Abstract

Porous materials are known for their excellent energy absorption capability and, thus, are widely used in anti-impact applications. However, how the pore shape and size impact the failure mechanism and overall behavior of the porous materials under impact loading is still unclear or limitedly touched. Instead of using homogeneous solids for the porous material model, pores with various shapes and sizes were implanted in a solid to establish the porous materials that have true porous structures, which permits exploration of the local failure mechanism. The results revealed that differently shaped holes have two different dominant deformation modes. And due to their different local stress distributions, they enter the plastic phase earlier and, thus, have higher specific energy absorption. Meanwhile, the model changes from hardening to a quasi-zero stiffness model as the hole size increases. The application of this work can be extended into the field of impact resistance.

Abstract

The yield strength and Young's modulus of lattice structures are essential mechanical parameters that influence the utilization of materials in the aerospace and medical fields. Currently, accurately determining the Young's modulus and yield strength of lattice structures often requires conduction of a large number of experiments for prediction and validation purposes. To save time and effort to accurately predict the material yield strength and Young's modulus, based on the existing experimental data, finite element analysis is employed to expand the dataset. An artificial neural network algorithm is then used to establish a relationship model between the topology of the lattice structure and Young's modulus (the yield strength), which is analyzed and verified. The Gibson–Ashby model analysis indicates that different lattice structures can be classified into two main deformation forms. To obtain an artificial neural network model that can accurately predict different lattice structures and be deployed in the prediction of BCC-FCC lattice structures, the artificial network model is further optimized and validated. Concurrently, the topology of disparate lattice structures gives rise to a certain discrete form of their dominant deformation, which consequently affects the neural network prediction. In conclusion, the prediction of Young's modulus and yield strength of lattice structures using artificial neural networks is a feasible approach that can contribute to the development of lattice structures in the aerospace and medical fields.

Abstract

Emerging evidence has demonstrated the profound impact of the gut microbiome on cardiovascular diseases through the production of diverse metabolites. Using an animal model of myocardial ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury, we found that the prophylactic administration of a well‐known probiotic, Bifidobacterium infantis (B. infantis), exhibited cardioprotective effects in terms of preserving cardiac contractile function and preventing adverse cardiac remodeling following I/R and that these cardioprotective effects were recapitulated by its metabolite inosine. Transcriptomic analysis further revealed that inosine mitigated I/R‐induced cardiac inflammation and cell death. Mechanistic investigations elucidated that inosine suppressed the production of pro‐inflammatory cytokines and reduced the numbers of dendritic cells and natural killer cells, achieved through the activation of the adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) that when inhibited abrogated the cardioprotective effects of inosine. Additionally, in vitro studies using C2C12 myoblasts revealed that inosine attenuated cell death by serving as an alternative carbon source for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) generation through the purine salvage pathway when subjected to oxygen‐glucose deprivation/reoxygenation that simulated myocardial I/R injury. Likewise, inosine reversed the I/R‐induced decrease in ATP levels in mouse hearts. Taken together, our findings indicate that B. infantis or its metabolite inosine exerts cardioprotective effects against I/R by suppressing cardiac inflammation and attenuating cardiac cell death, suggesting prophylactic therapeutic options for acute ischemic cardiac injury. Highlights: Bifidobacterium infantis, a well‐known probiotic, exhibits prophylactic cardioprotective effects against myocardial I/R injury.The cardioprotective effects of Bifidobacterium infantis are recapitulated by its metabolite inosine.Inosine treatment suppresses cardiac inflammation by reducing the production of pro‐inflammatory cytokines and decreasing the numbers of dendritic cells and natural killer cells after I/R.Inosine treatment attenuates cell death by serving as an alternative carbon source for adenosine triphosphate generation through the purine salvage pathway in stressed myocytes and in I/R‐injured mouse hearts.
