The results demonstrated that mechanical tension contributed to the formation of a hyperplastic scar in the back skin of rats, in conjunction with increases in both nerve density and nerve growth factor expression in the scar tissue. These experimental findings indicate that the cutaneous nervous system plays a role in hypertrophic scar formation caused by mechanical tension.展开更多

Mechanical stimulation regulates ENPP-1 expression. This study sought to investigate the changes in ENPP-1 expression after stimulation using cyclic mechanical tension (CMT).展开更多

The mechanism and effect of reducing stress during and after welding are compared. The results show that the effect of the former is better than that of the latter. Applying an external tension load of 200 MPa after welding, the maximum residual stress drops down from 235 MPa to about 90 MPa, moreover, it decreases to 30MPa when an external tension load of 200 MPa is applied during welding.展开更多
