Experimental Study on Mechanical Properties of Polypropylene: Steel Fiber Concrete and Loading Characteristics of Shaft Lining by Bendong Qin, Shuo Li, Jiaqi Guo, Shaofeng Liu, Xiliang Liu, Yongbiao Lai, Hailiang Li

“…Combining the failure characteristics of the two shaft lining models, the following conclusions are obtained: The ultimate bearing capacity of PHSC shaft lining is hardly affected by fibers, but the hoop displacement is significantly reduced and the circumferential stability of shaft lining has been greatly improved, the initial cracks appeared late, the speed of crack’s propagation is reduced, and no obvious concrete peeling and separation appeared during damage. The comprehensive performance of SPHFRC shaft lining is excellent, which has better ductility and anti-deformation ability.…”

Augmenter of Liver Regeneration (ALR) Protects Kidney from Ischemia/Reperfusion (I/R) Injury via Regulation of TLR4/MAPK Signaling Pathway by Ying Li, Yanying Xiong, Huihui Li, Yan Luo, Ling Zhang, Qin Zhang, Weijian Xiong, Haitao Tu

“…In this study, rats induced by renal I/R were treated with recombinant human ALR (rhALR) and demonstrated that the animals were protected from kidney I/R injury, implying that the rhALR-treated rats had less tubular damage than those untreated rats. Meanwhile, tubular epithelial cell apoptosis, neutrophil (24 h) and macrophage (72 h) infiltration to tubulointerstitium, and levels of inflammatory cytokines were decreased considerably in the rhALR-treated rats as compared to control. …”
