This study aims to investigate the confidence level of undergraduate final-year dental students in performing root canal treatment (RCT) and the relationship to the problems encountered during RCT. A validated online questionnaire was distributed to final-year dental students at Universiti Teknologi MARA. The questionnaire utilized both scaled responses and closed-ended questions to gain data regarding students’ confidence levels in performing root canal treatment. : In this study, 93.4% of the students were confident in placing a rubber dam, 90.8% were confident in injecting local anesthesia and root canal irrigation. Procedures that were rated as least confident were access cavities and management of interappointment flare-ups. For the mean rate of self-confidence in performing RCT in the dentition, maxillary anterior teeth (4.24±0.63) ranked highest followed by mandibular premolars (4.11±0.72), whereas the least confidence was in treating maxillary molars (3.38±0.69). Higher scores of self-confidence were in the management of necrotic pulp (4.22±0.65), followed by vital pulp treatments (3.95±0.61). The main mishaps that students encountered were canal blockage (57.9%) and underestimation of length (52.6%). There is no statistically significant correlation between the confidence level and encountered errors. . : The mean overall confidence score of different endodontic procedures was high, which is 80%. Examining the confidence level of students is a crucial part of this study, which can help to enhance the quality of endodontic education in areas that need improvement.

Published: June 2023

A benign bone neoplasm known as an osseous fibroma is frequently referred as fibro-osseous lesion. It has a stronger preference for females and is thought to have originated from periodontal membrane. Maxilla is less often afflicted than the mandible. This bone neoplasm is made up of highly cellular, fibrous tissue with varied levels of calcified tissue, which may resemble cementum, bone, or both. Depending on the degree of calcification, the lesions are either entirely radiolucent, mixed, or fully radiopaque with a radiolucent margin. Due to its propensity for recurrence and potential for malignant change, ossifying fibromas necessitate extensive surgery. In this case, a 20-year-old female had a large ossifying fibroma of mandible.

Abstract
A stable and specific heat shock protein 27.2 (HSP27.2) antibody was prepared and analyzed for protein level research in Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). The full-length hsp27.2 was amplified from H. armigera larvae and constructed into the prokaryotic expression vector. The purified His-tag fused protein was used to immunize rabbits for the antibody preparation. Western blot analysis indicated that this antibody specifically recognized the HSP27.2 encoded by H. armigera and detected the HSP27.2 encoded by other noctuid larvae. Further analysis of HSP27.2 expression in H. armigera under infection by different pathogenic microorganisms and in different tissues showed that the expression of HSP27.2 is continually stable. The HSP27.2 antibody is efficient and capable as a reference antibody for functional studies involving genes and proteins in H. armigera and other lepidopteran insects.

Abstract
Background Our ability to self-care can play a crucial role in the prevention, management and rehabilitation of diverse conditions, including chronic non-communicable diseases. Various tools have been developed to support the measurement of self-care capabilities of healthy individuals, those experiencing everyday self-limiting conditions, or one or more multiple long-term conditions. We sought to characterise the various non-mono-disease specific self-care measurement tools for adults as such a review was lacking.Objective The aim of the review was to identify and characterise the various non-mono-disease specific self-care measurement tools for adults. Secondary objectives were to characterise these tools in terms of their content, structure and psychometric properties.Design Scoping review with content assessment.Methods The search was conducted in Embase, PubMed, PsycINFO and CINAHL databases using a variety of MeSH terms and keywords covering 1 January 1950 to 30 November 2022. Inclusion criteria included tools assessing health literacy, capability and/or performance of general health self-care practices and targeting adults. We excluded tools targeting self-care in the context of disease management only or indicated to a specific medical setting or theme. We used the Seven Pillars of Self-Care framework to inform the qualitative content assessment of each tool.Results We screened 26,304 reports to identify 38 relevant tools which were described in 42 primary reference studies. Descriptive analysis highlighted a temporal shift in the overall emphasis from rehabilitation-focused to prevention-focused tools. The intended method of administration also transitioned from observe-and-interview style methods to the utilisation of self-reporting tools. Only five tools incorporated questions relevant to the seven pillars of self-care.Conclusions Various tools exist to measure individual self-care capability, but few consider assessing capability against all seven pillars of self-care. There is a need to develop a comprehensive, validated tool and easily accessible tool to measure individual self-care capability including the assessment of a wide range of self-care practices. Such a tool could be used to inform targeted health and social care interventions.

Abstract
KIAA1324 is a transmembrane protein reported largely as a tumor suppressor and favorable prognosis marker in various cancers, including gastric cancer. In this study, we report the role of N-linked glycosylation in KIAA1324 as a functional post-translational modification (PTM). Loss of N-linked glycosylation eliminated the potential of KIAA1324 to suppress cancer cell proliferation and migration. In addition, KIAA1324-mediated apoptosis and tumor regression were inhibited by the loss of N-linked glycosylation. The non-glycosylated mutant also showed altered localization and lost apoptotic activity by inhibiting the interaction between GRP78 and caspase 7. RNA sequencing analysis revealed that genes most relevant to the apoptosis and cell cycle arrest pathways were modulated by KIAA1324 with the N-linked glycosylation, and Gene Regulatory Network (GRN) analysis suggested novel targets of KIAA1324 for anti-tumor effects in transcription level. These data demonstrate that N-linked glycosylation of KIAA1324 is essential for the suppressive role of KIAA1324 protein in gastric cancer progression and indicates that KIAA1324 may have anti-tumor effects by targeting cancer-related genes with N-linked glycosylation. In conclusion, our study suggests the PTM of KIAA1324 is a necessary factor to consider for cancer prognosis and therapy improvement.

Abstract
Background
With the growing ubiquity of electronic devices, the incidence of upper crossed syndrome (UCS) is increasing every year and tends to affect younger populations. The study designed to assess how cervical and thoracic "Daoyin" training affected college students with UCS's pain, posture, lung function, cervical range of motion, and emotional state.
Methods
We conducted a parallel-group randomized control study, assigning 40 college students to intervention group (IG) and control group (CG) at Fujian Medical University, Fujian, China. Instructed cervical and thoracic "Daoyin" training was given to students in the IG for eight weeks, five days a week for 30 minutes, whereas students in the CG continued with their usual activities. Primary outcomes, namely, forward head and shoulder angles, pain, and cervical spine function, and secondary outcomes, namely, pulmonary function, cervical range of motion, and emotional state, were measured by photogrammetry, visual analog scale, Neck Disability Index, pulmonary function and cervical range of motion test, and Self-rating Anxiety Scale, respectively, at baseline and at a follow-up of eight weeks. We analyzed the effect of cervical and thoracic "Daoyin" training on college students with UCS using a mixed linear model.
Results
Analyses using linear mixed models revealed that the IG had a obvious improvement in the forward head angle, forward shoulder angle, and emotional state compared with the CG from baseline to eight weeks post-intervention (F = 22.078, P < 0.001; F = 13.987, P < 0.001; F = 6.842, P = 0.011). In addition, as compared with the CG, after intervention the IG considerably improved pain, cervical spine function, pulmonary function (forced vital capacity [FVC], forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC, maximal voluntary ventilation, cervical range of motion in forward flexion, and emotional state, with medium and large effect sizes. No side-effects were observed in this study.
Conclusion
Based on our results, we conclude that cervical and thoracic “Daoyin” training can improve the pain, posture, cervical spine function, lung function, cervical range of motion, and emotional state of college students with UCS.

Efficient adsorptive removal of Co2+ from aquatic solutions using graphene oxide
Authors: Zhuang Shuting , Wang Jianlong 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This study aimed to utilize synthesized graphene oxide (GO) for adsorptive removal of cobalt ions and investigate the adsorption mechanism using advanced techniques such as X-ray absorption spectra (XAFS). The GO was synthesized via an improved Hummers method, resulting in high surface area (93.7 m2/g) and abundant oxygen-containing functional groups. Various characterizations, including SEM, TEM, Raman, FT-IR, TG, potentiometric titrations, and N2 sorption-desorption measurements, were employed to characterize the GO. The adsorption behavior of GO towards Co2+ was investigated, and the results showed that the adsorption process followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir model, with a maximum sorption capacity of 93.7 mg/g. The adsorption process was chemisorption and endothermic, with GO showing adsorption selectivity order of Co2+>Sr2+>Cs+. Based on various characterizations such as X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES), extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), FT-IR, and XPS, the sorption mechanism of Co2+ onto GO was discussed, with the results indicating that coordination and electrostatic interaction were the primary adsorption mechanisms, with oxygen-containing functional groups playing a vital role. The first coordinating atom for Co2+ was O, and the coordination environment was similar to that of cobalt acetate and CoO. Overall, this study provides comprehensive understanding of the adsorption behavior and mechanism of Co2+ onto GO, highlighting its potential as an effective adsorbent for removing nuclides from aqueous solution.

Abstract

Nutrients supplied by upwelling, mixing, and inflow from adjacent oceans and terrestrial nutrient inputs are key factors regulating primary production in Arctic fjords and coastal areas. However, the contribution of terrestrial nutrient input to marine primary production remains poorly understood. Tundra biomes are highly sensitive to climate change, and vegetation responses to warming such as Arctic greening could modify terrestrial nutrient inputs to fjords and coastal areas. Here we analyze long–term measurements from northeast Greenland, revealing that climate–induced terrestrial greening has increased by 20% from 1999–2021, leading to a 77% decline in terrestrially–derived nitrate input from land to the coastal ecosystem, and a 39% decrease in phytoplankton biomass in the coastal ecosystem. These changes indicate an overall climate–driven decline in nitrate export via terrestrial rivers to the sea, and this oligotrophication may have major consequences for future Arctic coastal ecosystems.
Circular or oval? Molecular phylogenetic analysis revealed variations in middorsal spots of Chloeia flava (Pallas, 1766)

Abstract

Chloeia flava (Pallas, 1766) is characterized by having circular middorsal spots on median segments, and researchers have different opinions on whether circular- and oval-shaped middorsal spots on median segments are intraspecific morphological variations of C. flava. However, molecular data are lacking to resolve this problem. Based on specimens of C. flava collected from Fujian, China, we conducted morphological and molecular genetic analyses, and the results clarified that middorsal spots were circular in live specimens, while they varied from circular to oval in shape among the fixed specimens. Morphological analyses also indicated that C. flava could be distinguished from its morphologically similar species C. pulchella by having different-sized middorsal spots and types of chaetae, but molecular data are still needed to test this hypothesis in future studies.

Abstract
Background: Community-based exercise programs have demonstrated potential for use in older adults, however, it is still necessary to determine whether this strategy will lead to an equivalent benefit in stroke patients with dysphagia. This study evaluated the impact of community-based group rehabilitation on quality of life, depressive symptoms, and swallowing function in patients with dysphagia after stroke. To evaluate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of the protocol, the feasibility and acceptability of the study were also tested.
Methods: Participants were recruited from inpatient rehabilitation hospital and community rehabilitation center. We randomized 64 stroke patients with dysphagia who were randomly assigned into an intervention group (n=32) and a control group (n=32). The intervention group performed health education followed by swallowing function training in communities’ public spaces, 5 days per week for 8 weeks (60minutes each). The control group received swallowing rehabilitation training, and booster educational information about dysphagia and how to improve quality of life.
swallowing function (Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) and Standardized Swallowing Assessment (SSA)), Depressive symptoms (Geriatric Depression Scale-15), and Quality of life (Swallowing-Quality of Life, SWAL-QOL) were assessed before and after the intervention.
Results: Before the intervention, the two groups did not differ statistically. After, the intervention group showed significant improvement (P<0.001) in swallowing function (SSA: before: 34.73±3.062; after: 21.97±3.306; FOIS: before: 2.57±0.504; after: 4.83±1.262), but there was no significant difference in Functional Oral Intake Scale (P=0.479) change between groups. The intervention group showed improved substantially in depressive symptoms (P=0.002), and the number of depressed patients decreased significantly (13 to 6). There were significant differences between groups (P=0.003). Swallowing-Quality of Life scores showed the intervention group improved substantially more than the control group (P<0.001). In the Swallowing-Quality of Life sub-domain, the intervention group showed greater changes in symptoms and frequency (P<0.001), communication (P=0.012), and sleep (P=0.006) when compared to the control group.
Conclusion: Community-based group rehabilitation program improved swallowing function, depression symptoms, and quality of life stroke patients with dysphagia.
