Engagement and Contact Analysis of Coiled Tubing Injector Head Chain Drive by Hu Zheng, Ma Weiguo, Qu Baolong, Liu Xuehang

“…Based on the standard roller chain and sprocket, the mechanical model of the engagement contact between the injector head chain and the sprocket teeth is established to analyze the influence of chain tension force, chain tension angle and chain pitch on the position of contact points and tooth surface support reaction force, and the accuracy of the contact mechanical model is verified by Ansys simulation which lays a theoretical foundation for the design and safety of the injector. The research shows that when the tension force of the chain increases and the loosening force remains unchanged, the engaging-in position of the chain on the tension side is basically unchanged, the reaction force of the tooth surface support increases, and the engaging-out position of the chain rollers is close to the bottom of the sprocket teeth. …”

The Effect of an Aqueous Extract of Teucrium polium on Glutathione Homeostasis In Vitro: A Possible Mechanism of Its Hepatoprotectant Action by Stella Shtukmaster, Predrag Ljubuncic, Arieh Bomzon

“…The effects of increasing concentrations (0.01–1 mg/mL) of aqueous extract of T. polium were assessed in cultured HepG2 cells following 24 hours incubation on (1) cellular integrity using (a) the Trypan blue exclusion assay, (b) the [di-methylthiazol-2yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazoliumbromide (MTT) assay, and (c) the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay; (2) glutathione redox state; and (3) glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase activities using a repeated measures experimental design. Results. At concentrations of 0.375 mg/mL and 0.5 mg/mL, the extract increased the intracellular levels of total and reduced glutathione and had no effect on the intracellular amounts of oxidized glutathione. …”
