X-ray diffractometry(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX) attached to SEM were used to characterize surface structure and the Ca-P coatings. Effects of the above surface treatments on the surface morphology, apatite forming ability were systematically investigated. Results indicate that all the above surface treatments increase the apatite forming ability of TiNi alloys in varying degrees when soaked in simulated body fluid(SBF). More apatite coatings formed on TiNi samples sintered at 1050℃ and 1100℃ due to their high porosity and pure TiNi phase that is beneficial to heterogeneous nucleation. Furthermore, more uniform apatite was fabricated on the sample sintered from the mixture of Ni and Ti powders.展开更多

Methods A prospective study of 50 patients with pleural effusion was conducted using conventional CT and CTP. CT scan was run after injecting an appropriate amount of contrast medium into the pleural cavity. Results In 24 patients, all lesions detected by conventional CT were demonstrated by CTP. In 13 of 24 patients, CT pleurography detected additional lesions. In 20 of 26 patients with negative findings on conventional CT, CTP was capable of demonstrating the presence of pleural lesions. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of detecting pleural lesions were 25%, 100% and 30% for conventional CT, 86%, 100% and 87% for CTP, respectively. Conclusion CTP is superior to conventional CT in detecting and for the differential diagnosis benign and malignant pleural lesions.展开更多
