Stability analysis of homogeneous slopes with benches
Zhao, Lianheng,Xia, Peng,Xie, Rongfu,Li, Liang,Zhang, Yingbin,Cheng, Xiao Techno-Press 2017 Geomechanics & engineering Vol.13 No.3
In this paper, with a graphical approach, a series of stability charts for homogeneous slopes with benches are presented based on the upper bound limit analysis theory and strength reduction technique. The objective function of the slope safety factor $F_s$ is optimized by the nonlinear sequential quadratic programming, and a substantial number of examples are illustrated to use the stability charts for homogeneous slopes with benches driven by only the action of the soil weight. These charts can be applied to quick and accurate estimations of the stability status of homogeneous slopes with benches. Moreover, the failure modes and the formula for safety factor Fs of homogeneous slopes with benches are provided to illustrate the stability analysis of slopes with benches, which is validated by samples.

Purpose: Previous studies have confirmed that microRNAs play important roles in the pathogenesis of acute aortic dissection(AAD). Here, we aimed to explore the role of miR-145 and its regulatory mechanism in the pathogenesis of AAD. Materials and Methods: AAD tissue samples were harvested from patients with aortic dissection and normal donors. Rat aorticvascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) were transfected with miR-145 mimic/inhibitor or negative control mimic/inhibitor. Geneand protein expression was measured in human aortic dissection tissue specimens and VSMCs by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Luciferasereporter assay was applied to verify whether connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) was a direct target of miR-145 inVSMCs. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay was used to detect VSMC viability. Results: miR-145 expression was downregulated in aortic dissection tissues and was associated with the survival of patients withAAD. Overexpression of miR-145 promoted VSMC proliferation and inhibited cell apoptosis. Moreover, CTGF, which was increasedin aortic dissection tissues, was decreased by miR-145 mimic and increased by miR-145 inhibitor. Furthermore, CTGF wasconfirmed as a target of miR-145 and could reverse the promotion effect of miR-145 on the progression of AAD. Conclusion: miR-145 suppressed the progression of AAD by targeting CTGF, suggesting that a miR-145/CTGF axis may provide apotential therapeutic target for AAD.
