Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of a New TWIP Steel under Different Heat Treatments.

The effects of solution treatment and annealing temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a new TWIP steel that was alloyed from aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), vanadium (V), and molybdenum (Mo) elements were investigated by a variety of techniques such as microstructural characterization and room tensile testing. The austenite grain size grew slowly with the increase in annealing temperature. The relatively weak effect of the solution treatment and annealing temperature on the austenite grain size was attributed to the precipitation of MC and MC, which hindered the growth of the austenite grain.

Safety of YAG laser vitreolysis for intraocular tissues: analysis of postoperative complications.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety of yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) laser vitreolysis for intraocular tissues.

Methods: Thirty-six New Zealand rabbits were divided as follows: Group 1000 (n = 12) treated with YAG laser of 1000 mJ (5 mJ × 200 shots), Group 2000 (n = 12) treated with YAG laser of 2000 mJ (5 mJ × 400 shots), Group 3000 (n = 12) treated with YAG laser of 3000 mJ (5 mJ × 600 shots). Either a single eye was chosen as the study eye in study groups while the other was untreated as the control group.

Sutureless Intrascleral Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens Fixation: Analysis of Clinical Outcomes and Postoperative Complications.

Purpose: To report a technique for performing sutureless intrascleral fixation of a posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC-IOL) and analyzing the clinical outcomes and postoperative complications. . 68 eyes of 66 patients who received the technique were studied retrospectively.

2,3,5,4'-Tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-Glucoside modulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells injury under oxidative stress.

Endothelial cell injury is a major contributor to cardiovascular diseases. The 2,3,5,4'-Tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-Glucoside (TSG) contributes to alleviate human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) injury through mechanisms still know a little. This study aims to clarify the TSG effects on gene expression (mRNA and microRNA) related to oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress induced by HO in HUVECs.

SIRT1 Is the Target Gene for 2,3,5,4'-Tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-Glucoside Alleviating the HUVEC Senescence.

This study aimed to explore the effects of 2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxy-stilbene-2-O-β-d-glucoside (TSG) on the senescence of human umbilical vein cells (HUVEC) induced by hydrogen peroxide (HO) and to identify the potential targets mediating its protective action. HUVEC cells pre-treated with TSG for 24 h were exposed to HO treatment. TSG significantly decreased HO-induced cellular senescence, as indicated by reduced senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) positive staining, the proportion of cells in the G1 phase, cell apoptosis, p21, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) expression.

Tetrahydroxystilbene glucoside alleviates angiotensin II induced HUVEC senescence via SIRT1.

Tetrahydroxystilbene glucoside (TSG), an active ingredient of , has been known for certain anti-aging effects. In this study, the possible protective mechanism of TSG on human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) senescence induced by angiotensin II (Ang II) was investigated. The results revealed that TSG pretreatment could reduce the percentage of senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) positive cells and decrease the expression levels of the cellular senescence biomarker proteins p53 and PAI-1.
