The optimal culture conditions of exopolysaccharides (EPS) production in submerged culture medium by Pleurotus geesteranus 5(#) were determined using an orthogonal matrix method. The optimal defined medium (per liter) was 60.0 g maltose, 5.0 g tryptone, 1 mM NaCl, 5 mM KH(2)PO(4), and initial pH 6.0 at 28 °C. In the optimal culture medium, the maximum EPS production was 16.97 g/L in a shake flask. Two groups of EPSs (designated as Fr-I and Fr-II) were obtained from the culture filtrates by size exclusion chromatography (SEC), and their molecular characteristics were examined by a multiangle laser-light scattering (MALLS) and refractive index (RI) detector system. The approximate weight-average molar masses of the Fr-I and Fr-II of EPS were determined to be 3.263 × 10(4) and 5.738 × 10(3) g/mol, respectively. The low values of polydispersity ratio (1.176 and 1.124 for Fr-I and Fr-II, respectively) of EPSs mean that these EPS molecules exist much less dispersed in aqueous solution without forming large aggregates. Furthermore, the experiments in vitro indicated that P. geesteranus 5(#) EPS exhibit high antitumor and antioxidative effects.

Advances in MIMO Antenna Design for 5G: A Comprehensive Review.

Sensors (Basel)

July 2023

Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Jawaharlal Nehru Government Engineering College, Sundernagar 175018, India.

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology has emerged as a highly promising solution for wireless communication, offering an opportunity to overcome the limitations of traffic capacity in high-speed broadband wireless network access. By utilizing multiple antennas at both the transmitting and receiving ends, the MIMO system enhances the efficiency and performance of wireless communication systems. This manuscript specifies a comprehensive review of MIMO antenna design approaches for fifth generation (5G) and beyond.

Article Synopsis
  • The study optimized submerged culture conditions for exopolysaccharide (EPS) production by M. H. Liu, identifying glucose and tryptone as the best carbon and nitrogen sources.
  • Under optimal conditions, EPS production reached 1.60 g/L after 6 days in a 5 L reactor, with two purified fractions (Fr-I and Fr-II) isolated.
  • Fr-II demonstrated superior properties in terms of yield, carbohydrate content, antioxidant capacity, and enzyme inhibitory activities, suggesting its potential use in food, medicine, and cosmetics.

A new pathologic classification for elbow stiffness based on our experience in 216 patients.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg

March 2020

Department of Orthopedics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital, Shanghai, China; Department of Orthopedics, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital East Affiliated to Shanghai University of Medicine and Health Sciences, Shanghai, China. Electronic address:

Background: Elbow stiffness commonly causes functional impairment and upper-limb disability. This study aimed to develop a new pathologic classification to further understand and standardize elbow arthrolysis from a new perspective, as well as to determine clinical outcomes.

Methods: Extension-flexion dysfunction was classified into 4 types: EF, tethers alone; EF, tethers with blocks; EF, articular malformation; and EF, bony ankylosis.

Background: Rapid emergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) organisms in hospital and community settings often result into treatment failure, thus leading the clinicians with fewer treatment options. Cyathea gigantea, an ethnomedicinally important fern used in cuts and wound infections. So, if this medicinal plant is used in treating the MDR infections then it might bring certain relief in future treatment options.

Background: Boron has been considered as an essential nutrient for decreasing lipid peroxidation and improving antioxidant mechanism in different animal species. On the other hand, its effect on quality or DNA damage following cryopreservation process in fish sperm is still unclear.

Objective: Experiments were designed to analyse the effect of an ionic based extender supplemented with boron on post-thawed motility, viability, fertility and DNA integrity of cryopreserved brown trout (Salmo trutta macrostigma) sperm.
