OBJECTIVETo deposit silver nanoparticles on a titanium surface to obtain antibacterial properties. To reduce the incidence of peri-implantitis, and improve the success rate of implantation.

METHODSA silver nanoparticle-modified titanium (Ti-nAg) surface was prepared using silanization method, and its surface was characterized by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX). Two species of bacteria, namely, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, were used to test the antibacterial effect of Ti-nAg surface.

RESULTSScanning electron microscope (SEM) revealed that a small quantity of silver nanoparticles were deposited on the titanium surface. XPS analyses revealed that 6.8% of silver was present on the titanium surface. After 24 h of incubation, 94.23% of Staphylococcus aureus and 95.34% of Escherichia coli were killed on the Ti-nAg surface.

CONCLUSIONResults suggest that silver nanoparticle-modified titanium is a promising material with an antibacterial property that may be used as an implantable biomaterial.

Objective To discuss the epidural cavity surgical anatomical physiology under fiber optic epidural catheter, and to analyze the technological advantages compared to the the agent under blind. Methods 60 cases who need to epidural abdominal surgery from Jan. to Nov. 2013 were collected. Common duct (30 cases) and fiber optical epidural catheter (30 cases) were respectively used at anesthesia, and the epidural cavity surgical anatomy physiology were observed. Results Compared with indexs before anesthesia, before induction and before intubation, the HR, SPB, and MAP in 5 min after intubation and at the moment of skin incision were of statistically significant differ-ences (P<0. 05). There is a cavity between epidural space and vertebral canal periosteum which is not linked to cranial cavity, but there were a certain amount of connective tissue and venous plexus. The volume of the cavity was about 100 mL, the front and side were narrow and the back was wide, and it began to gradually expand from the neck, and reached its peak at the waist, and then gradually narrowed, un-til the sacral hiatus. Conclusion Fiber optic epidural catheter could make the patient’ s anatomy physiology structure more clear, and it also make it possible to cathetering visually for the anesthesiologist.

Objective To analyze tumor-free survival rate and recurrence rate of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) versus surgical resection(SR) for small hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods Clinical data of 64 patients (hospitalized from October 2008 to October 2010) with small hepatocellular carcinoma(≤ 5 cm) in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. 29 cases among them underwent RFA, and the 35 cases underwent SR, then they were further divided into two groups according to the tumor diameter (≤ 3 cm vs. ≤ 3 ~ 5 cm). The rate of complete elimination of tumor , complications , recurrence and metastasis , and survival rate out of tumor-free at year 1, 3, and 5 were compared. Accumulated survival rate of the two groups at year 1, 3, and 5 were compared. Results The rate of complete elimination of tumor, and complications in the RFA group were 89.66% and 6.9% respectively, and no statistically significant difference was found compared with the SR group (100% and 14.29%, respectively) . The rate of recurrence and metastasis and 1, 3, 5- year tumor-free rate in RFA and SR group with tumor diameter < 3 cm were 60.00%, 80.00%, 40.00%, 30.00% and 38.46%, 84.62%, 61.54%, 38.46% (P > 0.05) respectively, and for the cases with tumor diameter in 3 ~ 5 cm, these data showed no significant difference between groups (P > 0.05). No significant difference were found in tumor-free survival rate within groups, while rate of recurrence and metastasis was significantly lower in the < 3 cm group (P < 0.05). The accumulated survival rate in RFA at year 1, 3 and 5 were 100%, 62.07%, 37.93% and 100%, 62.86%, 48.57% in SR group (P > 0.05). Conclusions RFA and SR had similar medium and long term clinical effect for small hepatocellular carcinoma with tumor diameter≤ 5 cm. The larger in size of the tumor, the higher rate of recurrence and metastasis. RFA is less invasive and can avoid complications and should be considered an eligible treatment for small hepatocellular carcinoma with tumor diameter ≤ 5 cm.
