[Studies on personalized porous titanium implant fabricated using three-dimensional printing forming technique].
Three-dimensional printing (3DP) forming technology can shape personalized porous implant material with complex shape and fine structure to meet the various needs of different patients. In this paper, the green parts of porous titanium implants with diameter 25 mm x 20 mm were prepared using 3DP, and then debinded at 500 degrees C under vacuum. Finally they were sintered in the argon gas at 1 300 degrees C. ⋯ The results of porosity, bulk density, Vickers hardness, compressive strength and elastic modulus were (44.26% +/- 2.43)%, (2.59 +/- 0.81)g/cm3, 134.2-151.6 (61.2 +/- 3.2) MPa, (3.25 +/- 1.08) GPa, respectively. That shows excellent biomechanical compatibility. It is concluded that 3DP has wide application for fabrication of personalized porous titanium implant.

[The effect of anesthetic concentration on burst-suppression of the EEG in rats].
The term "burst-suppression" is used to describe the electroencephalogram (EEG) pattern characterized by theta or delta waves, at times intermixed with faster waves, and intervening periods of relative quiescence. Burst-suppression pattern can reflect the seriously suppressed brain activity under deep anesthesia. ⋯ The result also showed that the composition of carrier gas (i. e. pure oxygen vs. mixed oxygen) did not influence the effect of anesthesia significantly; and the four indexes of burst-suppression features could keep relatively stable within 60 min under the isoflurane concentration of 2%. The present study provides quantitative information of burst-suppression features under different anesthetic depth and may help to develop a clinically satisfied system that could quantify the characteristics of EEG and rigorously evaluate the cerebral state of patients.
