Sensory innervation in the prostate and a role for calcitonin gene-related peptide in prostatic epithelial proliferation by Hanyu Xia, Hanyu Xia, Travis J. Jerde, Travis J. Jerde, Jill C. Fehrenbacher, Jill C. Fehrenbacher, Jill C. Fehrenbacher, Jill C. Fehrenbacher

“…However, studies to date have focused on sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves and little attention has been given to the presence or function of sensory nerves in the prostate. Recent studies have highlighted a role for sensory nerves beyond perception of noxious stimuli, as anterograde release of neuropeptides from sensory nerves can affect vascular tone and local immune responses.MethodsTo identify the degree of sensory innervation in the prostate, we utilized state-of-the-art tissue clearing and microscopy to visualize sensory innervation in the different lobes of the mouse prostate. …”

The internal deformation evolution of the ceramic/UHMWPE laminate body armor backface under ballistic impact by Wei Wu, Yihui Zhu, Haiwen Sun, Yang Song, Zhuangqing Fan, Min Xia

“…By taking the derivative of the traction curves and using 50% of the maximum derivative width as the boundary, the maximum traction velocity is found to be 739.80 m/s, and the profiles exhibit the characteristics of an exponential function under different boundary widths. Secondly, setting fixed constraints around the impacted ceramic fragments can better simulate the extrusion and fracture of the equivalent layer on the contact surface, with minimal impact on the formation of cracks, spalling, and bulging. …”
