Photo-curing hyaluronic acid-Janus antibacterial packs as O2 generator precisely modulate the infectious microenvironment for antibiotic-free periodontal therapy by Runxiu Wei, Gaojie Li, Yuying Huang, Linjing Mi, Jiamin Wu, Huan Huang, Na Yin, Yuling Chen, Qiang Yang, Wenjun Zhang, Bingzhi Sun, Ran Sun, Ling Guo, Min Feng

“…In vitro studies showed that the antibacterial packs gradually released lauric acid and oxygen over 7 days, exhibiting significant anti-biofilm effects against both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. Notably, animal experiments confirmed that H-Janus antibacterial packs markedly improved the clinical scores in rats with periodontitis by inhibiting bacterial growth, alleviating inflammation, and fostering the regeneration of periodontal tissues. …”

2020 Cool-Season Forage Variety Recommendations for Florida by A. R. Blount, M. Wallau, E. Rios, J. M. B. Vendramini, J. C. B. Dubeux, Md. A. Babar, K. E. Kenworthy, M. J. Mulvaney, K. H. Quesenberry

“…These plants are usually higher in total digestible nutrients (TDN) and crude protein (CP) than summer perennial grasses, translating into greater animal performance (Dubeux et al., 2016). Planting and growing these forage crops can involve considerable expense and is somewhat risky because rainfall is often unpredictable during the fall establishment period. …”
