    Abstract Biotechnological techniques are nowadays in use of the breeders to improve and quicken the production of new plant cultivars with desired characteristics. Among these techniques, anther and isolated microspore culture were used successfully in breeding programs in many plant species (e.g. wheat, barley, and tobacco). Anther culture is usually used for haploid production, but it may also have potential for developing plants with various ploidy levels which can be used in plant breeding program...

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the effects of sterilization, conditioning method, and thermal aging on the retentive strength of two-piece zirconia abutments.
    Materials and methods: In total, 128 stock zirconia abutments were divided into four groups (n = 32) according to the conditioning parameters: (A) air-abrasion using 50 μm alumina particles/1.0 bar, (B) 50 μm/2.0 bar, (C) 100 μm/1.0 bar, and (D) 100 μm/2.0 bar. All abutments were bonded onto titanium bases using DTK adhesive resin and stored in water bath (37°C) for 72 h. Each group was subdivided into two subgroups (n = 16), group 1 was disinfected, whereas group 2 followed disinfection and autoclave sterilization. Half of the specimens of each subgroup (n = 8) was directly subjected to the axial retention test (groups N), while the other half was first subjected to 150 days of thermocycling followed by retention test (groups T). Statistical analysis was performed with three-way ANOVA, additional statistical analysis was performed by using separate one-way ANOVAs followed by the Tukey's post-hoc test for post hoc pairwise comparisons among groups.
    Results: The highest median retention strength was recorded for group B2N (1390 N), whereas the lowest strength was recorded for group C1T (688 N). No significant interaction (p ≥ 0.05) was detected between the different variables; conditioning method, sterilization, and the thermal cycling regarding the effect on the resulting retention. However, the sterilization always showed a positive effect. Thermocycling presented an adversely significant effect only in the absence of sterilization (p < 0.05), with the exception of subgroups A. For the sterilized groups, thermocycling had no statistically significant effect on the retention.
    Conclusion: Steam autoclaving increased the retention of hybrid zirconia abutments. DTK adhesive resin for two-piece zirconia abutments performed well after sterilization and thermocycling.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this case report was to present a minimally invasive and esthetic treatment approach for the replacement of missing teeth removable partial dentures retained by zirconia ceramic resin-bonded attachments.
    Method and materials: The resin-bonded attachments were digitally designed and milled using CAD/CAM technology from monolithic 3Y-TZP zirconia ceramic. The resin-bonded attachments had an optimized attachment design approved for zirconia ceramic. The preparation was based on general preparation guidelines for resin-bonded attachments and resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs). After placement of rubber dam, the resin-bonded attachments were bonded with a phosphate monomer-containing luting resin.
    Results: The presented resin-bonded attachment-retained removable partial denture was successful over 30 months of clinical observation without any complications. The patient was satisfied with the minimally invasive treatment procedure.
    Conclusion: Zirconia ceramic resin-bonded attachments fabricated with a special attachment design are an esthetic and minimally invasive treatment approach. However, clinical data on the long-term outcome of zirconia resin-bonded attachments are still needed. (Quintessence Int 2023;54:220-226; doi: 10.3290/j.qi.b3819523).

    Abstract Statement of problem: Scientific data on the decontamination effectiveness of a newly introduced cleaning agent are lacking.
    Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate and compare the tensile bond strength (TBS) of 3 different restorative bonding surfaces after contamination with saliva following different cleaning protocols.
    Material and methods: A total of 192 disk specimens were made out of 3 materials (n=64); Katana Avencia (A), Katana Zirconia (Z), and e.max CAD (L). The bonding surfaces of all disks were polished, steam cleaned, and then pretreated by following the recommended protocol for each material. The specimens of each group were divided into 4 subgroups (n=16). The first subgroup served as the reference (R), where no contamination was applied. The 3 other subgroups were contaminated with saliva and subsequently rinsed with water for 20 seconds and dried with oil- and water-free air spray. They were then either not treated with any cleaning method (0), cleaned with Katana Cleaner (K), or cleaned with Ivoclean (I). The bonding surfaces of the specimens were perpendicularly luted to plexiglass tubes filled with dual-polymerizing composite resin (Clearfil DC Core) with resin cement (Panavia V5) after the recommended surface conditioning. Each subgroup was further subdivided into 2 groups: stored in 37 °C water for 3 days or subjected to thermal-cyclic loading for 150 days with 37 500 thermal cycles (7500 per month), temperature 5 to 55 °C, and dwell time of 30 seconds. All specimens were subjected to TBS testing in a universal testing machine. Three-way ANOVA was applied. A significant interaction (P<.01) was detected between the 3 different variables (material, treatment, aging). After significant interactions had been revealed by 3-way ANOVA, additional statistical analysis was performed by using separate 2-way ANOVAs, then separate 1-way ANOVAs followed by the Tukey-HSD test for post hoc pairwise comparisons among groups (α=.05 for all tests). All specimens underwent failure mode analysis after TBS testing RESULTS: All specimens survived the storage with thermocycling except for group Z-0, where all specimens debonded during thermocycling. The mean ±standard deviation TBS values ranged from 18.3 ±5.3 MPa to 34.0 ±5.4 MPa after 3 days and from 6.7 ±5.5 MPa to 26.9 ±5.4 MPa after 150 days.
    Conclusions: Contaminated groups that did not receive any cleaning had significantly lower TBS. Thermocycling had a negative effect on the TBS but was not statistically significant for all groups. Using the same cleaning method, the restorative material did had a significant effect on the TBS after 150 days.

    Abstract Klebsiella pneumoniae is a Gram-negative bacterium that colonizes the gastrointestinal tract and nasopharynx with many being linked to nosocomial infections. Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL)-producing and carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a critical public health concern. In this study, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) - based analysis was performed to understand the molecular epidemiology of multi-drug resistant Klebsiella spp. clinical isolates. Genome comparison, multi-locus sequence typing (MLST), pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and whole-genome-SNP-based phylogenetic analysis (wg-SNP) were used for in-depth molecular characterization. in silico typing was used to determine the resistance genes, virulence factors, Inc. groups, and capsular types. All except one isolate were non-susceptible to meropenem and 89% were non-susceptible to ertapenem and imipenem. bla
