Green-Solvent Synthesis for In Situ Growth of Perovskite Phosphors without Ligand Assistance.

Cesium-lead halide perovskite nanomaterials have been considered new-generation emitters that can meet the requirements of high photoluminescence efficiency and the high color standard of Rec. 2020. However, their practical application is currently hindered by the challenge of achieving better stability and growth in green solvents.

Clinical significance of positron emission tomography-computed tomography in the classification of thymic tumors.

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the possibility of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET-CT) in identifying histological classification of thymic tumors.

Methods: Patients diagnosed as thymic tumors and accepted PET-CT scans were included. Thymic tumors were classified into three subgroups: low risk thymoma (A, AB and B1), high risk thymoma (B2, B3) and thymic carcinoma (TC).

Structural modification of lactoferrin by epigallocatechin gallate: elucidation of its structure and exploration of its potential in promoting osteoblast proliferation.

Lactoferrin (LF) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) are recognized for their potent osteogenic properties. However, the osteogenic activity of LF-EGCG complexes is not fully understood. In this study, both non-covalent and covalent LF-EGCG complexes with different LF : EGCG ratios were prepared, and their effects on the LF structure and thermal stability were investigated using circular dichroism, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry.

Enhancing Immune Responses through Modulation of Innate Cell Microenvironments in Lymph Nodes with Virus-Mimetic Vaccines.

Nanovaccines hold significant promise for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. However, the efficacy of many nanovaccines is often limited by inadequate stimulation of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Herein, we explore a rational vaccine strategy aimed at modulating innate cell microenvironments within lymph nodes (LNs) to enhance the generation of effective immune responses.

Eyelid and Canalicular Reconstruction in Peripunctal Tumors: Single-Center Experience Over Seven Years.

Study Design: Retrospective, noncomparative, and interventional case series.

Objective: Peripunctal tumors are uncommonly encountered. The management at the aesthetically and functionally sensitive area is demanding.
