Investigation of the Normal Blowing Approach to Controlling Wingtip Vortex Using LES by Yubiao Jiang, Wanbo Wang, Chen Qin, Patrick N. Okolo, Kun Tang

“…Flow field structures before and after blowing show that blowing suppresses the shedding, coiling, and convergence of the free vortex layers near the primary vortex. This study also shows that normal blowing generates a jet-induced vortex at the location of the secondary vortex, while backflow, volume expansion, and spiral burst can be observed in the jet-induced vortex. …”

Matrix metalloproteinase-3 is a potent prognostic factor associated with cell proliferation and migration in prostate cancer by Ai Sato, Kiyoshi Takagi, Mio Yamaguchi-Tanaka, Jotaro Okushima, Yuto Yamazaki, Akihiro Ito, Takashi Suzuki

“…However, the clinical and biological significance of MMP3 has not been well elucidated.We therefore immunolocalized MMP3 in prostate cancer tissues (n = 117) and demonstrated that MMP3 immunoreactivity was correlated with aggressive phenotype of prostate cancer, including higher proliferation/invasion ability, and shorter disease-free survival. In addition, subsequent in vitro analysis revealed that overexpression of MMP3 significantly increased the proliferative and migratory abilities of PC-3 and DU-145 prostate cancer cell lines, depending on conditioned media from WMPY-1 prostate stromal cells.It was concluded that MMP3 might contribute to prostate cancer progression by modifying the ECM surrounding prostate cancer cells and could serve as a potent prognostic factor in prostate cancer.…”

Serum Zinc Levels in Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome are Lower as Compared to Those without Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: A Cohort Study by Swati Dhar, Reena Yadav, Akash Tomar

“…Background: Zinc is an essential micronutrient, a vital stabiliser and a cofactor in many enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and phospholipase C and also acts as an antioxidant by protecting the sulfhydryl groups of different proteins and enzymes against free radicals. It is unclear if serum zinc levels are correlated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and its pathophysiology, although relation between diabetes and insulin resistance has been established. …”
