Prevention and Reversal of Diabetes by All-Trans Retinoid Acid and Exendin-4 in NOD Mice by Jyuhn-Huarng Juang, Yang-Hau Van, Chien-Hung Kuo, Mei-Yin Lin, Ying-Hsiu Liu, Han-Ying Chang

“…It has been shown that all-trans retinoid acid (ATRA) hinders the development of autoimmune diabetes by inducing immune tolerance status. Meanwhile, exendin-4 increases beta-cell function and mass. Thus, we hypothesized that ATRA and exendin-4 combination therapy would prevent and reverse autoimmune diabetes. …”

Exendin-4 Exacerbates Burn-Induced Morbidity in Mice by Activation of the Sympathetic Nervous System by Xiao-Jing Ji, Ji-Wei Hao, Guang-Lei Li, Ning Dong, Xin-Qi Wang, Min Zhou, Qing-Hong Zhang, Yong-Ming Yao

“…Male Balb/c mice were subjected to sham or thermal injury of 15% total body surface area. Exendin-4 on T cell function in vitro was examined in cultured splenocytes in the presence of β-adrenoceptor antagonist propranolol (1 nmol/L) or GLP-1R antagonist exendin (9-39) (1 μmol/L), whereas its in vivo effect was determined by i.p. injection of exendin-4 (2.4 nmol/kg) in mice. …”

Precision tests of third-generation four-quark operators: one- and two-loop matching by Ulrich Haisch, Luc Schnell

“…Abstract We calculate the one- and two-loop matching corrections in the Standard Model effective field theory (SMEFT) that impact electroweak precision measurements and flavour physics observables, focusing on the contributions of third-generation four-quark operators. Our results provide a crucial ingredient for a model-independent analysis of constraints on beyond the Standard Model physics that primarily affects the sector of third-generation four-quark operators. …”

A Numerical Study on the Progressive Failure of 3D Four-Directional Braided Composites by Kun Xu

“…A new unit cell geometrical model, taken as the representative volume element (RVE), is proposed to describe the yarn configuration of 3D braided composites produced by the four-step 1 × 1 method. Then, based on the periodical boundary conditions, a RVE-based micromechanical model by using the nonlinear finite element method has been presented to predict the progressive damage and the strength of 3D braided composites subjected to tensile loading. …”
