Quantitative evaluation of long-term liver repopulation and the reconstitution of bile ductules after hepatocellular transplantation

Conventional (CCT) and accelerated (ACT) creep tests of a weld joint made of COST F and COST FB2 steels were carried out over a temperature range from 550 °C to 650 °C. Fracturing of the crept specimens was located in the heat affected zone (HAZ) of the F steel. Two specimens were selected after CCT and ACT for quantitative evaluation of the precipitates and compared to the weld joint in as-received conditions. Scanning and transmission electron micrographs were used to measure the precipitate size. Both methods were compared and the accuracy of the results was discussed. It was concluded that ACT can simulate the precipitation of chromium carbides and structure recovery during long term creep exposures. However, precipitation of Laves phase during CCT was not recorded after ACT. Therefore, it is difficult to use ACT in this experiment for estimating the long term creep strength.

Series Of Experiments

To elaborate a method of quantitative evaluation of instable spiral tibial bones fractures as the basis for differential approach to secondary displacement prevention, x-rays of 312 patients were analyzed and a series of experiments to study spiral fractures peculiarities was performed. The factors responsible for the instable pattern of spiral tibial fractures were detected. Quantitative index of the risk of secondary displacement was calculated and preventive measures were elaborated on their basis. Proposed recommendations on secondary displacement prevention were used as a basis for the treatment of 83 patients using Matsukidis - Shevtsov apparatus. Long-term treatment results were studied in 59 (71%) patients. Excellent and good results were achieved in 51 (86.5%) and 8 (13.5%) patients, respectively. Neither satisfactory nor poor results were observed.
