Post and core is used to restore endodontically treated teeth, and it is a very important part which supplies retention and support to the prosthesis. But occasionally, caries occurred due to the microleakage at the post and core and tooth interface, the failure of prosthesis has happened. In this study, the microleakage of cast gold post and core, amalgam core, and composite resin core was investigated and compared. The coronal part of the extracted upper anterior teeth were removed and endodontically treated with conventional method. The teeth were divided into three groups. In group 1, cast gold post and core was cemented with resin cement and in group 2, ready-made post was cemented with resin cement and amalgam core was built. In group 3, ready-made post was cemented with resin cement and composite resin core was built. All specimens were thermocycled between 5degrees C and 55degrees C with dwell time of 15 seconds, and immersed in 0.5degrees C aqueous solution of basic fuchsin dye for 24 hours. After embedded in the epoxy resin, the specimens were sectioned longitudinally and observed with stereomicroscope with the magnification of 25. From the findings of this study, the following conclusions were obtained. 1. There was microleakage at the core/tooth interface of all specimens. 2. The microleakage of gold post and core was significantly less than those of the other two groups. 3. There was no significant difference between the microleakage of amalgam core and that of composite resin core.

Twenty dyes which previously have been claimed to be excreted in pancreatic juice were reinvestigated to determine to what extent they could be eliminated through the pancreas. Exogenous secretin or cholecysto-kinin-pancreozymin(CCK-PZ) stimuli were used in dogs which had been given intravenous dye solutions at the rate of 1mg/min. In this experiment among the twenty dyes, only six were found to be eliminated through the pancreas. The intensity of dye color in pancreatic juice was estimated photometrically or macroscopically. The dye color intensity decreased as follows; basic fuchsin, acridine red, new fuchsin, rhodamin B, phenol red and rhodamin 6G. Basic fuchsin consistently appeared in CCK-PZ stimulated juice. However, it was seen in only a scant amount or not at all in juice stimulated by purified Vitrum (Sweden) secretin. Similar findings were observed in cats and conscious pigs. The content of basic fuchsin in pancreatic juice was more related to changes in the enzyme concentration than to other components. The chloride content of the juice was related to the amylase or basic fuchsin secretion. However, the chloride content was inversely related to the secreted volume. Vagal stimulation or the administration of parasympathomimetics produced a juice rich in enzyme content, but the dye response to vagal stimulation was weak. Usually the volume of secreted pancreatic juice following stimulation by Boots (England) secretin is greater than stimulated by purified Vitrum preparation. Basic fuchsin was slightly reduced during its elimination from pancreas or when present in alkaline pancreatic juice. Adding acid and formaldehyde revived the color. The acridine red and other pyronine dyes caused the juice to fluorescence. This effect lasted over 24 hours.

The color reaction characteristic of renal tuberculosis was derived by J. Desbordes in 1952 and its clinical value in the diagnosis of genitourinary tuberculosis was confirmed by Yamata-Nagamoto in 1953. The author examined the reaction on renal tuberculosis and lung tuberculosis and leprosy and other various non-tubercular diseases and the method and the results are shown as follows: METHODS: Place 2cc of fresh urine in a small test tube, add 1 or 2 drops of 10% formalin solution, and then 1 drop of Ziehl's carbolfuchsin solution. If purple or violet-red precipitation is present in the test tube, it is positive reaction, if color of fuchsin only, it is negative. When the urine is cloudy, centrifuged or filtered urine should be used for this color reaction. RESULTS: (1) Carbolfuchsin color reaction in the urine of the patients with tuberculosis is present in higher percentage, and the reaction shows positive or weak in the all cases of renal tuberculosis. (2) This color reaction occurs frequently in the urine of the patients with leprosy (3) This color reaction is negative in the diluted solution of tuberculin.

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the microleakage and penetration of fissure sealant in permanent molar teeth with fluorosis after pretreatment of the occlusal surface. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 120 third molars with mild dental fluorosis were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 20). The tooth surfaces were sealed with an unfilled resin fissure sealant (FS) material. The experimental groups included: 1) phosphoric acid etching (AE) + FS (control); 2) AE + One-Step Plus (OS, Bisco) + FS; 3) bur + AE + FS; 4) bur + AE + OS + FS; 5) Er:YAG laser + AE + FS; and 6) Er:YAG laser + AE + OS + FS. After thermocycling, the teeth were immersed in 0.5% fuchsin and sectioned. Proportions of mircoleakage (PM) and unfilled area (PUA) were measured by digital microscope. RESULTS: Overall, there were significant differences among all groups in the PM (p = 0.00). Group 3 showed the greatest PM, and was significantly different from groups 2 to 6 (p < 0.05). Group 6 showed the lowest PM. Pretreatment with Er:YAG with or without adhesive led to less PM than bur pretreatment. There were no significant differences among groups in PUA. CONCLUSIONS: Conventional acid etching provided a similar degree of occlusal seal in teeth with fluorosis compared to those pretreated with a bur or Er:YAG laser. Pretreatment of pits and fissures with Er:YAG in teeth with fluorosis may be an alternative method before fissure sealant application.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to assess the effect of 38% carbamide peroxide on the microleakage of class V cavities restored with either a silorane-based composite or two methacrylate-based composites. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 96 class V cavities were prepared on the buccal surface of extracted human teeth with both enamel and dentin margins and were randomly assigned into three groups of Filtek P90 (3M-ESPE) + P90 system adhesive (3M-ESPE)(group A), Filtek Z250 (3M-ESPE) + Adper Prompt L-Pop (3M-ESPE)(group B) and Filtek Z350XT (3M-ESPE) + Adper Prompt L-Pop (group C). Half of the teeth were randomly underwent bleaching (38% carbamide peroxide, Day White, Discus Dental, applying for 15 min, twice a day for 14 day) while the remaining half (control) were not bleached. Dye penetration was measured following immersion in basic fuchsine. Data were statistically analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests at a level of 0.05. RESULTS: No significant differences were found between composites in the control groups in enamel (p = 0.171) or dentin (p = 0.094) margins. After bleaching, microleakage of Z250 (in enamel [p = 0.867] or dentin [p = 0.590] margins) and Z350 (in enamel [p = 0.445] or dentin [p = 0.591] margins) did not change significantly, but the microleakage of P90 significantly increased in both enamel (p = 0.042) and dentin (p = 0.002) margins. CONCLUSIONS: No significant differences were noted between the bleached and control subgroups of two methacrylate-based composites in enamel or dentin margins. Microleakage of silorane-based composite significantly increased after bleaching.

BACKGROUND: The present investigation was undertaken to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of etomidate against kainic acid (KA) induced neurotoxicity in rats by using the immunoreactivity of heat shock protein-70 (HSP-70) and the acid-fuchsin stain. METHODS: Administration of etomidate (20 mg/kg, I.P.) was performed in sequence; first being just one hour after a KA (10 mg/kg, I.P.) injection, then three more times at one hour intervals. Neuronal damages in the hippocampus were evaluated by using the acid-fuchsin stain to detect cell death and HSP-70 induction as an index of cell injury at 24 h after the administration of KA. RESULTS: HSP-70 induction and acid fuchsin positive neurons were increased in the CA1 and CA3 regions of the hippocampus after a KA injection but significantly decreased by an injection of etomidate (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the etomidate has a potential effect on the protection of neurons against KA-induced neurotoxicity.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of brackets and microleakage of a tooth-adhesive-bracket complex bonded with a direct and an indirect bonding technique after thermocycling. METHODS: Fifty non-carious human premolars were divided into two equal groups. In the direct bonding group a light-cured adhesive and a primer (Transbond XT) was used. In the indirect-bonding group, a light-cured adhesive (Transbond XT) and chemical-cured primer (Sondhi Rapid Set) were used. After polymerization, the teeth were kept in distilled water for 24 hours and thereafter subjected to thermal cycling (500 cycles). For the microleakage evaluation, 10 teeth from each group were further sealed with nail varnish, stained with 0.5% basic fuchsin for 24 hours, and examined under a stereomicroscope. Fifteen teeth from each group were used for SBS testing with the universal testing machine and adhesive remnant index (ARI) evaluation. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test. RESULTS: There were no statistical differences on SBS and microleakage between the two bonding techniques. The indirect bonding group had a significantly lower ARI score. Bracket failures were obtained between enamel-resin interfaces. CONCLUSIONS: The type of bonding technique did not significantly affect the amount of microleakage and SBS.

OBJECTIVESTo evaluate the application of Coomassie brilliant blue (CBB) G250 staining for the detection of human sperm deformity rate, rate of intact acrosome and acrosome reaction.

METHODSThe smear of spermatozoa before and after capacitation and induced acrosome reaction with progesterone (P) were stained with 0.05% CBB G250 and Wright-Giemisa solution respectively, and visualized with light microscopy. The deformity rate of spermatozoa, rate of intact acrosome and acrosome reaction were calculated.

RESULTSThere was no any difference in detection of deformity rate of spermatozoa and rate of intact acrosome with CBB G250 and Wright-Giemisa staining(P < 0.05). The sperm population of acrosome reaction with induced P was divided by CBB staining into two types: positive staining with dark violet blue on acrosome cap and pale or negative staining on the same area. The rate of the latter was increasing with increasing inductive time, maybe representative of the rate of acrosome reaction. The mean rate was(75.1 +/- 3.8)% after induced for 1 h.

CONCLUSIONSCBB G250 staining is a reliable method for assessment of the human sperm morphology and acrosome reaction.
