Abstract: A bioactive orthopedic implant is provided defined as a rod with a surface and a treated surface area for increased surface area, a freeze-dried hydrophilic hydrogel network physically cross-linked via charged polymers and salt-ions onto the treated surface area, biologies trapped and thereby hosted within the hydrogel network, and covalently reactive macromonomers chemically cross-linked within the hydrogel network to strengthen the hydrogel network itself and to the rod. The surface area of the bioactive orthopedic implant can be coated with covalently linkable molecules which are chemical cross-linked with the covalently reactive macromonomers to increase adhesion of the chemically and physically cross-linked hydrophilic hydrogel network to the rod. The rod can be an interconnected porous rod and where the biologies is hosted with pores of the interconnected porous rod. The bioactive orthopedic implant can be sized for implantation in between two bone segments, a bone tunnel, or a fracture.

Abstract: A locking mechanism and a cooking machine are provided for home appliances. The locking mechanism is provided on a control panel of the cooking machine and used to control the door-opening button of the cooking machine. The door-opening button is provided with a door-opening member for opening the door of the cooking machine. The locking mechanism switches the door-opening button selectively in a locked state or an unlocked state; the door cannot be opened even if the door-opening button is pressed in the locked state, and the door can be opened if the door-opening button is pressed in the unlocked state. The locking mechanism provided by the present invention is small in size and good in versatility, and can lock the door fundamentally in the door-opening operation, thus realizing simpler and more effective protection and hence ensuring use safety of users especially the children.
