Background: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a type of interstitial lung disease characterized by chronic inflammation due to persistent lung damage. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), including those derived from the umbilical cord (UCMSCs) and placenta (PLMSCs), have been utilized in clinical trials for IPF treatment. However, the varying therapeutic effectiveness between these two MSC types remains unclear.

Understanding the mechanisms behind MYC-driven oncogenic transformation could pave the way for identifying novel drug targets. This study explored the role of CREPT in MYC-induced malignancy by generating MYC-transformed mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) with conditional CREPT deletion. Our results demonstrated that the loss of CREPT significantly impaired MYC-induced colony formation and cell proliferation, indicating that CREPT is essential for the malignant transformation of MEFs.

During the oilfield development process, various factors can cause different types of reservoir damage, leading to reduced oil well production or even shutdown, and decreased water injection capacity in water wells, resulting in significant economic losses for the oilfield. However, formation damage control measures must be based on the quantitative diagnosis of the types and degrees of reservoir damage. This paper establishes a spatiotemporal evolution numerical model for 12 common types of damage during the oil and gas exploration and development process, based on the material balance theory and Fick's diffusion law in reservoir damage processes.

This study addresses the performance challenges of Synthetic-Based Drilling Fluids (SBDF) in deep wells and high-temperature environments by engineering a novel multiple hydrogen-bonded crosslinked polymer, MBAH/nano-SiO. Synthesized using methyl methacrylate (MMA), butyl methacrylate (BMA), acrylic acid (AA), N-hydroxyethyl acrylamide (HEAA), and nano-silica (nano-SiO), the polymer improved crosslinking density, thermal properties, particle size distribution, and colloidal stability. The development of a 'weak gel' structure in W/O emulsions improved rheology and electrical stability (ES), with ES values reaching up to 775 V after aging at 180 °C.

When drilling into a reservoir, the drilling fluid containing bentonite is prone to solid phase invasion, causing serious damage to the reservoir, and the conventional API barite suspension stability is poor, which makes it easy to cause sedimentation and blockage. Therefore, in order to avoid accidents, we use ultrafine barite to obtain a good suspension stability. More importantly, the method of modifying zwitterionic polymers on the surface of nano-silica is used to develop a temperature-resistant and salt-resistant fluid loss reducer FATG with a core-shell structure, and it is applied to ultra-fine clay-free water-based drilling fluid (WBDF).

The uses of granular hydrogels to assemble macroscopic bulk hydrogels display numerous distinct advantages. However, prior assembly of bulk hydrogels is accomplished by interparticle linking strategy, which compromised mechanical property and thermal stability under hostile conditions. To expand their applications as engineering soft materials, self-regenerative granular hydrogels via a seamless integrating approach to regenerate bulk hydrogels is highly desirable.

This work investigated the effect of the alkyl chain length of soluble methylimidazolium bromide ionic liquids (ILs) on their inhibition performance. The IL with a shorter alkyl chain length showed superior inhibition performance by suppressing clay swelling, mitigating clay dispersion, at room temperature. Particularly, the IL with an alkyl chain length of two (EmBr) reduced the sodium bentonite (Na-BT) swelling degree to 89% and achieved a cutting recovery of 81.

Production of oil and gas energy is often greatly hindered by reservoir formation damage, particularly the occurrences of water sensitivity and water locking damages on a low-permeability reservoir. For the purpose of this paper, a formation damage assessment methodology combining core flooding experiment and NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) relaxation tests is performed and applied to quantitatively determine water sensitivity/water locking damage on sandstone oil formation. XRD tests are used to analyze the mineral composition of cores.

This work attempted to establish the relationship between the dispersion morphology and the viscous flow behavior of clay dispersions in soybean oil fatty acid ethyl ester (FAEE) at 2 and 65 °C. The clays used in this study include raw montmorillonite (Mt) and three kinds of organoclays prepared by ion exchange modification of Mt by cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (OC16), dihexadecyldimethylammonium chloride (ODC16), and trihexadecylmethylammonium chloride (OTC16), respectively. The X-ray diffraction and water contact angle results demonstrated that greater alkyl chain number of surfactants led to greater interlayer space and stronger hydrophobicity of organoclays.

The continuous time random walk (CTRW) is often applied to the study of particle motion in disordered media. Yet most such applications do not allow for particle-particle (walker-walker) interaction. In this paper, we consider a CTRW with particle-particle interaction; however, for simplicity, we restrain the interaction to be local.

Brine reaction and precipitation in porous media sometimes occur in the presence of a strong fluid flowing field, which induces the mobilization of the precipitated salts and distorts their spatial distribution. It is interesting to investigate how the distribution responds to such mobilization. We view these precipitates as random walkers in the complex inner space of the porous media, where they make stochastic jumps among locations and possibly wait between successive transitions.
