Moulded articles, such as dentures, are prepared from compositions consisting wholly or mainly of polymethyl methacrylate and a copolymer of methyl methacrylate with a vinyl halide, the copolymer containing 60 to 75 per cent by weight of vinyl halide.  The process of manufacture is preferably that in which a mixture of monomeric methyl methacrylate and the copolymer is put into the mould which is then heated, thereby polymerizing the monomer.  An example describes a copolymer of methyl methacrylate and vinyl chloride, prepared in emulsion, which is ground, mixed with colouring matter and benzoyl peroxide and made into a paste with methyl methacrylate.  The moulding is then effected (see Group V) and the articles may finally be ground and polished.ALSO:Dentures are moulded from compositions comprising monomeric methyl methacrylate and a copolymer of methyl methacrylate and a vinyl halide, the copolymer containing 60 to 75 per cent by weight of vinyl halide.  The mixture is worked into a mass containing a little colouring matter and benzoyl peroxide and introduced into a plaster dental mould, the surface of which has been treated with waterglass solution.  The mould is closed and pressed and excess filling removed.  The mould is then heated to 100 DEG C. in water thereby polymerizing the monomer and forming the article which may finally be ground and polished.
Despite few studies on Asian American breast cancer survivors, it is well known that these women shoulder unnecessary burden of breast cancer because they rarely complain about symptoms or pain, delay seeking help, and rarely ask or get support due to their cultural values and beliefs and language barriers. This demonstrates a definite need for support in this specific population. However, survivorship programs that are increasingly instituted at cancer centers have serious impediments to providing information and coaching/support because of the lack of staff time and insurance reimbursement. Furthermore, the pressure of fast-paced clinical patient-provider interactions leaves little time for health care providers to provide up-to-date information and coaching or support for these women based on their cultural attitudes. All these circumstances necessitate an innovative and creative delivery method of information and coaching/support. A technology-based approach using computers and mobile devices (smart phones and tablets) promises to meet this necessity with high flexibility and accessibility, and minimizes the cost of the intervention in busy and costly health care settings. Also, a technology-based intervention that does not involve face-to-face interactions could work better for many women from cultures where breast cancer is still a stigmatizing experience. Therefore, based on preliminary studies, the research team has developed and pilot-tested a theory-driven technology-based information and coaching/support program that is culturally tailored to Asian American breast cancer survivors using multiple features. The purpose of the proposed randomized intervention study is to test the efficacy of the technology-based information and coaching/support program for Asian American breast cancer survivors (TICAA) in enhancing the women's breast cancer survivorship experience. The specific aims are to: a) determine whether the intervention group will show significantly greater improvements than the control group in primary outcomes (needs for help, physical and psychological symptoms, and quality of life) from baseline (pre-test) to Time Points 1 (post 1-month) and 2 (post 3-months); b) identify theory-based variables (attitudes, self-efficacy, perceived barriers, and social influences related to breast cancer survivorship) that mediate the intervention effects of the TICAA on the primary outcomes at the three time points (pre-test, post 1-month and post 3-months); and c) determine whether the effects of the TICAA on the primary outcomes are moderated by background characteristics and disease factors. The proposed study will be guided by the Bandura's Theory of Behavioral Change. This study adopts a randomized repeated measures pretest/posttest control group design in 330 Asian American breast cancer survivors. The long-term goals are to: (a) implement the program into various health care settings; (b) determine if the TICAA will lead to long-term improved health outcomes; and (c) fundamentally enhance the methodology/paradigm of culturally tailored technology-based interventions for ethnic minority groups of breast cancer survivors.

They will then receive two injections of placebo (sodium chloride for injection, 0.9%) each administered as 1 mL IM in the left deltoid, and 1 injection of placebo (sodium chloride for injection, 0.9%) administered as 1 mL IM in the right deltoid at Months 3 and 6.
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a novel hepatopahy inhibitor which is safe and can easily be prepared by including an extract from Hemerocallis fulva Linn. var. sempervirens. SOLUTION: This novel hepatopathyl inhibitor is obtained by including an extract from Hemerocallis fulva Linn. var. sempervirens as an active ingredient. The above extract is obtained preferably by extracting with water and/or a water-soluble polar organic solvent (e.g. methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, acetone or the like), more preferably by removing an extract extracted with a water-insoluble organic solvent (e.g. n-hexane, ethyl acetate or the like) from Hemerocallis fulva Linn. var. sempervirens followed by extracting the resultant residue with water and/or a water-soluble polar organic solvent. When administrated as a medicine, it is favorable to be orally administrated once or several times at a does of 500-5,000 mg/day/adult as the extract from Hemerocallis fulva Linn. var. sempervirens.
PURPOSE: The primary goal of this study was to determine the anatomic relationship between the clavicle and the apical lung segment. The secondary goal was to determine the incidence of pneumothorax (PTX) in patients who underwent clavicle ORIF to analyze the utility of postoperative chest radiographs.
METHODS: Six hundred thirty-one patients with a midshaft clavicle fracture who underwent superior plating at a single institution were identified. Forty-two patients had a CT scan of the chest. Three points on the uninjured clavicle were defined: 2 cm from the medial end of the clavicle, the mid-point of the clavicle, and 2 cm from the lateral end of the clavicle. At each point, the distance from both the inferior cortex and the superior cortex of the clavicle to the apical lung segment was measured. All 631 patients who underwent Open Reduction and Internal Fixation had a postoperative chest radiograph to evaluate implant placement, restoration of clavicular length, and presence of PTX.
RESULTS: From the lateral end of the clavicle, the mean distance of the lung was 60.0 ± 14.9 mm (20.1 to 96.1 mm) from the inferior cortex of the clavicle. At the mid-point, the mean distance of the lung was 32.3 ± 7.2 mm (20.4 to 45.5 mm) from the inferior cortex of the clavicle. At the medial end, the mean distance of the lung was 18.0 ± 5.5 mm (8.1 to 28.9 mm) from the inferior cortex of the clavicle. A review of postoperative radiographs for all 631 patients revealed none (0%) with a postoperative iatrogenic PTX.
CONCLUSION: The risk of injury is minimal in all three zones. Postoperative chest radiographs after clavicle fracture repair to rule out PTX are unnecessary.
The intervention group had equipment that looks like a blood tube in front of them during the blood collection process to divert their attention from the blood collection process to the equipment. This equipment was with a fixed arm on the right and a moving arm on the left with a total height of 80 cm as well as a red light-emitting diode(LED) to stimulate the blood collection. It had some answers to common questions of parents as well as the key concerns of the children like " Will it hurt me?". The equipment was made a musical device by loading the most popular children's songs into its database.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to assess the maxillary sinus volume (MSV), Chronic Sinusitis incidence, and asymmetry of the zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) following ZMC fracture surgery with various numbers of fixation points.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a prospective non-randomized cohort, 50 adults with unilateral ZMC fractures who treated by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) between November 2019 and October 2021 were assigned to accomplish this study. They distributed into three groups as per fixation points (2, 3, or 4 Points). Preoperative (T1), Immediate postoperative (T2), and follow-up (T3) cone beam computed topography were analyzed using the Mimics software. The main measures were MSV and asymmetry indexes (ASI) of six paired bilateral anatomical landmarks (Orbital, Suprajugal, Jugale, Zygon, Maxillozygion 1, and Maxillozygion 2).
RESULTS: MSV decreased significantly on the affected sides postoperatively in 2P and 3P groups, both in T2 and T3. Further, the T2-T3 comparisons showed a significant MSV change (p = 0.001). ASI reduced considerably to clinically tolerated levels (<3 mm) on landmarks near the fixation sites postoperatively. The ASI on the Zygon and Maxillozygion 1 landmarks showed significant changes among the three groups in both T2 and T3. Interestingly, only five cases had reported postoperative sinusitis symptoms.
CONCLUSIONS: Although the MSV was changed among the different fixation point groups, the incidence of chronic sinusitis was uncommon. Bilateral asymmetry affected by number and position of the fixation points, fixation with 4 points provide more symmetry.

In brief, a flexible, multi-sleeve 15-mm trocar designed specifically for single-port cholecystectomy will be inserted at the umbilicus via a 15-mm single incision. An additional 2-mm grasping device may be introduced in the right upper quadrant for retraction if necessary; this device is placed percutaneously without the need for a trocar. A 5-mm laparoscopic clip applier will be introduced through the periumbilical trocar to ligate the cystic artery and the cystic duct. The gallbladder will be removed through the umbilical port, adequate hemostasis is ensured, the umbilical trocar removed, and the single operative site will be closed and sterile dressings applied (four Band-Aids).
The invention discloses a novel coronavirus antibody with broad-spectrum neutralization activity, a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method of the novel coronavirus antibody comprises the following steps: immunizing an avian animal with an immunogen to obtain the antibody; the immunogen comprises a protein A and a protein B, wherein the amino acid sequence of the protein A is shown as a sequence 3 in a sequence table; the amino acid sequence of the protein B is shown as a sequence 6 in a sequence table. The new coronavirus antibody has good cross-neutralization activity for both a wild strain and a variant strain of the new coronavirus, and the induced antibody titer is far higher than the reported antibody level obtained by adopting an inactivated vaccine. After the nasal inhalation of the mouse, the protection against the high-dose new coronavirus can be obtained, and no obvious pathological change is seen in the lung. After nasal inhalation in white rabbits in the large ear, high titers of neutralizing antibodies were detected in the bronchi and lungs. The antibody can be developed into a nasal preparation for preventing and/or treating the infection of the new coronavirus.

The main objective of this research was to demonstrate food aversion learning in rats with unrestricted access to food and water, using wheel running as the unconditioned stimulus. Experiment 1 showed that the target-running paired training group consumed a statistically smaller amount of the target food (tteok rice cakes) compared to the target/running unpaired control group, but the decrease in consumption over days in the paired group was not fully supported by a statistical test. Experiment 2a improved the methodology by familiarizing rats with tteok before training, which resulted in both a statistically significant group effect and a statistically significant daily decrease in tteok consumption. Experiment 2b demonstrated that tteok aversion could be reacquired after an extinction phase. These experiments indicate that running-based tteok aversion in non-deprived rats is a valid example of Pavlovian conditioning and suggest that wheel running can cause similar effects in unrestricted rats as observed in food- or water-restricted rats. Additionally, daily measurements of kaolin clay ingestion suggested that wheel running induced nausea in the rats of these experiments.
This study aimed to investigate the expression of long non-coding ribonucleic acid (lncRNA) DDX11 antisense RNA 1 (DDX11-AS1) in breast cancer (BC) tissues and cells and investigate its biological function and potential molecular mechanism through in vitro experiments. Tissue specimens were obtained from 44 BC patients. TRIzol method was used to extract RNAs from the tissues. The relative expression of DDX11-AS1 in BC tissues and the expression of DDX11-AS1 in BC cells were detected via quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The effect of DDX11-AS1 on the proliferation ability of BC cells was detected via cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Flow cytometry was adopted to study the effect of DDX11-AS1 on the distribution of BC cell cycle. Transwell assays were performed to analyze the effects of DDX11-AS1 on the migration and invasion abilities of BC cells. Finally, after interfering with the expression of DDX11-AS1 in BC cells, changes in the expressions of molecular markers for epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were detected via Western blotting. According to the results of qRT-PCR, the expression of DDX11-AS1 was up-regulated in 38 out of 44 cases of BC tissues compared with that in the para-carcinoma tissues, and the expression of DDX11-AS1 in BC cells was up-regulated as well. After interference with the expression of DDX11-AS1 in BC cells, it was found via CCK-8 assay that the proliferation ability of BC cells was restrained, flow cytometry results showed that the BC cell cycle was arrested at G1/G0 phase, and the results of transwell assays revealed that the cell invasion and migration abilities were suppressed in experimental group compared with those in control group. According to the results of Western blotting, after interfering with the expression of DDX11-AS1 in BC cells, there were changes in the expressions of molecular markers for EMT. In BC, the expression of lncRNA DDX11-AS1 is up-regulated, which promotes the proliferation, migration and invasion of BC cells by regulating EMT.
OBJECTIVES: Problematic use of opioids by older adults is associated with adverse effects and has become a public health crisis worldwide. Ageing-related disabilities in activities of daily living (ADL) could promote unnecessary use of opioids in this population. This study evaluates the association between ADL disability and opioid consumption in Brazilian older adults.
STUDY DESIGN: Study design- cross-sectional secondary data analysis of the second wave of the Brazil Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSI-Brazil).
METHODS: Data from the second wave of the Brazil Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSI-Brazil) were used. Older adults with chronic pain were included. ADL disability was measured using the Katz Index. The primary outcome was opioid consumption for chronic pain. The primary association was explored using logistic regression models adjusting for predetermined confounders. Sensitivity analyses evaluating model performance were done by calibrating and validating the model using randomly split equal sets.
RESULTS: In those who reported presence of chronic pain (n = 2865), the prevalence of opioid use was 29% (95% CI:23.1%-35.6%). In adjusted models, participants with moderate and severe ADL disability had 1.6 (95% CI:1.13-2.32; P = 0.009) and 3.8 (95% CI: 1.80-7.90; P < 0.001) times higher odds of opioid consumption compared to no disability, respectively. Being female, alcohol consumption, higher pain intensity, history of dementia, fractures, and presence of ≥2 comorbidities were significantly associated with increased opioid use (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Nearly one-third of the Brazilian elderly population experiencing chronic pain reported using opioids. The functional decline during the process of ageing appears to be a risk factor for pain intolerance and opioid use. Multidisciplinary approaches to detect early ADL disabilities and improve mobility and access to assistive technologies need to be established to prevent opioid overuse and addiction in elderly populations.
