TL;DR: The ability of Candida bombicola ATCC 22214 to produce sophorolipids using Turkish corn oil and honey was investigated and high concentrations of sophorlipids were produced.
Abstract: The ability of Candida bombicola ATCC 22214 to produce sophorolipids using Turkish corn oil and honey was investigated. Shake flask experiments were carried out both with and without the addition of glucose as the second carbon source. The organism could produce sophorolipids under both conditions but higher production was obtained when corn oil was combined with glucose. The 3 L bioreactor was first operated in batch mode, using both corn oil and glucose. When all the glucose was consumed, 1/4th of the broth was pumped out and was replaced by freshly prepared medium containing 10 % [w/v] of cheap market honey as the sole carbon source. Feed was comprised of corn oil. High concentrations of sophorolipids (&n62; 400 g/L) were produced. The crude products obtained from the batch cultivation could be solidified as very light brown solids when unused oil was removed by hexane, while the products of the two-stage cultivation remained as viscous, honey-like liquids after identical treatments.

TL;DR: Rosiglitazone therapy seems to be more effective in metabolic control and histological improvement in NAFLD patients with impaired glucose metabolism.
Abstract: AIM To investigate the efficacy of insulin-sensitizing agents in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients. METHODS This is an open-label, randomized, a single-center study. Sixty-four patients, with impaired glucose metabolism and elevated alanine aminotransferase for at least 6 months before enrollment and NAFLD activity score at least 5 in liver biopsy, were randomized as group 1 and received metformin 1700 mg/day, group 2 received rosiglitazone 4 mg/day, and group 3 received a combination of metformin 1700 mg/day and rosiglitazone 4 mg/day for 12 months. RESULTS Baseline demographic and laboratory findings were similar in all the three groups, except baseline insulin level that was significantly higher in group 1 and group 3 versus group 2 (P<0.05). Serum transaminase levels showed a significant decrease after treatment in both group 2 and group 3. Serum gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase levels decreased significantly only in the group 3. However, there was no significant change in liver tests of group 1. Postprandial glucose levels showed significant decrease in all of the three groups. Homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance was reduced significantly in only group 2. NAFLD score was significantly decreased on follow-up biopsy of the patients in group 2 and group 3. Fibrosis did not change significantly after the treatment. CONCLUSION Rosiglitazone therapy seems to be more effective in metabolic control and histological improvement in NAFLD patients with impaired glucose metabolism.

TL;DR: CCM, DMLS and TC metal ceramic crowns performed similarly in terms of clinical marginal and axial wall adaptation and the cement film thickness at the occlusal region and axio-occlusal region were higher for D MLS crowns than those of other groups.
Abstract: Statement of problem Metal ceramic crowns are widely used in clinical practice, but comparisons of the clinical adaptation of restorations made with different processing techniques are lacking. Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical marginal and internal adaptation of metal ceramic crowns fabricated with 3 different techniques: computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) milling (CCM), direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), and traditional casting (TC). Material and methods Twenty CCM, 20 DMLS, and 20 TC metal ceramic crowns were fabricated for 42 patients. Before luting the crowns, silicone replicas were obtained to measure marginal gap and internal adaptation that was evaluated at 3 regions: axial wall, axio-occlusal angle, and occlusal surface. Measurements were made with a reflected light binocular stereomicroscope at 20× magnification and analyzed with 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Bonferroni post hoc test (α=.05). Results The mean marginal gap values were 86.64 μm for CCM, 96.23 μm for DMLS, and 75.92 μm for TC. The means at the axial wall region were 117.5 μm for the CCM group, 139.02 μm for the DMLS group, and 121.38 μm for the TC group. One-way ANOVA revealed no statistically significant differences among the groups for measurements at the marginal gap ( P =.082) and the axial wall region ( P =.114). The means at the axio-occlusal region were 142.1 μm for CCM, 188.12 μm for DMLS, and 140.63 μm for TC, and those at the occlusal surface region were 265.73 μm for CCM, 290.39 μm for DMLS, and 201.09 μm for TC. The mean values of group DMLS were significantly higher at the axio-occlusal region and the occlusal surface region than those of other groups ( P Conclusions CCM, DMLS and TC metal ceramic crowns performed similarly in terms of clinical marginal and axial wall adaptation. The cement film thickness at the occlusal region and axio-occlusal region were higher for DMLS crowns.
