    Abstract: This study's aim consists of evaluating the adhesion and proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from rat bone marrow on nanoparticle Titanium (Ti) surface. Hence, passage 3 MSCs were, respectively, seeded on nanoparticle Ti and pure Ti surfaces and then cultured for 32 h. Cell morphology and viability were separately examined by scanning electron microscopy and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazsol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Moreover, the mitotic rate of the attached MSCs was observed through immunocytochemistry. The real-time polymerase chain reaction was applied to determine the adhesion-associated messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), CD44 gene encoding variant isoform 6 (CD44 V6), and the integrinβ1 level. The results showed that MSCs performed better in faster extension on the nanoparticle Ti surface than on the pure Ti surface after culturing for 4 h, and were quicker in fusion patterns after 16 h. Furthermore, cell viability was significantly increased on the nanoparticle Ti surface compared to that of the pure Ti surface 16 h after initial seeding ( p  〈  0.05), and the mitotic rate of attached MSCs on the nanoparticle Ti surface was higher than that on the pure Ti surface after 32 h ( p  〈  0.05). More interestingly, the CD44 V6 and integrinβ1 mRNA in the nanoparticle Ti surface group expressed higher than that in the pure Ti surface group after 4 h ( p  〈  0.05), and positive correlation between CD44 V6 and integrinβ1 was found through statistical analysis (correlation coefficient r s  = 0.98, p  〈  0.05). Our study's result indicates that a nanoparticle Ti surface can significantly promote the adhesion and proliferation of MSCs, and also improve the bioactivity of Ti surface.

    Abstract: This paper aims to study the effect of the secondary lateral stopper on the compressed stability of the couplers in order to improve the running safety of the heavy-haul locomotives. The influence mechanism of the secondary lateral stopper on the compressed stability of the couplers is theoretically analyzed. To verify the effect of the secondary lateral stopper, both the simulation and the field braking tests are conducted. The multi-body dynamic model consists of two eight-axle locomotives, one dummy of freight vehicle and four detailed connected couplers. The field braking tests are conducted on the tangent line using three eight-axle locomotives. The results indicate that decreasing the free clearance and increasing the stiffness of the secondary lateral stopper both have a positive effect. However, when the free clearance decreases from 20 mm to 10 mm, there is no remarkable decrease in the yaw angles of the coupler and the car body, and the maximum lateral force of the wheelset is still out of the standard in the simulation. When the stiffness of the secondary lateral stopper increases by five times, the yaw angles of the coupler and the car body are reduced significantly and the running safety of the locomotives is also enhanced.
