Figure 1. SDH activity of THP-1 monocytes exposed to HEMA and TEGDMA for 7 hrs and measured by the MTT method, with (open circles) and without (solid circles) heat stress at 43°C for 1 hr. Upper-case letters indicate statistical comparisons between concentrations within the no-heat group (ANOVA, Tukey, = 0.05). Lower-case letters show statistical comparisons among the heat-stressed groups. Heat-stressed vs. unstressed controls at the highest concentrations of HEMA and TEGDMA exposure were statistically different (two-tailed t test, p = 10-10 for HEMA, 10-7 for TEGDMA).

Figure 2. HSP72 expression shown in a typical SDS-PAGE gel and Western blotting for TEGDMA with and without 1 hr of heat stress and recovery for 2, 4, or 6 hrs. The expression of HSP72 with silver stain is denoted on the gel (arrow), and the Western blot of HSP72 is shown at the bottom.

Figure 3. HSP72 expression after HEMA and TEGDMA exposure as a percentage of the six-hour, no-resin controls (arbitrarily set to 100%). Cells were heat-stressed for 1 hr, followed by 2, 4, or 6 hrs of recovery. The letter D indicates a statistical comparison among the heat-stressed groups with six-hour recovery and various resin concentrations. Lower-case letters denote a statistical difference from the no-resin (upper-case) control (ANOVA, Dunnett's, = 0.05). The letter C compares the four-hour recovery groups at various resin concentrations, whereas B compares two-hour recovery, and A compares the no-heat-stress groups.
