Numerical Analysis of Pile-Supported Reinforced Embankments in Deep Soft Soil Regions Based on Soft Soil Creep Parameter Optimization by Wei-Kang Lin, Bin Mao, Bing Duan, Xiao-Wu Tang, Xiao-Dong Pan, Hao-Chen Xue, Hong-Yue Sun

“…A numerical model was established based on actual engineering to study the effects of different pile lengths and spacing on settlement, soil arching, and reinforcement material stress. Key findings include as follows: (1) The SSC model outperforms the Mohr–Coulomb and soft soil models in predicting settlement and stress concentrations. (2) An optimized SSC parameter selection process is proposed, providing reference values for typical soft soils in Zhejiang, China. (3) Settlement increases significantly when pile spacing exceeds 2.8 m in this project, suggesting the existence of a threshold effect of pile spacing on settlement. (4) Increasing pile length reduces differential settlement and the tensile force on reinforcement material, with differential settlement decreasing from 0.268 to 0.114 mm and tensile force dropping from 106 to 89 kN/m as pile length increases from 24 to 30 m. …”

Mito-tempol and dexrazoxane exhibit cardioprotective and chemotherapeutic effects through specific protein oxidation and autophagy in a syngeneic breast tumor preclinical model. by Jennifer S Dickey, Yanira Gonzalez, Baikuntha Aryal, Steven Mog, Asako J Nakamura, Christophe E Redon, Ulrich Baxa, Elliot Rosen, Gang Cheng, Jacek Zielonka, Palak Parekh, Karen P Mason, Joy Joseph, Balaraman Kalyanaraman, William Bonner, Eugene Herman, Emily Shacter, V Ashutosh Rao

“…To demonstrate the utility of the SHR/SST-2 model for monitoring both anticancer efficacy and cardiotoxicity, we tested cardiotoxic doxorubicin alone and in combination with an established cardioprotectant, dexrazoxane, or a nitroxide conjugated to a triphenylphosphonium cation, Mito-Tempol (4) [Mito-T (4)]. As predicted, tumor reduction and cardiomyopathy were demonstrated by doxorubicin. …”

Differentiated Prevention of Cardiac Complications of Extracardiac Surgery by A. N. Korniyenko, O. R. Dobrushina, E. P. Zinina

“…The latter were divided into 3 types: 1) coronary complications due to the inconsistency of oxygen delivery and consumption; 2) coronary ones due to atherosclerotic plaque rupture, followed by coronary artery thrombosis; 3) worsening heart failure. To predict different types of complications, one must focus attention on the following signs and, if needed, perform additional studies: 1) the functional class of exertional angina, stress tests (stress echocardiography using dobutamine or other agents), coronary angiography, and blood troponin T and I levels for Type 1; 2) the signs of the extent of the atherosclerotic process and the blood levels of C-reactive protein and other inflammatory markers for Type 2; 3) the clinical signs of heart failure and the blood levels of natriuretic peptides for Type 3. …”
