Angiotensin-(1-7) and Alamandine Promote Anti-inflammatory Response in Macrophages In Vitro and In Vivo by Melissa de Carvalho Santuchi, Miriane Fernandes Dutra, Juliana Priscila Vago, Kátia Maciel Lima, Izabela Galvão, Fernando Pedro de Souza-Neto, Mario Morais e Silva, Aline Cristina Oliveira, Flávia Carvalho Bittencourt de Oliveira, Ricardo Gonçalves, Mauro Martins Teixeira, Lirlândia Pires Sousa, Robson Augusto Souza dos Santos, Rafaela Fernandes da Silva

“…Here, we evaluated the effects of angiotensin-(1-7) (Ang-(1-7)) and the most novel RAS peptide, alamandine, on resting (M0), proinflammatory M(LPS+IFN-γ), and anti-inflammatory M(IL-4) macrophage phenotypes in vitro, as well as on specific immune cell populations and macrophage subsets into the pleural cavity of LPS-induced pleurisy in mice. Our results showed that Ang-(1-7) and alamandine, through Mas and MrgD receptors, respectively, do not affect M0 macrophages but reduce the proinflammatory TNF-α, CCL2, and IL-1β transcript expression levels in LPS+IFN-γ-stimulated macrophages. …”

Rock breaking regularity of layered rock mass blasting under the influence of different resistance lines by Jianxin YU, Pengzhan MENG, Xin ZHANG, Zhenzhen LI

“…Blasting effect shows that the main cracks first along the weak face of the joints through, perpendicular to the direction of the joints on the side of the rock crack development is better than the back side of the cracks, on the side of the explosion of the strain strength of the rock is greater than that of the back side of the explosion; As the resistance line increases from 6 cm to 10 cm, the extent of the blast crushed zone and fissure zone produced by the blasting of the laminated rock body gradually decreases; As the resistance line increases from 6 cm to 10 cm, the range of blasting crushed area and fissure area produced by blasting of layered rock body decreases gradually, but the range of blasting cavity first increases and then decreases. When the resistance line is small, the majority of the explosion energy is dissipated in the form of gas, resulting in energy wastage. …”
