Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the unique clinical traits, treatments, and outcomes of pediatric-onset growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma (GHPA) patients compared to adults, aiming to enhance clinical strategies for these cases.
- Findings reveal that pediatric patients, predominantly male, often experience earlier complications, have higher hormone levels, and face more surgical risks than adults, despite similar cure rates.
- Both groups show a comparable recurrence rate, but pediatric patients are more prone to hypopituitarism, while adult patients have a higher incidence of other tumors, highlighting the need for tailored treatment approaches.
In this study, 22Cr25NiWCuCo(Nb) heat-resistant steel specimens with high Cr and Ni contents were adopted to investigate the effect of Nb content on thermal and precipitation behavior. Differential scanning calorimetry profiles revealed that the melting point of the 22Cr25NiWCuCo(Nb) steel specimens decreased slightly with the Nb content. After heat treatment at 1200 °C for 2 h, the precipitates dissolved in a Nb-free steel matrix.

In this study, 2205 duplex stainless steel (DSS) was employed to enhance the antibacterial properties of material through silver doping. The results demonstrated that silver-doped 2205 DSS produces an excellent bacteria-inhibiting effect against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The antibacterial rates were 100% and 99.

Monolayered TiSiN and multilayered TiSiN/CrN coatings were synthesized by a cathodic arc deposition process. The chromium and Ti/Si (80/20 at.%) alloy targets were adopted as the cathode materials, altering the ratio of cathode current (I[TiSi]/I[Cr]) to obtain various multilayer periodic thicknesses of multilayered TiSiN/CrN coatings.
