Evaluation of Chitosan Hydrogel for Sustained Delivery of VEGF for Odontogenic Differentiation of Dental Pulp Stem Cells by Si Wu, Yachuan Zhou, Yi Yu, Xin Zhou, Wei Du, Mian Wan, Yi Fan, Xuedong Zhou, Xin Xu, Liwei Zheng

“…The VEGF/CS/β-GP hydrogel could promote the odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs better than VEGF treatment without hydrogel. Our results suggested that CS/β-GP hydrogel could continually release VEGF and contribute to odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs, thus may become a potential carrier of bioactive molecules in pulp capping therapy.…”

Analysis and Establishment of the Isothermal Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication Model of the Cylindrical Gear with Arcuate Tooth Trace by Zhou Bo, Hou Li, Wei Yongqiao, Li Bo

“…The cylindrical gear with arcuate tooth trace has advantages of high bearing capacity,high contact strength and steady transmission,etc.But there are also failure modes such as the wear of tooth surface,pitting and scuffing when it drives,it is mainly because of the bad lubricating condition.So ensuring that it is always in good lubricity would be critical.After analyzing the meshing contact process of cylindrical gears with arcuate tooth trace,the contact model of gears is simplified.Based on the elastohydrodynamic lubrication theory,the physical and mathematical model of isothermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication for the cylindrical gear with arcuate tooth trace are established.Through the direct iterative method and Fortran procedure,the numerical solution of the model is solved and the characteristic curves of oil film are got.The influences that entrainment velocity,load and viscidity bring to lubrication characters of the cylindrical gear with arcuate tooth trace are analyzed and compared.The results show the entrainment velocity is the most important cause for the oil film thickness,the viscidity has important influences both on the oil film pressure and thickness,and the load influences less relative to other two factors.Besides,using the oil film thickness ratio,the lubrication state of gears could be estimated,which helps keeping gears approach the elastohydrodynamic lubrication state when designing.…”
