Hemodynamic disturbance and mTORC1 activation: Unveiling the biomechanical pathogenesis of thoracic aortic aneurysms in Marfan syndrome by Ming-Yuan Liu, Meili Wang, Junjun Liu, An-Qiang Sun, Chang-Shun He, Xin Cong, Wei Kong, Wei Li

“…We uncovered that activation of the mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) within smooth muscle cells, instigated by the oscillatory wall shear stress (OSS) that stems from disturbed flow (DF), is a catalyst for TAA progression. This revelation was corroborated through both an MFS mouse model (Fbn1+/C1039G) and clinical MFS specimens. …”

Research on the Evolution Mechanism of Congestion in the Entrances and Exits of Parking Facilities Based on the Improved Spatial Autoregressive Model by Hongru Yu, Shejun Deng, Caoye Lu, Yucheng Tang, Shijun Yu, Lu Liu, Tao Ji

“…It also proposes a spatially robust autoregressive model and complex network tools suitable for analysis of local traffic flow to analyze it. The results show that as spatial scale increases, the congestion propagation decreases sharply and spatial adjacency within the fourth order can account for more than 90% of the propagation; the frontage road to the entrance and exit is the place where the congestion first happens, and the congestion gradually attenuates as it propagates to the inner lane and the upstream of the road segments; the lateral congestion propagation attenuates faster, so the area affected by congestion is mainly distributed in the outermost lane. …”
