Far-Field Phase-Shifting Structured Light Illumination Enabled by Polarization Multiplexing Metasurface for Super-Resolution Imaging.

The phase-shifting structured light illumination technique is widely used in imaging but often relies on mechanical translation stages or spatial light modulators, leading to system instability, low displacement accuracy, and limited integration feasibility. In response to these challenges, we propose and demonstrate an approach for generating far-field phase-shifting structured light using a polarization multiplexing metasurface. By controlling the polarization states of incident and transmitted light, the metasurface creates a three-step displacement of structured light, eliminating the need to move samples or illumination sources.

An alternative asymmetric figure-of-eight single-layer suture technique for bowel anastomosis in an porcine model.

Anastomotic techniques are of vital importance in restoring gastrointestinal continuity after resection. An alternative asymmetric figure-of-eight single-layer suture anastomotic technique was introduced and its effects were evaluated in an porcine model. Twelve 15-cm grossly healthy small intestine segments from a porcine cadaver were harvested and randomly divided into asymmetric figure-of-eight single-layer suture (figure-of-eight suture) and single-layer interrupted suture technique (interrupted suture) groups ( = 6 in each group).

Plasmonic fork-shaped hologram for vortex-beam generation and separation.

We introduce a multifunctional compact device that integrates a polarization beam splitter and an orbital angular momentum generator based on a plasmonic nano-aperture assisted detour phase meta-hologram. The proposed metasurface, which combines a phase singularity characterized fork hologram and polarization featured -shaped antenna, achieves vortex generation and spin-based vortex splitting in transmission mode. Experimental demonstrations are launched under a linearly polarized incident beam, with polarization tomography as the analysis method.

Spin-orbital angular momentum tomography of a chiral plasmonic lens using leakage radiation microscopy.

Based on the spin-dependent directional coupling of surface plasmons (SPs) by ∧-shaped antennas, ring-shaped structures built with such antennas have potential applications for optical tweezers and optical switch technology. In this Letter, we introduce an optical method for realizing a complete polarization tomography of coupled SP fields by such a chiral-planar structure. We use a far-field optical approach, namely leakage radiation microscopy (LRM), to map the SPs propagation and polarization.

SIRT1 activation inhibits hyperglycemia-induced apoptosis by reducing oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in human endothelial cells.

Sustained hyperglycemic stimulation of vascular cells is involved in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus‑induced cardiovascular complications. Silent information regulator T1 (SIRT1), a mammalian sirtuin, has been previously recognized to protect endothelial cells against hyperglycemia‑induced oxidative stress. In the present study, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUV‑EC‑C) were treated with D‑glucose, and the levels of oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, the rate of apoptosis and SIRT1 activity were measured.

A novel model for calculating the inter-electrode capacitance of wedge-strip anode.

The wedge strip anode (WSA) detector has been widely used in particle detection. In this work, a novel model for calculating the inter-electrode capacitance of WSA was proposed on the basis of conformal transformations and the partial capacitance method. Based on the model, the inter-electrode capacitance within a period was calculated besides the total inter-electrode capacitance.

[Vernier Anode Design and Image Simulation].

Based-MCP position-sensitive anode photon-counting imaging detector is good at detecting extremely faint light, which includes micro-channel plate (MCP), position-sensitive anode and readout, and the performances of these detectors are mainly decided by the position-sensitive anode. As a charge division anode, Vernier anode using cyclically varying electrode areas which replaces the linearly varying electrodes of wedge-strip anode can get better resolution and greater electrode dynamic range. Simulation and design of the Vernier anode based on Vernier's decode principle are given here.
