The mechanical properties of alloys with and without Ce were compared. The results showed that Ce had an obvious effect on the microstructure of ZM61-0.5Ce alloy by restricting the occurrence of dynamic recrystallization and restraining the grain growth during extrusion and heat treatment subsequently. A new binary phase Mg 12 Ce was identified in ZM61-0.5Ce alloy, which distributed at grain boundaries and was broken to small particles distributed at grain boundaries along extrusion direction during extrusion. The mechanical properties of as-extruded ZM61-0.5Ce alloy were improved with the addition of Ce. The improved tensile properties of as-extruded ZM61-0.5Ce alloy were due to the finer grain sizes as compared to ZM61 alloy. However, the UTS and YS decreased severely and the elongation increased when ZM61-0.5Ce was treated by T6 and T4＋two-step aging. Brittle Mg 12 Ce phase, which was distributed at the grain boundary areas and cannot dissolve into the Mg matrix after solution treatment, became crack source under tensile stress.展开更多

In the in vitro experiments, the cells were exposed to Mg?6Zn alloy extracts with different concentrations (0, 20% and 40%) for 1, 3 and 5 d. The real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results show that when the cells are treated with 40% and 20% extracts, the expression of Zona Occludens 1 (ZO-1) and Occludin increase as compared with those in the control group. In the in vivo experiments, Mg?6Zn alloy and titanium staples were implanted into rabbits’ intestinal tract for 1, 2 and 3 weeks. By immunohistochemical staining of peri-implant intestinal tissue, increased expression of Occludin and ZO-1 are observed in the Mg?6Zn alloy groups as compared with those in the titanium and control groups. The results show that Mg?6Zn alloy in intestine may promote the regeneration of tight junction, and the extract with a certain concentration can induce the expression of tight junction related genes in IEC-6 cells.展开更多
