PROBLEM: Few studies investigated the best method for removing stains from different types of resin-based composite restorations and compared them to the more recently introduced nanocomposites. This study compared the effect of four methods for stain removal from composite resins; finishing with Sof-lex disks, using pumice and brush, bleaching with 10% carbamide peroxide and 38% hydrogen peroxide.', 'Twenty disk specimens were prepared. Specimens were immersed in a staining solution for 3\xa0weeks. The stained surfaces of five specimens from each RBC material were treated with one of the treatment procedures. Colorimetric measurements were taken using spectrophotometer prior to and after staining, and then repeated after surface treatments. Color difference values were calculated.', "One-way ANOVA indicated significant differences in color change of the three composite resin materials following staining. Filtek Z250 showed the least susceptibility to discoloration followed by Renamel, Filtek Supreme was the material most prone to discoloration. Two-way ANOVA and Tukey's Post Hoc showed that all stain removing procedures except polishing with pumice, were able to return Filtek Z250 to clinically acceptable color difference. While bleaching with 38% carbamide peroxide was not effective with Renamel. Only pumice and 10% carbamide peroxide were able to return Renamel to clinically acceptable color difference.

SOLUTION: Do the effectiveness of four methods for stain removal from direct resin-based composite restorative materials?

PROBLEM: Regeneration and tolerance factor (RTF) has been recently suggested to contribute to the control of fetal-ablating immunity at the maternal-fetal interface through the induction of T helper 2 (Th2)-dominated response. The protein consists of a membrane-associated domain and an extracellular portion which is proteolitically cleaved to yield a soluble peptide. In humans, it has been shown to be expressed by invading cytotrophoblasts and decidual lymphoid cells, to be increased on peripheral blood B lymphocytes during a normal gestation and on circulating natural killer cells during unsuccessful pregnancies. However, the expression of RTF in other cell types and, specifically, in non-hematopoietic maternal cells of the human uterus has not been characterized in detail. Thus, we have specifically studied the expression and modulation of the cytokine in human endometrium obtained in different phases of the cycle and in early pregnancy.', 'The 20 kDa extracellular domain of RTF has been localized by immunohistochemical method and Western blot analysis. Levels of RTF messenger RNA (mRNA) in basal and stimulated conditions have been evaluated by semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.', 'The extracellular domain of RTF could be detected in both the glandular epithelium and stroma with diffuse distribution in both cycling endometrium and first trimester decidua. Both cycling and pregnant endometrium expressed the gene for RTF but mRNA levels resulted significantly increased in secretory phase-endometrial stromal cells when compared to proliferative phase samples. Inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1beta and tumour necrosis factor alpha were able to directly increase endometrial RTF mRNA expression.

SOLUTION: Is the placental immunomodulatory cytokine regeneration and tolerance factor also expressed by both human cycling and early pregnant endometrium?

PROBLEM: The purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of inflammatory signaling containing tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) to neointimal formation in a balloon injury model of rabbit carotid artery.', 'Male Japanese white rabbits fed a normal diet were used. We transferred the dominant negative (DN) form of TRAF6 to a rabbit carotid artery that was subjected to balloon injury by in vivo electroporation method, and then evaluated its effect on intimal lesion formation after balloon injury.', 'An expression plasmid vector containing the TRAF6 DN sequence was successfully transferred to arterial wall cells, and its inhibitory effect on inflammatory signaling was confirmed by the marked suppression of nuclear factor-kappaB (NFkappaB) activity after injury. Morphometric analyses revealed significant inhibition of intimal lesion formation at 7 days after injury. Cell replication and accumulation of macrophages in the media were significantly decreased, and apoptosis was enhanced on day 2. Cell migration to the intima was suppressed on day 4. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 (ERK1/2) activity at 2 h after injury was also down-regulated. Interestingly, intimal cell replication was significantly blocked when TRAF6 DN was transfected at 7 days after injury.

SOLUTION:
Does inflammatory signaling pathway containing TRAF6 contribute to neointimal formation via diverse mechanisms?
