Design and application of a three-dimensional skeletonized structure for distal radius fracture splinting based on 3D printing technology by Ganggang Jia, Mingwang Zhou, Xing Ji, Zhiming Zhang, Yongqiang Zhao, Zhiling Xi

“…The test results demonstrate that, under pressure of 150 N, the radial offset of the 3D printed splint is reduced by 1.7 mm compared to that of the traditional small splint, with a corresponding decrease in stress by 0.01 MPa as well. In terms of weight, a set of 3D printed splints weighs 89 g while a set of conventional splints weighs 102 g, resulting in a significant reduction of 13 g for the 3D printed splints compared to their traditional counterparts. …”

NANOVESICLES IN THE GUT–BRAIN AXIS: INSIGHTS FROM PROBIOTIC SUPPLEMENTATION IN IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME

“…To further explore the mechanistic effects of probiotics, HT29 intestinal epithelial cells were treated with the probiotic mix in the presence (or not) of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) for inducing oxidative stress. The supplementation with the same probiotic mix used in the in vivo study exhibited a marked cytoprotective effect by attenuating the H₂O₂-induced stress response: e.g., probiotic exposure led to a significant reduction of HSP60 protein levels and to a restoration of tight junction proteins, putatively contributing to preserving/remodeling the epithelial barrier integrity. …”

Experimental study on mechanical behavior and response mechanism of triaxial loading-unloading drilling in impact coal under the effect of water content by Guang’an ZHU, Zihao XU, Huan LIU

“…As the stress levels rise, the stress around the drilling hole increases, the energy inside the coal body accumulates, and the deformation intensifies, the combined action of the two increases the amount of cuttings in drill pipe cutting; ④ In the range of water content less than 25%, as the water content increases, the increase of the liquid bridge force between the pulverized coal particles promotes the agglomeration and adhesion in the drilling hole, which leads to the reduction of drilling cuttings. …”
