Objective: This study aimed to evaluate timing of fixation to retard bone absorption using finite element analysis(FEA).
Methods: Volunteer CT images were used to construct four models of mandibles with varying degrees of alveolar bone resorption. By simulating occlusal force loading, biomechanical analysis was made on the periodontal membrane, tooth root and surrounding bone (both cancellous and cortical) of mandibular dentition.
Results: The von Mises stress value of the periodontal structures was positively related with the degree of alveolar bone resorption, and the von Mises stress at the interface between the periodontal membrane and tooth root was increased significantly in moderate to severe periodontitis models. The von Mises stress at the interface between the periodontal cortical bone and cancellous bone was increased significantly in the severe periodontitis model. And the von Mises stress value with oblique loading showed significantly higher than vertical loading.
Conclusion: Teeth with moderate to severe periodontitis, loosened tooth fixation can be used to retard bone absorption.

This paper creates 3D models of Kitchon Root Controlled Auxiliary Archwire (Kitchon-RCAA) with different material properties and assembles them onto the main archwire equipped with brackets. By setting different loading methods and conducting Finite Element Analysis (FEA), the range of Orthodontic Torque/Support Force (OT/SF) values can be obtained. From the obtained values, it can be seen that changes in material properties have a significant impact on the mechanical properties of Kitchon-RCAA.

Objective: Percutaneous Endoscopic Transforaminal Discectomy (PETD) is recognized as the leading surgical intervention for lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Moreover, Body Mass Index (BMI) has been established as an independent risk factor for disc reherniation post-PETD. Furthermore, there is a lack of studies investigating the biomechanical changes in the disc post-PETD in relation to diverse BMI levels.

Introduction: The modified pedicle screw fixation (PSF) was designed to simulate an integrated framework structure to ameliorate the resistance to vertical and shearing forces of the disrupted sacroiliac complex, and the aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical characteristics of PSF and traditional lumbopelvic fixation (LPF) for the treatment of sacroiliac joint disruption.
Methods: The digital computer simulation model of an intact spine-pelvis-femur complex with main ligaments was built from clinical images. A left sacroiliac joint disruption model was mimicked by removing the concerned ligaments.

The proposed work aims to demonstrate the significance of the plastic zone at the tip of an axial crack in a pipeline for managing Stress IntensityFactors(SIF). The three-dimensional finite element model of pressure pipeline with axial cracks was built by utilizing the Ramberg-Osgood X80 material model of pipeline. according to Von Mises yield criterion, the size of plastic zone at crack tip was determined, and the fracture parameters were calculated based on interaction integral method, the plastic stress deformation law, determination of elastic-plastic limit load and plastic correction of SIF at crack tip of pressure pipeline with axial crack were discussed.

Background And Objective: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower limbs is a critical global vascular disease. Accurately assessing and predicting the efficacy of DVT treatment remains a significant challenge due to a lack of understanding of the mechanisms by which the level of patient-specific embolization and the rate of drug injection affect thrombolytic therapy.
Methods: In this study, we used the computed tomographic venography (CTV) clinical method to obtain patient-specific parameters, and the flow-solid interaction (FSI) method combined with biochemical response modeling of thrombolysis to analyze patient-specific hemodynamic and biomechanical characteristics and to quantitatively assess the effects of three vessel embolism levels (VEL) versus two drug injection rates (DIR) on bifurcated femoral venous thrombolytic therapy.
