National Natural Science Foundation-supported papers on oncology published by domestic authors / 中华医学图书情报杂志

Objective To analyze the National Natural Science Foundation-supported papers on oncology published by domestic authors from 2013 to 2015 and existed problems. Methods The key words in the National Natural Sci-ence Foundation-supported papers on oncology published by domestic authors from 2013 to 2015 and SCI-covered journals and Chinese institutions that published the National Natural Science Foundation-supported papers on on-cology from 2013 to 2015 were analyzed by bibliometrics. Results The number of the National Natural Science Foundation-supported scientific projects and funds, the number of the National Natural Science Foundation-sup-ported papers on oncology published by domestic authors, and the academic level of SCI-covered journals that pub-lished the National Natural Science Foundation-supported papers on oncology from Chinese authors increased year by year from 2013 to 2015 . General and medical colleges and universities with affiliated hospitals or national key laboratories were the leading force in oncology. The hot spots in oncology were focused on basic research and malig-nant tumors. Conclusion The National Natural Science Foundation plays an active role in promoting the develop-ment of oncology in China. Although it-supported papers on oncology published by domestic authors increase year by year, problems are still existed, such as imbalance of institutions that publish papers on oncology and insuffi-cient influencing power of papers published by domestic authors.

Study of blood compatibility on TiO2 coated biomedical Ni-Ti shape memory alloy / 生物医学工程学杂志

We coated a thin TiO2 film on the surface of Ni-Ti shape memory alloy by activated sputter method in the present work. The blood platelet adherence and antithrombogenicity of the TiO2-coated Ni-Ti alloy were evaluated. The results showed that the platelets on the TiO2-coated Ni-Ti alloy were fewer than those on 316L stainless steel, and no agglomeration or distortion for the platelets on the coated alloy was found, which means less probability of blood coagulation for the alloy. The coagulation time on the coated Ni-Ti shape memory alloy was longer than that on the 316L. Compared with that on the 316L stainless steel, the TiO2 coated Ni-Ti shape memory alloy showed better blood compatibility, indicating that the Ni-Ti alloy with TiO2 coating is a kind of ideal biomedical materials with high clinical value.

Preparation of anodic oxidation layer on the surface of pure titanium and its biological activity study / 中国医疗器械杂志

This paper introduces how TiO2 film was prepared on pure titanium by anodic oxidation. Surface morphology and composition of the oxide film were analyzed by SEM coupled with EDAX. The deposition ability of hydroxyapatite of the anodized titanium in simulated body fluid (SBF) at 37 degrees C was evaluated. The results indicated that the oxide film was rough and honeycomb holes, connecting with each other, could be found on the surface. The holes with the diameter of 1-2 microm were distributed uniformly, which was typical for anodic oxidation. After alkaline treatment, hydroxyapatite deposition on the oxidized specimens in SBF was improved significantly.

The relationship between the changes of peripheral blood natural killer cells and HLA-Cw alleles in liver cirrhotic patients with chronic HBV infection / 中华微生物学和免疫学杂志

Objective To investigate the relationship between the frequency of peripheral blood natural killer cells (NK) and HLA-Cw alleles in liver cirrhotic patients with chronic HBV infection and a-cute hepatitis B patients. Methods Thirty liver cirrhotic patients and 30 patients with acute hepatitis B were included in our study, and 41 healthy individuals were enrolled as controls. The numbers of circulating NK cells and activated NK ceils were analyzed by flow cytometry. HLA-Cw genotyping was conducted with polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific oligonucleotide (PCR-SSO). Results The numbers of circu-lating NK cells and activated NK cells in liver cirrhotic patients were 13.22% ± 4.61% and 45.68% ± 14.64%, which was lower than that in healthy subjects (P < 0.05). The numbers of circulating NK cells and activated NK cells in acute hepatitis B patients were 22.62% ± 3.70% and 65.28%± 14.45%, which was higher than that in healthy subjects(P < 0. 05). There were statistically significant differences between the two groups(P < 0.01). The allele frequency of HLA-Cw * 15 in the patients with cirrhosis was signifi-cantly higher than that in the healthy (P < 0.05), and there was a significant negative correlation between the frequency of HLA-Cw * 15 and the numbers of activated NK cells in liver cirrhosis(r =4). 862, P < 0.05). No statistically significance was found between the group of acute hepatitis B and healthy subjects a- bout HLA-Cw(P > 0. 05). Conclusion The function of NK cells in liver cirrhotic patients is low, HLA-Cw * 15 gene may be one of the causes of effecting the antiviral function of NK ceils to induce the persistence of hepatitis B virus(HBV) infection.
