Summary: The study found that concentrations of 62% to 80% of ethanol and isopropyl alcohol are highly effective in inactivating high concentrations of HCoV dried on surfaces, while a concentration of 95% dehydrated the virus and allowed survival. Furthermore, dilutions of sodium hypochlorite recommended by the CDC, 1/10 and 1/50, were efficient in inactivating high concentrations of HCoV, while a 1/100 dilution had lower activity.

Summary: Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is a promising approach for tissue engineering, allowing precise placement of cells and biomaterials to mimic complex microstructures of biological tissues. Bioprinted tissues can benefit from exposure to fluid mechanical cues provided by bioreactor systems, aiding in tissue development and function.

Summary: Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary approach to building 3D human tissues in the laboratory. Despite three decades of advancements in medical sciences, there is limited use of tissue-engineered organs in humans. This position paper outlines the challenges and advancements in engineering specific tissues and organs, as well as the most successful technologies in tissue engineering.

Summary: The study evaluated the free available chlorine concentration, organic tissue dissolution, and smear layer removal capacity of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) alone and mixed with different chemicals heated to various temperatures. Heating NaOCl alone did not affect its free available chlorine concentration, while the mixtures with chelators showed lower free available chlorine with higher temperatures. Organic tissue dissolution improved with temperature increases for NaOCl alone and NaOCl mixed with HEDP, but not with Na(4)EDTA mixtures. Smear layer removal was enhanced by heating NaOCl alone and became more rapid in mixtures with chelators.

Summary: Chlorine based sanitizers are commonly used in fresh produce washing to reduce microbial cross-contamination, but their effectiveness on pathogens attached to produce surfaces is limited. This study evaluated the use of air microbubbles to detach and inactivate bacteria from fresh produce, finding that while they had limited effect on bacteria detachment and inactivation in the presence of sanitizers, they did improve cleaning efficacy during the washing process.

Summary: One alternative to replace conventional depressants in Cu-Mo separation is using oxidizing agents to promote the formation of products on chalcopyrite that render its surface hydrophilic and thus favor its depression. This work provides a study on how sodium hypochlorite can act as a depressor for chalcopyrite in Cu-Mo flotation separation. The results showed a selective depressant effect of NaClO on chalcopyrite, supported by electrochemical techniques, SEM observations, FTIR analysis, and contact angle measurements.

Summary: This study aimed to characterize and validate the storage effectiveness of cryopreserved adipose tissue (AT) for up to three years for clinical applications. AT components were isolated from fresh and cryopreserved samples and cell viability was assessed. Adipogenic and endothelial precursors and mature cells were measured. The differentiation potential and cellular composition of cryopreserved AT were maintained. Two patients successfully underwent autologous cryopreserved AT transplants without complications.

Summary: This study evaluated a combined systemic and topical anti-infective periodontal treatment for patients with ongoing periodontal breakdown. The treatment included antibiotics, subgingival disinfection, and oral irrigation. Results showed improvements in clinical periodontal attachment and decreases in pocket probing depth and bleeding on probing. The greatest disease resolution was observed in patients with major periodontal pathogens replaced by non-periodontopathic viridans streptococci after treatment. This personalized and minimally invasive treatment regimen effectively controlled periodontitis and improved patients' clinical and microbiological status.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the pulp tissue dissolution ability of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) when mixed with tetrasodic etidronate (Na4HEBP) and disodic ethylenediaminetetraacetate (Na2EDTA) under controlled flow. The results showed that the controlled delivery of Na2EDTA and Na4HEBP did not alter the tissue dissolution ability of NaOCl.
