    Abstract The influence of aramid short fiber (ASF) on the rheological, thermal, and mechanical properties of thermoplastic polyketone (PK)-based composites is investigated. To attain improved interfacial adhesion between the ASF filler and the PK matrix, glycidyl methacrylate-grafted PK (PKGMA) is prepared by in situ melt-blending. The modified PK-based composites with various ASF contents of 0.5–10.0 wt% are manufactured via melt-compounding and injection-molding. The electron microscopic images show that ASFs at 0.5–7.0 wt% loadings are dispersed uniformly in the PKGMA-based composites and they have good interfacial bonding with the PKGMA matrix. The infrared spectroscopic analysis confirms the effectual modification of PKGMA and the presence of hydrogen bonding interactions as well as chemical reactions between the amide group of ASFs and the GMA group of the PKGMA matrix in the PKGMA/ASF composites, unlike a PK/ASF composite. The melt-rheological data support the existence of chemical grafting reactions of PKGMA on the ASF filler. As a result, the crystallization of the PKGMA matrix in the composites is hindered by the presence of the ASF filler. However, the thermal stability of PKGMA/ASF composites is improved noticeably. In addition, the tensile and dynamic mechanical moduli of PKGMA are improved most significantly with the addition of 7.0 wt% ASFs.

    Abstract Purpose: With technological advancements in radiation therapy for tumors of the central nervous system (CNS), high doses of ionizing radiation can be delivered to the tumors with improved accuracy. Despite the reduction of ionizing radiation-induced toxicity to surrounding tissues of the CNS, a wide array of side effects still occurs, particularly late-delayed changes. These alterations, such as white matter damages and neurocognitive impairments, are often debilitative and untreatable, significantly affecting the quality of life of these patients, especially children. Oligodendrocytes, a major class of glial cells, have been identified to be one of the targets of radiation toxicity and are recognized be involved in late-delayed radiation-induced neuropathological changes. These cells are responsible for forming the myelin sheaths that surround and insulate axons within the CNS. Here, the effects of ionizing radiation on the oligodendrocyte lineage as well as the common clinical manifestations resulting from radiation-induced damage to oligodendrocytes will be discussed. Potential prophylactic and therapeutic strategies against radiation-induced oligodendrocyte damage will also be considered.
    Conclusion: Oligodendrocytes and oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) are radiosensitive cells of the CNS. Here, general responses of these cells to radiation exposure have been outlined. However, several findings have not been consistent across various studies. For instance, cognitive decline in irradiated animals was observed to be accompanied by obvious demyelination or white matter changes in several studies but not in others. Hence, further studies have to be conducted to elucidate the level of contribution of the oligodendrocyte lineage to the development of late-delayed effects of radiation exposure, as well as to classify the dose and brain region-specific responses of the oligodendrocyte lineage to radiation. Several potential therapeutic approaches against late-delayed changes have been discussed, such as the transplantation of OPCs into irradiated regions and implementation of exercise. Many of these approaches show promising results. Further elucidation of the mechanisms involved in radiation-induced death of oligodendrocytes and OPCs would certainly aid in the development of novel protective and therapeutic strategies against the late-delayed effects of radiation.

    Abstract Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are widely used in various fields such as military, industrial, and transportation for real-time monitoring, sensing, and data collection of different environments or objects. However, the development of WSNs is hindered by several limitations, including energy, storage space, computing power, and data transmission rate. Among these, the availability of power energy plays a crucial role as it directly determines the lifespan of WSN. To extend the life cycle of WSN, two key approaches are power supply improvement and energy conservation. Therefore, we propose an energy harvesting system and a low-energy-consumption mechanism for WSNs. Firstly, we delved into the energy harvesting technology of WSNs, explored the utilization of solar energy and mechanical vibration energy to ensure a continuous and dependable power supply to the sensor nodes, and analyzed the voltage output characteristics of bistable piezoelectric cantilever. Secondly, we proposed a neighbor discovery mechanism that utilizes a separation beacon, is based on reply to ACK, and can facilitate the identification of neighboring nodes. This mechanism operates at a certain duty cycle ratio, significantly reduces idle listening time and results in substantial energy savings. In comparison to the Disco and U-connect protocols, our proposed mechanism achieved a remarkable reduction of 66.67% and 75% in the worst discovery delay, respectively. Furthermore, we introduced a data fusion mechanism based on integer wavelet transform. This mechanism effectively eliminates data redundancy caused by spatiotemporal correlation, resulting in a data compression rate of 5.42. Additionally, it significantly reduces energy consumption associated with data transmission by the nodes.

    Abstract This study prepares composite panels with three Polylactic acid (PLA)-based materials via the multi-material fused filament fabrication method. The influences of four processing parameters on the mechanical properties of 3D-printed samples are investigated employing the Taguchi method. These parameters include the relative volume ratio, material printing order, filling pattern, and filling density. A "larger is better" signal-to-noise analysis is performed to identify the optimal combination of printing parameters that yield maximum bending strength and bending modulus of elasticity. The results reveal that the optimal combination of printing parameters that maximizes the bending strength involves a volume ratio of 1:1:2, a material sequence of PLA/foam-agent-modified eco-friendly PLA (ePLA-LW)/glass fiber-reinforced eco-friendly PLA (ePLA-GF), a Gyroid filling pattern, and a filling density of 80%, and the optimal combination of printing parameters for maximum bending modulus involves a volume ratio of 1:2:1 with a material sequence of PLA/ePLA-LW/ePLA-GF, a Grid filling pattern, and 80% filling density. The Taguchi prediction method is utilized to determine an optimal combination of processing parameters for achieving optimal flexural performances, and predicted outcomes are validated through related experiments. The experimental values of strength and modulus are 43.91 MPa and 1.23 GPa, respectively, both very close to the predicted values of 46.87 MPa and 1.2 GPa for strength and modulus. The Taguchi experiments indicate that the material sequence is the most crucial factor influencing the flexural strength of the composite panels. The experiment result demonstrates that the flexural strength and modulus of the first material sequence are 67.72 MPa and 1.53 GPa, while the flexural strength and modulus of the third material sequence are reduced to 27.09 MPa and 0.72 GPa, respectively, only 42% and 47% of the first material sequence. The above findings provide an important reference for improving the performance of multi-material 3D-printed products.

    Abstract Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a severe peripheral neuroinflammatory demyelinating disease characterized by symmetrical progressive limb weakness, which can be accompanied by cranial nerve and sensory disturbances. There is usually a history of bacterial or viral infection prior to onset. GBS is rarely seen after traumatic brain injury (TBI). We report a case of a 66-year-old male patient who presented with dilated pupils, followed by respiratory failure and symmetrical quadriplegia during a conservative treatment for TBI. He was eventually diagnosed with GBS and was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin, followed by rehabilitation therapy with a good recovery. We summarize previous similar cases and analyze possible causes. It is suggested that the possibility of GBS should be considered when unexplained symptoms occurred in patients with TBI, such as respiratory failure, dilated pupils, and limb weakness.
