In order to further understand high-temperature deformation behavior and its-related mechanical prop-erties,the Portevin-Le Chatelier(PLC)effect in an Fe-19Cr-13Ni-0.2C austenitic stainless steel was in-vestigated using high-temperature digital image correlation(DIC)*** the tensile testing at temperatures from 473 to 623 K,different types of serrated flow appeared even at a constant applied strain rate,and the type transition took place dynamically in a certain order with deformation *** analysis revealed that the dynamic type transition of the serrated flow obeys the PLC band propagation behavior,and that the transition of the PLC band propagation behavior could be attributed to the PLC band nucleation *** modeling also proved that the nucleation manner of PLC band nu-cleation is determined by the spatial-temporal coupling effect.

AIM To assess the clinical characteristics of patients with complicated erosive esophagitis(EE) and their associated *** This prospective, cross-sectional study included patients diagnosed with EE by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy between October 2014 and March 2015 at 106 Japanese hospitals. Data on medical history, general condition, gastrointestinal symptoms, lifestyle habits, comorbidities, and endoscopic findings were collected using a standard form to create a dedicated database. Logistic regression analysis was used to calculate adjusted odds ratios(aO R) and 95%CI for the association with complicated *** During the study period, 1749 patients diagnosed with EE, 38.3% of whom were prescribed proton pump inhibitors(PPIs) were included. Of them, 143(8.2%) had EE complications. Esophageal bleeding occurred in 84(4.8%) patients, esophageal strictures in 45(2.6%) patients, and 14(0.8%) patients experienced both. Multivariate analysis showed that increased age(a OR: 1.05; 95%CI: 1.03-1.08), concomitant use of psychotropic agents(a OR: 6.51; 95%CI: 3.01-13.61), and Los Angeles grades B(a OR: 2.69; 95%CI: 1.48-4.96), C(aO R: 15.38; 95%CI: 8.62-28.37), and D(aO R: 71.49; 95%CI: 37.47-142.01) were significantly associated with complications, whereas alcohol consumption 2-4 d/wk was negatively associated(a OR: 0.23; 95%CI: 0.06-0.61). Analyzing associated factors with each EE complication separately showed esophageal ulcer bleeding were associated with increased age(a OR: 1.05; 95%CI: 1.02-1.07) and Los Angeles grades B(aO R: 3.60; 95%CI: 1.52-8.50), C(a OR: 27.61; 95%CI: 12.34-61.80), and D(a OR: 119.09; 95%CI: 51.15-277.29), while esophageal strictures were associated with increased age(a OR: 1.07; 95%CI: 1.04-1.10), gastroesophageal reflux symptom(aO R: 2.51; 95%CI: 1.39-4.51), concomitantuse of psychotropic agents(a OR: 11.79; 95%CI: 5.06-27.48), Los Angeles grades C(aO R: 7.35; 95%CI: 3.32-16.25), and D(a OR: 20.34; 95%CI: 8.36-49.53) and long-
