However, most existing studies rely on elastic models, which fail to capture the time-dependent nature of viscoelastic materials. Moreover, the long fabrication cycles, high costs, and complex parameter measurements in tissue engineering pose significant challenges to experimental approaches. There is thus an urgent need to develop a viscoelastic mechanical model that combines physical interpretability, computational efficiency, and predictive accuracy, enabling precise characterization of material responses and unified quantification across experimental platforms. Here, we propose an error-corrected linear solid (ECLS) model with an embedded correction term to address the predictive deviations of conventional models in nonlinear viscoelastic scenarios. Instead of expanding the traditional model structure, the ECLS incorporates an error correction method that improves predictive performance while maintaining structural simplicity. Experiments were conducted on three representative viscoelastic materials-silicone rubber, polyurethane, and polytetrafluoroethylene-to acquire time-resolved response data through stress relaxation and creep tests. The fitting performance was quantitatively evaluated using the Euclidean norm and the Akaike information criterion, enabling a systematic comparison between the ECLS model and three classical models (Kelvin-Voigt, Maxwell, and standard linear solid [SLS]). The results show that the ECLS model exhibits higher predictive accuracy over a wide time range, with an average goodness of fit (R²) of 0.99, representing an improvement of ∼6% compared to the SLS model. Furthermore, the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of the ECLS model are at least one order of magnitude lower than those of the traditional models, significantly improving the description of nonlinear viscoelastic behavior and providing more accurate predictions of material viscoelastic mechanical behavior. Therefore, the ECLS model not only improves the modeling accuracy of viscoelastic behavior but also establishes a unified and scalable framework for predicting and optimizing the mechanical performance of tissue-engineered vessels, expanding the application potential of mechanical modeling in bioreactor design and biomaterials development.</p>","PeriodicalId":23154,"journal":{"name":"Tissue engineering.

However, this model is time-intensive and costly. The purpose of this study was to develop an abbreviated rabbit model of knee contractures and compare it to the well-established longer model. Twenty female New Zealand White rabbits were divided into two equal groups and prospectively studied to assess knee passive extension angles (PEA), contracture angles (CA), and terminal posterior capsular stiffness. Experimental knees were immobilized for either 4 weeks (<i>n</i> = 10) with an 8-week remobilization period in the abbreviated model (i.e., 3 months) or for 8 weeks (<i>n</i> = 10) with a 16-week remobilization period in the standard model (i.e., 6 months). PEAs were assessed at remobilization and several time points using differing vertical forces. At sacrifice, terminal biomechanical data were collected to assess posterior capsular stiffness. Analysis of PEAs in live animals at each torque value and time point demonstrated increased PEAs and decreased CAs in the 3-month abbreviated model as compared to the 6-month standard model. At sacrifice, biomechanical analysis demonstrated that the posterior capsules of the 3-month experimental limbs were significantly more stiff than the contralateral limb (2.4 vs. 0.05 Ncm/°, <i>p</i> < 0.0001), but significantly less stiff compared to the 6-month experimental limbs (2.4 vs. 4.7 Ncm/°, <i>p</i> < 0.0001).

Four databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library) were searched from the beginning of database establishment to August 8, 2023. The included articles were limited to the English language. A systematic search was performed to identify randomized controlled trials assessing the histological performance of various biomaterials in TMSFE with a follow-up of 5-8 months. The main outcome was an area of new bone, and an additional outcome was residual graft material. Extracted data were analyzed by using a Bayesian approach (the Markov chain Monte Carlo) to establish ranks of various biomaterials in R language. Finally, the search identified 22 studies that reported 22 trials on bone area (17 kinds of biomaterials) and 12 studies on residual graft materials (12 kinds of biomaterials) after the exclusion of one study disconnected from the network plot. No local inconsistency could be found in studies regarding bone formation, while no closed loop was detected in residual graft material. The top 3 probabilities of biomaterials in terms of bone formation were Allograft + Xenograft (AG + X) (87.14%), X + Polymer (75.69%), and Autogenous Bone + Bioactive Glass (AB + BG) (71.44%). AG + X had the highest probability (87.14%) of being the most optimal treatment for bone formation. Biphasic calcium phosphate + Fibrin sealant (BCP + FS) was ranked as the slowest absorbing biomaterial (78.27%) in TMSFE. Within the limitations of the current network meta-analysis, AG + X may represent an optimal biomaterial for bone formation in TMSFE. The use of X in combination with other biomaterials demonstrates superior osteogenic effects in TMSFE. BCP + FS exhibited strong mechanical properties during a short-term observational period.
