Adenomyosis is used to be called endometriosis interna, and deep endometriosis is now called adenomyosis externa. Thus, there is a question as to whether adenomyosis is simply endometriosis of the uterus, either from the perspective of pathogenesis or pathophysiology. In this manuscript, a comprehensive review was performed with a literature search using PubMed for all publications in English, related to adenomyosis and endometriosis, from inception to June 20, 2019. In addition, two prevailing theories, i.e., invagination-based on tissue injury and repair (TIAR) hypothesis-and metaplasia, on adenomyosis pathogenesis, are briefly overviewed and then critically scrutinized. Both theories have apparent limitations, i.e., difficulty in falsification, explaining existing data, and making useful predictions. Based on the current understanding of wound healing, a new hypothesis, called endometrial-myometrial interface disruption (EMID), is proposed to account for adenomyosis resulting from iatrogenic trauma to EMI. The EMID hypothesis not only highlights the more salient feature, i.e., hypoxia, at the wounding site, but also incorporates epithelial mesenchymal transition, recruitment of bone-marrow-derived stem cells, and enhanced survival and dissemination of endometrial cells dispersed and displaced due to iatrogenic procedures. More importantly, the EMID hypothesis predicts that the risk of adenomyosis can be reduced if certain perioperative interventions are performed. Consequently, from a pathogenic standpoint, adenomyosis is not simply endometriosis of the uterus, and, as such, may call for interventional procedures that are somewhat different from those for endometriosis to achieve the best results. The following work presents the results of an investigation of the cause-effect relationship between the stability of a melt pool and the roughness of an inclined, unsupported steel surface that was 3D-printed using the laser powder bed fusion (PBF-L/M) process. In order to observe the balling effect and decrease in surface quality, the samples were printed with no supporting structures placed on the downskin. The stability of the melt pool was investigated as a function of both the inclination angle and along the length of the melt pool. Single-track cross-sections were described by shape parameters and were compared and used to calculate the forces acting on the melt pool as the downskin was printed. The single-melt track tests were printed to produce a series of samples with increasing inclination angles with respect to the baseplate. The increasing angles enabled us to physically simulate specific solidification conditions during the sample printing process. As the inclination angle of the unsupported surface increased, the melt-pool altered in terms of its size, geometry, contact angles, and maximum length of stability. The balling phenomenon was observed, quantified, and compared using roughness tests; it was influenced by the melt track stability according to its geometry. The research results show that a higher linear energy input may decrease the roughness of unsupported surfaces with low inclination angles, while a lower linear energy input may be more effective with higher inclination angles.Accumulating evidence highlights the link between gut microbiota and depression. As an antidepressant herbal drug in clinic, Chaihu-Shu-Gan-San (CSGS) has also been used in China for the treatment of various gastrointestinal disorders. Therefore, we hypothesize that the gut microbiota might be involved in the effect of CSGS. Here, we investigated the antidepressant effects of CSGS against chronic variable stress (CVS)-induced depression rats with and without antibiotic treatment using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with time of flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF/MS) based metabolome approaches. As a result, the prominent effects of CSGS against the depression-like behavioral disorder of CVS-induced rats were significantly weakened when the gut microbiota was changed after oral administration of the broad-spectrum antibiotic. The mediation of CSGS on hippocampal levels of serotonin (5-HT) and glutamic acid (Glu) was also receded with the antibiotic treatment. Further investigation on the diversity of microbiome indicated that the improvement effect of CSGS on gut microbiota dysbiosis-especially the phylum level of Firmicutes-was attenuated compared with the CSGS combined antibiotic treated one. Moreover, 3-hydroxypicolinic acid (H4) and inosine (H8) in the hippocampus were considered as important biomarkers for depression and are also associated with gut microbiota mediated CSGS efficacy. Taken together, our current study indicated that gut microbiota is a critical factor in the antidepressant effect of CSGS, and this acts in part through gut microbiota to improve depression-related biomarkers.Functional magnesium oxide-lignin hybrid materials were obtained via mechanicalgrinding. Oncodazole Their particle shape and size as well as physicochemical properties were characterized.MgO-lignin materials with biocomponent content (between 20% and 80% amount of total weight offiller) were used as a partially bio-structured modifier of low density polyethylene. The compositeswith 5% by weight of dual fillers and polyethylene grafted with maleic anhydride werecompounded in a twin screw extruder working in co-rotating mode. The prepared blends were castextruded using a single screw extruder and laboratory cast line. The properties of the obtainedfilms were verified in case of their weldability. The seal strength as well as shear test and tearstrength of the welded sheets were examined. The results showed that the shortest equivalent timerequired to perform correct weld occurred in the system, where the highest amount of lignin wasused in hybrid filler MgO-L (15 w/w). From mechanical tests of welds, a sharp increase in ultimateseal force was noticed for almost all compositions with lignin, especially where MgO was coupledwith a high lignin content. For those composition seal open force raised up to 37.0 N, from thevalue of 23.6 N, achieved for neat low density polyethylene (LDPE). Tear strength of weld sheetsconfirmed once more that LDPE composition with MgO-L (15 w/w) achieved the highest ultimateforce with its value of 71.5 N, and it was ~20.0 N higher than in the case of neat LDPE.
