Due to their excellent mechanical properties and good biocompatibility, titanium alloys have
become a popular research topic in the field of medical metal implants. However, the …

Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are widely used in clinical practice as preferred materials for bone
tissue repair and replacement because of their good mechanical properties; however, as Ti …

Background Numerous studies have evaluated the association between the apolipoprotein
E (apoE) gene polymorphisms in coronary heart disease (CHD). However, the results remain …

Titanium and its alloys are the most widely used implants in clinical practice. However, their
bioactivity is unsatisfactory, and the effect of osteogenesis on the bonding interface between …

The pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) is reduced in chronic heart
failure and remains decreased after heart transplantation. This decrease in DLCO may …

Objectives Recently, direct stenting has been shown in retrospective and randomized studies
to be feasible and safe in highly selected patients, with a potential interest to reduce the …

Tantalum (Ta) is well known for its excellent workability, fatigue resistance and fracture
toughness. However, it does not show bone-bonding ability (ie bioactivity). In the present work, …

Although titanium (Ti) and its alloys have been widely used as implants in clinical settings,
failures still occur mainly due to poor bioactivity and implant-associated infections. Here, we …

Seeking effective methods to degrade organic pollutants has always been a hot research
field. In this work, MoS 2 /Fe 3 O 4 catalyst was synthesized by hydrothermal method with MoS …

Because the cardiocirculatory response of heart transplant recipients (HTR) to exercise is
delayed, we hypothesized that their O 2 uptake (Vo 2 ) kinetics at the onset of subthreshold …
