High Glucose Level Disturbs the Resveratrol-Evoked Curtailment of CX3CL1/CX3CR1 Signaling in Human Placental Circulation by Dariusz Szukiewicz, Michal Pyzlak, Grzegorz Szewczyk, Aleksandra Stangret, Seweryn Trojanowski, Michal Bachanek, Wojciech Braksator, Jaroslaw Wejman

“…Anti-inflammatory/antioxidant activities of resveratrol (3,5,4′-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) are related to the modulation of chemokine CX3CL1 and its receptor, CX3CR1, signaling pathways. We examined the influence of high glucose (25 mmol/L glucose; HG group; N=36) on resveratrol-mediated effects on CX3CL1 and TNF-α production by the placental lobule, CX3CR1 expression and contents of CX3CR1, TNF-α receptor 1 (TNFR1), and NF-κB proteins in placental tissue. …”

Analysis on the Low Speed Performance of an Inward-Turning Multiduct Inlet for Turbine-Based Combined Cycle Engines by Chengxiang Zhu, Haifeng Zhang, Zhancang Hu, Yancheng You

“…The multiduct inlet for turbine-based combined cycle engines receives a lot of attention on its aerodynamic performance. Aside of the most studied mode of transition processes, another significant severe issue regarding the aerodynamic performance of the turbine duct (T-duct) at ground states has rarely been investigated which indeed directly determines the operability and reality of similar engine systems; this issue will be addressed in the present work. …”
