After Gulielmina was erected and Ophiotheca was resurrected based on some species originally included in Perichaena (Trichiaceae, Trichiales, Myxomyxetes), some specimens from the Herbarium of Fungi of Nanjing Normal University previously identified as Perichaena species were reexamined from morphological and two-gene (nuclear 18S rDNA and elongation factor-1 alpha) phylogenetic perspectives. In this study, two new myxomycete species, Gulielmina subreticulospora and Ophiotheca dictyospora, are described. Gulielmina subreticulospora shows the following character combination: branched plasmodiocarps, single peridium with circular protrusions in the inner surface, capillitium (2.4-)2.8-3.0(-3.4) μm in diameter, spores (7.4-)8.0-8.5(-9.0) μm in diameter and sub-reticulated. Ophiotheca dictyospora shows the following character combination: sessile sporocarps to short plasmodiocarps, single peridium with a densely irregular network and protrusions in the inner surface, capillitium (2.7-)3.5-5.0(-7.1) μm in diameter, uneven, decorated with spines of uneven size, spores (7.7-)8.2-8.6(-9.4) μm in diameter including obviously complete cristate reticulation with serrated edges, with deep and clear grids. Both new taxa were compared with related species and their genetic isolation was statistically tested. Moreover, a comprehensive morphological description and a detailed figure plate are provided for Perichaena verrucifera, and its phylogenetic position is determined.

Background: Centrifugal compressors are dynamic machines utilizing a rotating impeller, efficiently accelerate incoming gases, transforming kinetic energy into pressure energy for compression. They serve a wide range of industries, including air conditioning, refrigeration, gas turbines, industrial processes, and applications such as air compression, gas transportation, and petrochemicals, demonstrating their versatility. Designing a centrifugal compressor poses challenges related to achieving high aerodynamic efficiency, surge and choke control, material selection, rotor dynamics, cavitation, erosion, and addressing environmental considerations while balancing costs.

In current research, an innovative pectic acid was grafted with poly (acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) [PA-g-poly (AAm-co-AA)] nanoporous membrane using a free radical-mediated grafting copolymerization process. The optimized parameters for the grafting copolymerization reaction such as initiator concentration, monomer concentrations, polymerization reaction time, and temperature were studied. Additionally, the solid content, graft percentage, and conversion were calculated.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of mortality among non-communicable diseases worldwide. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) is a widely used material for making artificial vascular grafts to treat CVDs; however, its application in small-diameter vascular grafts is limited by the issues of thrombosis formation and intimal hyperplasia. This paper presents a novel approach that integrates a hydrogel layer on the lumen of ePTFE vascular grafts through mechanical interlocking to efficiently facilitate endothelialization and alleviate thrombosis and restenosis problems.

Background: This study aims to compare the range of motion (ROM) of reverse shoulder arthroplasty lateralised by bony increased offset (BIO-RSA) using a standard 38-mm (mm) component to regular reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) lateralised by using a 42-mm glenoid component. The secondary aims are to compare patient-reported and radiographic outcomes between the two groups.

Materials And Methods: All patients with a BIO-RSA and size 38 glenosphere were retrospectively identified and matched to patients with a regular RSA and size 42 glenosphere.
