Intussusception is common in children. Double simultaneous intussusception is a peculiar variety of intussusception with only 14 previously reported cases. We report a unique case of a child who suffered from double simultaneous intussusception with two lead points (Meckel’s diverticulum and intestinal duplication). The patient was successfully treated with manual reduction along with resection of Meckel’s diverticulum and intestinal duplication. The child recovered well.

Atropine ST is safe, effective and cost-effective as compared with operation; however, the efficacy of ST is lower than operation.

We successfully improved the interfacial adhesion strength between ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber and resin by the surface modification of UHMWPE fiber with two kinds of SiO2 nanoparticles through gel spinning process. Modified effect of treated SiO2 nanoparticles by coupling agent was superior to original SiO2 nanoparticles. Compared with unmodified fibers, pull‐out tests of modified UHMWPE/treated SiO2 fibers revealed that interfacial adhesion strength increased by the maximum of 10.95%, but corresponding breaking strength decreased by 8.51%. In addition, the interfacial adhesion strength and breaking strength could continue to enhance with increasing the additive amount of treated SiO2 nanoparticles. The results of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) indicated that the crystallinity of all modified fibers decreased while crystallite dimension increased, and the surface of modified fibers by treated SiO2 nanoparticles exhibited polar functional group (C=O). The superiority of this modified technology was that it realized the bulk industrial production and maneuverability, low cost, and no pollution. POLYM.

In the present work, three experimental WC-17 Co plasma sprayed coatings were developed from submicrostructured, conventional and bimodal (composing of 30 wt.% submicrostuctured and 70 wt.% conventional WC grain) agglomerated powder. The effect of carbide size distribution on the microstructure, phase structure and properties such as microhardness, fracture toughness and sliding wear performance of three coatings were measured. The experimental results indicated that bimodal coating had little porosity of microstructure with lower degree of decarburization of the WC phase to W 2 C and Co 6 W 6 C phases, consequently, showed both high microhardness and fracture toughness, e.g. the microhardness is similar to that of the submicrostuctured one and the fracture toughness is comparable to that of the conventional one. The coefficient of friction for the coatings decreased slightly with increasing test load, and that friction coefficient of bimodal coating was lower than the other ones. The wear loss of both submicrostuctured and conventional coatings were higher than the bimodal coating and increased with increasing test load. The microscopic analyses of the wear surface showed the cobalt extrusion followed by carbide fracture, or pulled out were the predominant failure mechanism. Besides that, fatigue cracking of the submicrostuctured coating at a high test load played an importance on the wear mechanism.
