Purpose This study seeks to fill a gap by investigating the moderating effects of LOC on each model path across internals and externals. Design/methodology/approach The sample comprised 242 professional staff wide range departments large organization in metropolitan Taipei, Taiwan. Following data collection, structural equation modeling is applied conduct analysis for confirmatory factor analysis. Findings Test results indicate that global job satisfaction influences turnover intentions...
Abstract The goal of this study was to assess the incorporation exudates human platelet‐rich fibrin (hPRF) that is abundant in platelet cytokines and growth factors into biodegradable (FB) scaffolds as a regeneration matrix for promoting chondrocyte proliferation re‐differentiation. hPRF obtained from blood by centrifugation without an anticoagulant, exudate collected mixed with bovine fibrinogen, then thrombin added form FB scaffold. Proliferation differentiation primary chondrocytes...
In this research, negative-charge carbon dots (CDs) were synthesized in one-step using a microwave and found to have potential antibacterial ability against multi-drug resistant bacteria. The CDs by citric acid urea as precursors, characterized FT-IR, TEM fluorescence spectrophotometry. average size of was about 2.5 nm, the ζ -11.06 mV. following activity test, time-killing curve experiments colony-forming assay carried out determine minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) inhibitory (MIC)...
Peri-implantitis is defined as a bacterial infection-induced inflammation and suppuration of soft hard tissues surrounding dental implant. If bacteria further invade the alveolar bone, they can easily cause bone loss even lead to early failure implant surgery. In present study, an 80SiO2-15CaO-5P2O5 mesoporous bioactive glass film system containing 1, 5, 10 mol% silver was prepared on titanium discs (MBG-Ag-coated Ti) using sol-gel spin coating methods. The wettability adhesion strength...
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is one of the most commonly used materials for coating bioceramic titanium (Ti) alloys. However, HA has poor mechanical properties and a low bonding strength. Accordingly, present study replaces with composite material consisting fluorapatite (FA) 20 wt % yttria (3 mol %) stabilized zirconia (ZrO₂, 3Y-TZP). The FA/ZrO₂ coatings are deposited on Ti6Al4V substrates using Nd:YAG laser cladding system powers travel speeds 400 W/200 mm/min, 800 W/400 1200 W/600 respectively....
The micro-arc oxidation (MAO) process was used to prepare hydroxyapatite-containing flower-like structure coatings on commercially pure titanium substrates with various values of the applied voltage (330, 390, 450 V), current (0.4, 0.5, 0.6 A), and duration time (1, 3, 5 min). It found that surface morphology determined primarily by voltage. A 330 V yielded a flower-like/plate-like structure, while voltages 390 produced porous morphology, respectively. mainly affected coating formation speed...
Background Autologous bone dust can be filled in defects to promote effective healing but typically it is lost when using suction during surgery. The aim of this study was develop a novel collector that used collect chips/dust varying sizes without changing current surgical procedures.
Wheelchairs are an essential assistive device for many individuals with injury or disability. Manual wheelchairs provide a relatively low-cost solution to the mobility needs of such individuals. Furthermore, they effective means improving user's cardiopulmonary function and upper-limb muscle strength. However, manual have loss gross mechanical efficiency, thus risk user fatigue is increased. Electric-powered reduce more convenient transportation. large physical size expensive. Accordingly,...
Pinocembrin is the most abundant flavonoid in propolis. In this study, we investigated antimetastatic effect of pinocembrin on TGF-β1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis human Y-79 retinoblastoma cells. Firstly, results showed that significantly suppresses abilities invasion migration cells under non-cytotoxic concentration. decreased expression vimentin, N-cadherin, αv β3 integrin Molecular data also inhibits activation focal adhesion kinase (FAK) p38α signal...
