Liquid I, Oral dragee candy I and Trivalent Oral dragee candy, on the susceptible children of 2-6 month of age was conducted in wujin County, Jiangsu Province The study showed no statistical difference between the responses to the three forms of the vaccine reaching 95-100%. For antibody GMT, Liquid I was the highest, with little difference between Liquid I and Oral dragee candy I and Trivalent Oral dragee candy vaccine in statistics. But, there was a significant statistical difference between Trivalent Oral dragee candy and Liquid I.

Objectives: Sensory information provided by the periodontal mechanoreceptors (PMRs) is used by the nervous system to optimize the positioning of food, force levels, and force vectors involved in biting. The aim of this study was to describe motor performance during a novel manipulation-and-split task and to assess the extent to which control of this performance involves information from the PMRs.
Materials And Methods: A total of 10 subjects with natural teeth, 10 with bimaxillary tooth-supported fixed prostheses (TSP) and 10 with bimaxillary implant-supported fixed prostheses (ISP) (61-83 [mean 69] years of age) were asked to perform an intraoral manipulation-and-split task that involved positioning a spherical chocolate dragée between the front teeth and then splitting it into two parts of equal size.

Objective: To determine the most effective of four oral treatments for hypoglycemia in children with type 1 diabetes using a weight-based protocol during diabetes camp.
Methods: During diabetes camp treatment of hypoglycemia was randomized to one of the four treatments, randomly assigned for each episode using a sealed envelope: glucose tablets, jellybeans, orange juice, and sugar mints (Mentos dragees®). An equivalent carbohydrate dose was calculated for each patient for each treatment (0.
