(CHNO)[BiBr]·2HO and (CHNO)[BiCl]Cl·2HO: Exploring Birefringent Crystals in Hybrid Halide Systems.

In this study, new hybrid birefringent crystals of (CHNO)[BiBr]·2HO and (CHNO)[BiCl]Cl·2HO were successfully synthesized by introducing a new birefringent group [CHNO] by a simple aqueous solution evaporation method. They crystallize in the 2/ space group, and their structure consists mainly of the π-conjugated group [CHNO] and the octahedron centered on Bi. By first-principles calculations, the birefringence response comes from the [CHNO] group with a planar π-conjugated structure.

[Expression and Clinical Significance of Exosome Component 4 in Newly Diagnosed Patients with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma].

Objective: To explore the expression of Exosome Component 4（EXOSC4） in the tissues of newly diagnosed patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and its clinical significance.

Methods: The expression of EXOSC4 protein in the tissues of 181 newly diagnosed DLBCL patients was analyzed by immunohistochemical staining. Clinical data were collected.

Tilt grain boundaries in WS from low to high misorientation angles.

Grain boundaries (GBs) with low misorientation angles are interfacing lines connecting sparsely distributed dislocation cores, but high-angle GBs could have amorphous atomic arrangements with merged dislocations. Tilt GBs in two-dimensional materials frequently emerge in large-scale specimen production. In graphene, a critical value for differentiating low and high angles is quite big because of its flexibility.

Interfacial Assemble of Prussian Blue Analog to Access Hierarchical FeNi (oxy)-Hydroxide Nanosheets for Electrocatalytic Water Splitting.

Developing facile methods for the synthesis of active and stable electrocatalysts is vitally important to realize overall water splitting. Here, we demonstrate a practical method to obtain FeNiOOH nanosheets on nickel foam (NF) as bifunctional electrocatalyst by growing a FeCo Prussian blue analog with further oxidation under ambient conditions. The binder-free, self-standing FeNiOOH/NF electrode with hierarchical nanostructures requires low overpotentials of 260 mV and 240 mV at a current density of 50 mA cm for oxygen evolution reaction and hydrogen evolution reaction, respectively, in 1.

Ytterbium-Doped CsPbCl Quantum Cutters for Near-Infrared Light-Emitting Diodes.

Exploring highly efficient near-infrared (NIR) emitting materials is desirable for the advancement of next-generation smart NIR light sources. Different from most reported Cr-doped emitters with far-red emissions, Yb-activated phosphors are expected to yield pure NIR (∼1000 nm) light. Herein, a new hot-injection route using all metal-oleate salts to fabricate Yb-doped CsPbCl perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) is reported for the first time, which produce PeNC-sensitized Yb NIR emission with photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) higher than 100%.

Ag-Modified ZnO Nanorod Array Fabricated on Polyester Fabric and Its Enhanced Visible-Light Photocatalytic Performance by a Built-in Electric Field and Plasmonic Effect.

ZnO nanorod arrays (NRAs) were fabricated on polyester fabrics (PFs) by a two-step method and modified with Ag by magnetron sputtering. The photogenerated charge transport properties of the Ag/ZnO nanorod heterojunctions were studied by a self-made Kelvin probe system and a surface photovoltage (SPV) test system. The measured work functions (WFs) of the deposited Ag and ZnO nanorod are 4.

Prognostic Significance of Blood Transfusion in Elderly Patients with Primary Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma.

The current study sought to evaluate whether blood transfusions affect survival of elderly patients with primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). A total of 104 patients aged 60 years and over were enrolled and divided into two groups: 24 patients who received transfusions and 80 patients who did not. Statistical analyses showed significant differences in LDH levels, platelet (Plt) counts, and hemoglobin (Hb) and albumin (Alb) levels between the two groups.

High Expression of Phosphorylated Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase (ERK1/2) is Associated with Poor Prognosis in Newly Diagnosed Patients with Multiple Myeloma.

BACKGROUND Previous research has demonstrated that the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MEK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway is commonly activated in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. However, the prognostic value of activation of the MEK/ERK signaling pathway in newly diagnosed patients with MM has not been reported. MATERIAL AND METHODS Expression levels of p-ERK1/2 protein in bone marrow biopsy specimens obtained from 60 newly diagnosed patients with MM were analyzed using immunohistochemistry, and classified into 3 groups: high p-ERK1/2 expression, low p-ERK1/2 expression, and negative group.

[Arginase Level in Suspended Red Blood Cells Storaged for Different Time].

Objective: To explore the effect of storage time on arginase level, and the possible source of arginase in suspended red blood cells (RBC).

Methods: The arginase and myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels in suspended RBC and control plasma were detected by ELISA. The free hemoglobin level in suspended RBC and control plasma were detected by colorimetric method.

[Effect of midazolam on mantle cell lymphoma JeKo-1 cell line and its relevant mechanisms].

This study was aimed to explore the effect of midazolam on mantle cell lymphoma cell line JeKo-1 and the relevant mechanisms. Effects of midazolam on the proliferation and apoptosis of JeKo-1 cells were observed by CCK8 assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Effect of midazolam on the expression of BCL-2, cytochrome C (Cyto-C), pro-caspase-9, pro-caspase-8 and pro-caspase-3 protein were detected by Western blot.
