A method of low-temperature liquid-phase sintering was used to prepare SrB 2 Si 2 O 8 glass-ceramics in order to simulate immobilization of 90 Sr, and the SrOB 2 O 3 system as a flux could avoid new impurities to be introduced into the solidified body. The sintering behaviors, mechanical properties and solidification behaviors of SrB 2 Si 2 O 8 were investigated. The crystalline phase of SrB 2 Si 2 O 8 was formed by liquid phase sintering at 1223 K. Additionally, adding Ca 2+ improves the sintering behavior and mechanical properties of samples. The stable mineral phase of SrB 2 Si 2 O 8 is helpful to achieve a perfect effect on the immobilization of Sr. The Sr 2+ leak mainly from the glass phase. Our results suggest that the key to resisting the leaking of Sr 2+ is to form not only stable mineral phases but also stable glass phases.

“…As a result, syndromic patients are reported to have greater intraoperative transfusion needs, greater reoperation requirements, poorer cosmesis, and worse intellectual outcomes. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] The application of passive approaches to syndromic craniosynostosis has not been reviewed to date. A 2018 meta-analysis from Goyal and colleagues 14 demonstrated decreased blood loss, operative time, length of stay, and rates of perioperative complications, reoperation, and transfusion in endoscopic approaches, but did not stratify by syndromic status.…”

Background: Endoscopically assisted craniofacial surgery (EACS) has numerous advantages over traditional, open approaches, such as fronto-orbital advancement in treating nonsyndromic craniosynostosis. However, several articles report high reoperation rates in syndromic patients treated with EACS. This meta-analysis and review examines undesirable outcome rates (UORs), defined as reoperation or Whitaker category III/IV, in syndromic patients undergoing primary EACS compared with procedures that actively expand the cranial vault. Methods: PubMed and Embase were searched in June 2022 to identify all articles reporting primary reoperation or Whitaker outcomes for syndromic patients undergoing cranial vault expanding surgery or suturectomy. A meta-analysis of proportions was performed comparing UORs, and a trim-and-fill adjustment method was used to validate sensitivity and assess publication bias. Results: A total of 721 articles were screened. Five EACS articles (83 patients) and 22 active approach articles (478 patients) met inclusion criteria. Average UORs for EACS and active approaches were 26% (14%–38%) and 20% (13%–28%), respectively (P = 0.18). Reoperation occurred earlier in EACS patients (13.7 months postprimary surgery versus 37.1 months for active approaches, P = 0.003). Relapse presentations and reason for reoperation were also reviewed. Subjectively, EACS UORs were higher in all syndromes except Apert, and Saethre-Chotzen patients had the highest UOR for both approaches. Conclusions: There was no statistically significant increase in UORs among syndromic patients treated with EACS compared with traditional approaches, although EACS patients required revision significantly sooner. Uncertainties regarding the long-term efficacy of EACS in children with syndromic craniosynostosis should be revisited as more data become available.
