For numerical simulation, one three-dimensional thoracic aortic geometry model with an LSA stent graft retrograde curved orientation was reconstructed from post-TEVAR computed tomography angiography (CTA) images, and four potential LSA graft configurations were modified and reconstructed: three straight (0, 2, and 10 mm aortic extension) and one anterograde configuration. The blood perfusion of the LSA, flow field, and hemodynamic wall parameters were analyzed. The vortex evolution process was visualized by the Liutex method which enables accurate extraction of the pure rigid rotational motion of fluid and is highly suitable for identifying the vortex structure of blood flow near the vessel wall. The average flow in the retrograde configuration decreased by 11.2% compared to that in the basic configuration. When the LSA stent graft extends in the aortic lumen, flow separation is observed, and vortex structures begin to form at the proximal inferior arterial geometry and the wall of the extension in late systole. A greater extension length and inflow angle upstream resulted in a greater oscillatory shear index (OSI) and relative residence time (RRT) on the nearby wall of the posterior flow field of the extension. Shorter intra-aortic extension length (<10 mm) and smaller LSA stent graft inflow angle (<120 deg) may be recommended in TEVAR, considering LSA perfusion and minimized flow field disturbance.</p>","PeriodicalId":54871,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomechanical Engineering-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142840306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dorsiflexor stimulation timing was similar between stimulation conditions, but plantarflexor stimulation timing was significantly improved with the AFES system compared to the FES system (p = 0.0059). Variability between and within subjects was substantial, and some subjects experienced clinically meaningful improvements in walking speed, peak dorsiflexion angle, and peak propulsive force.

Despite the progress in characterization of fracture behavior of dentin, the contribution of composite structure consisting of peritubular dentin (PTD), intertubular dentin (ITD) and tubules to fracture resistance remains elusive. In this study, calculations are carried out for energy release rate associated with crack propagation in the microstructure of dentin. Crack penetration and deflection at the PTD-ITD interface are accounted for in the numerical analyses. It is found that high stiffness of the PTD plays a role in increasing crack driving force, promoting crack growth in the microstructure of dentin. For crack penetration across the PTD-ITD interface, the crack driving force increases with increasing tubule radius; and thick PTD generates amplified crack driving force, thereby leading to weak fracture resistance. The driving force for crack deflection increases with the increase in tubule radius in the case of short cracks, while for long cracks, there is a decrease in driving force with increasing tubule radius. Furthermore, we show that the competition between crack penetration and deflection at the PTD-ITD interface is controlled by the ratio of PTD to ITD elastic modulus, tubule radius and thickness of PTD. High PTD stiffness can increase the propensity of crack deflection. The microstructure of dentin with large tubule radius favors crack deflection and thick PTD is beneficial for crack penetration.</p>","PeriodicalId":54871,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomechanical Engineering-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142019610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has recently been shown that TAF15 inclusions are involved in approximately 10% of cases of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). FTLD is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease (AD). It is characterized by a progressive loss of personality, behavioral changes, and a decline in language skills due to the degeneration of the frontal and anterior temporal lobes. The model simulates TAF15 monomer production, nucleation and autocatalytic growth of free TAF15 aggregates, and their deposition into TAF15 inclusions. The accuracy of the numerical solution of the model equations is validated by comparing it with analytical solutions available for limiting cases. Physiologically relevant parameter values were used to predict TAF15 inclusion growth. It is shown that the growth of TAF15 inclusions is influenced by two opposing mechanisms: the rate at which free TAF15 aggregates are deposited into inclusions and the rate of autocatalytic production of free TAF15 aggregates from monomers. A low deposition rate slows inclusion growth, while a high deposition rate hinders the autocatalytic production of new aggregates, thus also slowing inclusion growth. Consequently, the rate of inclusion growth is maximized at an intermediate deposition rate of free TAF15 aggregates into TAF15 inclusions.</p>","PeriodicalId":54871,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomechanical Engineering-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142114911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we introduced an orthotropic constraint to GAIM to improve the quality and physical significance of its mechanical characterizations. We evaluated the updated GAIM method using simulated and experimental biaxial testing datasets obtained from soft tissue analogs (PDMS and TissueMend) with well-defined mechanical properties. GAIM produced stiffnesses (first Kelvin moduli, K1) that agreed well with previously published Young's moduli of PDMS samples. It also matched the stiffness moduli determined via uniaxial testing for TissueMend, a collagen-rich patch intended for tendon repair. We then conducted the first biaxial testing of TissueMend and confirmed that the sample was mechanically anisotropic via a relative anisotropy metric produced by GAIM. Next, we demonstrated the benefits of full-field laser micrometry in distinguishing between spatial variations in thickness and stiffness. Finally, we conducted an analysis to verify that results were independent of partitioning scheme.
