Objective:To study effects of the cooling rate on the bonding characteristics of titanium porcelain bonded to cast titanium.Methods:According to ISO 9693,24 cast titanium plates(25 mm?3 mm?0.5 mm)were prepared.The middle of the samples(8 mm?3 mm) were bonded with bonding porcelain,opaque porcelain and dentin porcelain.The specimens from each porcelain-metal combination group were randomly assigned into four experimental cooling rate conditions,namely cooling rate of 15,40,50 and 100 ℃/min.A three-point-flexure-test was used to evaluate the bonding strength of titanium porcelain bonded to cast pure titanium.SEM/EDS were taken to characterize the failed surface of the titanium-porcelain interface.Statistical analyses were made by one-way analysis of variance(ANOVA).Results:The bonding strength of 15 ℃/min group was significantly higher than other groups.There were no significant differences in bond strength between 40 ℃/min and 50 ℃/min groups.SEM/EDS revealed that with an increase cooling rate,the remained porcelains on the titanium side were decreased.Conclusion:The 15 ℃/min cooling rate might be an effective method to improve the titanium-porcelain bonding strength.

Objective To investigate the adverse reactions induced by statins when combined with other drugs and its influencing factors,so as to provide reference for clinical rational drug use.Methods The clinical data of 78 patients with adverse reactions caused by statins combined with other drugs in our hospital from June 2011 to June 2016 were reviewed and analyzed.Results The adverse reactions of the 78 cases of patients were manifested as muscle toxicity,liver toxicity,digestive discomfort,respiratory discomfort,et al; Inwhich muscle toxicity and liver toxicity were the most common adverse reactions.The incidence rate of rhabdomyolysis was 20.51％,which was significantly higher than that of the other adverse reactions(P<0.05).The incidence rates of adverse reactions induced by simvastatin and atorvastatin were 44.87％and 28.21％,significantly higher than other statins(P<0.05).The incidence of side effects was the highest(30.77％)when the statins combined with antihypertensive drugs and anti myocardial drugs,and the incidence of adverse reactions was 20.51％when combined with lipid-lowering drugs.Conclusion The adverse reaction rate is relatively high when statins,especially simvastatin and atorvastatin combined with antihypertensive,anti-myocardial and lipid-lowering drugs,and the adverse reactions to liver toxicity and muscle toxicity are the main performance.Therefore a standardized and rational medication regimen should be made based on the clinical characteristics of patients and the type of drug in the clinical use of statins,in order to reduce the incidence of adverse reactions to the maximum limit.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of three bond agents on bond strength of titanium- ceramic system. Methods: The pure titanium specimens were randomly divided into three groups. Three different manufacturers' porcelains(Super Ti22,Duceratin,Titankeramik) were used specially for titanium- ceramic bonding. The specimens in each group were further divided into two subgroups:bond agent group and no bond agent group. Bond strength of specimens was measured by the three- point bending test according to ISO9693. The titanium- ceramic interfaces were investigated by SEM/EDS. Results:The bond strength of Super Ti22(35.84±2.17) MPa and Duceratin(35.45±2.37) MPa with bond agent group was significantly higher than that of no bond agent group(P<0.05). Titankeramik with bond agent group showed a little higher bond strength than without bond agent, but no significant difference in statistics(P>0.05). The interfaces of Super Ti22 and Duceratin with bond agent groups were compact, while there were visible cracks and pores at the interface of other groups. Conclusion:The application of bond agent can improve bond strength of titanium- ceramic system.

Objective; To evaluate the influence of electrolyte's concentration at micro-arc oxide treatment on the bonding strength of titanium to porcelain. Methods; CP titanium specimens with size of 25 mm ×3 mm ×0. 5 mm were treated with micro-arc oxidation (MAO) in Na_2SiO_3 solution of three different concentrations. After ultra-low-fusing porcelain was applied, a three-point-flexure-test was used to evaluate the bonding strength of titanium to porcelain. The surface of the specimens was observed by SEM and EDS, as well as the interface between titanium and porcelain. Results; The bonding strength values between titanium treated with MAO and porcelain was significantly higher then the control groups, Croup 20 g/L has the highest bonding strength values. SEM/EDS suggested that a porous thin layer of oxide which contains Si element is created by MAO, and higher concentration of Na_2SiO_3 leads to more Si element in oxide. Conclusion; MAO treating can improve the bonding strength between titanium and ceramic. Electrolyte's concentration has an effect on the bond strength between titanium and porcelain.
