As a fundamental subject of medical education, human anatomy plays a critical role in the development of medical science. However, because of multiple factors including cultural conservativism and limited social understanding, China is facing a particularly severe shortage of bodies donated for anatomy education. Zhengzhou University (ZZU) has continued to uphold whole-body dissection as the preferred method for medical students to learn anatomy.

The results show that the addition of Sn refines obviously the size of the Cr phase and enhances the thermal stability of the alloy, which improves the peak-aged hardness of the Cu-Cr-Sn alloy reaching 139 HV after aging at 450 °C for 240 min. In addition, the recrystallization behavior of the Cu-Cr alloy with the 0.

Cu-Cr-based alloys exhibit excellent electrical conductivity and strength, but their poor thermal stability limits their application in industry. In this paper, Cu-0.2Cr (at.

To improve the survival of septic patients, many selective or mediator-specific anti-inflammatory agents have been developed. Saikosaponin A (SsA), a triterpenoid saponin isolated from Radix Bupleuri, inhibits the production of proinflammatory mediators in several cell types and protects against CCl-induced liver injury in rats.
