Rat dorsal horn neurons primed by stress develop a long-lasting manifest sensitization after a short-lasting nociceptive low back input

Abstract.Background:.A single injection of nerve growth factor (NGF) into a low back muscle induces a latent sensitization of rat dorsal horn neurons (DHNs) that primes for a manifest sensitization by a subsequent second NGF injection.Repeated restraint stress also causes a latent DHN sensitization.Objective:.In this study, we investigated whether

Multi-objective Optimization Design of Wet Friction Clutches

The drag torque of the wet clutch affects the efficiency of the transmission, and the engagement torque of the clutch affects the reliability of the transmission.However, reducing the drag torque and increasing the engagement torque are generally contradictory.This study takes the wet friction clutch as the research object, and takes the inner diam
