Background: The effect of ambient PM2.5 on the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) has been investigated in epidemiological studies. However, they did not separately study new and relapsed TB infection and focused on relatively short-term effects of PM2.5. In this regard, we examined the associations of long-term PM2.5 exposures with both new and relapsed TB incidences in South Korea, where the disease burden of TB is greatest among high-income countries.Methods: An area-level ecological study of 250 districts was conducted from 2015 to 2019. Age- and sex-standardized TB incidence ratios for each district and year were used as outcome variables, and their associations with PM2.5 concentrations for one to five-year average were examined. Negative binomial regression models incorporating spatiotemporal autocorrelation were employed using integrated nested Laplace approximations. Stratified analyses were conducted by type of TB (total, new, and relapsed cases).Results: Districts with higher PM2.5 concentrations tended to have significantly higher TB recurrence rate. The relative risks per 10 µg/m3 PM2.5 increase were 1.218 (95% credible interval 1.051–1.411), 1.260 (1.039–1.527) and 1.473 (1.015–2.137) using the two, three and five-year average PM2.5 exposures, respectively.Conclusions: The results imply that interventions for reducing air pollution might help prevent TB recurrence.

A 3-year-old French bulldog presented for evaluation of recurrent swelling and a fistula on the right cheek after a dog fight. A large volume of serous fluids was identified on the wound immediately after atropine drops. A diagnosis of parotid salivary duct rupture secondary to trauma was made. On surgical exploration, the thickened proximal segment of the severed duct was identified and circumferentially double ligated with 3-0 silk. No evidence of swelling and normal appearance of the parotid salivary gland was identified 4 months postoperative recheck. No further problems were noted 10 months postoperatively phone-call. To the author’s knowledge, this is the first reported case of successful proximal parotid duct ligation of parotid salivary duct rupture secondary to non-iatrogenic trauma.

The effect of the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) treatment on the hybrid layer durability of total-etch dentin adhesives was investigated. A flat dentin surface was exposed and treated with 37% phosphoric acid or 0.1M EDTA. Dentin adhesive was applied and a 4 mm thick composite resin was built-up. Twenty 0.9×0.9 mm2 resin-dentin beams were fabricated in each experimental group. Artificial aging with 10% NaClO was performed in half of the experimental groups for 1 hour. A micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) test was performed and the bonded interface was analyzed with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The 37% phosphoric acid-treated group showed a lower μTBS after artificial aging, whereas the 0.1M EDTA-treated group did not. TEM analysis revealed collagen fibrils dissolved in the 37% phosphoric acid-treated group but not in the 0.1M EDTA-treated group. Undissolved minerals were observed in the 0.1M EDTA-treated group. In conclusion, a dentin treatment with 0.1M EDTA is effective in improving the hybrid layer durability.
