Bronchogenic cysts with infection in the chest wall skin of a 64-yearold asymptomatic patient: A case report

BACKGROUND Skin bronchogenic cysts are extremely rare congenital bronchocystic changes caused by the abnormal development of the trachea,bronchial trees or lung buds during the embryonic period.The first case of skin bronchogenic cysts was reported in 1945.Since then,this disease has attracted increasing attention,but due to the low incidence,its pathogenesis is still not clear.CASE SUMMARY Here,we report another case of skin bronchogenic cysts with infection in a 64-year-old female patient.The patient had no symptoms for more than 60 years until her chest wall was recently found to be swollen,and she felt pain and discomfort.At the same time,secretions were found on the surface of the swelling.Color Doppler ultrasound examination showed abnormal echoes in the soft tissue under the frontal chest wall,suggesting the presence of cysts.Cytological puncture resulted in about 2 mL of pus and showed the presence of more acute inflammatory cells.The final clinical diagnosis was skin cyst with infection,and surgery was carried out.The pathological results obtained after surgery showed that the cystic wall was covered with column-like cilia epithelial cells,and the interstitial structure was partially inundated with inflammatory cells.After a variety of examinations and clinical diagnoses,we finally confirmed that the patient was suffering from bronchogenic cyst.CONCLUSION This article not only describes the case of an elderly patient with rare skin bronchogenic cysts with infection but also provides a detailed and correct diagnosis and a successful treatment process,which is of great value for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

Low temperature Si/Si wafer direct bonding using a plasma activated method

Manufacturing and integration of micro-electro-mechanical systems （MEMS） devices and integrated circuits （ICs） by wafer bonding often generate problems caused by thermal properties of materials. This paper presents a low temperature wafer direct bonding process assisted by 02 plasma. Silicon wafers were treated with wet chemical cleaning and subsequently activated by 02 plasma in the etch element of a sputtering system. Then, two wafers were brought into contact in the bonder followed by annealing in N2 atmosphere for several hours. An infrared imaging system was used to detect bonding defects and a razor blade test was carried out to determine surface energy. The bonding yield reaches 90%--95% and the achieved surface energy is 1.76 J/m2 when the bonded wafers are annealed at 350 ~C in N2 atmosphere for 2 h. Void formation was systematically observed and eli-mination methods were proposed. The size and density of voids greatly depend on the annealing temperature. Short O2 plasma treatment for 60 s can alleviate void formation and enhance surface energy. A pulling test reveals that the bonding strength is more than 11.0 MPa. This low temperature wafer direct bonding process provides an efficient and reliable method for 3D integration, system on chip, and MEMS packaging.

基于卫星遥感数据的东海浮游植物对台风响应研究

台风是发生在热带或副热带海洋上的一种强烈气旋性涡旋,能够对海洋环境产生一定的影响。本文基于中分辨率成像光谱仪MODIS(moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer)和地球静止海洋水色成像仪GOCI(geostationary ocean color imager)卫星遥感数据,对2018年东海海域台风过境后浮游植物的响应进行研究。研究发现,2018年7支过境东海的台风影响程度不一,其中台风“苏力”的影响比较明显,过境后海表面温度平均降低约2.53℃;叶绿素a的浓度增加约1.15 mg/m^(3)。台风影响出现差异的原因是台风能否产生上升流,该过程主要受风力、移动速度和过境时长等因素影响,风力越大、移动速度越慢、过境时间越长的台风对过境海域的影响越大,反之亦然。本研究为理解台风对海洋生态系统的影响及其程度提供了科学参考。
