Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the dental and periodontal health status of patients on regular hemodialysis (HD) maintenance therapy, and the effect of duration of HD on oral status. STUDY DESIGN: Sixty-eight HD patients and 41 controls were examined. Decayed, Missing or Filled Teeth (DMFT index), plague index (PI), gingival index (GI), Probing pocket depth (PPD) and loss of periodontal attachment (LPA) were examined. RESULTS: Except DMFT index, significant differences were found in the other index values between patients and controls (P < 0.01). Dialysis duration significantly correlated not with DMFT but with the others. Also, DMFT values showed no significant differences between the five HD subgroups. For the PI, GI and PPD values, the first 5-year period revealed no significant variation, whereas the second 5-year period included significant increases. After 10 years, a much more significant increase was observed. The LPA values did not show any significant differences between the HD subgroups, but after 10 years a significant progressive increase can be observed. CONCLUSIONS: The dental and periodontal health is poor in HD patients and becomes worse with time on dialysis. Thus, oral health maintenance is of utmost importance in this patient group.

Abstract
In the United States, cigarette use is the leading cause of preventable death, and most adult smokers started before the age of 18 years. Nicotine dependence maintains tobacco use and makes quitting difficult. Despite their relatively short smoking histories, many adolescents who smoke are nicotine dependent, and such dependence can lead to daily smoking. To examine the extent to which high school students had tried to quit smoking cigarettes, CDC analyzed data from the 2007 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), a nationally representative survey of students in grades 9-12 in the United States. This report describes the results of that analysis, which found that 60.9% of students who ever smoked cigarettes daily tried to quit smoking cigarettes, and 12.2% were successful. These findings indicate that comprehensive tobacco control programs need to continue to implement community-based interventions that prevent initiation and increase cessation and increase the use of evidence-based cessation strategies for youths.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Adenocarcinomas of the esophagus and adenocarcinomas of the gastroesophageal junction are postulated to be complex genetic diseases. Combined influences of environmental factors and genetic susceptibility likely influence the age at which these cancers develop. The aim of this study was to determine whether familiality and other recognized risk factors are associated with the development of these cancers at an earlier age. METHODS: A structured validated questionnaire was utilized to collect self-reported data on gastro-esophageal reflux symptoms, risk factors for Barrett's esophagus (BE) and family history, including age of cancer diagnosis in affected relatives from probands with BE, adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, or adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction, at five tertiary care academic hospitals. Medical records of all relatives reported to be affected were requested from hospitals providing this cancer care to confirm family histories. Familiality of BE/cancer, obesity (defined as body mass index >30), gastroesophageal reflux symptoms, and other risk factors were assessed for association with a young age of cancer diagnosis. RESULTS: A total of 356, 216 non-familial and 140 familial, cancers were studied. The study population consisted of 292 (82%) men and 64 (18%) women. Mean age of cancer diagnosis was no different in a comparison of familial and non-familial cancers, 62.6 vs. 61.9 years, P=0.70. There were also no significant differences in symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux, body mass index, race, gender, and smoking history between familial and non-familial cancers. Mean age of cancer diagnosis was significantly younger in those who were obese 1 year before diagnosis as compared to those who were non-obese, mean age 58.99 vs. 63.6 years, P=0.008. Multivariable modeling of age at cancer diagnosis showed that obesity 1 year before diagnosis was associated with a younger age of cancer diagnosis (P=0.005) after adjustment for heartburn and regurgitation duration. CONCLUSIONS: Obesity is associated with the development of esophageal and gastroesophageal junctional adenocarcinomas at an earlier age. Familial cancers arise at the same age as non-familial cancers and have a similar risk factor profile.

Abstract
Fu-tsai and suan-tsai are spontaneously fermented mustard products traditionally prepared by the Hakka tribe of Taiwan. We chose 5 different processing stages of these products for analysis of the microbial community of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. From 500 LAB isolates we identified 119 representative strains belonging to 5 genera and 18 species, including Enterococcus (1 species), Lactobacillus (11 species), Leuconostoc (3 species), Pediococcus (1 species), and Weissella (2 species). The LAB composition of mustard fermented for 3 days, known as the Mu sample, was the most diverse, with 11 different LAB species being isolated. We used sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene to identify the LAB strains and analysis of the dnaA, pheS, and rpoA genes to identify 13 LAB strains for which identification by 16S rRNA gene sequences was not possible. These 13 strains were found to belong to 5 validated known species: Lactobacillus farciminis, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides, Weissella cibaria, and Weissella paramesenteroides, and 5 possibly novel Lactobacillus species. These results revealed that there is a high level of diversity in LAB at the different stages of fermentation in the production of suan-tsai and fu-tsai.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dentin bond strength to resin composite following erbium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Er:YAG) laser preparation using different adhesive systems. Seventy dentin specimens prepared from human molar teeth were randomly assigned to seven groups of ten. The first five groups were prepared with an Er:YAG laser 2940 nm at the manufacturer's recommended settings and (1) acid etched, and etch-and-rinse adhesive Excite was applied; (2) Excite was applied; (3) two-step self-etching adhesive AdheSE was applied; (4) laser etched (120 mJ/10 Hz), and Excite was applied; (5) laser etched, and AdheSE was applied. The last two groups were added as controls (prepared with a diamond bur): (6) acid etched, and Excite was applied; (7) AdheSE was applied. Nanohybrid composite cylinders 4 mm x 2 mm were bonded to the dentin surfaces. After the specimens had been stored in distilled water and had undergone thermocycling, the shear bond strength was tested and the data were analyzed statistically. The Duncan multiple comparison test showed that specimens prepared with a diamond bur and with acid and Excite applied showed the highest mean bond strength (13.01 +/- 2.09 MPa), followed by those prepared with Er:YAG and with AdheSE applied (11.5 +/- 3.59 MPa) and those prepared with a diamond bur and with AdheSE applied (10.75 +/- 1.95 MPa), but there were no significant differences among them (P > 0.05). Er:YAG-prepared specimens, with acid, Excite (3.28 +/- 0.95 MPa) and specimens that were laser etched and with AdheSE applied (3.37 +/- 0.63 MPa) showed the lowest mean values for bond strength (P < 0.05). The results suggested that dentin surfaces prepared with Er:YAG laser may provide comparable composite resin bond strengths depending on the adhesives used.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine the reference values of the fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) among healthy, non-smoking male adults and its correlation with age, height, weight, and body mass index (BMI). METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Departments of Physiology and Medicine, College of Medicine and King Khalid University Hospital, King Saud University, Riyadh, from September 2007 to August 2008 on healthy non-atopic, non-smoking male Saudi subjects. The FENO was measured online using the single-breath technique according to recent guidelines of the American Thoracic Society (ATS). RESULTS: We studied 121 subjects with a mean age of 31.00 +/- 12.24 years, BMI of 27.23 +/- 6.64, and FEV1/FVC 85% (81-92%). The FENO ranged between 7.66 parts per billion (ppb) and 46.6 ppb (mean 22.79 +/- 8.13), with >84% of subjects recording levels 95% with levels <40 ppb. The FENO negatively correlated with body weight (r=0.3888, p=0.001) and BMI (r=0.238, p=0.009). No correlation was observed between FENO, FEV1/FVC ratio, age, and height. CONCLUSION: The reference values of FENO for non-smoking, non-atopic male Saudi adults fall between 7.66 and 46.6 ppb (mean 22.79 +/- 8.13), similar to other populations. The FENO negatively correlates with body weight and BMI.
