The influence of temperature, chloride ions and sulfide ions on the anticorrosion behavior of 316L stainless steel in simulated cooling water was studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and anodic polarization curves. The results show that the film resistance increases with the solution temperature but decreases after 8 days' immersion, which indicates that the film formed at higher temperature has inferior anticorrosion behavior; Chloride ions and sulfide ions have remarkable effects on the electrochemical property of 316L stainless steel in simulated cooling water and the pitting potential declines with the concentration of chloride ions; the passivation current has no obvious effect; the rise of the concentration of sulfide ions obviously increases the passivation current, but the pitting potential changes little, which indicates that the two types of ions may have different effects on destructing passive film of stainless steel. The critical concentration of chloride ions causing anodic potential curve's change in simulated cooling water is 250 mg/L for 316 L stainless. The effect of sulfide ions on the corrosion resistance behavior of stainless steel is increasing the passivation current density Ip. The addition of 6mg/L sulfide ions to the solution makes Ip of 316 L increase by 0.5 times.

Objective To study the efficacy of comprehensive treatment for type ⅢA prostatitis.Methods One hundred and eighty-four patients with type Ⅲ A prostatitis, recruited to this study, were comprehensively treated for 8 - 12 weeks by oral antibiotics and α-1 receptor antagonist,indometacin suppository applied into rectal, prostate massage and psychological counseling. The clinical effects of the treatment were evaluated according to the NIH chronic prostatitis symptom index (NIH-CPSI) and leukocyte counts in the expressed prostatic secretions ( EPS ). Results Before and after the treatment, the NIH-CPSI scores were 28. 6 ± 6. 5 and 12. 9 ± 3. 8 ( t = 28. 3, P < 0. 05 ); the pain or discomfort scores were 14. 1 ± 3. 3 and 6. 4 ± 2.2( t = 26. 3, P < 0. 05 ), the urinary symptoms scores were 5.6 ± 1.8 and 2. 1 ± 0. 9 ( t = 23.6, P < 0. 05 ), the scores of life quality were 8.9 ± 3. 1 and 4. 4 ± 2.4 ( t = 15.6, P < 0. 05 ), the leukocyte counts were ( 24. 5 ±4. 4)/HP and ( 6. 2 ± 2. 7 )/HP ( t = 48.1, P < 0. 05 ) respectively, all comparisons showed significantly differences. Seventy-nine cases recovered completely, 57 cases recovered excellently, 36 cases recovered effectively and 12 cases did not recover, the overall effective rate was 93.5%. Conclusion Comprehensive treatment is an effective method for type Ⅲ A prostatitis.
