    Improvement in Corrosion Resistance of Tantalum Oxide and Tantalum Oxide with Diethanolamine Sol–Gel Coated Magnesium Alloys
    (Pleiades Publishing, 2022) Gül C.; Albayrak S.; Çinici H.; Aytaç A.
    Abstract: In this study, corrosion resistance was developed to ensure that AZ91 Mg alloy remains stable in the body for longer periods. For this purpose, tantalum oxide and tantalum oxide with diethanolamine coatings were made by sol–gel method on AZ91 magnesium alloy surfaces. The structural analyses of tantalum oxide and tantalum oxide with diethanolamine obtained by sol–gel method were carried out. By using the dip coating method, coatings with different concentrations of solutions and different dipping numbers were applied on AZ91 Mg alloy surfaces. Thus, the effects of dipping numbers and chemical content of the solution on the coating thicknesses, surface roughnesses, morphologies and corrosion resistances of coating layers were examined. As a result, it was determined that the coating thicknesses increased with the dipping number. The low number of dipping could not provide sufficient protective layer formation on the surface. Better results were obtained in samples with a high dipping numbers. It was observed that needle-like structures were formed in the solution using diethanolamine. As the amount of diethanolamine increased, a more homogeneous and dense coating layer was observed. Accordingly, an increase in corrosion resistance has been observed. It was determined that the corrosion rate of AZ91 Mg alloy has decreased by 86% with increasing dipping number and diethanolamine amount. © 2022, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.

    The studies evaluating the impact of Her2 levels in neoadjuvant setting have conflicting data. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prognostic impact of Her2 status in early triple negative breast cancer(TNBC). In the study TNBC patients who were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and surgery were analyzed retrospectively. The primary aim of the study was to analyze the impact of Her2 status(Her2-0 and Her2-low) on pathological complete response (pCR). The secondary objectives were disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). 620 female triple negative breast cancer patients were evaluated. 427 patients (68.9%) had Her2-0 and 193(31.1%) had her2-low pathology. The pCR rates were similar between Her2-0 and Her2-low patients (33.0% vs. 27.5%, p = 0.098). Although Her2-0 group has better DFS (106 vs. 50 months, p = 0.002), in multivariate analysis it had a HR of 0.74 (p = 0.06). In addition, OS was similar (131 vs. 105 months, p = 0.13) with a HR of 0.88 (p = 0.61). In multivariate analysis; presence of LVI (HR:2.2 (95% CI 1.1–3.5) p = 0.001), Clinical stage T1/T2 (HR:0.39 (95% CI 0.2–0.6) p < 0.001) and lymph node negativity (HR:0.35 (95% CI 0.1–0.9) p = 0.03) were independent factors for OS. Although there were pathological and clinical differences, the pCR, DFS and OS were similar between Her2-0 and Her2-low TNBC patients. The importance of Her2 status of TNBC in neoadjuvant setting should be further studied. © The Author(s) 2024.
