We studied the rheological properties of mineral clay (OMC) and sodium alginate (SA) pastes using steady shear, dynamic oscillatory, and transient tests. The results showed that OMC was a viscoplastic fluid and had more obvious shear-thinning features than SA, which fitted well to the Herschel–Bulkley model. Under strain, OMC and SA exhibited elastic and viscous behavior, respectively, within the linear viscoelastic region. The viscosity of OMC returned to >60% of the initial viscosity after the removal of the high shear stress. In printing experiments, the color yield and penetration of OMC surpassed that of SA and offered excellent outline sharpness, suggesting that it has the potential to be used as a thickener for reactive dyes in cotton printing.

Biopolymers are suitable replacement materials for different chemical processes. In this work, silk yarns were treated with different chitosan concentration and then dyed with mono and bi-functional reactive dyes. The color yield, color difference and color fastness to light and washing of the dyed silk yarns were evaluated. Also, the effects of chitosan concentration, type of the reactive dyes on dye uptake of samples were studied. The bi-functional reactive dye has a high adsorption compared to mono-functional ones. The silk yarn treated with 3% chitosan had higher K/S values, washing and light fastness. The effects of chitosan on the antibacterial properties of silk yarns against two kinds of bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were investigated. The treated silk samples were found to have antibacterial potential due to the antibacterial property of chitosan. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) photographs reveal the deposition of chitosan on the treated yarns. Washing durability, handle properties, and yellowness of treated and dyed samples were also investigated.

A model is proposed by which the formation of the vascular network in animals proceeds via progressive penetration of the vessel ramification into a capillary mesh, by means of a laplacian growth mechanism of hydrodynamical origin. In this model, the growth of both arteries and veins follows the directions of high shear stress provoked by the blood flow on the endothelial wall of a pre-existing capillary mesh. This process is shown to be identical to the phenomenon of dendritic growth, which is responsible for the formation of such well-known patterns as dendritic crystals, lightning sparks or branching aggregates of bacteria. A number of straightforward consequences of potentially important medical and physiological interests are deduced. These include the natural and spontaneous organization of the arterial and venal trees, the spontaneous and unavoidable tropism of arteries towards veins and vice-versa, the hierarchical character of the vessels and the possibility of computerized prediction of the vascular pattern from the shape of the capillary bed.

Antiplatelet agents are important in the pharmacotherapeutic regime for many cardiovascular diseases, including thrombotic disorders. However, bleeding, the most serious adverse effect associated with current antiplatelet therapy, has led to many efforts to discover novel anti-platelet drugs without bleeding issues. Of note, shear stress-induced platelet aggregation (SIPA) is a promising target to overcome bleeding since SIPA happens only in pathological conditions. Accordingly, this study was carried out to discover antiplatelet agents selectively targeting SIPA. By screening various herbal extracts, Paeonia suffruticosa and its major bioactive constituent, paeoniflorin, were identified to have significant inhibitory effects against shear-induced aggregation in human platelets. The effects of paeoniflorin on intraplatelet calcium levels, platelet degranulation, and integrin activation in high shear stress conditions were evaluated by a range of in vitro experiments using human platelets. The inhibitory effect of paeoniflorin was determined to be highly selective against SIPA, through modulating von Willebrand Factor (vWF)-platelet glycoprotein Ib (GP Ib) interaction. The effects of paeoniflorin on platelet functions under high shear stress were confirmed in the ex vivo SIPA models in rats, showing the good accordance with the anti-SIPA effects on human platelets. Treatment with paeoniflorin significantly prevented arterial thrombosis in vivo from the dose of 10 mg/kg without prolonging bleeding time or blood clotting time in rats. Collectively, our results demonstrated that paeoniflorin can be a novel anti-platelet agent selectively targeting SIPA with an improved safety profile.
