RESUMO
RESUMEN Objetivo: Analizar el efecto del microgranallado superficial como tratamiento experimental de regeneración, en la resistencia flexural y esfuerzos residuales de una Zirconia Y-TZP, una vez ha sido alterada con otros tratamientos mecánicos como microarenado y fresado. Métodos: Un total de 75 probetas de Zirconia Y-TZP fueron divididas en cinco grupos n=15 y sometidas a tratamientos de superficie así: fresado y microarenado (Grupos 2 y 4) microarenado + microgranallado y fresado + microgranallado (Grupos 3 y 5), y comparadas con un grupo control (Grupo 1), mediante Difracción de Rayos X (DRX), Microscopía electrónica de barrido (SEM), Microscopía confocal (CLSM) y sometida a falla en máquina universal de ensayos. Resultados: Los grupos de microgranallado y microarenado presentaron un aumento significativo de la resistencia flexural p=0.0082 con relación al grupo de fresado. Las mediciones mediante DRX no mostraron relación estadística con los cambios en la resistencia flexural. Significancia: Es posible que el microgranallado se considere un tratamiento para regenerar las propiedades mecánicas reducidas por fresado o arenado en la Zirconia Y-TZP.
ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the effect of surface micro shot peening as an experimental regeneration treatment on the flexural strength and residual stresses of a Y-TZP Zirconia, once it has been altered with other mechanical treatments such as micro sandblasting and milling. Methods: A total of 75 Zirconia Y-TZP specimens were divided into five n = 15 groups and subjected to surface treatments such as: milling and micro sandblasting (Groups 2 and 4) micro sandblasting + micro shot peening; and milling + micro shot peening (Groups 3 and 5), compared to a control group (Group 1), by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confocal microscopy (CLSM) and subjected to failure in a universal testing machine. All the results were compared to find a statistical relationship between them using a mixed linear model and Tuckey. Results: The groups of micro shot peening and micro sandblasting presented a significant increase of the flexural strength p = 0.0082 vs the milling group. The XRD technique is not related to flexural strength measurements. Significance: It is possible that the micro shot peening be considered a treatment to regenerate the mechanical properties reduced by milling or sandblasting in Zirconia Y-TZP.
RESUMO
Associations between HLA class II polymorphisms and HIV control were assessed in a Peruvian MSM cohort. Among 233 treatment naïve HIV+ individuals, DRB1*13:02 was linked to elevated viral loads (P = .044) while DRB1*12:01 showed significantly lower viral set points (P = .015) and restricted a dominant T cell response to HIV Gag p24 (P = .038). The present work contributes to a better knowledge of the Peruvian immunogenetics and supports the important role of HLA class II restricted T cells in HIV control.
