This paper introduced a study for a new system that consists of one unit with mixed standby units. The mathematical model for the system is constructed using semi-Markov model with regenerative point technique in two cases: the first case when there is preventive maintenance provided to the main unit and the second case when there is no preventive maintenance in the system. Life and repair times of the units in the system are assumed to be generally distributed with fuzzy parameters defined by the bell-shaped membership function. A Numerical application is introduced to compare the performance of the system in the two cases.

Macrophages are central to the progression from hepatitis to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with their remarkable plasticity and ability to adapt to the changing liver microenvironment. Chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and ultimately tumorigenesis are driven by macrophage activation, making them key regulators of liver disease progression. This review explores the diverse roles of macrophages in the transition from hepatitis to HCC.

However, aberrant liquid-to-solid phase transitions of such condensates are associated with several fatal human diseases. Such dynamic membraneless compartments can contain a range of molecular chaperones that can regulate the phase behavior of proteins involved in the formation of these biological condensates.

SAMHD1 is a dNTPase that impedes replication of HIV-1 in myeloid cells and resting T lymphocytes. Here we elucidate the substrate activation mechanism of SAMHD1, which involves dNTP binding at allosteric sites and transient tetramerization. Our findings reveal that tetramerization alone is insufficient to promote dNTP hydrolysis; instead, the activation mechanism requires an inactive tetrameric intermediate with partially occupied allosteric sites.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The classic TCM prescription, Shoutai Wan (STW), is extensively used in clinical settings to manage threatened miscarriage and Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). The complexity of pregnancy physiology, coupled with diverse etiologies, and the specificity of energy metabolism for normal embryo attachment and development,pose challenges to clinical diagnosis and treatment. The specific molecular mechanisms of how STW regulates these biological processes and contributes to the treatment of RSA remain to be elucidated.
