    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between patient satisfaction of outcomes and tooth color changes during and after tooth bleaching.
    Methods: In this clinical trial, 63 volunteers participated in an in-office bleaching procedure using a 40% hydrogen peroxide gel. The treatment consisted of two sessions, each comprising two 30-min applications of the bleaching gel. The L*, a*, and b* values of six maxillary anterior teeth were measured at baseline (T1), after the first bleaching session (T2), after the second bleaching session (T3), 1 week after the second in-office bleaching session (T4), and 3 weeks after the second in-office bleaching session (T5). The color differences (ΔE
    Results: Significant correlations were observed between ΔL*, Δb*, and ΔE
    Conclusions: The ΔL*, Δb*, and ΔE
    Clinical significance: This study emphasizes the importance of considering the extent of color change needed to achieve patient satisfaction after tooth bleaching procedures.

    Abstract The Child Behavior Checklist 1.5-5 (CBCL 1.5-5) is applied to identify emotional and behavioral problems on children with developmental disabilities (e.g., autism spectrum disorder [ASD] and developmental delays [DD]). To understand whether there are variations between these two groups on CBCL DSM-oriented scales, we took two invariance analyses on 443 children (228 children with ASD). The first analysis used measurement invariance and multiple-group factor analysis on the test structure. The second analysis used item-level analysis, i.e., differential item functioning (DIF), to discover whether group memberships responded differently on some items even though underlying trait levels were the same. It was discovered that, on the test structure, the Anxiety Problems scale did not achieve metric invariance. The other scales achieved metric invariance; DIF analyses further revealed that there were items that functioned differently across subscales. These DIF items were mostly about children's reactions to the surrounding environment. Our findings provide implications for clinicians to use CBCL DSM-oriented scales on differentiating children with ASD and children with DD. In addition, researchers need to be mindful about how items were responded differently, even though there were no mean differences on the surface.

    Abstract Several risk factors are related to glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), including demographics, medical conditions, negative emotions, lipid profiles, and heart rate variability (HRV; to present cardiac autonomic activity). The interactions between these risk factors remain unclear. This study aimed to use machine learning methods of artificial intelligence to explore the relationships between various risk factors and glycemic control in T2DM patients. The study utilized a database from Lin et al. (2022) that included 647 T2DM patients. Regression tree analysis was conducted to identify the interactions among risk factors that contribute to glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values, and various machine learning methods were compared for their accuracy in classifying T2DM patients. The results of the regression tree analysis revealed that high depression scores may be a risk factor in one subgroup but not in others. When comparing different machine learning classification methods, the random forest algorithm emerged as the best-performing method with a small set of features. Specifically, the random forest algorithm achieved 84% accuracy, 95% area under the curve (AUC), 77% sensitivity, and 91% specificity. Using machine learning methods can provide significant value in accurately classifying patients with T2DM when considering depression as a risk factor.

    Abstract Background: High levels of neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation or NETosis and autoantibodies are related to poor prognosis and disease severity of COVID-19 patients. Human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) cross-reactive anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 spike protein receptor-binding domain (SARS-CoV-2 RBD) antibodies (CR Abs) have been reported as one of the sources of anti-ACE2 autoantibodies. However, the pathological implications of CR Abs in NET formation remain unknown.
    Methods: In this study, we first assessed the presence of CR Abs in the sera of COVID-19 patients with different severity by serological analysis. Sera and purified IgG from CR Abs positive COVID-19 patients as well as a mouse monoclonal Ab (mAb 127) that can recognize both ACE2 and the RBD were tested for their influence on NETosis and the possible mechanisms involved were studied.
    Results: An association between CR Abs levels and the severity of COVID-19 in 120 patients was found. The CR Abs-positive sera and IgG from severe COVID-19 patients and mAb 127 significantly activated human leukocytes and triggered NETosis, in the presence of RBD. This NETosis, triggered by the coexistence of CR Abs and RBD, activated thrombus-related cells but was abolished when the interaction between CR Abs and ACE2 or Fc receptors was disrupted. We also revealed that CR Abs-induced NETosis was suppressed in the presence of recombinant ACE2 or the Src family kinase inhibitor, dasatinib. Furthermore, we found that COVID-19 vaccination not only reduced COVID-19 severity but also prevented the production of CR Abs after SARS-CoV-2 infection.
    Conclusions: Our findings provide possible pathogenic effects of CR Abs in exacerbating COVID-19 by enhancing NETosis, highlighting ACE2 and dasatinib as potential treatments, and supporting the benefit of vaccination in reducing disease severity and CR Abs production in COVID-19 patients.

    Abstract Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) have been identified as a population at increased risk for severe SARS-CoV-2 infection outcomes. This study focused on understanding the immune response of KTRs post-vaccination, specifically examining both serological and cellular responses to the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Thirteen individuals, including seven KTRs and six healthy donors, were evaluated for antibody levels and T cell responses post-vaccination. The study revealed that KTRs had significantly lower serological responses, including reduced anti-receptor binding domain (RBD) binding antibodies and neutralizing antibodies against the Wuhan, Delta, and Omicron BA.2 strains. Additionally, KTRs demonstrated weaker CD8 T cell cytotoxic responses and lower Th1 cytokine secretion, particularly IFN-γ, after stimulation with variant spike peptide pools. These findings highlight the compromised immunity in KTRs post-vaccination and underscore the need for tailored strategies to bolster immune responses in this vulnerable group. Further investigations are warranted into the mechanisms underlying reduced vaccine efficacy in KTRs and potential therapeutic interventions.
    Importance: Some studies have revealed that KTRs had lower serological response against SARS-CoV-2 than healthy people. Nevertheless, limited studies investigate the cellular response against SARS-CoV-2 in KTRs receiving SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. Here, we found that KTRs have lower serological and cellular responses. Moreover, we found that KTRs had a significantly lower IFN-γ secretion than healthy individuals when their PBMCs were stimulated with SARS-CoV-2 spike peptide pools. Thus, our findings suggested that additional strategies are needed to enhance KTR immunity triggered by the vaccine.

    Abstract Statement of problem: Various components of smile esthetics have been evaluated. However, whether these components affect smile esthetics in Han Chinese celebrities, dentists, and dental students is unknown.
    Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the smile esthetics of celebrities, dentists, and dental students in a Han Chinese population.
    Material and methods: Frontal images of smiles were obtained from the Internet for the celebrity group, while images of dentists and dental students were collected for the dentist and dental student groups. The buccal and posterior corridor ratios, the alignment discrepancy between the commissural and interpupillary lines, the number of teeth revealed, the width ratio relative to the golden proportion, and the width-to-length ratios of maxillary anterior teeth were calculated by using a photo-editing software program. Statistical analysis was performed by using 2-way ANOVA and the Tukey HSD test (α=.05).
    Results: Eligible images were obtained for 81 celebrities, 83 dentists, and 78 dental students. The celebrities were found to have the highest buccal and posterior corridor ratios and reveal the least teeth in the smile among the 3 groups (all P<.001). The alignment discrepancy for celebrities was significantly less than that for dental students (P=.025). Moreover, the absolute difference of width ratios from the golden proportion was significantly different from 0 for all groups (all P<.001).
    Conclusions: Significant differences were found in the smiles of Han Chinese celebrities, dentists, and dental students in regard to the buccal and posterior corridor ratios, the alignment discrepancy between the commissural and interpupillary lines, and the number of teeth revealed. Chinese celebrities tended to have a smile that displays to the second premolar, with a medium buccal corridor width.

    Abstract Background: A reduction in bond strength of bleached enamel has been confirmed in the literature. Although limited information is available, it is conceivable that the veneer preparation process may remove the impacted enamel and further eliminate the compromised bond strength between the composite resin and bleached enamel. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of surface removal following bleaching on the micro-shear bond strength (μSBS) of bleached enamel.
    Methods: Forty-eight specimens were prepared from bovine incisors and were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 24): group B (bleaching with 40% hydrogen peroxide for 2 × 45 min with a 1-week interval) and group C (control group without bleaching treatment). Immediately after receiving the treatments, 0.5 mm of the enamel was removed from the specimen surface, followed by bonding of composite resin to the enamel surface. Each group was further divided into 2 subgroups of 12 specimens each: subgroup T (with 5000 thermocycles in water baths at 5 °C and 55 °C), and subgroup N (without thermocycling). The μSBS values were measured using a universal testing machine and subjected to two-way analysis of variance (α = 0.05). The fracture modes of the specimens were observed using a stereomicroscope.
    Results: The μSBS values of the different groups ranged from 21.42 to 25.21 MPa. Following a surface reduction of 0.5 mm, bleaching treatment and thermocycling did not significantly affect the μSBS values (P = 0.348 and P = 0.507, respectively). No significant interaction was found between the bleaching treatment and thermocycling (P = 0.514). All the groups exhibited a high percentage of mixed failures. Compared with group C, group B exhibited higher percentage of adhesive failure.
    Conclusion: The results suggested that the bonding procedure could be performed on the bleached enamel following a surface reduction of 0.5 mm immediately after the bleaching treatment.
