To investigate the effect of aging on the self-healing ability of styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer(SBS)-modified asphalt, a molecular model of SBS-modified asphalt was established. The reasonableness of the model was verified by calculating the glass transition temperature, cohesive energy density, and solubility parameter. Based on this, a self-healing model for SBS-modified asphalt was developed to evaluate its self-healing performance under different aging conditions. The results show that both asphalt aging and SBS aging will reduce the self-healing ability of SBS modified asphalt at room temperature. Notably, asphalt aging has a more significant impact on the self-healing ability of SBS-modified asphalt, while the effect of SBS aging is relatively minor. Compared to the self-healing model of “matrix asphalt + SBS”, the crack repair time in the “aging asphalt + aging SBS” self-healing model is significantly extended. Rejuvenation of asphalt is crucial for improving the crack repair performance of aged asphalt mixtures. The research results provide theoretical reference for the development and design optimization of road asphalt materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BACKGROUND: Peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor gamma co-activator 1α (PGC-1α) is closely related to aging and plays an important regulatory role in exercise anti-aging. However, there is a lack of comprehensive reviews on the role of PGC-1α in exercise anti-aging from the perspective of different tissues and organs. OBJECTIVE: To provide a detailed overview of the role of PGC-1α in exercise anti-aging and discuss its regulation from the perspective of different tissues and organs. METHODS: A literature search was conducted from May 1, 2023 to July 1, 2023. The search covered self-built databases up to July 2023, as well as databases such as Web of Science, PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang, and VIP. The Chinese search terms included “PGC-1α, peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor gamma co-activator 1α, PPARGC1A, aging, exercise, older adults”. The English search terms were “PGC-1α, aging, exercise, exercise training, older adults”. Boolean logical operators were used to connect the search terms, and corresponding search strategies were developed. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 83 articles were included in the review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) PGC-1α is an important transcriptional coactivator that plays a key regulatory role in maintaining mitochondrial function, regulating energy metabolism, and adapting to different metabolic demands. (2) PGC-1α has a significant regulatory role in mitochondrial aging and various functions in multiple cell types, and is associated with inflammatory pathways, redox control, protein modifications, and epigenetic changes. (3) The expression level of PGC-1α can be increased by exercise training, and it exerts positive effects through regulating mitochondrial biogenesis, energy metabolism, and antioxidative stress pathways. It plays an important role in exercise-induced improvement of adipose tissue aging, cardiovascular aging, neurosystem aging, renal aging, skeletal muscle aging, and liver aging. (4) The expert group recommends future research directions including exploring the regulatory effects of different types, intensities, and durations of exercise on PGC-1α expression, studying the regulatory mechanisms of protein modifications and epigenetic changes in PGC-1α, and strengthening the research on the mechanisms of PGC-1α in different aging-related diseases.

Direct-injection SBS modified asphalt has advantages such as easy quality control, low cost, and minimal pollution. It can address the issue of unstable quality in conventional wet-process SBS modified asphalt and has been gradually widely applied in recent years. This study investigated the aging resistance performance of direct-injection SBS modified asphalt at different dosages through short-term aging. By conducting temperature scanning tests, mid-temperature fatigue performance tests, low-temperature rheological property tests, and atomic force microscope tests on the aged direct-injection modified asphalt, the aging resistance performance of the SBS modified asphalt was studied from macroscopic to microscopic scales. The macroscopic experimental results indicated that the direct-injection SBS modified asphalt exhibited an increase in elastic components and fatigue life after short-term aging. During the aging process, the Guolu direct-injection SBS modified asphalt showed a secondary development phenomenon. The microscopic test results revealed that, after short-term aging, both conventional wet-process SBS modified asphalt and Liaohe direct-injection SBS modified asphalt exhibited reduced roughness due to changes in the content of the four components and the degradation of SBS. In contrast, the Guolu direct-injection SBS modified asphalt exhibited increased surface roughness due to further swelling development, consistent with the conclusions drawn from the macroscopic tests.

As emerging contaminants, microplastics (MPs) and antibiotics are often detected simultaneously in the water environment, and antibiotics in the water environment are often found on the surface of MPs. MPs can absorb, collect and carry various organic pollutants in water environment through surface adsorption and migration. Compared with the original MPs, the aging MPs has stronger adsorption capacity due to smaller particle size, larger specific surface area, and more adsorption sites. The environmental aging mode of MPs and the adsorption behavior of MPs on various antibiotics in water environment after aging were mainly reviewed, The aging method of MPs and the influencing factors and adsorption mechanism of antibiotics was summarized, and prospects for the aging problem of MPs and the effect on antibiotic adsorption was put forward.

Objective To explore whether aging is an independent factor in speech perception ability and to clarify the impact mode of aging on the ability to perceive speech cues. Methods This study recruited normal-hearing youth group (n=10, average age of 24 years) and elderly group (n=15, average age of 67 years). Closed-set mandarin speech (CMS) was used to evaluate the speech recognition thresholds (SRTs) of the two group sunder four different speech perception cues (“baseline” condition, “fundamental frequency” condition, “spatial” condition, and “fundamental frequency + spatial” condition). The effect of aging on the ability to utilize fundamental frequency cues and/or spatial cues was quantitatively assessed by comparing SRTs under the four conditions. Results RM-ANOVA showed that under the conditions of “baseline”, “fundamental frequency” and “spatial”, the SRTs of the elderly group were higher (worse) than those of the young group (All P<0.05). The difference between the two groups under the condition of “fundamental frequency + space” showed no statistical significance (P>0.05). When analysis was performed with hearing threshold as a covariate, there was no significant difference in SRT between the elderly group and the young group in the “spatial” condition (P>0.05). Under the conditions of “fundamental frequency”, “spatial” and “fundamental frequency + space”, the MRs of the elderly group decreased compared with the young group, but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusions The speech perception ability of the elderly in complex contexts is significantly worse than that of the young people. However, when speech has both fundamental frequency and spatial cues, the elderly can still use the two cues comprehensively to achieve similar perceptual performance as young people. Excluding the effect of hearing acuity, aging significantly weakens the ability to perceive speech fundamental frequency cues, but has no significant effect on the ability to utilize spatial cues.

In this paper, accelerated aging experiments under salt spray and vibration conditions were conducted on an auxiliary switch, and the surface corrosion, opening and closing state and spring length of the auxiliary switch will be selected as characteristic parameters to investigate the influence of environmental factors on its performance. The research results indicate that salt spray will make the surface wiring screw rust, when nickel layer is damaged, it can lead to a decrease in the content of nickel elements, the opposite of iron element. In addition to salt spray will also invade the internal, causing the opening and closing process jams, making the opening and closing torque increased by about 54%. Under the influence of vibration, the spring inside the auxiliary switch turns slack under the influence of external force, so that some of its wiring points cannot be opened and closed normally, and the vibration causes the internal structure to loosen, making the opening torque drop about 24.1%. The results of this paper have important reference significance for mastering the operation status of the auxiliary switch of the circuit breaker operating mechanism under complex working conditions, carrying out life prediction of the auxiliary switch of the circuit breaker operating mechanism, and preventing the fault occurrence of the circuit breaker operating mechanism.

Japan has one of the fastest growing aging populations in the world. By 2040, Japan's aged adult population is estimated to increase to a historically unprecedented level of 40 percent. As the population ages, the prevalence of frailty, a significant predictive factor for nursing care, is expected to rise. Eggs are recognized as functional foods that provide an array of essential nutrients and bioactive compounds that can positively impact human health, making them a cost-effective dietary choice. Given that eggs are a rich source of high-quality protein, they have the potential to prevent frailty. However, few studies have investigated the association between habitual egg consumption and frailty prevention. In the Shimane University Cohort Study, which mainly focuses on the Oki Islands, we examined this association in community-dwelling older adults. In this paper, we will review the main findings regarding the link between habitual egg consumption and frailty in our cohort study, as well as other recent publications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BACKGROUND: In recent years, studies on chronic diseases related to aging have attracted wide attention worldwide. As the heart grows with age, premature aging may occur. Exercise is a safe and healthy intervention that can delay its aging. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of regular aerobic exercise on the aging of cardiomyocytes and explore its mechanism. METHODS: Healthy male SPF Sprague-Dawley rats aged 3 months (young, n=20), 13 months (middle age, n=24), and 22 months (old, n=24) were randomly divided into youth rest group, youth exercise group, middle age rest group, middle age exercise group, old age rest group, and old age exercise group. The three resting groups did not do aerobic exercise intervention, and the three exercise groups were given a 10-week incremental load aerobic treadmill exercise consisting of 6-week incremental load exercise and 4-week constant load exercise. RT-PCR and immunohistochemical detection were used to detect myocardial Beclin-1, CaMKIIα1, AMPKα1/pAMPKα1, and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway-related proteins and genes. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After regular aerobic exercises, compared with the three resting groups, the expression levels of Beclin-1 in cardiomyocytes were significantly down-regulated in the three exercise groups. The expression levels of myocardial CaMKIIα1 mRNA were also down-regulated in the three exercise groups. The protein expression levels of pAMPKα1 and AMPKα1 in the three resting groups showed an aging trend, and the expression levels of AMPKα1 in the young, middle age, and old age exercise groups were up-regulated by 16.50% (P < 0.05), 63.09% (P < 0.05), and 31.12% (P < 0.01), respectively. The expression levels of pAMPKα1 were also significantly up-regulated by 131.29% in the young exercise group (P < 0.01), 40.55% in the middle age exercise group (P < 0.01), and 16.77% in the old age exercise group (P < 0.05). Overall, the expression levels of PI3K in the myocardium were down-regulated in the three exercise groups compared with the three resting groups, while the expression levels of AKT1 mRNA were down-regulated in the young and middle age exercise groups. The expression level of mTOR mRNA was slightly down-regulated in the young exercise group, little changed in the middle age exercise group, and significantly upregulated in the old age exercise group. To conclude, aerobic exercise can significantly up-regulate the expression of PI3K, promote the activity of mTOR, downregulate the expression of CaMKIIα1, down-regulate the ratio of pAMPKα1/AMPKα1, decrease the expression of Beclin-1, regulate the level of myocardial autophagy, and make it tend to be normal and stable in aged rats, thereby delaying myocardial aging.

Biochar can be expected to improve soil quality, environmental pollution stress, greenhouse effect, and soil remediation, due to its high stability and carbon content. A series of influencing factors can also be found in the properties of biochar, such as the raw materials, temperature, and atmosphere. Among them, the pyrolysis atmosphere and temperature have been two of the most important parameters to dominate the final yield, surface functional groups, and pore structure properties of biochar. The commonly-used high temperature and slow pyrolysis have limited the promotion and application in the process of biochar preparation. Fortunately, the low-temperature oxygen-limited pyrolysis has been developed for cost saving, high yield, and greenhouse gas reduction. The more complex structure and acidic groups can also provide more ion adsorption sites for the pollutants. In addition, the environmental application of biochar is also confined by oxidation, temperature, and humidity differences, and light factors, leading to the varying specific surface area, functional group content, and surface structure properties. The natural aging of biochar in the environment cannot fully meet the large-scale production in recent years. Particularly, the efficacy and possible chemical changes cannot be accurately predicted in a short time during long-term natural aging. This study aims to clarify the aging performance of biochar and its ability to absorb heavy metals under different natural environmental conditions (redox, rainfall, and sunlight). Two types of the original wheat biochars were pyrolyzed at 200°C−O2 and 500°C−N2 aged by chemical oxidation, dry-wet cycles, and finally the UV light oxidation to simulate the aging process of biochar in the natural environment. The physicochemical properties and cadmium (Cd) adsorption capacity of the aged biochar were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), specific surface area analysis (SSA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TG). The results showed that there were significantly different properties of biochar that were prepared at different temperatures and atmospheres. Specifically, the low-temperature biochar contained the more oxygen-containing functional groups, whereas, the pore structure was developed to increase the specific surface area of the biochar after the high-temperature pyrolysis. The more seriously rupturing pore structures also increased the specific surface area of aged biochar, compared with the original ones. The specific surface area of lowtemperature biochar after dry-wet cycles increased by 0.85 times. By contrast, the specific surface area of the low- and hightemperature biochar after chemical oxidation increased by 8.81 and 0.37 times, respectively. The aging process reduced the types of functional groups. There was also a variation in the number of oxygen-containing functional groups. Particularly, chemical oxidation promoted the number of oxygen-containing functional groups, such as the carboxyl and lactone groups, whereas, the wet-dry cycles and UV light aging reduced the number of oxygen-containing functional groups. In addition, TG analysis showed that the chemical oxidation decreased the thermal stability of low-temperature biochar, while the thermal stability of high-temperature biochar increased after all aging processes. The adsorption capacity for the Cd2+ of aged biochar increased by 498.95%-799.36%, 436.10%-768.43%, and 35.53%-128.10%, respectively, after chemical oxidation, UV light oxidation, and dry-wet cycles. Therefore, it is highly required to fully consider the environmental parameters, material properties, and targeted pollutants in the applications of biochar technology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Anti-aging effects of a Salacia plant, Salacia reticulata, on skin were investigated in in vitro evaluation systems. Aqueous extracts prepared from the leaves and stems of S. reticulata inhibited the activities of hyaluronidase and collagenase activities. Furthermore, these extracts of S. reticulata showed a suppressive effect against the degradation of insoluble elastin fibers caused by irradiation with ultraviolet ray (UV). These results suggest that the extracts prepared from the leaves and stems of S. reticulata could prevent the wrinkles and sagging, and keep the moisturizing capacity in the skin. Though polyphenol components, such as mangiferin, (-)-epicatechin (EC), and (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC), partialy contributed to the inhibitory effects on hyaluronidase and collagenase activities, other active components would be predicted. The extracts of S. reticulata did not strongly inhibit elastase activity. Next, the extracts of S. reticulata also inhibited the formation of Amadori compounds and Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) which are procduced from Amadori compounds. Then the extracts of S. reticulata are expected to prevent saccharification reaction according to aging in human body. The polyphenol components in the extracts could contribute to the suppressive effects of the extracts on the degradation of elastin fibers with irradiation of UV and the formations of Amadori compounds and AGEs by their antioxidative activities. The extracts of the leaves and stems of S. reticulata have the potential to prevent various symptoms seen in skin aging. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aging effect of plasma treatment on wettability, sorption of silver, and antimicrobial activity b i Aging effect, as stated in the introduction, occurs after plasma treatment, when the activated surface of fibers changes its properties over time (Shishoo [38]). Yeast I C. albicans i is the least susceptible to the activity of antimicrobial cotton samples; however, the activity of samples also increases with aging after plasma treatment, especially after treatment in oxygen and nitrogen. Moisture sorption (Figure 1b) is less affected by plasma treatment (the results are within the limits of the measurement error) probably due to the fact that plasma treatment itself is a surface based modification method while the bulk of material (which is responsible for moisture sorption) is nearly unaffected by the plasma treatment.
