The aim of this study was to determine pore size of nylon mesh (NM) device suitable for cryosurvival of bovine mature oocytes and to apply the device to vitrification of large quantities of the oocytes. Ten to twelve oocytes were loaded onto an NM device (a square opening 37-, 57- or 77-μm on a side length). After removal of the excess volume of vitrification solution by paper absorption, the oocytes were vitrified-warmed, fertilized and cultured in vitro. Oocyte recovery and morphological survival were comparable among the three groups. However, blastocyst yield in the 37-μm group (39%) was higher than that in the 77-μm group (28%), and the yield in the 57-μm group (31%) was the intermediate. The 37-μm NM device was applicable for increased oocyte number >40 (blastocyst yield, 33%). These results suggest that 37-μm-pore sized NM can serve as cryodevice to vitrify large quantities of in vitro-matured bovine oocytes.

Common filter membranes for emulsion separation often require time-intensive preparation and extensive use of chemicals, necessitating a fast-processing and eco-friendly alternative. This study introduces a 2-layer stacked nylon mesh treated with surface diffuse atmospheric plasma (SDAP) for rapid and efficient emulsion separation. Commercial nylon mesh exhibited durable super-wetting properties after just 30 s of SDAP treatment, which was sufficient for effective emulsion separation.

Iron oxide-impregnated filter papers (FeO) facilitate the study of soil phosphorus (P) desorption, availability and dynamics. However, many studies use homogenized and saturated shaking FeO soil systems, hindering opportunities to resolve environmentally relevant experimental objectives. This study created and evaluated a static microcosm to study soil P dynamics with FeO papers.

The effectiveness and safety of two types of samples based on a biocompatible polymer material made of methacrylic oligomers (Reperen) as a potential antiadhesion pericardial barrier were evaluated in in vitro and in vivo experiments. Two kinds of samples, reinforced with a polyamide mesh and without reinforcement, were used. In in vitro experiments, no adhesion and aggregation of human fibroblasts to the test samples were detected.

Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.
