Published: October 2011

Thin films of a stimuli-responsive homopolymer dewet as a stimulus response after anion exchange of the imidazolium's counter anion. Contact angle analysis and interfacial energy considerations indicate dewetting goes counter to increasing spreading coefficient. Intrafilm stress arising from structural relaxation drives the dewetting.

A morphometric analysis of the cranial base in trigonocephaly.

J Craniomaxillofac Surg

January 2025

Department of Clinical Anatomy, School of Laboratory Medicine and Medical Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa. Electronic address:

Trigonocephaly occurs when the metopic suture fuses prematurely. Few studies have documented the morphometry of the entire anterior cranium in trigonocephaly and not on the morphometric changes to the cranial fossae alone. Thus, this study aimed to determine and compare the dimensions of the anterior cranial fossa (ACF) in trigonocephaly and control groups.

To observe the stability of vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) and mandibular position in full-mouth occlusal reconstruction subjects by means of digital occlusal analysis. Six subjects who had completed full-mouth occlusal reconstruction by intraoral functional generated path technique for more than three years in the Department of Prosthodontics, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology were enrolled for follow-up observation, all six patients were male, with an age of (53.6±8.

Objective: To compare the short-term effectiveness between Gamma 3 intramedullary nails and Gamma 3 U-Blade system in the treatment of osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 124 elderly patients with osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures, who were admitted between February 2020 and February 2023 and met the selection criteria. The fractures were fixed with Gamma 3 intramedullary nails in 65 patients (control group) and Gamma 3 U-Blade systems in 59 patients (UB group).

Objective: To measure and analyze the relationships among the posterior tibial slope (PTS), meniscal slope (MS), and meniscus posterior horn thickness (MPHT) of the medial and lateral tibial plateau in healthy people and patients with anteromedial osteoarthritis (AMOA) in Heilongjiang province, so as to provide reference basis for appropriate tibial osteotomy and prosthesis placement angles in knee joint surgeries.

Methods: A retrospective collection of imaging data from knee joint MRI examinations conducted prior to AMOA for various reasons was performed. A total of 103 healthy individuals (healthy group) and 30 AMOA patients (AMOA group) were included.
