Methods Totally, 60 patients (54 males, aged 57.0±12.7 years) and /05 stents were investigated by 64-slice CT at a mean interval of 20.0±16.6 months after coronary stents implantation. Axial multi-planar reconstruction images of the stents and curved-planar reconstruction images through the median of the stents were reconstructed for evaluating stent image quality on a 5-point scale (1=excellent, 5=nonassessable), and stent lumen diameter was detected. Conventional coronary angiography was performed in 18 patients, and 32 stents were evaluated. Results Image quality was good to excellent on average (score 1.71±0.76). Stent image quality score was correlated to heart rate (r=0. 281, P〈0.01) and stent diameter (r=-0.480, P〈0.001). All the stents were assessable in lumen visibility with an average visible lumen diameter percentage of 60.7%±13.6%. Visible lumen diameter percentage was correlated to heart rate (r=-0.193, P〈0.05), stent diameter (r=0.403, P〈0.001), and stent image quality score (r=-0.500, P〈0.001). Visible lumen diameter percentage also varied depending on the stent type. In comparison with the conventional coronary angiography, 4 of 6 in-stent stenoses were correctly detected. The sensitivity and specificity for the detection of in-stent stenosis were 66.7% and 84.6%, respectively. Conclusions Using a 64-slice CT, the stent lumen is partly visible in most of the stents. And 64-slice CT may be useful in the assessment of stent patency.展开更多

The influence of Fe^(3+) and Na Ac contents on the size distribution of MSPs was investigated. The structural and morphological properties of the synthesized particles were studied by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray power diffraction(XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM). The well-dispersed MSPs with size of 100-1000 nm were obtained by simply adjusting the contents of Fe^(3+) and NaA c. In addition, the hemolysis and cytotoxicity of Fe_3O_4 MSPs, and their ability to case arrest in cell life-cycles were studied. The results indicate that larger size could lead to lower hemolysis. From MTT(3-(4,5-dimethylthuazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay, the interactions between MSPs and adhesive mouse fibroblast cell line(L929) were probed. Larger size of Fe_3O_4 MSPs demonstrates lower cell viability following an exposure to the cells.展开更多

Effects of holding time and K sources on the infrared emissivity of ZnO were investigated. The structure and surface morphologies of samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The UV-Vis absorption and infrared emissivities were investigated by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer and an infrared emissometer, respectively. XRD patterns confirm the wurtzite structure of the as prepared samples with single phase. Smooth grain surfaces are detected in all doped ZnO samples, while ZnO:Li and ZnO:Na present the aggregation of grains. The redshifts in the optical band-gap are observed in K-, Na-, and Li-doped ZnO with the values 3.150, 3.144, and 3.142 eV. Due to better crystalline quality, ZnO:K shows a lower emissivity than others. The emissivity of K-doped ZnO decreases to the minimum value(0.804), at 1200 °C and holding 2 h. Compared with KNO3 as K source, K2CO3 doped ZnO has lower emissivities.展开更多

The fullerenol exhibited high water solubility, up to 64.9 mg/mL, under neutral (pH = 7) conditions. Dynamic light-scattering (DES) analysis showed a narrow particle size distribution, of 1-2 nm, indicating that the fullerenol had high dispersion properties in water. The results of particle size analyses, which botll focused on a single nanoregion and were conducted using a novel induced grating (IG) method and a scanning probe microscope (SPM), were consistent with the DES results. A plausible reaction mechanism, which includes fullerene oxide intermediates detected by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), has been proposed.展开更多

The resulting P(EG2Glu)-b-PEG-b-P(EG2Glu) triblocks can spontaneously form hydrogels in water. The intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions between polypeptides blocks were responsible for the formation of gel network structure. These hydrogels displayed shear-thinning and rapid recovery properties, which endowed them potential application as injectable drug delivery system. The mechanical strength of hydrogels can be modulated by copolymer composition, molecular weight and concentrations. Also, it was found that the hydrogels' strength decreased with temperature due to dehydration of polypeptide segments. Atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy images revealed that these hydrogels were formed through micelle packing mechanism. Circular dichroism and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy characterizations suggested the poly-L-EG2 Glu block adopted mixed conformation. A preliminary assessment of drug release in vitro demonstrated the hydrogels can offer a sustained release of doxorubicin(DOX) and the release rate could be controlled by varying chemical composition.展开更多

The morphology and composition of this catalyst are analyzed using scanning elec- tronic microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The morphology characteristics reveal that flower-like Fe2O3 parti- cles are highly dispersed on both MnO2 nanotubes and CNT surfaces, coupling all three components firmly. Electrochemical measurements indicate that the synergy of catalyst exhibit superior bi- functional catalytic activity for both oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) as well as stability than Pt/C and lrO2 catalysts. Using these catalysts for air-cathodes, both primary and rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are assembled for performance validation. In a primary ZAB, this 3D-clamed catalyst shows a decent open circuit voltage (OCV, -1.48 V) and a high discharge peak power density (349 mW cm 2), corresponding to a coulomhic efficiency of 92%. In a rechargeahle ZABs with this bifunctional catalyst, high OCV (〉1.3 V) and small charge-discharge voltage gap (〈1.1 V) are achieved along with high specific capacity (780 mAh g 1 at 30 mA cm-2) and robust cycle-life (1,390 cycles at cycle profile of 20 mA/10 min).展开更多

The microstructure of the fl-Ga203 films were investigated in detail using X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that the film prepared at 500℃ exhibits the best crystallinity with a monoclinic structure (fl-Ga203). Structure analysis reveals a clear out-of-plane orientation offl-Ga203 (201) II A1203 (0001). The average transmittance of these films in the visible wavelength range exceeds 90%, and the optical band gap of the films varies from 4.68 eV to 4.94 eV which were measured by an ultraviolet-visible-near infrared (UV-vis-NIR) spectrophotometer. Therefore, it is hopeful that the fl-Ga203 film can be used in the UV optoelectronic devices.展开更多

But usually the bone fragments are lost on the roadside and are not usable. We report a patient who was involved in a head-on collision between two wheelers and presented with a bone fragment embedded in his thigh. Radiological survey revealed no bony injury in that patient. Another patient, who presented at the same time, sustained a segmental fracture of shaft femur and was found to have lost a bone fragment that was similar to the one found in previous patient. CT scan with 3D reconstruction revealed this missing fragment to be the same as that found in previous patient. Both patients had a history of head-on collision while travelling on a two-wheeler. Present case report throws some highlights on the probable mechanism of injury.展开更多

Herein, a new wire-like morphology of phenazine(Phz)-chloranilic acid(H2ca) cocrystal(PHC) is demonstrated for the first time, and the self-assembly of Phz and H2ca is controlled to selectively prepare kinetically stable wires and thermodynamically stable plates. Specifically, low precursor concentration is beneficial for one-dimensional(1D) self-assembly along the [010] crystallographic direction, while only supersaturation can trigger 2D self-assembly along the [100] and [010] directions, respectively. This is understandable in terms of the(020) face showing the largest attachment energy(Eatt) and the(002) face possessing the smallest surface energy(Esurf). Moreover, anisotropic Raman spectra related to the mode symmetry and atomic displacements in two types of PHCs are revealed, and the same Raman-active vibrational bands of PHC wire and plate show different polarization responses, which is intrinsically ascribed to their different molecular orientations.Overall, this is the first case that morphologies of cocrystal are precisely tuned with comprehensive investigations of their anisotropic vibrational characteristics.展开更多

The average transmittance of these films in the visible wavelength range exceeds 90%, and the optical band gap of the films varies from 4.68 eV to 4.94 eV which were measured by an ultraviolet-visible-near infrared (UV-vis-NIR) spectrophotometer. Therefore, it is hopeful that the fl-Ga203 film can be used in the UV optoelectronic devices.
文摘Open fractures with bone loss are a common occurrence following high energy trauma. But usually the bone fragments are lost on the roadside and are not usable. We report a patient who was involved in a head-on collision between two wheelers and presented with a bone fragment embedded in his thigh. Radiological survey revealed no bony injury in that patient. Another patient, who presented at the same time, sustained a segmental fracture of shaft femur and was found to have lost a bone fragment that was similar to the one found in previous patient. CT scan with 3D reconstruction revealed this missing fragment to be the same as that found in previous patient. Both patients had a history of head-on collision while travelling on a two-wheeler. Present case report throws some highlights on the probable mechanism of injury.

文摘The nucleation and growth mechanism and polymorph-property correlations in the molecular cocrystal field are widely sought but currently remain unclear. Herein, a new wire-like morphology of phenazine(Phz)-chloranilic acid(H2ca) cocrystal(PHC) is demonstrated for the first time, and the self-assembly of Phz and H2ca is controlled to selectively prepare kinetically stable wires and thermodynamically stable plates. Specifically, low precursor concentration is beneficial for one-dimensional(1D) self-assembly along the [010] crystallographic direction, while only supersaturation can trigger 2D self-assembly along the [100] and [010] directions, respectively. This is understandable in terms of the(020) face showing the largest attachment energy(Eatt) and the(002) face possessing the smallest surface energy(Esurf). Moreover, anisotropic Raman spectra related to the mode symmetry and atomic displacements in two types of PHCs are revealed, and the same Raman-active vibrational bands of PHC wire and plate show different polarization responses, which is intrinsically ascribed to their different molecular orientations.Overall, this is the first case that morphologies of cocrystal are precisely tuned with comprehensive investigations of their anisotropic vibrational characteristics.
