Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of finish line location and saliva contamination on the scanning trueness of crown finish lines. The results showed that subgingival finish lines had greater discrepancies and saliva contamination significantly reduced scanning trueness, especially for the subgingival groups.

Summary: Using multidimensional coherent spectroscopy, it was found that the line broadening mechanisms of perovskite nanoplatelets depend on platelet geometry, with decreasing thickness resulting in reduced line widths. Additionally, homogeneously broadened exciton resonances were observed in two-layer, but not necessarily three-layer, nanoplatelets at room temperature.

Summary: In this study, single-cell RNA sequencing was used to provide a high-dimensional insight into the transcriptional landscape of Atlantic salmon cells during early Infectious Salmon Anaemia Virus (ISAV) infection. The results showed a clear anti-viral response in infected cells, characterized by the upregulation of IFNA2 or IRF2. Additionally, uninfected bystander cells exhibited transcriptional differences, suggesting paracrine signaling from infected cells. This study identified potential key genes involved in the host-virus interaction, which can be targeted in future functional studies to enhance the resistance of Atlantic salmon to ISAV.

Summary: DNA is the sequence that codes for proteins, and messenger RNA is transcribed from the DNA sequence and translated into protein. It is difficult to predict the effects of DNA changes on messenger RNA and protein quantity and quality. DNA translocation changes can cause sequences from different genes or gene parts to join together. DNA sequencing is used clinically to predict the effects of DNA changes on proteins, and RNA sequencing provides a more direct measure of these effects. This sequencing is important for identifying changes in cancer that may indicate response to targeted therapy, prognosis, or diagnosis.

Summary: Vaterite deposition in fish otoliths is commonly found in aquaculture-reared fish. This study compared otoliths from growth hormone transgenic coho salmon and non-transgenic fish of similar size and found that transgenic fish had smaller and rounder otoliths. Transgenic fish also had smaller eyes and showed a lower percentage of vaterite deposition in their otoliths. This suggests that high growth rates and GH overexpression may have a protective role against vaterite deposition.

Summary: Partial approval of GMO use is research-oriented, with a rejection toward food. The linear regression model explained 65% of the variance of attitude toward GMOs from the beliefs, practices, knowledge, and bioethical approach variables. The sociodemographic variables were completely excluded from the model due to the absence of statistical significance.

Summary: The research on biomarkers is proving increasingly important for accurate risk stratification and disease prevention. The relationship between exercise, immune function, endocrine biomarkers, and personalized training regimens is crucial for athlete's health and performance. It is essential to consider individual factors when designing training programs based on biomarker evaluations.

Summary: Subtractive manufacturing is the dominant method for creating zirconia dental restorations, while additive manufacturing is emerging as a potential alternative. This study compared the performance of stereolithography (SLA) and milling in fabricating monolithic zirconia crowns, finding that both methods can produce crowns of comparable accuracy. However, knife-edged crowns are more prone to large margin chippings regardless of the manufacturing method used.

Summary: Transgenic fish, such as the GH transgenic coho salmon strain, show significant differences in growth rate and phenotypes compared to wild-type fish. Sex and transgene insertion sites alter transgene expression, while estradiol levels do not directly influence transgene activity. This study highlights the impact of genetic factors and transgene insertion sites on transgene expression and phenotype.

Summary: A Ti-V microalloyed X80 seamless pipeline steel was prepared using on-line quenching and off-line tempering technology. The influence of finish rolling temperatures (FRTs-950 degrees C and 900 degrees C) and tempering temperatures (600 degrees C-700 degrees C) on microstructure and mechanical properties was investigated. An ideal combination of strength and toughness was achieved at 900 degrees C FRT and 680 degrees C tempering temperature, which satisfied the API requirements of X80 pipe. Therefore, 900 degrees C FRT and 680 degrees C tempering temperature were suitable process parameters for on-line quenching technology to produce X80 seamless pipeline steel.

Summary: Feeding the expected global population of 9 billion by 2050 is a daunting challenge, with fish consumption projected to increase significantly. Norway and Chile are the largest salmon exporters, representing around 80% of the market. This study aims to analyze strategies to enhance the cold production performance of a typical Chilean salmon company, achieving significant throughput increases in three scenarios.

Summary: Azoxystrobin (AZ) and pyraclostrobin (PY) are strobilurin fungicides that inhibit fungal mitochondrial respiration. This study used zebrafish as a model and found that pyraclostrobin had significant toxicity on embryos, causing mortality and malformations, and impacting heart development by upregulating the nppa gene. The research also suggests that strobilurin fungicides may inhibit normal heart formation and function.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of preoperative design and finish line depth on the trueness and precision of different intraoral scanners (IOSs). The results showed that complex partial adhesive preparation designs influenced the trueness and precision of IOSs, leading to significant differences among them. Therefore, the resolution of the scanner should be considered during interproximal preparation, and placing the finish line close to adjacent structures should be avoided.
