Vascular risk factors and neuroimaging heterogeneity across different white matter hyperintensities distribution patterns by Junjun Wang, Liying Zhuang, Fengli Fu, Yejia Mo, Lihao Zhai, Qi Xu, Caiyun Mou

“…Furthermore, patients with posterior SC patches displayed significantly lower CBF in both gray matter (42.65 ± 11.76 vs. 48.02 ± 10.97, p = 0.003) and white matter (35.25 ± 8.81 vs. 38.86 ± 8.07, p = 0.007). Mediation analysis revealed that white matter microstructural injury mediated the association between anterior SC patches WMHs and cognitive impairment [β = −0.371, Bootstrap 95% CI [−0.939, −0.006]].ConclusionThis study demonstrates heterogeneity in vascular risk factors, gray matter volume, microstructural injury, and hypoperfusion across different WMHs patterns, underscoring the importance of subtype-specific mechanistic and therapeutic research.…”

Exploring hot deformation mechanism and precipitation behavior of Fe–5.6Mn–0.18C–1.1Al(–0.1Ti–0.22Mo) steels through physical modeling and microstructure characterization by H.T. Zhang, H.Y. Li, N. Xiao, S.H. Sun, H.L. Yan, M.H. Cai, Y.–K. Lee

“…Furthermore, the hot deformation behavior was modeled and predicted using the Bergström model for the work hardening/recovery stage and the Kolmogorov–Johnson–Mehl–Avrami (KJMA) model for dynamic recrystallization (DRX). Microstructural analysis of specimens deformed at 750 °C indicated that deformation–induced ferrite transformation (DIFT) facilitated softening in the intercritical region, with the Kurdjumov–Sachs (K–S) orientation relationship between the deformation–induced ferrite and the parent austenite. …”
