Zirconia and Crofer Joint Made by Reactive Air Brazing Using the Silver Base Paste and Cu-Ti Coating Layer.

This study proposes a method to enhance the airtightness of the joint between the ZrO and Crofer alloy using coating technology. With the aid of vacuum sputtering technology, a titanium-copper alloy layer with a thickness between 1.5 μm and 6 μm was first deposited on the surface of ZrO and Crofer, respectively.

Vacuum Brazing of Metallized YSZ and Crofer Alloy Using 72Ag-28Cu Filler Foil.

The study focused on dissimilar brazing of metallized YSZ (Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia) and Crofer alloy using BAg-8 (72Ag-28Cu, wt%) filler foil. The YSZ substrate was metallized by sequentially sputtering Ti (0.5/1 μm), Cu (1/3 μm), and Ag (1.

Epigenetic Regulation of Enhancer during Regeneration of Injured Cortical Neurons.

Traumatic brain injury is known to reprogram the epigenome. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing of histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) and tri-methylation of histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4me3) marks was performed to address the transcriptional regulation of candidate regeneration-associated genes. In this study, we identify a novel enhancer region for induced transcription during regeneration of injured cortical neurons.

Association between early serum cholinesterase activity and 30-day mortality in sepsis-3 patients: A retrospective cohort study.

Low serum cholinesterase (SCHE) activity has been associated with poor prognoses in a variety of conditions, including sepsis. However, such an association has not been well characterized since the Third International Consensus Definitions Task Force modified the definition of sepsis to "life-threatening organ dysfunction due to a dysregulated host response to infection" (known as sepsis-3) in 2016. In the current retrospective cohort study, we examined whether 30-day mortality in sepsis-3 patients is associated with SCHE activity.

Iron overload induces G1 phase arrest and autophagy in murine preosteoblast cells.

This study aimed to investigate the cell cycle arrest and autophagy induced by iron overload in MC3T3-E1 cells. MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured in different concentrations of ferric ammonium citrate (FAC), and Perls' Prussian blue reaction was used to detect the iron levels of the cells. CCK-8 assays were used to detect the growth of MC3T3-E1.

Customized Lingual Orthodontic Treatment of Skeletal Class II Malocclusion with Bilateral Maxillary First Premolar Extraction: Case Report.

This report describes the orthodontic camouflage treatment for a 52-year-old Chinese man using eBrace customized lingual appliance with bilateral maxillary first premolar extraction. The treatment results showed that using the eBrace customized lingual appliance can achieve expected effects and has a high level of safety for periodontal health.
