Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of increasing thermocycling regimens on bond strength and nanoleakage of an etch-and-rinse adhesive. MATERIALS AND METHODS Adper Single Bond (3M ESPE) was used for bonding resin composite to human enamel and dentin. Specimens were stored in water (37°C, 24 h) and subjected to thermocycling (5°C and 55°C) in five groups: 1. control (no thermal cycling), 2. 100, 3. 500, 4. 2000, or 5. 10,000 cycles. The microshear bond test was performed at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min (n = 16). Nanoleakage specimens were immersed in silver nitrate and FE-SEM micrographs were digitally analyzed to calculate silver penetration in three samples. RESULTS The mean bond strength to enamel was not significantly affected by thermocycling. However, artificial aging decreased dentin bond strength in groups 4 and 5 compared to control. Weibull analysis indicated that the characteristic strength decreased gradually with aging in both substrates. All groups exhibited some nanoleakage, and a significant increase in silver penetration compared to the control was observed in enamel and dentin groups 2 to 5. CONCLUSION A nanoleakage increase was detected in an earlier stage of aging than when a significant drop in bond strength was observed, with the dentin bond being more susceptible to deterioration.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from synovium is a promising therapy for cartilage regeneration. For clinical application, improvement of handling operation, enhancement of chondrogenic potential, and increase of MSCs adhesion efficiency are needed to achieve a more successful cartilage regeneration with a limited number of MSCs without scaffold. The use of aggregated MSCs may be one of the solutions. Here, we investigated the handling, properties and effectiveness of aggregated MSCs for cartilage regeneration. METHODS Human and rabbit synovial MSCs were aggregated using the hanging drop technique. The gene expression changes after aggregation of synovial MSCs were analyzed by microarray and real time RT-PCR analyses. In vitro and in vivo chondrogenic potential of aggregates of synovial MSCs was examined. RESULTS Aggregates of MSCs cultured for three days became visible, approximately 1 mm in diameter and solid and durable by manipulation; most of the cells were viable. Microarray analysis revealed up-regulation of chondrogenesis-related, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic genes in aggregates of MSCs. In vitro studies showed higher amounts of cartilage matrix synthesis in pellets derived from aggregates of MSCs compared to pellets derived from MSCs cultured in a monolayer. In in vivo studies in rabbits, aggregates of MSCs could adhere promptly on the osteochondral defects by surface tension, and stay without any loss. Transplantation of aggregates of MSCs at relatively low density achieved successful cartilage regeneration. Contrary to our expectation, transplantation of aggregates of MSCs at high density failed to regenerate cartilage due to cell death and nutrient deprivation of aggregates of MSCs. CONCLUSIONS Aggregated synovial MSCs were a useful source for cartilage regeneration considering such factors as easy preparation, higher chondrogenic potential and efficient attachment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Interaction between specific functional groups and apatite crystals may contribute to adhesion. The present study investigated effects of four adhesives with different compositions on protection of crystals beneath the hybrid layer against acid-attack using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED). METHODS Human dentin was bonded with four adhesives; two with a carboxylic-based functional co-polymer (PAA): three-step etch-and-rinse Scotchbond Multi-Purpose (SMP, 3M ESPE) and one-step self-etch Adper Easy Bond (AEB, 3M ESPE), and two with a phosphate-based functional monomer (MDP): two-step etch-and-rinse Clearfil Photo Bond (CPB, Kuraray Medical) and two-step self-etch Clearfil SE Bond (CSE, Kuraray Medical). The specimens were the either left untreated (control) or subjected to acid-base challenge with demineralizing solution (pH 4.5) and 5% NaClO. All specimens were processed and observed by TEM. SAED was used to identify the presence or absence of apatite crystallites at the base or beneath hybrid layer before and after acid-base challenge. RESULTS An apatite-rich zone was observed beneath the partially demineralized hybrid layer of CSE. The zone was thinner in AEB, but a demineralization-susceptible area was found beneath it. The etch-and-rinse adhesives (SMP and CPB) demonstrated completely or predominantly demineralized hybrid layers, which were devoid of the acid-resistant apatite-rich zone. SIGNIFICANCE TEM/SAED evidence disclosed that the preserved dentin apatite crystals beneath the thin hybrid layer of the mild self-etch adhesives were protected against acid. Diffusion of reactive components beyond the hybrid layer, and their chemical bonding potential with the remaining crystals created the acid-base resistant zone.

Abstract
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy is a fatal demyelinating disorder caused by JC virus infection. JC virus was recently found to target promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies (PML-NBs), punctuate domains in the nuclei. Thus, the virus progenies cluster in dots as intranuclear inclusions (ie, as dot-shaped inclusions). In the present study, both the viral major and minor capsid proteins were expressed from polycistronic expression vectors with a powerful promoter, and formation into virus-like particles (VLPs) was examined by electron microscopy. When the upstream regulatory sequence including the agnogene (nt 275 to 490) was present, capsid protein expression was suppressed, but numerous VLPs were efficiently formed with restricted accumulation to PML-NBs. VLPs were uniform, and the cells were severely degraded. In contrast, when the 5' terminus of the agnogene (nt 275 to 409; 135 bp) was deleted, capsid protein expression was markedly enhanced, but VLPs were more randomly produced in the nucleus outside of PML-NBs. VLPs were pleomorphic, and cell degradation was minimal. JC virus association with PML-NBs was confirmed in human brain tissues by structured illumination microscopy. PML-NBs were shaped in spherical shells, with viral capsid proteins circumscribing the surface. These findings indicate that PML-NBs are intranuclear locations for pathogenic JC virus proliferation. Either the agnogene or its product likely supports efficient progeny production at PML-NBs, leading to subsequent degeneration of host glial cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of surface modifications induced by erbium (Er):YAG and neodymium (Nd):YAG laser irradiation on cell adhesion by comparing it to that of conventional methods for surface preparation after root-end resection. BACKGROUND DATA Many studies have been seeking a favorable method to produce a resected root end with optimal conditions for cell response. However, little improvement has been achieved. This study evaluated the biocompatibilities of resected root surfaces after Er:YAG or Nd:YAG laser irradiation on initial cell adhesion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dentin disks were divided into three groups. Group A was left untreated, Group B was treated with Er:YAG laser irradiation (60 mJ/pulse, 10 pps, 60 sec), and Group C with Nd:YAG laser irradiation (60 mJ/pulse, 10 pps, 60 sec). After laser irradiation, the dentin disks were incubated with NIH/3T3 fibroblasts cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium. A morphological analysis of the dentin surface and cell adhesion was observed under a scanning electron microscope. Surface roughness was measured using a confocal laser scanning microscope. The statistical analysis was undertaken using ANOVA at a level of significance of 5% (p<0.05). RESULTS Morphological analysis and roughness measurement showed that dentin surfaces treated with Er:YAG laser irradiation were rougher than those in Groups A and C. Group B (Er:YAG) exhibited the greatest number of attached cells among all groups after 12 and 24 h. CONCLUSIONS Morphological alteration induced by Er:YAG laser irradiation showed a favorable effect on the attachment of fibroblasts to dentin surfaces.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of argon fluoride (ArF) excimer laser irradiation on the tensile bonding strength (TBS) of dentin to composite resin. BACKGROUND DATA Dental lasers use a photothermal process, which potentially entails risk of tissue damage caused by heat affecting the bond strength of resins. The ArF excimer laser functions by a photochemical process in which the energy of photons directly cuts covalent bonds in molecules without generating heat. METHODS Twenty extracted human molars were sectioned perpendicularly to the tooth axis to expose a flat dentin surface. The surfaces were treated with various combinations of ArF excimer laser irradiation, primer treatment, and bonding treatment. After composite resin was built up on the treated dentin surface, specimens with a 1×1 mm bonding interface were prepared and subjected to TBS tests. Treated dentin surfaces were also observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). RESULTS Specimens that underwent laser irradiation followed by bonding treatment had a TBS that did not differ significantly from that of specimens that received conventional treatment, with or without priming. TEM observations showed sectioned and dispersed collagen matrix in the hybrid layer after laser irradiation, priming, and bonding, but no hybrid layer after laser irradiation and bonding at the treated dentin surface. CONCLUSIONS The TBS of conditioning with ArF excimer laser irradiation was identical to that with conventional treatment when bonding was used. The bonding mechanism with the ArF irradiation differed from that of conventional bonding depending upon dentin hybridization.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the effects of Erbium (Er):YAG laser irradiation on the morphology of resected dentine surfaces, and to investigate fibroblast attachment to laser-irradiated dentine surfaces. METHODOLOGY Dentine blocks obtained from single-rooted human teeth were divided into the following groups after sterilization in an autoclave: (i) Laser group treated with Er:YAG laser irradiation (30 mJ per pulse, 10 pps, 60 s); (ii) L-MTAD group treated with laser irradiation as in (i) plus a mixture of doxycycline, tetracycline isomer and citric acid; (iii) RC-Prep group treated with EDTA gel or cream (RC-Prep) and (iv) Control group left untreated. After each treatment, the dentine blocks were incubated with NIH/3T3 fibroblasts cultured to subconfluency in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum and antibiotics. The number of attached cells amongst the groups was analysed statistically at the 5% significance level. The dentine surface morphologies and cell attachments were evaluated by counting assays, histological observations and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). RESULTS The number of attached cells was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the Laser group than in the RC-Prep and Control groups at 16 h. Dendritic cell extension of the fibroblasts was only observed in the Laser group at 8 h by SEM. In the histological analyses, significantly more attached cells were found on the dentine surfaces treated with laser irradiation. CONCLUSIONS Er:YAG laser irradiation induced morphological alterations in dentine surfaces, which may improve the attachment of fibroblasts to dentine.

Abstract
Cell transplantation has shown to be a promising strategy to repair cartilage defects. Mesenchymal stem cells derived from synovium have been shown to be a superior cell source for cartilage regeneration to those from other mesenchymal tissues due to their higher rates of colony formation, proliferation potential with autologous serum, and in vitro/vivo chondrogenic potentials. We have found that approximately 60% of synovial mesenchymal stem cells placed on cartilage defects adhered to the defect within 10 min, and the addition of magnesium enhanced this percentage further, which resulted in better cartilage regeneration. Based upon several basic research studies performed in our lab, we have begun the transplantation of synovial stem cells arthroscopically in a clinical study for the treatment of cartilage defects. To date, no adverse events have been reported in the study. Regeneration of cartilage, reduction in defect size and an improvement of symptoms have been obtained in most patients over the last 3 years.

Abstract
The stratum corneum (SC), the outermost layer of the epidermis, acts as a barrier against the external environment. It is hydrated by endogenous humectants to avoid desiccation. However, the molecular mechanisms of SC hydration remain unclear. We report that skin-specific retroviral-like aspartic protease (SASPase) deficiency in hairless mice resulted in dry skin and a thicker and less hydrated SC with an accumulation of aberrantly processed profilaggrin, a marked decrease of filaggrin, but no alteration in free amino acid composition, compared with control hairless mice. We demonstrated that recombinant SASPase directly cleaved a linker peptide of recombinant profilaggrin. Furthermore, missense mutations were detected in 5 of 196 atopic dermatitis (AD) patients and 2 of 28 normal individuals. Among these, the V243A mutation induced complete absence of protease activity in vitro, while the V187I mutation induced a marked decrease in its activity. These findings indicate that SASPase activity is indispensable for processing profilaggrin and maintaining the texture and hydration of the SC. This provides a novel approach for elucidating the complex pathophysiology of atopic dry skin.

Abstract
Human beta-defensin-3 (HBD-3) has versatile antibacterial activity against oral bacteria and can promote the proliferation of fibroblasts. The goal of the present study was to investigate the effect of HBD-3 on attachment and proliferation of periodontal ligament cells (PDL) onto the periodontitis affected root surfaces. PDL cells were seeded onto healthy and diseased root specimens with scaling and root planing (SRP), SRP & HBD-3 (100 ng/ml), or SRP & HBD-3 (200 ng/ml) treatment for 1, 3, and 7 days incubation. The results showed that HBD-3, especially in the 200 ng/ml group, significantly promoted fibroblast attachment and proliferation onto the diseased root surfaces. The cell number in the HBD-3 group was much greater than in the group treated with SRP alone. On day 7, the cells in the HBD-3 were well-spread and formed a network similar to those on the surfaces of the healthy root specimens. These results suggest that HBD-3 could play an important role in antibacterial activity and fibroblast proliferation, thus promoting periodontal regeneration. Meanwhile, HBD-3 might act as a potent regeneration-promoter in infectious diseases.

Abstract
The accumulation of unhealthy mitochondria results in mitochondrial dysfunction, which has been implicated in aging, cancer, and a variety of degenerative diseases. However, the mechanism by which mitochondrial quality is regulated remains unclear. Here, we show that Mieap, a novel p53-inducible protein, induces intramitochondrial lysosome-like organella that plays a critical role in mitochondrial quality control. Mieap expression is directly regulated by p53 and is frequently lost in human cancer as result of DNA methylation. Mieap dramatically induces the accumulation of lysosomal proteins within mitochondria and mitochondrial acidic condition without destroying the mitochondrial structure (designated MALM, for Mieap-induced accumulation of lysosome-like organelles within mitochondria) in response to mitochondrial damage. MALM was not related to canonical autophagy. MALM is involved in the degradation of oxidized mitochondrial proteins, leading to increased ATP synthesis and decreased reactive oxygen species generation. These results suggest that Mieap induces intramitochondrial lysosome-like organella that plays a critical role in mitochondrial quality control by eliminating oxidized mitochondrial proteins. Cancer cells might accumulate unhealthy mitochondria due to p53 mutations and/or Mieap methylation, representing a potential cause of the Warburg effect.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate dentin sealing ability and microshear bond strength of two different resin cements. MATERIALS AND METHODS Resin composite overlays (Estenia C&B) were fabricated and cemented to mid-dentin surfaces with either a self-adhesive resin cement (RelyX Unicem) or a resin cement with a self-etching primer (Panavia F2.0). After 24 h storage in water, the specimens were sectioned, placed into 50% (w/v) ammoniacal silver nitrate solution for 24 h, exposed to photodeveloping solution and observed using FE-SEM and EDS. Percentage distribution of metallic silver particles in the resin cement/dentin interface was calculated using digital image analysis software. In addition, small resin overlay cylinders were also bonded to dentin using either of the resin cements, and their bonding performance was evaluated with the microshear bond strength test. The statistical significance was defined as p ≤ 0.05. RESULTS No statistically significant difference was detected in the microshear bond strength between RelyX Unicem and Panavia F2.0 (24.9 ± 4.8 and 26.1 ± 5.3 MPa, respectively, p > 0.05). However, a significant difference was detected in silver particle penetration percentage between RelyX Unicem and Panavia F2.0 (7.4 ± 4.6 and 18.7 ± 8.7 MPa, respectively). The Kruskal-Wallis mean ranks for nanoleakage were 6.8 and 14.2, respectively (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION While the bond strengths of the two materials were comparable, the self-adhesive resin cement may provide better dentin sealing compared to the self-etching primer resin cement.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the nanoleakage of one- and two-step self-etch adhesives bonded to artificial carious dentin. METHODS Deep dentin of 24 human molars was exposed and divided into four groups. One group served as control while the others were demineralized in artificial demineralization solution for 10 minutes, 6 hours, and 24 hours. Roots were sectioned and the crowns were bonded with one- and two-step self-etch adhesives (Clearfil S3 and Clearfil SE Bond) then restored with flowable composite (Estelite Flow Quick). Specimens were exposed to intrapulpal pressure through a tube connected to a barrel filled with silver nitrate solution in total darkness for 24 hours and then sectioned into two mid-slabs that were photo-developed and prepared for nanoleakage evaluation using FE-SEM and EDX. Penetration of silver into the hybrid and adhesive layers was evaluated and compared between adhesives and dentin condition. Data were statistically analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test (alpha = .05). RESULTS Increasing depths of demineralization were observed with increasing demineralization time. There were statistically significant differences for both adhesives (P < 0.05) and dentin demineralization (P< 0.05) in hybrid and adhesive layers. Normal dentin interfaces revealed no or slight nanoleakage regardless of adhesive. The bonded interface treated with one-step Clearfil S3 showed significant differences between normal and demineralized dentin. Also a trend towards increases in nanoleakage with the increasing of the demineralization time was demonstrated. Different patterns of nanoleakage were observed within adhesives.

OBJECTIVE We previously reported that more than 60% of synovial mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) placed on osteochondral defects adhered to the defect within 10 min and promoted cartilage regeneration. The efficiency of adherence is considered to depend on the interaction between cells and extracellular matrix (ECM), in which integrins may play some important roles. Divalent cations such as calcium, magnesium, and manganese may affect functions of integrins, and the integrins may be involved in differentiation of MSCs. Among divalent cations, magnesium is used in clinical practice as a therapeutic agent and increases the affinity of integrin to ECM. In this study, we investigated whether magnesium enhanced adherence and chondrogenesis of synovial MSC through integrins. METHODS We performed assays for adherence of human synovial MSCs to collagen-coated slides, in vitro chondrogenesis, ex vivo assays for adherence of human synovial MSCs to osteochondral defect, and in vivo assays for adherence and cartilage formation of synovial MSCs in a rabbit osteochondral defect model. RESULTS Magnesium increased adhesion of human synovial MSCs to collagen, and this effect was inhibited by neutralizing antibodies for integrin α3 and β1. Magnesium also promoted synthesis of cartilage matrix during in vitro chondrogenesis of synovial MSCs, which was diminished by neutralizing antibodies for integrin β1 but not for integrin α3. Ex vivo analyses demonstrated that magnesium enhanced adherence of human synovial MSCs to osteochondral defects. In vivo studies in rabbits showed that magnesium promoted adherence at 1 day and cartilage formation of synovial MSCs at 2 weeks. CONCLUSION Magnesium enhanced adherence of synovial MSCs through integrins, which promoted synthesis of cartilage matrix at an early phase.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dentine matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) may participate in the destruction of dentine following demineralization by bacterial acids. This study investigated the localization of MMPs in carious dentine. METHODS Frozen sections of dentine caries were prepared without demineralization and immersed in monoclonal antibody against MMP-2, -8, -9 and -20. The sections were labelled by IgG conjugated with gold colloidal particles, and observed under FE-SEM. Labelling indexes (number of gold particles/mum(2)) of outer and inner carious dentine, respectively, with and without bacterial infection, were compared with that of normal dentine. RESULTS MMP-2 was distributed in both carious and normal dentine; the level of MMP-2 showed no significant difference among the outer caries, inner caries, and normal dentine. The labelling indexes of MMP-8 and MMP-9 both significantly decreased at the inner carious dentine compared with the level of normal dentine, but intensified again at the outer caries region. The labelling index of MMP-20 was the highest at normal dentine. CONCLUSIONS The localization of MMPs was visibly detected using immunogold labelling. The localization of MMP-2 showed no significant difference among the three regions, while MMP-8 and MMP-9 showed significant reduction at the inner caries layer, and MMP-20 reduced toward the outer caries.

Abstract
Abstract
Background; Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most frequently occurring solid tumor in children, and shows heterogeneous clinical behavior. Favorable tumors, which are usually detected by mass screening based on increased levels of catecholamines in urine, regress spontaneously via programmed cell death (PCD) or mature through differentiation into benign ganglioneuroma (GN). In contrast, advanced-type NB tumors often grow aggressively, despite intensive chemotherapy. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of PCD during spontaneous regression in favorable NB tumors, as well as identifying genes with a pro-death role, is a matter of urgency for developing novel approaches to the treatment of advanced-type NB tumors.
Key findings; We found that the expression of lysosomal associated protein multispanning transmembrane 5 (LAPTM5) was usually down-regulated due to DNA methylation in an NB cell-specific manner, but up-regulated in degenerating NB cells within locally regressing areas of favorable tumors detected by mass-screening. Experiments in vitro showed that not only a restoration of its expression but also the accumulation of LAPTM5 protein, was required to induce non-apoptotic cell death with autophagic vacuoles and lysosomal destabilization with lysosomal-membrane permeabilization (LMP) in a caspase-independent manner. While autophagy is a membrane-trafficking pathway to degrade the proteins in lysosomes, the LAPTM5-mediated lysosomal destabilization with LMP leads to an interruption of autophagic flux, resulting in the accumulation of immature autophagic vacuoles, p62/SQSTM1, and ubiqitinated proteins as substrates of autophagic degradation. In addition, ubiquitin-positive inclusion bodies appeared in degenerating NB cells.
Conclusions; We propose a novel molecular mechanism for PCD with the accumulation of autophagic vacuoles due to LAPTM5-mediated lysosomal destabilization. LAPTM5-induced cell death is lysosomal cell death with impaired autophagy, not cell death by autophagy, so-called autophagic cell death. Thus LAPTM5-mediated PCD is closely associated with the spontaneous regression of NBs and opens new avenues for exploring innovative clinical interventions for this tumor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic endemic dental fluorosis is a malformation of teeth caused by excessive ingestion of fluoride during period of tooth development. Apatite crystallites and collagen fibrils determine the caries susceptibility related properties of dentine. Information relating the effect of dental fluorosis with dentine crystallite and collagen structure is currently unavailable. This study examined structural aberrations of apatite crystallites and collagen fibrils in human fluorosed dentine. METHOD Superficial dentine of thirty six normal (Thylstrup-Fejerskov index - 0) and thirty six severely fluorosed (Thylstrup-Fejerskov index - 7 to 9) extracted human molars from individuals living in an area which is endemic for dental fluorosis were morphologically analyzed using transmission electron microscopy with selected area electron diffraction and dynamic force microscopy. RESULTS A statistically significant enlargement in the size of crystallites was found in fluorosed dentine (p<0.05). These crystallites were not homogenously arranged. Selected area electron diffraction revealed a lower density of crystallites in fluorosed dentine. Randomly distributed collagen fibrils showed a less complex lay out in contrast to normal dentine tissue. CONCLUSION Ultrastructure aberrations of the dentine explain the caries susceptibility of the tissue and suggest the necessity of special approach in dental caries treatment for patients with chronic severe endemic dental fluorosis.

Abstract
To investigate the adhesion factor of Bacteroides vulgatus derived from ulcerative colitis (UC), we isolated B. vulgatus strains from the large intestinal mucosa of UC patients and non-UC individuals, and examined their adherence to tissue-cultured cells. The adherence to tissue-cultured cells in UC-derived strains (36.5 +/- 7.9 %) was higher than that in non-UC-derived strains (13.2 +/- 7.7 %). PCR and sequencing analysis of outer membrane proteins revealed that the strains derived from five of seven (71.4 %) UC patients had ompA genes belonging to either ompA variant type A or B. The adherence rates in Escherichia coli DH5 a transformants with ompA type A variants (33.3 +/- 4.6 %) and type B variants (34.6 +/- 7.1 %) were higher than the rate in those with non-UC ompA (16.4 +/- 4.0 %). Our results suggest that B. vulgatus isolates in the mucosal flora of the large intestine of UC patients have a high frequency of ompA variants and that the variation of ompA variants is one of the factor causing an increase in the adherence of the bacterium.
