Continuous loading on asphalt pavements induces fatigue damage at the interface between the asphalt binder and aggregate or within the binder itself. The understanding of asphalt's fatigue response is considered crucial for the prolongation of pavement service life. Variable stress fatigue tests were conducted on asphalt binders, with conditions such as stress amplitude being altered to analyze fatigue performance and life.

Article Synopsis
  • Cervical spondylosis (CS) is a common condition that affects life quality, with limited effectiveness from traditional treatments; electroacupuncture (EA) is being explored as a new treatment option.
  • In a study using a rat model of cervical intervertebral disk degeneration (CIDD), EA showed potential by altering the IL-22/JAK2-STAT3 signaling pathway, which plays a key role in the health of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells.
  • Results indicated that EA significantly reduced cell apoptosis and inflammation in NP tissues by modulating various cytokines and proteins linked to inflammation, suggesting a promising therapeutic effect for managing CS.
