Upconversion Luminescence through Cooperative and Energy-Transfer Mechanisms in Yb -Metal-Organic Frameworks.

Lanthanide-doped metal-organic frameworks (Ln-MOFs) have versatile luminescence properties, however it is challenging to achieve lanthanide-based upconversion luminescence in these materials. Here, 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (BTC) and trivalent Yb ions were used to generate crystalline Yb-BTC MOF 1D-microrods with upconversion luminescence under near infrared excitation via cooperative luminescence. Subsequently, the Yb-BTC MOFs were doped with a variety of different lanthanides to evaluate the potential for Yb -based upconversion and energy transfer.

Insights into deterioration and reactivation of a mainstream anammox biofilm reactor response to C/N ratio.

In-depth knowledge of the deterioration and reactivation of the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) induced by carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) is still lacking. Herein, the anammox performance was investigated in an anaerobic sequence biofilm batch reactor fed with low-strength partial nitration effluent in the range of C/N ratio from 0.5 to 3.

The Preparation of Gen-NH-MCM-41@SA Nanoparticles and Their Anti-Rotavirus Effects.

Genistein (Gen), a kind of natural isoflavone drug monomer with poor water solubility and low oral absorption, was incorporated into oral nanoparticles with a new mesoporous carrier material, NH-MCM-41, which was synthesized by copolycondensation. When the ratio of Gen to NH-MCM-41 was 1:0.5, the maximum adsorption capacity of Gen was 13.

Establishment of a rotavirus-infected zebrafish model and its application in drug screening.

Rotavirus (RV) is one of the main pathogens that induce infantile diarrhea and by now no effective drugs are available for RV-induced infantile diarrhea. Thus the development of novel models is of vital importance for the pathological research of RV-induced infantile diarrhea, as well as the progress of the associated treatment strategy. Here we introduced for the first time that RV-Wa strain and RV-SA-11 strain could infect 5 dpf(day post fertilization) and 28 dpf larvae, to induce infantile diarrhea model that was highly consistent with the clinical infection of infants.

NIR -I and NIR-II irradiation tumor ablation using NbS nanosheets as the photothermal agent.

Photothermal therapy has been considered a powerful means of cancer therapy due to its minimal invasiveness, effectiveness, and convenience. Although promising, the therapeutic effects are greatly limited as they rely on the photothermal agent (PTA). It is urgent to develop new PTAs with high photothermal conversion performance, especially under irradiation in the long-wavelength biowindows.

A CORM loaded nanoplatform for single NIR light-activated bioimaging, gas therapy, and photothermal therapy .

Carbon monoxide (CO) can cause mitochondrial dysfunction, inducing apoptosis of cancer cells, which sheds light on a potential alternative for cancer treatment. However, the existing CO-based compounds are inherently limited by their chemical nature, such as high biological toxicity and uncontrolled CO release. Therefore, a nanoplatform - UmPF - that addresses such pain points is urgently in demand.
