Authors: Vandana Sarangal , Pankaj Goyal , Tej Singh Sahib , Supreet Kaur , Vasudha Suchdev 
Published: December 2023

Aim: The present study was conducted to assess the role of vitamin C in wound healing following dental implant surgery.
Materials and Methods: 60 patients receiving dental implants were divided into two groups of 30 each. group A and group B. Group A included 30 patients who underwent dental implant surgery along with vitamin C supplementation, 500 mg twice a day post-surgery for 5 days and group B included 30 patients who underwent dental implant surgery alone. The Wound Healing Index, Wound Evaluation score and Visual Analog Scale were the following indices evaluated.
Results: The results of the present study showed that there was a significant improvement in all indices in both group A and group B, but results in group A were statistically more significant than group B and indicating that maximum healing was seen in the first 7 days post-operative, thereafter, remaining more or less the same. In reference to vitamin C for pain relief, there was no statistically difference between the study groups.
Conclusion: Using vitamin C supplementation post-operative healing following dental implant surgery in patients given vitamin C. However, vitamin C supplementation does not decrease the post operative pain associated with dental pain and anxiety.

AbstractThis study introduces a novel strategy for fabricating flexible nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas sensors based on Indium Oxide (In2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) employing selective reduction laser sintering (SRLS) technology. The SRSL technology utilizes ultraviolet (UV) laser selective reduction sintering to precisely and rapidly create oxygen vacancy (OV) defects in In2O3 NPs. These oxygen vacancies (OVs) enhance the active adsorption sites and contribute additional free electrons, significantly improving sensor performance at room temperature. The sensors demonstrate excellent response (S = 460.9 at 10 ppm), rapid response/recovery times (τresp/τreco = 27/570 s), and superior selectivity (response ratio > 400), in addition to robust resistance to light and humidity (under ppm‐level NO2 gas). The sensors also exhibit a low detection limit (200 ppb), a high signal‐to‐noise ratio (94.8 dB), and good long‐term stability (25 days). Moreover, under photo‐assisted conditions, the recovery speed of the sensors is further improved. This technology not only provides an innovative strategy for the development of high‐performance flexible NO2 gas sensors but also broadens the application potential of laser direct writing (LDW) technology in advanced materials and sensor fabrications.

Published: January 2025

AbstractAerospace vehicles and electronic devices are often operated in elevated temperature environments, which has led to an increased demand for high‐temperature microwave absorbing materials (MAMs). The microwave absorption properties of MAMs are influenced not only by the intrinsic material characteristics but also by the micro‐, meso‐, and macro‐structural configurations of the composites. This paper reviews recent advancements in high‐temperature MAMs through a multiscale design approach. Due to the temperature sensitivity of permittivity, MAMs tend to exhibit microwave reflection behavior at elevated temperatures. Strategies aimed at regulating conductivity and polarization behavior can enhance impedance matching under these conditions; however, this often results in an unavoidable reduction in loss capability. In contrast to traditional design methodologies, MAMs constructed from subwavelength‐scale functional units can achieve remarkable anti‐reflection effects through discrete unit distribution, thereby significantly optimizing both dielectric loss capacity and impedance matching. Furthermore, the equivalent electromagnetic parameters of metacomposites are intrinsically linked to their physical properties and structural attributes. This relationship offers a novel strategy for enhancing high‐temperature microwave absorption performance. It is anticipated that this review will provide insightful guidance for future explorations into innovative and highly efficient high‐temperature MAMs.

AbstractLithium‐ion batteries are indispensable power sources for a wide range of modern electronic devices. However, battery lifespan remains a critical limitation, directly affecting the sustainability and user experience. Conventional battery failure analysis in controlled lab settings may not capture the complex interactions and environmental factors encountered in real‐world, in‐device operating conditions. This study analyzes the failure of commercial wireless earbud batteries as a model system within their intended usage context. Through multiscale and multimodal characterizations, the degradations from the material level to the device level are correlated, elucidating a failure pattern that is closely tied to the specific device configuration and operating conditions. The findings indicate that the ultimate failure mode is determined by the interplay of battery materials, cell structural design, and the in‐device microenvironment, such as temperature gradients and their fluctuations. This holistic, in‐device perspective on environmental influences provides critical insights for battery integration design, enhancing the reliability of modern electronics.

AbstractThe pursuit of hardware‐based security solutions has highlighted the true random number generator (TRNG). Various physical phenomena, from noise generation to quantum physics complexities, have been explored for random number generation. The arc discharge light‐induced TRNG (ALTRNG) is introduced, featuring wavelength‐dependent photocurrent generation and arc discharge irradiation. A bipolar photo‐responsive photodetector (BPPD) differentiates “1” and “0” states, producing highly random bits validated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 15 tests. The BPPD's response to deep‐ultraviolet (DUV) and blue light enables distinct photocurrent generation under arc discharge illumination. The ALTRNG generates true random signals, yielding bit streams with unpredictability, uniform distribution, and stability. With a readout circuit achieving 2‐kbps, wireless random number transmission is demonstrated, highlighting potential for secure password systems and artificial X‐ray image generation.

AbstractHarnessing solar energy to convert molecular N2 into nitrogen‐rich chemicals (e.g., ammonia) provides a potential pathway for the manufacture of “solar fertilizers”. However, the solar‐to‐ammonia (STA) efficiency of most solar fertilizer systems developed to date is less than 0.1%. Herein, an outstanding STA efficiency of ≈0.3% using a metallic molybdenum trioxide (metallic MoO3‐x) photocatalyst under simulated‐solar irradiation is reported, with localized surface plasmon resonance phenomena in the metallic MoO3‐x photocatalyst enhancing both light utilization and N2 activation. The potential scalability of the photocatalytic technology is demonstrated in a 1 m2 panel reactor system, with a high STA efficiency and good stability demonstrated over 6 days of outdoor testing, yielding a solid (NH4)2SO4 product for easy collection. The as‐designed square‐meter outdoor reaction system facilitates the integration of solar fertilizer technology with existing agricultural infrastructure.

AbstractIn this study, a highly feasible fabrication approach is explored to make flexible elastomer molds for producing transdermal patches comprising an array of millimeter‐long dissolvable polymer needles. The millineedles (MilN), produced in both polyvinylpyrrolidone and carboxymethyl cellulose, are targeting efficient transdermal drug delivery. Employing a fast, inexpensive, and reproducible CO2 laser ablation process, polydimethylsiloxane molds are successfully created measuring 10 × 10 mm2, with arrays of conical cavities reaching depths of 1288.17 ± 128.93 µm. While this versatile fabrication technique is previously demonstrated for microneedles, it lacked a comprehensive performance evaluation of the produced needles. The study fills this gap by providing significant experimental data on the in vitro and ex vivo performance of the MilN patches. The applicability of the method is demonstrated by systematically casting and testing patches comprising various hydrophilic polymers and compounds. Mechanical testing underscored the resilience of MilN arrays, enduring compression forces up to 36 N for 30 s. Skin penetration efficiency, assessed in Parafilm M and porcine skin, revealed an insertion depth of ≈560 µm for polyvinylpyrrolidone MilN.

AbstractThe coordination of public and private goods production is essential for bacterial adaptation to environmental changes. Quorum sensing (QS) regulates this balance by mediating the trade‐off between the communal benefits of “public goods,” such as siderophores and antibiotics, and the individual metabolic needs fulfilled by “private goods,” such as intracellular metabolites utilized for growth and survival. Pseudomonas fluorescens 2P24 harbors a LasI/LasR‐type QS system, MupI/MupR, which regulates mupirocin production through signaling molecules. This study explores how QS coordinates carbon and nitrogen metabolism to optimize the production of key secondary metabolites, including 2,4‐diacetylphloroglucinol (2,4‐DAPG), mupirocin, and siderophores, which serve as public goods. Loss of QS disrupts this balance by enhancing the Krebs cycle, denitrification, pyruvate anaplerosis, and ammonium assimilation, lead to halted 2,4‐DAPG and mupirocin synthesis and increased siderophore production. In the absence of QS, elevated siderophore production compensates for iron acquisition, ensuring rapid cellular growth. Under nutrient‐limited or high cell density conditions, MupR regulates carbon and nitrogen fluxes to sustain public goods production. These findings highlight QS as a key environmental sensor that fine‐tunes resource allocation, bacterial fitness, and adaptation to ecological and nutritional conditions, suggesting the potential for QS‐targeted approaches to enhance antibiotic production and agricultural sustainability.

AbstractGlobal health is increasingly challenged by the growing prevalence of obesity and its associated complications. Quercetin, one of the most important dietary flavonoids, is being explored as an effective therapy for obesity with its mechanism remains understudied. Here in this study, it is demonstrated that quercetin intervention significantly reverses obesity‐related phenotypes through reshaping the overall structure of microbiota, especially boosting colonization of the beneficial gut commensal Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila). Enrichment of A. muciniphila leads to generate more indole‐3‐lactic acid (ILA) to upregulate the expression of 12α‐hydroxylase (CYP8B1) via fat mass and obesity‐associated protein (FTO)/ N6‐methyladenosine (m6A)/YTHDF2 manner, thereby facilitating cholesterol converts to cholic acid (CA). CA in turn drastically suppresses lipid accumulation via activating the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) in adipose tissue. This work introduces a novel therapeutic target for addressing obesity and expands upon the current limited understanding of the mediator function of m6A modifications in microorganism‐influenced bile acid (BA) metabolism.

AbstractTrophic interactions in micro‐food webs, such as those between nematodes and their bacterial prey, affect nitrogen cycling in soils, potentially changing nitrous oxide (N2O) production and consumption. However, how nematode‐mediated changes in soil bacterial community composition affect soil N2O emissions is largely unknown. Here, microcosm experiments are performed with the bacterial feeding nematode Protorhabditis to explore the potential of nematodes in regulating microbial communities and thereby soil N2O emissions. Removal of nematodes by defaunation resulted in increased N2O emissions, with the removal of Protorhabditis contributing most to this increase. Further, inoculation with Protorhabditis altered bacterial community composition and increased the relative abundance of Bacillus, and the abundance of the nosZ gene in soil. In vitro experiments indicated that Protorhabditis reinforce the reduction in N2O emissions by Bacillus due to suppressing competitors and producing bacteria growth stimulating substances such as betaine. The results indicate that interactions between nematodes and bacteria modify N2O emissions providing the perspective for the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions via manipulating trophic interactions in soil.

Published: January 2025

AbstractProgress in commercializing solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) for lithium metal batteries (LMBs) has been impeded by challenges, like concentration polarization, non‐uniform Li+ flux, and an unstable solid electrolyte interface (SEI), which contribute to dendrite formation. To address these issues, silica framework (SF)‐based single‐ion conductors are proposed, featuring a unique solvation channel composed of a fluorinated segment, a high‐dipole zwitterion, and a rotation‐motion‐driven ion‐hopping medium. This design promotes low resistance at the cathode/electrode interface, suppresses dendrite growth at the anode/electrolyte interface, and maintains a uniform Li+ flux. This results show that continuous ion channels within a robust framework enhance Li‐ion dissociation and transport, achieving high ionic conductivity (σDC =  8.8  × 10−4 S cm−1), a modulus of 0.9 GPa, a high lithium transference number (≈0.83), and an extended electrochemical stability window (up to 5.2 V) at 25 °C. This design fosters the formation of a hybrid organic/inorganic SEI layer composed of Li2CO3, LiF, and Li2O, enabling ultra‐stable Li plating/stripping for over 4000 h at 0.1 mA cm−2. Furthermore, the full cells demonstrate excellent rate performance and long‐term cycling stability and capacity retention (81% for Li||LFP and 86% for Li||NCM811 after 400 cycles at 1 C) and high coulombic efficiency, offering a promising strategy to stable LMBs.
