Objectives: This study aimed to summarize the outcome of in vitro studies comparing the antibacterial effectiveness of QMix with other irrigants against Enterococcus faecalis. Materials and Methods: The research question was developed by using population, intervention, comparison, outcome, and study design framework. The literature search was performed using 3 electronic databases: PubMed, Scopus, and EBSCOhost until October 2019. The additional hand search was performed from the reference list of the eligible studies. The risk of bias of the studies was independently appraised using the revised Cochrane Risk of Bias tool (RoB 2.0). Results: Fourteen studies were included in this systematic review. The overall risk of bias for the selected studies was moderate. QMix was found to have a higher antimicrobial activity compared to 2% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), 2% chlorhexidine (CHX), mixture of tetracycline isonomer, an acid and a detergent (MTAD), 0.2% Cetrimide, SilverSol/H2O2, HYBENX, and grape seed extract (GSE). QMix had higher antibacterial efficacy compared to NaOCl, only when used for a longer time (10 minutes) and with higher volume (above 3 mL). Conclusions: QMix has higher antibacterial activity than 17% EDTA, 2% CHX, MTAD, 0.2% Cetrimide, SilverSol/H2O2, HYBENX, GSE and NaOCl with lower concentration. To improve the effectiveness, QMix is to use for a longer time and at a higher volume.

This review aims to identify the influence of the vehicle and its concentration used to carry calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) medicament on postoperative pain. The protocol for this review was registered in the open science framework (Registration DOI-10.17605/OSF.IO/4Y8A9) and followed the guidelines provided by the Joanna Briggs Institute. Reporting was based on the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Literature screening and searches were performed on PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and EBSCO hosts. Furthermore, additional records were manually analyzed using various sources. The selected studies were published in English and included the use of any vehicle adjunct to Ca(OH)₂ to evaluate postoperative pain using qualitative and quantitative pain assessment tools. Descriptive analysis was conducted to review the study design, vehicle elements, and their effects. A preliminary search yielded 7584 studies, of which 10 were included. According to the data collected, the most commonly used Ca(OH)₂ vehicles were chlorhexidine (CHX), normal saline, and camphorated paramonochlorophenol/glycerine (CPMC/glycerine), which had a significant effect on postoperative pain. Among the included studies, six evaluated the effect of CHX as a vehicle. It was observed that a higher concentration of the vehicle (2%) showed a favorable response in reducing postoperative pain. A majority of studies have validated a positive consequence of using a vehicle on postoperative pain. Although higher vehicle concentrations were found to alter postoperative pain levels, the data were insufficient to draw a firm conclusion. Our scoping review indicates that further clinical studies should focus on using different vehicles at various concentrations and application times to check for feasible and safe exposure in addition to providing pain relief.

This study aimed to compare the disinfectant ability of chlorhexidine (CHX) gel and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). Systematic searches were conducted from inception until December 8th, 2022 (MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, and Grey Literature databases). Only randomized clinical trials were included. The revised Cochrane risk of bias tools for randomized trials were used to assess the quality of studies. Meta-analyses were performed. The overall quality of evidence was assessed through the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation tool. Six studies were included. Five had a low risk of bias and 1 had some concerns. Three studies assessed bacterial reduction. Two were included in the meta-analysis for bacterial reduction (mean difference, 75.03 [confidence interval, CI, -271.15, 421.22], p = 0.67; I² = 74%); and 3 in the meta-analysis for cultivable bacteria after chemomechanical preparation (odds ratio, 1.03 [CI, 0.20, 5.31], P = 0.98; I² = 49%). Five studies assessed endotoxin reduction. Three were included in a meta-analysis (mean difference, 20.59 [CI, -36.41, 77.59], p = 0.48; I² = 74%). There seems to be no difference in the disinfectant ability of CHX gel and NaOCl, but further research is necessary.

연구배경: 내독소에 의한 급성 폐손상의 발병기전에서 산소기가 중요한 역할을 한다는 사실은 잘 알려져 있다. 세포내에는 이러한 산소기에 의한 세포의 손상을 방지하는 정상 방어기전으로 여러 항산화효소가 존재하는데, 이중 SOD는 세포대사과정이나 외부 자극에 의해 생성된 superoxide로부터 세포의 손상을 방지하는 역할을 한다. 세포내 SOD는 주로 이중체의 구조로 세포질에 존재하는 CuZnSOD와 사중체의 구조로 미토콘드리아에 존재하는 MnSOD의 두 종류가 알려져 있으나, 폐포대식세포에서의 SOD mRNA 발현 및 그 조절기전에 대해서는 확실히 규명되어 있지 않다. 본 연구의 목적은 백서의 폐포대식세포에서 내독소 자극에 의한 MnSOD와 CuZnSOD mRNA 발현양상을 관찰하고 내독소 자극시 니타나는 SOD mRNA 발현의 조절기전을 규명하는데 있다. 방법: 백서의 기관지폐포세척액에서 얻은 세포를 plastic plate에 부착시켜 폐포대식세포를 분리한 후 내독소를 자극하여 내독소 용량($0.01{\mu}g/ml{\sim}10{\mu}g/ml$)과 자극시간(0, 2, 4, 8, 24 hrs)에 따른 MnSOD와 CuZnSOD MnSOD 발현양상을 Northern blot analysis를 시행하여 관찰하였다. 다음 단계로 MsSOD와 CuZnSOD mRNA 발현의 조절기전을 밝히고자 폐포대식세포를 각각 AD($5{\mu}g/ml$) 또는 CHX($5{\mu}g/ml$)로 전처치한 후 내독소로 자극하여 MnSOD와 CuZnSOD mRNA의 발현양상을 관찰하였다. 한편 내독소 투여가 SOD mRNA의 안정성을 변화시키는지 여부를 평가하기 위해 폐포대식세포를 대조군과 투여군으로 나누어 SOD mRNA의 분해속도를 비교하였다. 총 세포내 RNA는 guanidinium thiocyanate/phenol/chloroform법을 이용하여 추출하였고, Northern blot analysis는 $^{32}P$로 표지된 백서의 MnSOD와 CuZnSOD cDNAs를 이용하여 시행하였다. 결과: 백서의 폐포대식세포에서 MnSOD mRNA의 발현은 내독소 투여량의 증가세 따라 증가되었고 내독소를 투여하고 8시간후에 정점을 이루었으나, CuZnSOD mRNA의 발현은 내독소의 용량 및 투여후 반응시간에 따라 변화하지 않았다. 내독소 투여후 MnSOD mRNA의 발현증가는 AD 또는 CHX 각각의 전처치에 의해 모두 억제되었다. MnSOD mRNA의 안정성은 내독소 투여에 의해 변화하지 않았다. 결론: 이상의 결과로 백서의 폐포대식세포는 내독소 자극에 반응하여 SOD를 생성하는 중요세포이고, 내독소에 의한 MnSOD mRNA의 발현은 전사단계에서 조정되며 mRNA의 안정성을 변화시키지 않고 새로운 단백의 합성이 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

The characteristic behaviors of CH3Br were examined first for the dry etching of polysilicon in a Cl2/CH3Br/O2 plasma. CH3Br is revealed one of the excellent additive gases to control anisotropy of etching profile and to give no undercutting for various typed of polysilicons. CH3Br acts as a passivation precursor on the side wall in etch cavity by forming polymer-like films such as CHxBry(x+y=1,2). The decrease of etch selectivity due to the reaction if the C-containing species from CH3Br with the surface O atoms of SiO2 was overcome by the addition of O2 into plasma, resulting that the selectivity increased by 2~3 times. According to the results of optical emission signals, CH3Br should be dissociated into several fragments to give more hydrogen atoms than bromine atoms in our helical resonator system.

Rates of solvolyses of benzhydryl chloride ($Ph_2$CHCl, 1) and benzhydryl bromide ($Ph_2$CHBr, 2) in ethanol, methanol, and aqueous binary mixtures incorporating ethanol, methanol, 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) and acetone are reported. Solvolyses were also carried out in TFE-ethanol mixtures. Application of the extended Grunwald-Winstein equation led to l value of 1.19 (1), 1.29 (2) and m value of 1.00 (1), 0.77 (2), correlation coefficient of 0.965 (1) and 0.970 (2). Sensitivities (l = 1.19 (1), 1.29 (2) and m = 1.00 (1), 0.77 (2)) were similar to those obtained for several previously studied solvolyses, in which an $S_N$2 pathway is proposed for the solvolyses of benzhydryl halides ($Ph_2$CHX, X = Cl or Br).

본 연구는 인삼 panaxynol이 인체 흑색종 세포주 SK-MEL-1 미치는 항증식효과의 분자적 기전을 알아보고자, 세포주기와 세포주기 조절인자들의 발현변화, 단백질 합성 억제제와 proteasome억제제가 panaxynol의 항암효과에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. panaxynol은 세포주기의 G1 단계 진행을 억제시켰으며, 동시에 $p21^{WAF1}$ 발현 증가와 cdc2의 발현 감소를 유발하였다. 이에 비해 p16, p27, E2F-1, Rb, p53의 발현에는 변화가 없었다. 이 결과는 panaxynol의 SK-MEL-1 세포에서 $p21^{WAF1}$의 발현을 증가시키고 cdc2의 발현을 감소시켜, 세포주기의 G1-S 이행 단계를 억제한다는 것을 보여준다 또한 CHX는 panaxynol의 항암효과를 감소시키고, LLnL은 panaxynol의 항암 효과를 증가시켰는데, 이는 panaxynol에 의한 SK-MEL-1 세포의 증식억제에 새로운 단백질 합성이 필요하며, LLnL이 panaxyno떼 의한 세포증식억제를 매개하는 $p21^{WAF1}$등의 단백질 분해를 저해시키기 때문인 것으로 생각된다.
