Polishing of Silicon Nitride Ceramic Balls by Clustered Magnetorheological Finish.

In this study, a novel finishing method, entitled clustered magnetorheological finish (CMRF), was proposed to improve surface finish of the silicon nitride ( Si 3 N 4 ) balls with ultra fine precision. The effects of different polishing parameters including rotation speeds, eccentricities and the machining gaps on surface finish of Si 3 N 4 balls were investigated by analyzing the roughness, sphericity and the micro morphology of the machined surface. The experimental results showed that the polishing parameters significantly influenced the surface finish.

[Efficacy and safety of Xiyanping injection combined with azithromycin in treating mycoplasma pneumonia of children: Meta-analysis].

To systemically evaluate the safety and efficacy of Xiyanping injection combined with azithromycin in the treatment of mycoplasmal pneumonia in children. PubMed, Wanfang Data, CNKI, VIP and CBM were used to search for the clinical randomized controlled trials on Xiyanping injection combined with azithromycin in the treatment of mycoplasmal pneumonia in children from database establishment to July, 2017. The papers were screened according to the established inclusion and exclusion criteria, and then the quality of the included studies was evaluated to extract valid data for Meta-analysis by using Revman 5.

[Impact of anxiety-depression symptoms on clinical recovery and serum TNF-alpha and IL-6 of patients with burns].

Objective: To investigate the impact of anxiety-depression symptoms on the healing of burn wounds and the serum tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the patients with moderate and severe burns.

Methods: The patients with moderate and severe burns were divided into anxiety-depression group (24 patients) and non-anxiety-depression group (27 patients)according to the scores of anxiety-depression scores three days after burn measured by Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) and Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAMA). The routine therapy was applied for both groups for 30 days.

[Diallyl trisulfide induces apoptosis of human gastric cancer cell line MGC803 through caspase-3 pathway].

Background & Objective: Garlic and the organosulfer compound from garlic have antitumor effects, but the mechanisms still remain unclear. This study was to investigate the changes and significance of caspase-3 activity in diallyl trisulfide (DATS)-induced apoptosis of human gastric cancer cell line MGC803.

Methods: Effects of DATS on the apoptosis of MGC803 cells and the change of activated caspase-3 were observed under a fluorescent and an electron microscopy, and detected by flow cytometry and Western blot.

[Antitumor effect of diallyl disulfide on human gastric cancer MGC803 cells xenograft in nude mice].

Background & Objective: Diallyl disulfide (DADS) can inhibit growth of various cancer cell lines in vitro, but little is known about its in vivo antitumor effect. This study was designed to investigate effect of DADS on growth of human gastric carcinoma MGC803 cells xenograft in BALB/C nude mice.

Methods: MGC803 cells, with or without 1-day treatment of DADS (30 mg/L), were subcutaneously transplanted into the right axial regions of nude mice.
