Effects of early local administration of high-dose bFGF on a recurrent laryngeal nerve injury model by Takao Goto, Rumi Ueha, Taku Sato, Tatsuya Yamasoba

“…Conclusions A single, early local administration of high-dose bFGF prevented atrophic changes in the thyroarytenoid muscles by activating satellite cell proliferation and reforming neuromuscular junctions. As increased neuromuscular junctions are expected to maintain myofiber volume, bFGF administration may prevent thyroarytenoid muscle atrophy in the mid to long term. …”

Organophosphate esters inhibit enzymatic proteolysis through non-covalent interactions by Zeming Wang, Wei Zhang, Xiaojie Hu, Yanzheng Gao

“…In addition, organophosphate diesters (di-OPEs) and long-chain OPEs had stronger affinity to GB1, due to the more negative and denser electrostatic surface potential distributions. The deformation of proteins hindered the contact between their active sites and enzymes, leading to the inhibition of GB1 hydrolysis. …”

Research on the Reasonable Coal Pillar Width and Surrounding Rock Supporting Optimization of Gob-Side Entry under Inclined Seam Condition by Li-li Jiang, Zeng-qiang Yang, Gang-wei Li

“…The results show that the influence range of inside stress field is about 12.2∼12.8 m based on theoretical calculation result; under the influence of 10 m coal column, the overall deformation of the roadway is relatively small and within the reasonable range of engineering construction, so the width of the coal pillar along the return air roadway is set to 10 m which is more reasonable; the cross-section characteristics of special-shaped roadway lead to asymmetric stress distribution and fragmentation of surrounding rock, and then the asymmetric surrounding rock control technology under the coupling effect of roof prestressed anchor + high-strength single anchor cable + truss anchor cable support is proposed. …”
