Segments of the small intestine and hind extremities of dogs were perfused under the condition of complete arterio-venous flow reversal (AVFR). In the intestinal segments, the peripheral resistance under AVFR conditions was 4.4 times higher than under orthograde perfusion. Petechiae and hemorhagic infarction were observed. The average flow resistance of the hind extremities was 2.4 times higher than the resistance in control extremities. The pO2 and the O2 saturation in the blood, outflowing from the AVFR extremity was lower than in the control extremity, however, the pO2 was higher. The oxygen consumption was somewhat lower than in the control extremity. It is concluded that by complete AVFR an extremity may be supplied sufficiently with oxygen at least temporarily.

Chemoresistance is a major obstacle in the treatment of gastric cancer (GC). Notably, aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRs) is closely related to tumor development and progression. In the present study, the role of miR-424-5p in the chemoresistance of GC was investigated.

Background: Polydatin (3,4',5-trihydroxy-3-β-d-glucopyranoside, PD) is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Oxaliplatin (OXA)-based chemotherapy is the first-line treatment for metastatic and recurrent colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the lack of selectivity for normal cells often results in side effects.

We study experimentally at the macroscopic and microstructure scale a dense suspension of non-Brownian neutrally buoyant spherical particles experiencing periodic reversals of flow at constant rate between parallel plates and tracked individually. We first characterize the quasi-steady state reached at the end of half periods. The volume fraction of particles increases from the walls to the center as a result of migration induced by the nonuniform strain rate.

Biomagnetic fluid dynamics (BFD) is an emerging and promising field within fluid mechanics, focusing on the dynamics of bio-fluids like blood in the presence of magnetic fields. This research is crucial in the medical arena for applications such as medication delivery, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, prevention of excessive bleeding, and treatment of malignant tumors using magnetic particles. This study delves into the intricacies of blood flow induced by cilia, carrying trihybrid nanoparticles (gold, copper, and titania), within a catheterized arterial annulus under a robust magnetic field.

Photosynthetic microbes have evolved and successfully adapted to the ever-changing environmental conditions in complex microhabitats throughout almost all ecosystems on Earth. In the absence of light, they can sustain their biological functionalities through aerobic respiration, and even in anoxic conditions through anaerobic metabolic activity. For a suspension of photosynthetic microbes in an anaerobic environment, individual cellular motility is directly controlled by its photosynthetic activity, i.
