In this work, the effects of total dose irradiation on the parasitic bipolar junction transistor (BTJ) in 130 nm PDSOI MOSFETs were investigated. The experimental results demonstrate that irradiation-induced oxide-trap charges can modify the E-B junction barrier, and thereby make the common-emitter gain β0 of the parasitic BJT in NMOS device increase, while decreasing it in a PMOS device. Additionally, irradiation-generated oxide-trap charges in shallow trench isolation (STI) elevate the surface electrostatic potential of the gate above the STI sidewall, thus providing an additional channel from the emitter to the collector.

Silicon photonics is considered to be an ideal solution as optical interconnect in radiation environments. Our previous study has demonstrated experimentally that radiation responses of device are related to waveguide size, and devices with thick top silicon waveguide layers are expected to be less sensitive to irradiation. Here, we design radiation-resistant arrayed waveguide gratings and Mach-Zehnder interferometers based on silicon-on-insulator with 3 µm-thick silicon optical waveguide platform.

In this work, the radiation responses of silicon photonic passive devices built in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology are investigated through high energy neutron and Co γ-ray irradiation. The wavelengths of both micro-ring resonators (MRRs) and Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs) exhibit blue shifts after high-energy neutron irradiation to a fluence of 1×10 n/cm; the blue shift is smaller in MZI devices than in MRRs due to different waveguide widths. Devices with SiO upper cladding layer show strong tolerance to irradiation.

Elbow tuberculosis is a rare disease of infectious osteoarthritis. The aim of operation for elbow tuberculosis is to maintain joint function, ensure stability of joint and improve quality of life, while there were controversies about the implementation details of different procedures. For elbow tuberculosis at an advanced stage, the clinical effect of forked osteotomy arthroplasty is effective and could meet with most patients without demand of strength.

Interleukin-1 α (IL-1α) was thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of disc degeneration by increasing the production of extracellular matrix degradation enzymes and by inhibiting extracellular matrix synthesis. IL-1α may provide insight about the etiology of IDD.

Fluorapatite with low solubility is a promising biomaterial due to its structure, which is similar to hydroxyapatite. In this study a bioactive composite of nanofluorapatite (n-FA) and polyamide 12 (PA12) was fabricated. The results revealed that the mechanical properties (such as compressive strength and elastic modulus), hydrophilicity, and antibacterial properties of n-FA/PA12 composite were obviously improved by adding n-FA into PA12 as compared with PA12.
