The influence of arterial wall circumferential stretch (lambda) on the 32-min diffusive mural uptake of 125I-albumin and of Evan's blue dye (EBD) across the injured endothelial surface was studied in the intimal-medial preparation of the canine descending thoracic aorta (DTA). Albumin uptake (MA nmol/cm2) was measured by standard gamma counting techniques and the corresponding EBD uptake (ME) by the reflectance method. MA and ME were measured at a physiological stretch (lambda = 1.4) and at a hypertensive stretch (lambda = 1.8) at four equispaced locations (z) along the DTA. When lambda was changed from 1.4 to 1.8, the average percentage change of MA was -2% and of ME was -4%. These decreases were not significant (P greater than 0.10), and we conclude that arterial wall stretch exerts only minor influence on the parameters governing albumin and EBD-albumin accumulation in the intimal surface of the deendothelialized arterial intimal-medial tissue system.

Active and passive material response of urinary bladder smooth muscle tissue in uniaxial and biaxial tensile testing.

The urinary bladder is a hollow organ that undergoes significant deformation as it receives, stores, and releases urine. To understand the organ mechanics, it is necessary to obtain information about the material properties of the tissues involved. In displacement-controlled tensile tests, tissue samples are mounted on a device that applies stretches to the tissue in one or more directions, resulting in a specific stress response.

To improve the defective processing of barley fermented dough, this study constructed barley model dough using reconstituted hordein/glutelin ratios (75:25, 50:50, and 25:75) and elucidated its regulatory roles and potential mechanisms. SEM and CLSM results showed that increasing the hordein ratio improved the continuity and completion of the reconstituted gluten network compared to Control, thus allowing the gluten to stretch and elongate during fermentation. Also, LF-NMR revealed that the water distribution of the reconstituted system tended to shift from a free to a bound state, contributing to water retention during the dough hydration phase.

Soft network metamaterials are widely used in fields such as flexible electronics, tissue engineering, and biomedicine due to their superior properties including low density, high stretchability, and high breathability. However, the prediction and customization of the nonlinear mechanical behavior of soft network metamaterials remain a challenging problem. In this study, a family of hydrogel-based network metamaterials with biological tissue-like mechanical properties are developed based on a machine learning-driven optimization design method.

Mixing liquids with unequal viscosity involves complex flows and a nontrivial diffusive feedback. As an insightful reference case, we study the deformation of a spherical blob with viscosity λη, sheared in a miscible bath with viscosity η. Experiments resolve the transition from unbounded stretching, at low λ, to rollinglike motion, at large λ.

Background: Establishing a pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopy is common surgical practice, with the goal to create an optimal surgical workspace within the abdominal cavity while minimizing insufflation pressure. Individualized strategies, based on neuromuscular blockade (NMB), pre-stretching routines, and personalized intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) to enhance surgical conditions are strategies to improve surgical workspace. However, the specific impact of each factor remains uncertain.
