Article Synopsis
- Polymeric hydrogels offer a safe and effective way to recycle waste propellants, maintaining their explosive performance while enhancing mechanical properties.
- The study produced a double cross-linked energetic hydrogel, optimizing factors like kinematic viscosity (ideal at 129.7 mm/s) and compressive strength, with peak strength at 5% MBAA content and 40 °C.
- An effective balance of mechanical and explosive traits was found with 6% acrylamide and 4% glass microspheres, achieving a notable detonation velocity of 4536 m/s, highlighting its potential for managing waste munitions.
The treatment of chronic wound is an important topic of current clinical issue. Neovascularization plays a crucial role in skin wound healing by delivering fresh nutrients and oxygen to the wound area. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanisms of urolithin A (UA) in angiogenesis during wound healing.

Recently, cancer-specific circRNA circPRKAR1B has been identified by high-throughput sequencing and is recorded in publicly available databases. Nevertheless, the detailed functions and underlying mechanisms of circPRKAR1B in OS remains poorly understood.

Plasma concentration of Hcy is elevated in the pathological condition hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy), which increases the risk of disorders of the vascular, nervous and musculoskeletal systems, including chondrocyte dysfunction. The present study aimed to explore the role of Hcy in intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), using a range of techniques.
