OBJECTIVEThis study aims to determine the effect of fluoride concentration on the corrosion behavior of cobalt-chromium alloy fabricated by two different technology processes in a simulated oral environment.
METHODSA total of 15 specimens were employed with selective laser melting (SLM) and another 15 for traditional casting (Cast) in cobalt-chromium alloy powders and blocks with the same material composition. The corrosion behavior of the specimens was studied by potentiodynamic polarization test under different oral environments with varying solubilities of fluorine (0, 0.05%, and 0.20% for each) in acid artificial saliva (pH = 5.0). The specimens were soaked in fluorine for 24 h, and the surface microstructure was observed under a field emission scanning electron microscope after immersing the specimens in the test solution at constant temperature.
RESULTSThe corrosion potential (Ecorr) value of the cobalt-chromium alloy cast decreased with increasing fluoride concentration in acidic artificial saliva. The Ecorr, Icorr, and Rp values of the cobalt-chromium alloy fabricated by two different technology processes changed significantly when the fluoride concentration was 0.20% (P < 0.05). The Ecorr, Icorr, and Rp values of the cobalt-chromium alloy fabricated by two different technology processes exhibited a statistically significant difference. The Icorr value of the cobalt-chromium alloy cast was higher than that in the SLM group cobalt-chromium alloy when the fluoride concentration was 0.20% (P < 0.05). The Ecorr, tRp alues of the cobalt-chromium alloy cast were lower htan those of the SLM group cobalt-chromium alloy when the fluoride concentration was 0.20% (P< 0 .05).
CONCLUSIONFluoride ions adversely affected the corrosion resistance of the cobalt-chromium alloy fabricated by two different technology processes. The corrosion resistance of the cobalt-chromium alloy cast was worse than that of the SLM group cobalt-chromium alloy when the fluoride concentration was 0.20%.

Background:It was demonstrated that vitamin D has extensive biological effects,and evidence exists on association between vitamin D and a variety of immune mediated diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease. Aims:To investigate the relationship between serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D(25OHD)and disease activity and quality of life in patients with ulcerative colitis( UC). Methods:Serum level of 25OHD was detected by electrochemiluminescence in 50 outpatients/inpatients with UC from Oct. 2015 to Mar. 2016 at the Anhui Provincial Hospital;35 healthy subjects were served as normal controls. CRP,ESR and PLT were determined by routine laboratory tests in UC patients. Disease activity of UC was assessed by improved Mayo score,and Chinese version IBD questionnaire( IBDQ)was employed to assess quality of life. Results:Vitamin D deficiency defined as serum 25OHD ﹤20 ng/mL was detected in 68. 0% of the UC patients. The mean value of serum 25OHD was significantly lower in UC group than in normal control group[(16. 73 ± 8. 83)ng/mL vs.(19. 84 ± 4. 56)ng/mL,P﹤0. 05]. When patients were stratified with disease activity,serum level of 25OHD decreased in the order of remission,mild,moderate and severe active stage(P ﹤0. 05). In UC patients with vitamin D deficiency,the value of CRP,ESR and PLT were significantly increased(P all ﹤0. 05)and the overall score of IBDQ and scores of four dimensions of IBDQ referring to bowel symptom,systemic symptom,emotional function and social function were significantly decreased(P all ﹤0. 05). Spearman and Pearson correlation coefficients analyses showed that serum level of 25OHD was negatively correlated with Mayo score,CRP,ESR and PLT(P all ﹤0. 05),and positively correlated with scores of IBDQ,including overall score and four dimensional scores in UC group( P all ﹤0. 05 ). Conclusions:Vitamin D deficiency occurs frequently in patients with UC and might have a negative impact on disease activity and quality of life.
