The crystallization kinetics of Co doping on Ni-Mn-Sn magnetic shape memory alloy thin films.

Co doping is an effective means to improve the performance of Ni-Mn-Sn alloy bulks and thin films. However, the Co doping effect on the crystallization process of the Ni-Mn-Sn alloy thin films is important but not clear. Therefore, we investigate the influence of Co doping on the crystallization kinetics for NiMn SnCo ( = 0, 0.

[Clinical study of sinus elevation by hydraulic and implant placement followed by bone graft simultaneously].

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical results and technique of sinus membrane hydraulic elevation followed by bone graft and implant placement simultaneously.

Methods: Twenty-five patients were involved in the study (male:15, female: 10, age: 40-62 yrs). The mean residual ridge was (4.

[Effect of zirconia abutment angulation on stress distribution in the abutment and the bone around implant: a finite element study].

Purpose: To investigate the effect of three different zirconia angular abutments on the stress distribution in bone and abutment using three-dimensional finite element analysis, and provide instruction for clinical application.

Methods: Finite element analysis (FEA) was applied to analyze the stress distribution of three different zirconia/titanium angular abutments and bone around implant.

Results: The maximum Von Minses stress that existed in abutment, bolt and bone of the angular abutment model was significantly higher than that existed in the straight abutment model.

[Evaluation of N2O inhalation and oral midazolam conscious sedation in pediatric dentistry of children with intellectual disability].

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of N2O inhalation and oral midazolam sedation on uncooperative patients with intellectual disability in pediatric dentistry.

Methods: N2O inhalation (35%-50%) and oral midazolam conscious sedation (dosages range: 0.50-0.

Postnatal high-protein diet improves learning and memory in premature rats via activation of mTOR signaling.

Purpose: The present study investigated whether a high-protein diet affects spatial learning and memory in premature rats via modulation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling.

Methods: Pre- and full-term Sprague-Dawley pups were fed a normal (18% protein) or high-protein (30% protein) diet (HPD) for 6 or 8 weeks after weaning. Spatial learning and memory were tested in the Morris water maze at week 6 and 8.

[Investigation of status of dental caries in children of primary school in Hangzhou city from 2009 to 2011].

Purpose: To investigate the status of dental caries in children of primary school in Hangzhou City from 2009 to 2011.

Methods: The status of dental caries was examined annually from 2009 to 2011, and the caries prevalence, filling rates, mean DMFT/dmft were recorded. SPSS 13.

Novel docosanoids inhibit brain ischemia-reperfusion-mediated leukocyte infiltration and pro-inflammatory gene expression.

Ischemic stroke triggers lipid peroxidation and neuronal injury. Docosahexaenoic acid released from membrane phospholipids during brain ischemia is a major source of lipid peroxides. Leukocyte infiltration and pro-inflammatory gene expression also contribute to stroke damage.
