Associations between environmental perception and self-rated health in the city hierarchy of China: Findings from a national cross-sectional survey.

Identifying environmental determinants of health and clarifying their variations is crucial for health promotion in different cities by providing tailored intervention strategies. Although the association between perceived urban environment and health (e.g.

AIE-Active Glycomimetics Triggered Bacterial Agglutination and Membrane-Intercalating toward Efficient Photodynamic Antiseptic.

Opportunistic infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) are particularly difficult to treat due to the altered membrane permeability and inherent resistance to conventional antibiotics. Here, a cationic glycomimetics is designed and synthesized with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics namely TPyGal, which self-assembles into the spherical aggregates with galactosylated surface.

Tunable AIE-Active Assemblies Inducing Bacterial Agglutination toward Noninvasive Photodynamic Antiseptic.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosensitizer assemblies capable of inducing bacterial agglutination were fabricated to achieve a high PDT efficacy in a noninvasive manner. An AIE-active molecule CTRA was designed to bear the donor and acceptor subunits for singlet oxygen (O) generation. An amphiphile DGal with a β-d-galactose headgroup was introduced to coassemble for the photosensitizer assemblies bearing glycosyls for bacteria capture as well as to tune the O generation of CTRA.
