Development of antimicrobial polypropylene sutures by graft copolymerization. II. Evaluation of physical properties,drug release,and antimicrobial activity

Polypropylene (PP) sutures are prepared by the simultaneous radiation grafting of 1‐vinylimidazole (VIm) onto PP monofilament sutures. The tenacity slightly decreases whereas the elongation increases with the increase in the degree of grafting. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that the stability of the sutures is enhanced by the grafting process. The grafted sutures have reasonably good water uptake. They are subsequently immobilized with an antimicrobial drug, ciprofloxacin. The modified suture releases the drug over a period of 4–5 days. The antimicrobial activity of the modified suture is determined against Esherichia coli by the zone of inhibition technique. A clear zone of inhibition is observed around the drug‐containing suture. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 103: 3534–3538, 2007     

Study on thermal infrared remote sensing of Yarlung Zangbo River and Bangong Co-Nujiang River suture belt in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

The area change of heat abnormity is not in accordance with conclusions of former thermal infrared remote sensing studies of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which were that the temperature of Yarlung Zangbo River suture belt of the southern Plateau is high and the northern temperature is low. The study result in this paper shows that the highest temperature is found in the Bangong Co-Nujiang River suture belt, the Yarlung Zangbo River suture belt temperature is the second highest, and the northern Tibet temperature is the lowest. The study demonstration area was the suture belt areas of the Yarlung Zangbo River and the Bangong Co-Nujiang River in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, where the land temperature of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the bore temperature of field land surface were measured and the emissivity of land surface was calculated. In addition, the authors explore the mechanism of the relationship between thermal infrared remote sensing and constructing thermodynamics and reach four new conclusions about the thermodynamics of the Tibet Plateau.

全层间断外翻缝合下腹部横切口的临床分析

目的探讨全层间断外翻缝合下腹部妇科手术横切口的临床价值。方法86例选择下腹部横切口作妇科手术的女性病人,其中43例采用全层间断外翻缝合下腹部横切口的病人为研究组,另外43例采用全层皮下间断缝合下腹部横切口的病人为对照组。结果研究组全部病人的切口于手术后8d内无切口感染症状。对照组少数病人的切口于术后第4天后出现切口感染感染症状。结论全层间断外翻缝合下腹部横切口的方法比全层皮下间断缝合下腹部切口的方法更利于下腹部横切口的愈合。     

试论中国大陆经向和纬向石油富集“黄金带”特征

从目前勘探现状、盆地成因、产层的主要时代等因素分析,中国大陆含油盆地可划为从依兰-伊通-渤海湾-江汉盆地群构成的经向带,和从准噶尔-二连-松辽盆地群组成的纬向带,二者共拥有中国石油总产量的94%和总储量的99%.因而我们分别称为经向和纬向石油富集“黄金带”.本文从中国板块构造演化、成盆构造背景和成藏条件等因素,分析了经、纬向石油富集带的共性和个性,并与国内二类三种含油气大地构造单元对比,认为纬向油气富集带具有最有利的石油勘探前景,建议列为“九五”期间中国大陆石油勘探的重点地区,其中应特别加强准噶尔盆地,沙漠区的勘探力度,可望找到特大型油田。     

Comparison of the Stability of Different Arthroscopic Tendon Fixation Techniques in Dynamic Tests

Abstract: In studies concerning the stability of surgical tendon fixation techniques, a large variety of test configurations is found resulting in a broad scatter of results. The goal of this study was to establish a reliable test protocol for the investigation of the stability of repair techniques. At 88 fresh bovine shoulders, four different suture configurations were tested: simple stitches, mattress sutures, modified Mason‐Allen configuration and double‐row configuration. The difference in response to load cycles with native samples and that after repair was recorded. Bioresorbable anchors were used for tendon fixation, in a second run tendons were affixed to metal plates, and with a third run fixation stability was monitored with a video camera. The double‐row technique was the most stable one with the lowest values of compliance at all selected levels of gap formation followed by the mattress suture configuration. The simple stitch configuration and the modified Mason‐Allen techniques were the most compliant techniques. By establishing this test protocol, we achieved a very accurate method of measurement (accuracy of 2 μm) with as few external influences as possible. The great advantage is that the proposed protocol allows the measurement of the mechanical quality of the suture fixation without an external device such as calipers.

PEG-PLA-PCL based electrospun yarns with curcumin control release property as suture

This work presents an interesting method using an electrospinning process to fabricate suture yarns loaded with curcumin to achieve reasonable mechanical properties as well as tunable drug release behavior. Different structures including different yarn counts and twists as well as core-sheath structures were used to adjust drug release properties along with improving the yarn's mechanical properties. The core parts were made of polycaprolactone and the sheath parts were made of polyethylene glycol, polylactic acid, and polycaprolactone. Drugs can be incorporated in both parts based on the required condition and application. Electrospun yarns were compared using both structural properties and their drug release profiles as metrics. The results of comparing drug release profiles of six electrospun yarns with different yarn counts and twists showed that yarns with finer fiber diameters in the core part have more drug release as well as more initial release. Overall evaluations showed that core-sheath drugloaded yarn with appropriate physical and mechanical properties can be a useful material as a drug delivery system to the site of damaged tissue. It can also be concluded that the amount and duration of drug release can be controlled using the structural parameters of electrospun yarns as an engineering tool for designing suture yarns with required properties.     

CONTROLS ON FRACTURE FLOW POTENTIAL IN A TIGHT CARBONATE RESERVOIR: SAYINDERE FORMATION (CAMPANIAN), WEST ADIYAMAN BASIN,SE TURKEY

Identifying controls on the permeability of fluid‐conductive fractures is critical in tight reservoirs, but this is challenging in tectonically complex regions such as foothills belts where there may have been multiple stages of deformation and fracturing. Fracture permeability depends on fracture aperture and connectivity, both of which are affected by tectonism and cementation. Among the many factors that control the cementation history, oil charging may play an important role. Important challenges in studies of fractured reservoirs in tectonically complex regions include determining the timing (and intensity) of fracturing events relative to that of the oil charge, verifying the presence of matrix storage, and establishing the fracture cementation history. This paper reports on a comparative fracture study of four small‐scale oilfields in the west Ad?yaman Basin, located within the foothills belt of the Tauride suture zone in SE Turkey. Here the tight reservoir carbonates of the Say?ndere Formation (Campanian) were subjected to repeated phases of structural deformation. Major deformation phases took place in Campanian and Maastrichtian times, before oil charging into the reservoir began in the Eocene; and in the Late Eocene – Oligocene and Late Miocene, after the oil charge. Fractures that were generated before oil emplacement appear to have been cemented or partially cemented by calcite as indicated by cross‐cutting cemented fractures on borehole images. Partially‐cemented fractures in cores are oil‐stained with cement‐lined walls, suggesting cementation began before oil emplacement but was not completed. Image logs and cores also show the presence of clean, open fractures with no cement present on the walls. These open fractures cut across the cemented or partially‐cemented fractures, and are in general related to Late Miocene compressional folding. Open fracture density is correlated to Late Miocene fold curvature and asymmetry in the four oilfields studied. Of these fields, the ?ambayat structure is the tightest and most asymmetric anticline and hence has the maximum open fracture density; this field also has the highest oil potential. Although the available data is not sufficient to evaluate the effects of oil charging on fracture cementation definitively, the observations are consistent with a model that oil charge into the fractured Say?ndere Formation carbonates inhibited or slowed calcite cementation. Hence fracturing of a carbonate reservoir after oil emplacement may significantly enhance the fracture permeability, and may even render a tight reservoir prospective.
