1.Galvanic corrosion between Ti implants and implant superstructure dental alloys
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2011;15(51):9617-9620
BACKGROUND: Most of the dental metal repair materials contacting Ti implants will cause galvanic corrosion and local environment with positive electricity on the implant interface, which directly affects the status of the tissues, especially bone resorption.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the galvanic corrosion of commercially pure Ti (TA2 type) coupled with Au alloy, CoCr alloy, Ti alloy, and NiCr alloy in vitro. METHODS: Circuit of commercially pure Ti contacting with Au alloy, CoCr alloy, Ti alloy, and NiCr alloy was simulated in vitro in artificial saliva, and the common potential and galvanic current in 15 hours were recorded to draw current-time curves. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The galvanic current became stable after 8 hours of contacting. The galvanic current was the greatest in Ti/Au, followed by Ti/CoCr, Ti/Ti alloy, and then Ti/NiCr. Results indicated that the galvanic corrosion of the couple of Ti and Au alloy is the lowest. Au alloy is the most suitable material for implant superstructure. The galvanic corrosion of the couple of Ti and NiCr alloy is the highest, so NiCr alloy is not acceptable for implant superstructure.

Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 1994;0(07):-
Object An attempt to seek after an intrinsic inhibitor present in the seed of Astragalus membranaceus (Fisch.) Bge.. Methods Crude ethereal extract of the seed was prepared and treated on paper chromatography. Inhibitory effects of different fractions with different Rf value were tested on Brassica chinensis L. and wheat germination. Effect of steeping the seed in warm water at 41 ℃ or 45 ℃ for different periods of time was also studied.Results Seed of A. membranaceus does contain strong intrinsic inhibitor. The portion of its ethereal extract with Rf 0.9 showed the most strong inhibition for the germination of Brassica, and the fraction with Rf 1.0 can inhibit the growth of the tender Brassica root, steeping with warm water can remove most of the intrinsic inhibitor, which also inhibits the growth of both aerial and underground parts of wheat sprouts, but without effect on its seed germination. It also showed strong inhibition of seed germination and growth of tender root of A. membranaceus. Conclusion Besides the low water permeability of the seed peel, the intrinsic inhibitor present in A. membranaceus is another essential factor that retard its germination.

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2017;40(7):597-600
Objective Based on the 2012 Atlanta classification criteria, to study the value of C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) in the early forecasting acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods Eighty-three patients with AP were selected. The patients were divided into mild AP (MAP) group (39 cases), moderately severe AP (MSAP) group (31 cases) and severe AP (SAP) group (13 cases) according to the 2012 Atlanta classification criteria. Twenty-seven healthy people were selected as control group. The levels of serum CRP and PCT were measured. The predictive value of serum CRP and PCT levels for SAP, infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN), organ failure and death risk was assessed using the area under the curve (AUC). Results The serum CRP and PCT levels in MAP group, MSAP group and SAP group were significantly higher than those in control group: (49.84 ± 12.26), (89.77 ± 22.10) and (123.69 ± 37.09) mg/L vs. (3.92 ± 1.37) mg/L, (1.15 ± 0.42), (2.44 ± 0.61) and (3.27 ± 0.96)μg/L vs. (0.41 ± 0.13)μg/L, and those in MSAP group and SAP group were significantly higher than those in MAP group, those in SAP group were significantly higher than those in MSAP group, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The Spearman correlation analysis result showed that AP severity was positively correlated with serum CRP and PCT levels (r = 0.652 and 0.714, P<0.05). The accuracy of serum CRP level for forecasting SAP and IPN was medium (AUC = 0.73 and 0.76), and for forecasting organ failure accuracy was low (AUC = 0.67). Serum CRP showed no significance in forecasting death risk (AUC = 0.46). The accuracy of serum PCT level for forecasting SAP, IPN and death risk accuracy was medium (AUC = 0.71, 0.86 and 0.80), and for forecasting organ failure accuracy was low (AUC =0.64). Conclusions Based on the 2012 Atlanta classification criteria, the accuracy of serum CRP level for forecasting SAP is higher than that of serum PCT level, the accuracy of serum PCT level for forecasting IPN and death risk is higher than that of serum CRP level, and accuracy of serum CRP and PCT levels for forecasting organ failure are low.
