Study on the Flow Corrosion Behavior of L360 Steel in Simulated Formation Water by YE Nan, LIAO Jun, XIAN Jun, WEN Shuobo, TAN Min, HE Guoxi

“… In order to study the corrosion behavior of L360 steel at the pipe wall of water-containing gathering and transportation pipelines under real flow conditions， a self-made cyclic flow corrosion test device was used.The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic scanning methods were used to analyze the corrosion electrochemical characteristics of L360 steel.The scanning electron microscope and three-dimensional optical microscope were used to analyze the corrosion micromorphology.Results showed that the average corrosion rate of the test piece increased with the increase of flow rate，and the local corrosion rate presented a trend of first decreasing and then increasing.Properly increasing the flow rate could slow down the local corrosion rate.After the loop was run for 4 h， a relatively complete corrosion product film began to form on the surface of the sample.When the flow rate reached 0.5 m/s， the corrosion product film on the pipe wall began to detach.For clean and smooth samples， the initial stage of corrosion belonged to extremely severe corrosion.…”

Individualized surgical treatment using decellularized fish skin transplantation after enzymatic debridement: A two years retrospective analysis by Gerrit Freund, Benedikt Schäfer, Justus P. Beier, Anja M. Boos

“…Over the past few years, treatment of burn injuries has evolved beyond primary surgical therapy with the development of enzymatic debridement and new types of skin replacement materials by providing complex personalized therapy concepts aimed at preserving and replacing the dermal layer of the skin.The aim of our study was to develop an individualized treatment algorithm for mixed depth burn wound and evaluate the outcomes of individualized combined treatment of mixed depth burn wounds with enzymatic debridement and decellularized fish skin.A total of 18 patients with a mean age of 34.8 years and mean follow-up of 447.6 days were included. The mean total burn surface area was 12.3%. All patients received enzymatic debridement and an average area of 247.2 cm2 of decellularized fish skin. …”
