Cooling Condition Effect on Spectral Properties and Smartphone-Based Anticounterfeiting Application of ZnGaGeO/Cr Phosphors.

The influence of cooling history for the ZnGaGeO/Cr phosphors prepared by solid state reaction on the spectral properties was discovered, and an anticounterfeiting scheme based on the identification with smartphone was proposed and experimentally demonstrated using the studied phosphors. A combination of color-tunable visible fluorescence emission and near-infrared (NIR) afterglow emission in ZnGaGeO/ mol % Cr( = 0, 0.05, 1, 2, 3, and 4) phosphors to achieve multimode anticounterfeiting was reported.

20(R)-Panaxatriol enhances METTL3-mediated mA modification of STUB1 to inhibit autophagy and exert antitumor effects in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer cells.

Background: Aberrant activation of autophagy in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has led researchers to investigate potential therapeutic strategies targeting this process. The regulation of autophagy is significantly influenced by METTL3. Our previous research has shown that the Panax ginseng-derived compound, 20(R)-panaxatriol (PT), has potential as an anti-tumor agent.

Luminescence properties and Judd-Ofelt analysis of Tb doped SrYTaO double perovskite phosphors for white LED applications.

A series of Tb-doped SrYTaO double perovskite phosphors (SYT:Tb) were synthesized using a conventional solid-state reaction method. A strong green emission was observed in the SYT:Tb phosphors, and the optimal doping concentration of Tb was confirmed to be 5 mol%. The electric dipole-dipole interaction was ascribed to be the main mechanism for the luminescence concentration quenching.

Near infrared emissions from both high efficient quantum cutting (173%) and nearly-pure-color upconversion in NaY(WO):Er/Yb with thermal management capability for silicon-based solar cells.

Raising photoelectric conversion efficiency and enhancing heat management are two critical concerns for silicon-based solar cells. In this work, efficient Yb infrared emissions from both quantum cutting and upconversion were demonstrated by adjusting Er and Yb concentrations, and thermo-manage-applicable temperature sensing based on the luminescence intensity ratio of two super-low thermal quenching levels was discovered in an Er/Yb co-doped tungstate system. The quantum cutting mechanism was clearly decrypted as a two-step energy transfer process from Er to Yb.

Multicolor-emitting Er and Er/Yb doped ZnGeO phosphors combining static and dynamic identifications for advanced anti-counterfeiting application.

Anti-counterfeiting labels based on luminescence materials are a newly emerging technique for protecting legal goods and intellectual property. In the anti-counterfeiting field to prevent forgery and cloning, luminescence materials with properties different from the commercialized and traditional ones are in urgent need. In this work, multicolor-emitting Er single-doped and Er/Yb co-doped ZnGeO phosphors combining static and dynamic identifications were developed in order to achieve advanced anti-counterfeiting application.

"Guide" of muscone modification enhanced brain-targeting efficacy and anti-glioma effect of lactoferrin modified DTX liposomes.

Glioma is one of the most aggressive malignant diseases for human health. It is difficult to resect completely due to their invasiveness. The targeted delivery, as a noninvasive approach, is a major strategy for the development of treatments for brain tumors.

Identification of fatty acid metabolism-related clusters and immune infiltration features in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is a type of liver cancer which is characterized by inflammation-associated tumor. The unique characteristics of tumor immune microenvironment in HCC contribute to hepatocarcinogenesis. It was also clarified that aberrant fatty acid metabolism (FAM) might accelerate tumor growth and metastasis of HCC.

Neural Global Illumination: Interactive Indirect Illumination Prediction Under Dynamic Area Lights.

We propose neural global illumination, a novel method for fast rendering full global illumination in static scenes with dynamic viewpoint and area lighting. The key idea of our method is to utilize a deep rendering network to model the complex mapping from each shading point to global illumination. To efficiently learn the mapping, we propose a neural-network-friendly input representation including attributes of each shading point, viewpoint information, and a combinational lighting representation that enables high-quality fitting with a compact neural network.

Net Optical Gain Coefficients of Cu and Tm Single-Doped and Co-Doped Germanate Glasses.

Broadband tunable solid-state lasers continue to present challenges to scientists today. The gain medium is significant for realizing broadband tunable solid-state lasers.

Combined integrin αβ and lactoferrin receptor targeted docetaxel liposomes enhance the brain targeting effect and anti-glioma effect.

The integrin αβ receptor and Lactoferrin receptor (LfR) are over-expressed in both cerebral microvascular endothelial cells and glioma cells. RGD tripeptide and Lf can specifically bind with integrin αβ receptor and LfR, respectively. In our study, RGD and Lf dual-modified liposomes loaded with docetaxel (DTX) were designed to enhance the brain targeting effect and treatment of glioma.

The overall plant-based diet index during pregnancy and risk of gestational diabetes mellitus: a prospective cohort study in China.

The high overall plant-based diet index (PDI) is considered to protect against type 2 diabetes in the general population. However, whether the PDI affects gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk among pregnant women is still unclear. We evaluated the association between PDI and GDM risk based on a Chinese large prospective cohort - the Tongji Maternal and Child Health Cohort.

Fluorescence decay route of optical transition calculation for trivalent rare earth ions and its application for Er-doped NaYF phosphor.

Usually, the optical transition properties of trivalent rare earth (RE) ions in transparent hosts can be quantitatively investigated in the framework of Judd-Ofelt theory. A standard and commonly accepted calculation procedure based on the absorption spectrum has already been established. However, it is hard to assess the optical transition properties of trivalent RE ions doped in powdered and film materials owing to the difficulty in the absolute absorption spectrum measurements.
