Neuroprotective effects of phenylacetylglycine via β2AR on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats by Wenjie Hu, Xueyan Kuang, Yao Zhang, Yimin Luo, Litao Zhang

“…The results indicated that PAGly markedly alleviated cerebral infarct volume (P = 0.0024) and improved the neurobehavioral outcomes (P = 0.0149) after I/R injury. PAGly is structurally analogous to catecholamines and binds to β2-adrenergic receptors (β2AR) on microglia without altering the expression of these receptors (P = 0.9137), but instead inhibiting their activity. …”

Effect of Soft Interlayer Dip Angle on the Attenuation and Prediction of Blast-Induced Vibrations in Rock Slopes: An Experimental Study by Sheng Chen, Nan Jiang, Ying Sun, Jian Pan, Liping He, Jianxiong Guo, Jikui Zhang, Zicheng Zhang

“…Rock slopes containing weak interlayers are highly prone to instability under the disturbance of blasting vibrations due to the influence of structural planes. To address the limitations of traditional models in predicting vibration attenuation for such slopes, this study conducted in situ blasting tests on sand–mudstone interbedded slopes from the Pinglu Canal project. …”
