After 6 weeks’ treatment, 22 cases were cured, with the shortest cure duration being 12 days and the longest being 27 days; 6 cases were markedly effective and 4 cases were effective. Of the 28 cases in the control group who were treated with routine medicated dressing, 6 were cured, 13 had marked improvement and 9 had improvement, with the shortest cure duration being 18 days and the longest being 36 days. Statistical analysis shows a significant difference between the two groups in the effective rate, indicating that moxibustion therapy is of an advantage in the duration of treatment and therapeutic effect.展开更多

The surface defect density, reflective spectra, and laser-induced damage characteristics were measured using optical microscopy, spectrophotometry, a damage testing system, and scanning electron microscopy(SEM), respectively. The results indicated that moderate-time of irradiation enhanced the laser-induced damage threshold(LIDT) of the mirror, but prolonged irradiation produced surface defects, resulting in LIDT degradation. LIDT of the mirrors initially increased and subsequently decreased with the plasma processing time. SEM damage morphologies of the mirrors revealed that nanoscale absorbing defects in sub-layers was one of the key factors limiting the improvement of LIDT in 355 nm HR mirror.展开更多

The results indicate that with the increase in SHT temperature, yield strength and cupping test value (IE) of the sheets increase greatly and reach a peak value, then decrease. Meanwhile, intermetallic com- pounds dissolve into matrix gradually. The grains grow up as SHT temperature increases, and abnormal grain growth leads to the surface defects after solution-treated above 560 ~C. Considering mechanical properties, IE value, residual phases, grain size and surface quality of the sheets, SHT temperature for the alloy should not be higher than 550 ℃.展开更多

It is believed that the defect was resulted from the intrinsic flaws that originally existed on the billet; they were extended and oxidized during the following reheating and rolling processes. With more strict quality control and inspection of the billet, the defect can be prevented effectively from occurring.展开更多

If not treated, ameloblastoma can gain an enormous size and cause severe facial disfigurement and functional impairment. Here we report two patients afflicted with extensive mandibular ameloblastoma (sized in 23 cm × 18 cm × 17 cm and 15 cm × 12 cm × 10 cm, respectively). Both the patients received the same sequential treatment including radical tumor resection, simultaneous reconstruction with fibula free flap graft, vertical distraction osteogenesis on the fibula graft, placement of endosseous dental implants, and final pros-thodontic rehabilitation. It took about 15 months to finish the entire course of treatment. And after the four-year follow-up, neither soft tissue related, nor hard tissue related problems were observed. Satisfactory facial symmetry, chewing and speech functions of the patients were restored. So this sequential treatment for extensive mandibular ameloblastoma can obtain an excellent effect by the shortest time and the lowest economical cost. Furthermore, the series also can be used to reconstruct giant mandibular defects caused by different reasons.展开更多

Methods From January 1985 to May 2008, 127 patients [56 men and 71 women, aged 14-55 years with an average of (26.79±10.62) years] with APVD underwent surgical treatments. Among them, 13 patients had simple partial APVD with intact atrial septum, 104 patients had partial APVD with atrial septal defect and 10 patients had total APVD. Seventy-one patients of them accompanied with other cardiac anomalies which were also corrected in their operations. Results One early operative death due to severe low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) developed postoperatively, which resulted in a mortality rate of 0.78%. Among other patients, 10 patients complicated with LCOS, 11 patients with arrhythmia, 7 patients with acute renal failure and 4 patients with poor wound healing, all discharged from hospital after treatment. Postoperative echocardiography reexamination revealed 1 case of mild residual shunt in atrial septum but without pulmonary vein stenosis. Conclusion For right atrial and ventricle enlarged patients with or without pulmonary hypertension, surgeons should be vigilance of accompanied APVD whether atrial septal defects exist or not. As long as no contraindications are found, surgical treatment should be performed once accurate diagnosis is obtained.展开更多
