immature female rats that were hypophysectcmized on day 24 of age were treated in the following manner. Group 1: control groups were injected once a day with 0.1 ml phosphate buffered saline (PBS) for 3 days; group 2: estradiol (1.5 mg/0.2 ml propylene glycol) once a day for 3 days; group 3: estradiol for 3 days followed by 2 days of hFSH (1 μg/0.1 ml) twice daily, group 4: same as in group 3; group 5: same as in group 3 with a final injection of hCG (5 IU/0.1 ml) on the fifth day.

Background: Nasal packing is commonly done after septal surgeries. Nonabsorbable nasal pack is used to minimize bleeding from surgery site, support the mucoperichondrial flaps, and minimize the risk of formation of septal hematomas and adhesions. However, these materials cause pain and discomfort in-situ as well as during removal. This study was done to evaluate the effect of 2% lignocaine rehydration of nasal pack on pain during pack removal. Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 60 patients who had undergone septoplasty. The patients were divided into 2 groups: Lignocaine and Normal saline group, with 30 patients each. In the Lignocaine group, 2.5 ml of 2% of lignocaine was diluted with 2.5 ml of distilled water and was injected into the nasal pack; and in Normal saline group, 5 ml of normal saline was injected into the nasal pack. Nothing was injected to the left nostril, which acted as a control, in both groups. All patients were asked severity of pain during removal of nasal packing by VAS. Results: In lignocaine group, mean pain score was 3.73 ± 1.63 on lignocaine side and 6.23 ± 1.69 on control side (U=109.5, p<0.001). In Normal saline group, it was 6.5 ± 1.7 on normal saline side and 6.23 ± 1.96 on control side (U=425.5, p=0.711). On comparing VAS between lignocaine and normal saline group, pain was significantly lower in the lignocaine group (U=112.5, p<0.001) Conclusion: Rehydrating nasal pack with 2% topical lignocaine is a useful method to reduce pain during nasal pack removal.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of saliva contamination (SCT) and re-etching time (RET) on the shear bond strength (SBS) of the Fluroshield sealant. Forty-five extracted third molars were sectioned and flattened until reach an enamel surface area. Then, all samples were etched for 30 sec with 35% phosphoric acid and then they were distributed into 9 groups (n=10) according to SCT and RET (seconds), respectively: G1- control (no SCT and no RET); G2- 30s and 0s; G3- 60s and 0s; G4-30s and 2s; G5- 30s and 5s; G6- 30s and 15s; G7-60s and 2s; G8- 60s and 5s; G9- 60s and 15s. The sealant was applied according to the manufacturer's instructions. The samples were stored in distilled water at 37ºC for 72h and subjected to the SBS test. The results indicated that there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p>0.05). However, it could be noticed that: 1- the longer the SCT, the lower the SBS values; 2 - the longer the RET, the higher the SBS values. It could be concluded that there was a tendency to the shortest SCT (30s) associated to the longest RET (5 and 15s) to reach similar SBS values for the control group.

Morphological variations of geosynthetic clay liner (GCL) samples, hydrated with two different permeates, distilled water and NaCl solution (100 mM concentration), were observed in detail using microscopic analysis. After the GCL samples were hydrated with the NaCl solution, they were observed with an optical microscope. While the surface of the treated GCL samples was similar to the surface of the untreated GCL, a crystal deposit was found on the surface of the treated samples. Using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), a more solid appearance was observed for the bentonite particles contained in the GCL after the sample was hydrated with distilled water in comparison to the GCL sample that was hydrated with the NaCl solution. It appears that salt solution hydration results in less swelling of the bentonite particles. Furthermore, the energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) results showed that distilled water hydration had no effect on the distribution of the elements contained in the GCL samples. However, bound chlorine was observed, which demonstrated that the bentonite particles had absorbed the NaCl solution. In addition, changes in the hydraulic conductivity of the hydrated GCL samples were also observed.

Serial number restoration is a frequently encountered problem in forensic science laboratories for the investigation of theft and burglary cases. These identification marks are generally introduced over metallic surfaces of different vehicle parts and firearms by various means. Chemical etching is one of the most effective and simple technique to restore obliterated, erased, over-stamped and over-engraved marks on metallic surfaces. Several significant studies on restoration of engraved markings on aluminium surfaces were previously reported. The present study attempts to find out an efficient and fast etching reagent to restore obliterated stamped marks on aluminium surfaces. Ten effective etching reagents previously reported by various researchers in their restoration studies were assessed in the present experiment. Etching reagents were individually applied on obliterated surfaces by the cotton swabbing method. The Reagent 3 (ferric chloride 25 g, conc. HCl 25 mL, distilled water 100 mL) was found out to be the most sensitive and rapid (4–6 min) for the restoration on aluminium surfaces. The study also revealed that the absence of an alkaline compound in etching reagent potentially accelerates the speed of the restoration process.

<p>This study evaluated the influence of residual eugenol on the tensile strength in the ceromer crowns cementation, using resin cement. Thirty-nine third molars were prepared for a full crown. For each prepared tooth one provisional and one ceromer crown were made. The teeth were divided into three groups according the temporary cement (n=13): GTB: Temp Bond; GTBNE: Temp Bond NE and GDY: Dycal. After temporary cementation, the teeth were kept in distilled water for one week and then submitted to traction test in a universal testing machine (EMIC DL 500), using a 200Kgf load cell at 0.5mm/min speed. After the test, the teeth were cleaned and received the final adhesive cementation of ceromer crowns. Next, the specimens were kept in distilled water (37<sup>0</sup>C) for a week and then the traction test was performed, also at 0,5mm/min. The comparison among groups was carried out by variance analysis (ANOVA) followed by the Tukey test (p≤0.05). The results (Kgf) of provisional cementation for groups GTB, GTBNE and GDY were respectively: 2.75 ± 1.35b, 3.43 ± 1.66ab, and 4.48 ± 1.11a. The results of the adhesive cementation (Kgf) were respectively: 42.71 ± 15.33b, 57.59 ± 15.66a, and 54.75 ± 15.28ab. It was concluded that the temporary cement containing eugenol shows negative influence on the removal resistance of crowns cemented with resin cement. </p>
