Micro-hardness of the un-degraded Mg-Zn-Y-Nd, and the Mg-Zn-YNd alloy immersed in the culture medium for 1 and 3 days.

Note: Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 10). *P < 0.05 (one-way analysis of variance). Sample 1: Un-degraded Mg-Zn-Y-Nd. Samples 2 and 3: Mg-Zn-Y-Nd immersed in the culture medium for 1 day. Samples 4 and 5: Mg-Zn-Y-Nd immersed in the culture medium for 3 days. Samples 2 and 4 were obtained before removing the degradation products; and samples 3 and 5 were obtained after removing the degradation products.
