Analysis of Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication Performance for TI Hourglass Worm Drive with Considering Tribo-dynamics Character by Zhu Yan, Liu Zaixin, Liao Honghui, Zhang Cui

“…The calculation results show that,when at low speed,the meshing force and friction of the tooth are larger than those at high speed. With the increase of the helix angle,the meshing forces both at inlet and outlet are obviously improved,and the friction of the tooth changes a little with the speed.Meanwhile,the maximum friction reduces,which can improve the transmission life of the worm drive pair. …”

Oxidative stress caused by 3-monochloro-1,2-propanediol provokes intestinal stem cell hyperproliferation and the protective role of quercetin by Zongzhong Liu, Yanfei He, Yuhan Wang, Kefeng Ren, Pengpeng Xia, Binbin Xie, Tian Wei

“…Intriguingly, quercetin, a natural antioxidant derived from dietary fruits and vegetables, alleviated 3-MCPD-induced intestinal toxicity by inhibiting the JNK pathway. Our findings uncover a mechanism whereby suppression of undesirable ISC hyperproliferation, caused by 3-MCPD-induced oxidative stress, maintains intestinal homeostasis, and provide a theoretical basis for exploiting quercetin, a natural antioxidant, as a dietary antidote against the intestinal hazards posed by environmental toxicants.…”
