Finite Element Modelling and Simulation of Tunnel Gates of Dam Structures in ABAQUS Using Reduced-Integrated 8-Node Hexahedral Solid-Shell Element by Can Balkaya

“…Both the concrete structure and the anchorages between the concrete of the first and second phases of the gate structure and the steel profiles in the gate supports are modelled to obtain composite behavior, bond stresses, and a more accurate load and stress distribution. For the nonlinear finite element modelling in ABAQUS, C3D8R reduced-integrated 8-node hexahedral solid elements with concrete damage and tension stiffening are used. …”

Retrograde transvenous thoracic duct embolization for lymphatic leakage after retroperitoneal tumor and lymph node resection: a case report and literature review by Go Kinoshita, Koichi Morisaki, Daisuke Okamoto, Takehiko Aoyagi, Shinichiro Yoshino, Kentaro Inoue, Tomoharu Yoshizumi

“…Conclusion This case report describes successful treatment with retrograde transvenous thoracic duct embolization for chylothorax following resection of a retroperitoneal tumor and lymph node. This approach is a less invasive and more effective mode of treatment for chylothorax and should be considered before surgical thoracic duct ligation when the leakage point cannot be identified using the antegrade approach.…”

Transcriptome sequencing revealed that lymph node metastasis of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma is associated with high THBS4 expression and PDGFRA+ cancer-associated fibroblasts by LeYin Hu, Yi Lin, JingYu Zheng, Li Wan, Rui Zhao, Yi Ma, JianMin Li

“…Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated increased THBS4(P < 0.01) and PDGFRA(P < 0.001) expression in LNM groups, while SMA staining showed no significant intergroup differences(P>0.05).ConclusionThis study’s findings indicate that THBS4 could be a potential biomarker for predicting the risk of lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma, thus potentially guiding more personalized surgical interventions. …”
