in this study, plasma electrolytic oxidation of 2024-t3 aluminum alloy was investigated. the electrolyte used in this investigation was an alkaline solution containing additives of silicate, phosphate, potassium hydroxide and glycerin. a conventional dc power source with a low applied voltage was employed. corrosion resistance of the oxide layer was investigated by means of tafel plots and elec...

the histopathologic diagnosis of orbital and ocular adnexal lymphoproliferative lesions is difficult, resulting controversy in classification, determining benignity or malignancy of them and treatment modality selection. we designed the following study to evaluate clinical, histopathologic and if necessary immunochemical features of them in decreasing indeterminate cases. the study includes 51 ...

introduction: striae distensae (sd) are a frequent skin condition for which treatment remains a challenge. the 1540-nm non-ablative fractional laser (star lux 500) has been shown to improve atrophic scars by increasing the amount of dermal collagen. to assess the safety and efficacy of the star lux 500 laser in the treatment of mature hypopigmented striae in persian people (striae alba). method...

this case is a 19-year-old soldier who suffered a combined elbow dislocation and posterior monteggia fracture and dislocation (type ii). the ulna fracture was managed by orif. the elbow dislocation was managed by closed reduction and immobilization in 900 flexion. the posteriorly dislocated radial head was kept reduced by a transarticular pin. after 6 months elbow and forearm motion was restric...

A very rapid electrolytic analysis termed 'electrolytic chromatography', using a column electrode with glassy carbon grains, has been developed. The column electrode has been used not only for coulometric detection, but also for separation of metals, elimination of interfering elements, unification of oxidation state, and concentration of an element. Some analytical applications of electrolytic...

Cancer-stromal interaction is a critical process in tumorigenesis. Conventional dish-based co-culture assays simply mix two cell types in the same dish; thus, they are deficient in controlling cell locations and precisely tracking single cell behavior from heterogeneous cell populations. Microfluidic technology can provide a good spatial-temporal control of microenvironments, but the control ha...

Commercial elemental iron powders (electrolytic and reduced iron), as well as heme iron supplements, were tested for efficacy in improving the iron status of women. In a randomized, double-blind trial, 51 women with moderate to low iron stores received daily for 12 wk: 1) placebo, 2) 5 mg iron as heme iron or 50 mg iron as 3) electrolytic iron, 4) reduced iron, or 5) FeSO(4). Treatments were pr...
