Summary: The study compared different dental splint models and materials for inducing abnormal loading on the mandibular condylar processes in rats. The results showed that the resin molar splint caused the most extensive remodeling of the condylar process. Future studies will assess the impact of duration, age, and sex on the remodeling process.

Summary: This clinical report describes the spontaneous repair and subsequent remodeling of the mandibular head of the condylar process in four immature dogs that sustained traumatic injuries. The dogs exhibited clinically functional TMJs, and no evidence of joint stiffness or osteoarthritic changes was observed.

Summary: This study evaluated postsurgical condylar remodeling, condylar volumetric asymmetry, and soft tissue symmetry after unilateral high condylectomy and bimaxillary osteotomies. Radiographic signs of degenerative changes were noted in both surgical and nonsurgical condyles, with an average volumetric improvement of 531.9 mm(3) and soft tissue symmetry improvement of 65.8%. Despite remaining joint asymmetry, soft tissue correction was stable 1-year post-surgery.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the three-dimensional condylar remodeling during presurgical orthodontics and after orthognathic surgery in retrognathic mandibles with a high mandibular plane angle. The results suggest significant condylar resorption following orthognathic surgery may occur regardless of presurgical condylar status.

Summary: Postsurgical relapse at B-point may occur gradually over time and is mainly due to condylar resorption in mandibular advancement patients. Mesial yaw of the condyle during surgery may result in condylar resorption postsurgically. Additionally, females are at greater risk of condylar resorption after surgery.

Summary: This study evaluated the sensory function of the infraorbital nerve after orthognathic surgery and found that bimaxillary surgeries had a negative effect on early somatosensory changes.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between endurance and exertion capacity in green anole lizards. The results showed that exertion capacity was unaffected by different types of training and that the relationship between endurance and exertion capacity was inconsistent, particularly among females. The study suggests that exertion should be studied as an independent locomotor trait rather than a proxy for endurance.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between natural resource rent, economic complexity, clean technology, and natural resource productivity capacity. The findings suggest that economic complexity has different effects on resource rents and can play a crucial role in achieving sustainable development goals.

Summary: Soil structure is a critical factor affecting soil quality and health, especially its impact on water infiltration. Both natural and anthropogenic factors can alter soil structure, leading to changes in water infiltration. However, quantifying the complex effects of soil structure on infiltration remains challenging.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of water clarity changes on thermal processes in Lake Poyang, China's largest freshwater lake, using a physically based lake model. The simulation results showed that changes in water clarity affected lake surface temperature and lake-air interactions. These findings provide theoretical support for understanding the impacts of water clarity on inland freshwater systems and lake water system management.

Summary: The exploration of artificial luminogens with bright emission has been fully developed with the advancement of synthetic chemistry, but many face issues like weakened emission and sustainability. This study presents a new class of rosin-derived luminogens with aggregation-induced emission properties, demonstrating good biocompatibility and organelle imaging capabilities.

Summary: The study identified sexual dimorphism in tooth lengths among orthodontic patients, but did not find a link between mandibular asymmetry and asymmetry in tooth length. Additionally, a relationship was found between skeletal class and tooth length differences in certain measurements.

Summary: This case report describes a nonsurgical orthodontic treatment for facial asymmetry in a 13-year-old female patient by correcting dental compensation and moving the deviant mandible. The treatment achieved facial symmetry, favorable occlusion, and jaw function after 65 months. The results were well maintained at the 53-month follow-up.

Summary: Stable isotope analysis is an important technique in food web ecology, but its effectiveness can be unclear in complex systems. The use of heavy isotope tracers has been suggested as a way to enhance the utility of stable isotope analysis, but this study found that labeling could potentially affect isotopic fractionation and bias conclusions. While the physiological and activity levels of organisms in autotrophy-based and detritus-based aquatic food webs were not significantly affected by labeling, the study supported the isotopic redundancy hypothesis, which suggests that metabolic processes can be altered by discrete quantum mechanical states.

Summary: Asthma is a common chronic airway inflammatory disease that can lead to irreversible or partially irreversible airflow limitation and persistent airway hyperresponsiveness in patients. This review focuses on the effects of smoking on airway remodeling in asthmatics and the progress in evaluating airway remodeling.
