Willingness to pay for social health insurance among informal sector workers in Wuhan, China: a contingent valuation study (2007)

Bärnighausen, Till, Liu, Yuanli, Zhang, Xinping, Sauerborn, Rainer

Abstract Background Most of the about 140 million informal sector workers in urban China do not have health insurance. A 1998 central government policy leaves it to the discretion of municipal...

Metallic photonic crystals based on solution-processible gold nanoparticles (2006)

Zhang, Xinping, Sun, Baoquan, Friend, Richard H., Guo, Hongcang, Nau, Dietmar, Giessen, Harald

We demonstrate the fabrication of metallic photonic crystals, in the form of a periodic array of gold nanowires on a waveguide, by spin-coating a colloidal gold suspension onto a photoresist mask and...

Improvement in Fatigue Lifetime of Ti-6Al-4V Alloy by Boron Implantation. (1998)

Zhang, Dawei, Zhang, Xinping, Yu, Weicheng, Wang, Zhongguang

Ti-6al-4v alloy with and without boron ion implantation has been tested in stress-controlled tension-zero fatigue conditions. the alloy was implanted at energies of 120 kev and with doses of 2*10(17)...

Cyclooxygenase-2 regulates mesenchymal cell differentiation into the osteoblast lineage and is critically involved in bone repair

Zhang, Xinping, Schwarz, Edward M., Young, Donald A., Puzas, J. Edward, Rosier, Randy N., O’Keefe, Regis J.

Preclinical and clinical studies suggest a possible role for cyclooxygenases in bone repair and create concerns about the use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs in patients with skeletal injury....

Lead Exposure Inhibits Fracture Healing and Is Associated with Increased Chondrogenesis, Delay in Cartilage Mineralization, and a Decrease in Osteoprogenitor Frequency

Carmouche, Jonathan J., Puzas, J. Edward, Zhang, Xinping, Tiyapatanaputi, Prarop, Cory-Slechta, Deborah A., Gelein, Robert, ...

Lead exposure continues to be a significant public health problem. In addition to acute toxicity, Pb has an extremely long half-life in bone. Individuals with past exposure develop increased blood Pb...

Remodeling of cortical bone allografts mediated by adherent rAAV-RANKL and VEGF gene therapy

Ito, Hiromu, Koefoed, Mette, Tiyapatanaputi, Prarop, Gromov, Kirill, Goater, J Jeffrey, Carmouche, Jonathan, ...

Structural allograft healing is limited because of a lack of vascularization and remodeling. To study this we developed a mouse model that recapitulates the clinical aspects of live autograft and...

Regulation of chondrogenesis and chondrocyte differentiation by stress

Zuscik, Michael J., Hilton, Matthew J, Zhang, Xinping, Chen, Di, O’Keefe, Regis J.

Chondrogenesis and endochondral ossification are the cartilage differentiation processes that lead to skeletal formation and growth in the developing vertebrate as well as skeletal repair in the...

Malignant Transformation and Antineoplastic Actions of Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs (Nsaids) on Cyclooxygenase-Null Embryo Fibroblasts

Zhang, Xinping, Morham, Scott G., Langenbach, Robert, Young, Donald A.

In this study, we use primary embryonic fibroblasts derived from cyclooxygenase-deficient transgenic embryos to further investigate the role of the two cyclooxygenases, cyclooxygenase 1 (COX-1) and...

NUMERICAL INVESTIGATIONS ON EFFECTS OF IMPACT VELOCITY AND SPRAY ANGLE OF PARTICLE ON ITS DEFORMATION BEHAVIOR IN COLD SPRAYING

XINPING ZHANG, XUEZHENG WANG, YUXUAN LI, GUANG CHEN

The cold spraying process is analyzed by numerical modeling of the impact between a single spherical particle and a substrate; the effects of impact velocity and spray angle of a particle on the...

The influence of health insurance towards accessing essential medicines: The experience from Shenzhen labor health insurance

Zhu, Minmin, Dib, Hassan H., Zhang, Xinping, Tang, Shengchun, Liu, Liqun

Objectives Due to major problems of accessing essential medicines, this paper will evaluate the impact of the new Shenzhen labor health insurance on accessing essential medicines among migrant...

A Perspective: Engineering Periosteum for Structural Bone Graft Healing

Zhang, Xinping, Awad, Hani A., O’Keefe, Regis J., Guldberg, Robert E., Schwarz, Edward M.

Autograft is superior to both allograft and synthetic bone graft in repair of large structural bone defect largely due to the presence of multipotent mesenchymal stem cells in periosteum. Recent...
