OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of microwave sintering on the translucency of zirconia and to compare these effect with those of conventional sintering. The relationship between the microstructure of specimens and translucency was investigated.
METHODSA total of 10 disc-shaped specimens were fabricated from 2 commercial brands of zirconia, namely, Zenostar and Lava. Each group included 5 discs. Conventional sintering was performed according to the manufacturers' specifications. The maximum temperature for Zenostar was 1,490 °C, whereas that for Lava was 1,500 °C. The dwelling time was 2 h. The sintering temperature for microwave sintering was 1,420 °C, heating rate was 15 °C · min⁻¹, and dwelling time was 30 min. After sintering, the translucency parameter (TP) of the specimens were measured with ShadeEye NCC. The sintered density of the specimens was determined by Archimedes' method. The grain size and microstructure of the specimens were investigated by scanning electron microscopy.
RESULTSDensity and translucency slightly increased by microwave sintering, but no significant difference was found between microwave and conventional sintering (P > 0.05). Small and uniform microstructure were obtained from microwave sintering. The mean TP of Lava was significantly higher than that of Zenostar (P < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONThe translucency of zirconia sintered by microwave sintering is similar to that of the zirconia sintered by conventional sintering.

Objective To investigate the mobility of the lung tumors in order to guide the margin that CTV is to be expanded to PTV during stereotaetic radiotherapy for lung tumors.Methods Eighty-three lung tumom ineluded,in which 7 invaded the chest wall.1-2 gold marker(s)was/were implanted into or nearby the tumor.The motion of lung tumors in x(right-left),y(superior-inferior)and:(anterior-posterior)directions were measured via X-ray simulator system.One week later,1.25 mm thick of 16-slice spiral CT lung scan were taken.Apex,middle,and bottom of the lung were classified according to anatomic boderlines.Results No significant difference was detected among movements of apex,middle and bottom of the lung lesions in x axis direction((1.6±0.8),(2.6±1.1),(2.8±1.7)mm,respectively(F=1.76,P=0.179))and,y axis direction((2.0±1.3),(4.3±2.8),(4.0±2.0)mm,respectively(F=2.06,P=0.135))in 76 lesions of 63 patients.Significant differences were detected in:axis((2.7±0.8),(7.3±3.6),(12.0±5.3)mm(F=16.33,P=0.000)).The mobilities of the 7 lesions of 7 patients invading the chest wall were very small in all directions(0.9±0.7,0.7±0.7.and 2.0±0.6 mm,respectively).Motion amplitude did not correlate with the sex,age,height,weight and FEV1/FVC(r=-0.001-0.136.all P>0.05).Conclusions Motion amplitude of lung tumor due to breathing is associated with tumor loeation and status of chest wall invoivement.Identification of the mobile rules and the influencing factors is important for the internal margin set-up in lung tumor radiotherapy.

Objective:To study the in vitro antimicrobial activity of traditional Chinese medicine herbal pair of euphorbia humifusa Willd. and portulaca oleracea L. . Methods: The antibacterial effect in vitro of the traditional Chinese medicine herbal pair and the single herb of euphorbia humifusa Willd. and portulaca oleracea L. was studied on staphylococcus aureus, escherichia coli and pseudo-monas aeruginosa by the 2-fold dilution method and the broth micro-dilution method in a 96-well plate. The minimum inhibitory con-centration ( MIC) , minimum bactericidal concentration ( MBC) and the diameter of inhibition zone were determined. Results:The ex-perimental strains showed the different sensitivity among the traditional Chinese medicine herbal pair and the single herb. The antibac-terial and bactericidal activity of the traditional Chinese medicine herbal pair was the most obvious(P<0. 05). As the temperature in-creasing, the antibacterial activity of all water extract on different experimental strains changed. The results of MIC and MBC showed that the effects of water extract on escherichia coli were strongest, that of stapphylococcus aureus were secong, ant that of pseudomonas aeruginosa were relatively weak. Conclusion:The traditional Chinese medicine herbal pair of euphorbia humifusa Willd. and portulaca oleracea L. has antibacterial and bactericidal activity in varying degrees on the experimental strains with some differences, and the changes in the application forms of traditional Chinese medicines has great influence on the antibacterial and bactericidal ability.
