BACKGROUND Post-operative pain (PP) following pulpectomy is of concern for endodontic patients and dentists. AIM The current study evaluated the intensity of PP following pulpectomy in primary maxillary molars, using two irrigation needles. DESIGN One hundred patients in ages ranging from 6 to 9 years requiring pulpectomy for asymptomatic primary teeth with non-vital pulp were included in the study. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups of 50 patients each, according to the type of irrigation needle used, that is, a conventional open-ended needle and a double side-vented needle. The teeth were obturated and then permanently restored. The presence of PP was assessed after six, 12, 24, 48, and 72hours, and finally after one week, using a four-point pain-intensity scale. The PP scores were then statistically analyzed. RESULTS In 6, 12,and 24h time intervals, patients who had their teeth irrigated with the open-ended needle exhibited more intense PP than those who had their teeth irrigated with a double side-vented needle (P0.05). CONCLUSIONS Side-vented needles may be preferred in order to decrease PP at the first 24 hours after pulpectomy in primary molars. This article is protected by copyright.

Predation is seen as the main cause of deaths, but might be reduced by training fish prior to release to avoid predators and/or use refuge. In this study on a potential restocking species, yellowfin bream Acanthopagrus australis, the effects of predator training and refuge on the behaviour of fish in the hatchery was tested. In the first experiment, juvenile bream were exposed to predatory mangrove jack (Lutjanus argentimaculatus) fed exclusively on bream flesh, while housed in tanks with and without refuge. Predator training altered fish behaviour when fish were re-exposed to predators, but the effects were subtle and varied between groups of fish. In contrast, refuge created strong and consistent changes in behaviour, significantly slowing the amount of time that fish took to consume food. A second experiment focused on the effects of refuge. read more Bream were trained to use artificial seagrass or house bricks as refuge, and then exposed to mangrove jacks in a laboratory predation experiment. When available, fish used refuge and significantly slowed their feeding rate. There was a small, transient increase in survival for fish given seagrass refuges, but this was irrespective of whether the bream were trained to use refuge. Our results indicate use of refuge may be innate and the benefits of refuge may be available to naive hatchery reared fish or fish trained to use refuge shortly before release. This suggests there is potential to improve post-release survival of fingerlings without time-consuming and costly hatchery training. This article is protected by copyright.

This study aimed to compare the growth and body composition indices of children with disabilities with those of typically developing children. METHODS Students from two elementary schools and one special school were recruited. Height, body weight, fat mass, fat-free mass (FFM), skeletal muscle mass, and percentage body fat (PBF) were measured. Raw data and proportions of classifications (under-, within-, and over- range) according to the reference value were analyzed. RESULTS In total, 355 typically developing children, and 73 children with disabilities participated. FFM was significantly lower in students with disabilities than in typically developing students (32.14 ± 5.82 vs. 28.71 ± 5.92, P less then 0.05). read more Compared to typically developing students, students with disabilities showed tendencies of lower ranges of BMI and FMI (fat mass index). The proportion of under-, within-, or over- ranges of FFMI (fat-free mass index) was significantly different between the two groups. Among the factors, age, gender, and disability, disability significantly influenced FFMI in school-aged children. The proportion of three ranges of BMI, PBF, FMI were significantly different among the age groups in students with disabilities (P = 0.006, P = 0.0001, and P = 0.001, respectively). Younger children had significantly more proportions of under range in BMI, PBF, FMI. CONCLUSIONS Disability significantly affects FFMI that represents muscle mass. Therefore, it is crucial to make efforts to increase physical activity and to improve nutrition in rehabilitative intervention strategies. This article is protected by copyright.

The functions of the majority of RLKs have not yet been determined. • We previously generated promoterGUS transgenic plants for all leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-RLKs in Arabidopsis and analyzed their expression patterns during various developmental stages. We found the expression of two LRR-RLKs, MUSTACHES (MUS) and MUSTACHES-LIKE (MUL), are overlapped in lateral root primordia. Independent mutants, mus-3 mul-1 and mus-4 mul-2, show a significantly decreased emerged lateral root phenotype. • Our analyses indicate that the defects of the double mutant occur mainly at stage I of lateral root development. Exogenous application of auxin can dramatically enhance the transcription of MUS, which is largely dependent on ARF7 and ARF19. MUS and MUL are inactive kinases in vitro but are phosphorylated in planta, possibly by an unknown kinase. The kinase activity of MUS is dispensable for its function in lateral root development. Many cell wall related genes are down regulated in mus-3 mul-1. • In conclusion, we identified MUS and MUL, two kinase-inactive RLKs, in controlling the early development of lateral root primordia likely via regulating cell wall synthesis and remodeling.
