Application of 4-Meta Adhesive Resin to the Occlusal Surface During Surgery Facilitates Postoperative Occlusal Management.

Purpose: Orthognathic surgery is generally used to correct facial deformities and establish functional occlusion. Preoperative orthodontic treatment is important for stabilizing and establishing the postoperative occlusion. However, sufficient preoperative surgical orthodontic treatment might be sometimes difficult in patients with an abnormally shaped maxilla or mandible or severe jaw deformity.

Ingestion of food pellets containing Escherichia coli overexpressing the heat-shock protein DnaK protects Penaeus vannamei (Boone) against Vibrio harveyi (Baumann) infection.

Feeding aquatic animals with bacterial encapsulated heat-shock proteins (Hsps) is potentially a new method to combat vibriosis, an important disease affecting aquatic animals used in aquaculture. Food pellets comprised of shrimp and containing Escherichia coli overexpressing either DnaK-DnaJ-GrpE, the prokaryotic equivalents of Hsp70-Hsp40-Hsp20, or only DnaK were fed to juveniles of the white leg shrimp Penaeus vannamei, and protection against pathogenic Vibrio harveyi was determined. Maintaining pellets at different temperatures for varying lengths of time reduced the number of live adhering E.
