Magnesium-based bulk metallic glasses are attractive due to their single-phase, chemically homogeneous alloy system and the absence of second-phase, which could impair the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.However, one of the unsolved problems for the manufacturability and the applications of bulk metallic glasses is that their glass-f
The DNA repair enzyme, apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (or redox effector factor-1, APE/Ref-1), is involved in base excision repair of apurinic/apyrimidinic sites after oxidative DNA damage.We investigated the expression of APE/Ref-1 and its relationship to oxidative stress after severe traumatic brain injury produced by controlled cortical impa
Abstract Fibrosis with excessive amounts of type I collagen is a hallmark of many solid tumours, and fibrosis is a promising target in cancer therapy, but tools for its non-invasive quantification are missing.Here we used magnetic resonance imaging with a gadolinium-based probe targeted to type I collagen (EP-3533) to image and quantify fibrosis in
Backfill is a very important technology that can be used to reduce the environmental footprints resulting from coal mining.The selection of proper filling materials is of great significance to the operation cost and the stability of the goaf.This paper investigated the feasibility of using the coal gangue as the main component of the filling paste
