Hydromorphone(10 mg) was dispensed into a 100 ml PCA pump with normal saline. Pump administration was initiated 15 min before the start of the procedure, and the intraoperative dose was adjusted according to patient pain level. A numerical rating scale was used to evaluate pain immediately after embolization, 5 min after embolization, at the end of the procedure, and 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h after the procedure. Side effects were also observed.Results: Thirty-three patients underwent uterine artery embolization via the right radial artery. Patient pain was well controlled at all time points surveyed, and patients reported satisfaction with analgesia. The median length of hospital stay was 5 days. There were 7 cases of adverse reactions, but no serious side effects were observed.Conclusion: Patients reported positive experiences with arterial embolization of uterine fibroids via the right radial artery. Hydromorphone PCA effectively controlled pain. The PCA pump is easy to operate, has a low incidence of adverse reactions, and offers economic benefits at the patient and institutional levels.展开更多

The stress corrosion cracking(SCC) susceptibility of 2297 Al-Li alloy in 1 M Na Cl +0.01 M H2O2 solution(CP solution) and 1 M NaCl + 0.01 M H2O2+ 0.6 M Na2SO4 solution(CPS solution) was investigated by slow-strain rat...The stress corrosion cracking(SCC) susceptibility of 2297 Al-Li alloy in 1 M Na Cl +0.01 M H2O2 solution(CP solution) and 1 M NaCl + 0.01 M H2O2+ 0.6 M Na2SO4 solution(CPS solution) was investigated by slow-strain rate tests at various strain rates ranging from 10-5s(-1) to 10-7s-1. The roles of H2O2 and SO42-in the corrosion process were estimated by potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. 2297 Al-Li alloy does not fracture ascribed to SCC in CP solution, while it undergoes SCC in CPS solution. In CPS solution,with a decreasing strain rate from 10-5s(-1) to 10-7s-1, the SCC susceptibility firstly rises and then declines exhibiting a peak value at a strain rate of 10-6s-1. H2O2 promotes the active dissolution while SO42- lowers the corrosion rate. The SCC fracture is associated with a decline in the dissolution rate of the crack tip by SO42-, which leads to stress concentration. In CPS solution, a reduction in the local dissolution rate of the crack tip leads to stress concentration, resulting in SCC fracture.As the preferred initiation site for a crack, pits also show a noteworthy effect on SCC of 2297 Al-Li alloy.展开更多

Slow strain rate tests(SSRTs) and electrochemical tests were used to study the effects of dry/wet ratio(DWR) and pre-immersion on SCC.Fracture and side surface characterizations were observed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The results demonstrate that SCC susceptibility decreases with an increase of the DWR. With an increase of the pre-immersion time, both continuous pre-immersion(CP) and wet-dry cyclic preimmersion(WDP) samples are more sensitive to SCC, and the cracking mode in the SCC fracture region is intergranular. Furthermore, the effect of WDP on SCC is greater than that of CP when the total time immersed in solution before an SSRT is the same with each other. In fact, each single wetdry cycle can be divided into three processes with respect to the change of solution on samples' surface. Volatilization of water on the surface results in an increase in solute concentration, thus accelerating corrosion.展开更多

In order to evaluate the corrosion properties of these metals, the bimodal grain size 7075 aviation aluminum alloys containing different ratios of coarse(100 μm in diameter) and fine(10 μm in diameter) grains were prepared by spark plasma sintering(SPS). The effects of grain size as well as the mixture degree of coarse and fine grains on general corrosion were estimated by immersion tests, electrochemical measurements and complementary techniques such as scanning electron microscope(SEM) and transmission electron microscope-energy disperse spectroscopy(TEM-EDS). The results show that, compared to fine grains, the coarse grains have a faster dissolution rate in acidic NaCl solution due to the bigger size,higher alloying elements content and larger area fraction of second phases in them. In coarse grains,the hydrogen ions have a faster reduction rate on cathodic second phases, therefore promoting the corrosion propagation. The mixture of coarse and fine grains also increases the electrochemical heterogeneity of alloys in micro-scale, and thus the increased mixture degree of these grains in metal matrix accelerates the corrosion rate of alloys in acidic NaCl solution.展开更多
