The sentences
This result is consistent with the report that the cell proliferation of HUVECs peaked on day 4 of culture and showed a decreasing trend on day 7 of culture in the MTA-soaked 1-day sample. 18 MTA has been shown to become highly alkaline at 3 h after kneading. 28 Although there is no report showing a relationship between high alkalinity and suppression of vascular endothelial cell proliferation, it is possible that the high pH value in the early stage of curing may affect proliferation.
