ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the solubility and the amount of fluoride release when a resin surface coating agent is applied to RMGIC. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To measure the fluoride release and solubility, Fuji II LC®and Filtek™ Z350XT without a surface coating, Fuji II LC® with G coat plus™ and Fuji II LC® with Permaseal® were prepared. And the amount of fluoride release and solubility were measured. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the daily fluoride release between the surface coating agents. The cumulative fluoride release was significantly different between the groups using RMGIC at 56 days (P < 0.05). In the solubility measurement, RMGIC without surface coating was significantly different only on the 7th day compared to the other three groups (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Surface coating agents can prevent the degradation of properties by the initial solvent in RMGIC. Therefore, fluoride is preserved inside the restorative material and the effect of surface coating after the addition is reduced, so that the effect on fluoride release and storage is also reduced.

OBJECTIVE: To provide a theoretical basis for industrialized production of compound L-carnitine coating agent by optimizing the prescription. METHODS: Using the time of coating formation as the evaluation index, Central composite design was used to optimize the ratio of film-former and plasticizer on the basis of single factor experiments. RESULTS: The film-former is 15.4% acrylic resin II, and the plasticizer is 10.4% glycerin. CONCLUSION: In this paper, the optimal formulation and dosage of compound L-carnitine coating agent was screened. This formulation can provide reference for the molding process of the preparation and the experiment of percutaneous absorption.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the optimum preparation process of triptolide nanometer coating agent. Methods: Optimum preparation process was investigated by uniform design with the amount of film forming material such as polyethylene glycol 124 (PVA124), carbomer, CMC-Na, and the mixing time as investigating factors, and with uniformity, film-forming ability, and peeling strength as indexes. We conducted sc simulation experiment in vitro to investigate the percutaneous penetration process of triptolide nanometer coating agent. Results: The best way to prepare triptolide nanometer coating agent is that we use glycerol monostearate 1.6 g, glycerin 0.25 g, PVA124 3.9 g, Carbomer 0.6 g, CMC-Na 0.9 g, and mix them in 150 min. With above preparation process, we can achieve better coating agent. JS was 0.350 µg/(cm2·h) and the cumulative permeation quantity in 24 h was 11.534 µg/cm2. Conclusion: Using the optimum preparation process, we can get better triptolide nanometer coating agent, which is uniform, easy coating,good adhesion with skin, strong flexibility, and drying soon.
ABSTRACT
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Die materials require abrasion resistance, dimensional stability with time, and high surface wettability for adequate material properties. Wear of gypsum materials is a significant problem in the fabrication of accurately fitting cast prosthetic devices. So It has been recommended that the use of die hardener before carving or burnishing ofthe wax pattern. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the abrasion resistance and surface microhardness(Knoop) with 3 commonly used gypsum die materials(MG Crystal Rock, Super plumstone, GC FUJIROCK(R) EP) with and without the application of 2 die hardeners. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Three die materials were evaluated for abrasion resistance and surface microhardness after application of 2 die hardeners(Die hardener and Stone die & plaster hardener). Thirty specimens of each gypsum material were fabricated using an impression of resin die(Pattern resin; GC Corporation, Japan) with 1-mm high ridges, sloped 90 degrees. Gypsum materials were mixed according to manufacturer's recommendations and allowed to set 24 hours before coating. Specimens were arbitrary assigned to 1 of 3 treatment subgroups (n=10/subgroup): no treatment(control), coated with Die hardener, and coated with Stone die & plaster hardener. Abrasion resistance(measured by weight loss) was evaluated using device in 50g mass perpendicular to the ridges. Knoop hardness was determined by loading each specimen face 5 times for 15 seconds with a force of 50g. A scanning electron microscope was used to evaluate the surface of specimens in each treatment subgroup. Conclusions: The obtained results were as follows: 1. 3 types of die stone evaluated in this study did not show significant differences in surface hardness and abrasive resistance(P<.05). 2. In the abrasive resistance test, there were no significant differences between GC FUJIROCK(R) EP and MG Crystal Rock with or without 2 die hardener(P<.05). 3. Super plumstone treated with Stone die & plaster hardener showed increased wear loss(P<.05). 4. Die hardener coatings used in this study decreased the surface hardness of the gypsum material(P<.05).
