Dynamic control of ultralong organic room-temperature phosphorescence (UORTP) is a charming target. Herein, we report a stimuli-responsive phosphorescence unit 7-indolo[2,3-]quinoline (NBCz) and its derivatives (PCBNBCz, FSONBCz, and NBCzSONBCz) that show photo- and oxygen- synergistically induced afterglow activation and afterglow color change in the PMMA film. PCBNBCz and FSONBCz feature a donor-acceptor (D-A) structure, and NBCzSONBCz features acceptor-bridged two different phosphorescence units (NBCz and NBCz).

We for the first time investigate the structure-function relationship between phosphorescence properties and molecular structures of . With BCz and BCz-1 as comparison, eight new were synthesized by introducing one or two nitrogen atoms to the naphthalene moiety.

In this study, we construct guest-matrix doping phosphorescence systems by using the derivatives (ISO2N-2, ISO2BCz-1, and ISO2BCz-2) of three phosphorescence units (N-2, BCz-1, and BCz-2) and two matrixes (ISO2Cz and DMAP) and systematically investigate their RTUOP properties. Firstly, the intrinsic phosphorescence properties of three guest molecules were studied in solution, in the pure powder state, and in PMMA film.

The sulfurized nZVI (S-nZVI) were prepared with ball milling, vacuum chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and liquid-phase reduction techniques and the corresponding products were the mixture of FeS and nZVI (nZVI/FeS), well-defined core-shell structure (FeS@Fe) or seriously oxidized (S-nZVI(aq)), respectively. All these materials were applied to eliminate 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) from water.

Despite extensive prior works in the related fields, it remains a technical challenge due to considerable variability of complex multi-muscle activation patterns in terms of volatile spatio-temporal characteristics. To address this issue, we first hypothesize that the inherent variability of the idle state immediately preceding the motion initiation needs to be addressed explicitly.

In this work, N-1, N-2, and their derivatives function as the guests, while organic powders (PNCz, BBP, DBT) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) serve as the host matrixes. Amazingly, the color of phosphorescence can be tuned in different states or by varying the host matrixes.

Herein, the successful synthesis of four Cz/Bd derivatives is reported, named as 2CzBr, CzBdBr, 2BdBr, and 3Bd, and the general mechanism for their ultralong organic phosphorescence (UOP) is provided. Bd and its derivatives give double groups of phosphorescence, including the short-wavelength phosphorescence with a short lifetime and the ultralong phosphorescence at long wavelengths, assigned to their neutral molecules and radical cations, respectively.

Here, we aimed to evaluate the effects of food specific IgG antibodies on headache, gastrointestinal symptoms, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, dermatosis, and serum inflammatory cytokines in migraine patients, and to quantitatively assess the effect of IgG levels on the severity of headache and its comorbidities.
Methods: Of 89 migraine patients, those who had one or more food specific IgG antibodies ≥50 U/mL were classified into the IgG positive group, which was then further divided into subgroups based on differing numbers of food allergens.
We aimed to develop an efficient and objective pre-evaluation method to identify the precise location of a focal cortical dysplasia lesion before surgical resection to reduce medication use and decrease the post-operative frequency of seizure attacks. We developed a novel machine learning-based approach using cortical surface-based features by integrating MRI and metabolic PET to identify focal cortical dysplasia lesions. Significant surface-based features of 22 patients with histopathologically proven FCD IIb lesions were extracted from PET and MRI images using FreeSurfer.
