Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common that causes serious damage. Exercise recognized as non-pharmacological tool to improve the pathology of NAFLD. However, antioxidative effects and mechanisms by which exercise ameliorates NAFLD remain unclear. The present study conducted training on zebrafish during 12-week high-fat feeding period antioxidant effect liver. We found swimming decreased lipid accumulation improved pathological changes in diet-fed zebrafish. Moreover,...
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common metabolic disease that frequently accompanied by multiple complications, including diabetic myopathy, muscle disorder mainly manifested as decreased function and reduced mass. Diabetic myopathy relatively complication among patients with attributed to mitochondrial dysfunction. Therefore, we investigated the mechanisms underlying development, focusing on role of microRNAs (miRs). Zebrafish were fed high-sugar diet for 8 weeks immersed in glucose...
For decades, bridge slabs have been troubled by the corrosion of steel reinforcement. The unique resistance glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars makes them a promising alternative to bars. Experiments conducted investigate bond performance GFRP reinforced concrete under constant amplitude cyclic fatigue loading. Each specimen was an identical length beam with single bar at bottom, intended simulate transverse strip typical deck slab. crack growth monitored for specimens different...
Experimental results show that the crack growth of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforced concrete flexural elements experience a development stage followed by stabilization. The length and elastic mouth opening displacement (CMOD) increase during until reaching stabilization stage. A finite-element representation was proposed to predict initial CMOD. debonded specified account for bond-slip between FRP bar concrete. It assumed there no tangential reinforcement outside length. fatigue...
Highway engineers must conduct pavement evaluations before making rehabilitation decisions. Deflection tests performed at a uniform spacing are often used for structural evaluation purposes. The between adjacent is determined empirically. For pavements with large variability, more needed. Variability usually measured by the coefficient of variation ( CV). Several methods determining test were reviewed. A new method proposed to calculate based on equivalent CV e ), which considers not only...
A bridge construction firm manufactured precast concrete slabs for the deck replacement of a major East Coast bridge. The slab segments were removed from casting bed, transported to lay-down site, and supported on dunnage. Cracks started appear soon after. authors retained determine cause cracking, feasibility repair, potential repair methods. Based our analysis, cracking was due excessive tensile stresses caused by configuration differential settlement temporary supports at laydown site....
