The results show that for low bombarding energy of N ions dynamic recoiling at 10 keV and 20 keV, the coating layers are of excellent bonding strengths. The bonding strength of CrN coating with 40 keV static recoiling is higher than that of low energy(20 keV). On the other hand, the bonding strength of coating with 40 keV dynamic recoiling is much lower than that of static recoiling at the same energy and even less than that of dynamic recoiling intermixings at 10 keV and 20 keV energy. The results of scratch and spherical rolling contact fatigue methods exhibit the same trend for each group of recoiling methods, yet the results of the scratch and fatigue tests for two groups do not agree with each other.展开更多

IBS, a prevalent gastrointestinal condition marked by symptoms such as stomach pain, bloating, and changed bowel habits, implies that sufficient levels of Vitamin D may impact the symptomatology and quality of life associated with IBS. This review aimed to unveil current insights on vitamin D intake, status and symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. A search was conducted on Embase, Scopus, Medline, and Cochrane Library, as well as a reference list of relevant studies. This paper also examined the current therapeutic practices for using vitamin D in the management of IBS. Although several studies demonstrate a positive association between vitamin D administration and the alleviation of IBS symptoms, the data is not yet definitive. Moreover, the review emphasised the necessity for additional rigorous clinical studies to determine a definitive therapeutic function of vitamin D in IBS based on the literature. The role of vitamin D in the modulation of gut health, particularly in IBS, has garnered significant attention due to its potential impact on both inflammation and the integrity of the gut barrier. Vitamin D, acting as a hormone precursor, is recognised for its crucial involvement in maintaining calcium balance and promoting bone health.展开更多
