The prognostic significance of MYC/BCL2 double expression in DLBCL in the genetic classification era.

Double expression (DE) is a World Health Organization-recognized adverse prognostic factor in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, the prognostic value of DE in the genetic subtyping era and potential mechanisms remain to be explored. We enrolled 246 DLBCL patients diagnosed between December 2021 and September 2023 in a Jiangsu Province Hospital cohort and included 930 DLBCL patients from three published studies in an external cohort.

Surface confined metallosupramolecular architectures: formation and scanning tunneling microscopy characterization.

Metallosupramolecular compounds have attracted a great deal of attention over the past two decades largely because of their unique, highly complex structural characteristics and their potential electronic, magnetic, optical, and catalytic properties. These molecules can be prepared with relative ease using coordination-driven self-assembly techniques. In particular, the use of electron-poor square-planar Pt(II) transition metals in conjunction with rigid, electron-rich pyridyl donors has enabled the spontaneous self-assembly of a rich library of 2D metallacyclic and 3D metallacage assemblies via the directional-bonding approach.

Scanning tunneling microscopy investigation of a supramolecular self-assembled three-dimensional chiral prism on a Au(111) surface.

Spontaneous symmetry-breaking of a racemic mixture of supramolecular triginal prisms into chiral domains on a Au(111) surface is observed by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). High-resolution STM analysis enables the structural aspects of each enantiomeric domain to be elucidated. The ability to resolve chirality on achiral surfaces has potential applications in heterogeneous stereoselective synthesis and catalysis.

Controllable distribution of single molecules and peptides within oligomer template investigated by STM.

This communication provides a facile method for distributing and dispersing molecules within a molecular template. Using the self-assembled template of oligo(phenylene-ethynylene) (OPE), organic molecules such as coronene (COR) and biomolecules such as tripeptide are controllably distributed and dispersed within this molecular template on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surfaces. COR molecules were controllably distributed into various regular arrays by simply adjusting the molecular molar ratio, while tripeptide molecules were uniformly positioned at the vacancies of the OPE template.

Structural comparison of self-organized adlayers of ligands and their metal-coordinated complexes on a Au(111) surface: an STM study.

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) was employed to investigate the adsorption of the linear-spacer-bridged ligands bis(pyrrol-2-yl-methyleneamine) (BPMB and BPMmB), and their Zn(II)-coordinated complexes, BPMB/Zn(II) and BPMmB/Zn(II), onto a Au(111) surface in 0.1 M HClO(4) solution. Both the ligands, with different spacer bridges, and their Zn(II) complexes adsorb onto the Au(111) surface and self-organize into highly ordered two-dimensional arrays.

Self-organization of a self-assembled supramolecular rectangle, square, and three-dimensional cage on Au111 surfaces.

The structure and conformation of three self-assembled supramolecular species, a rectangle, a square, and a three-dimensional cage, on Au111 surfaces were investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy. These supramolecular assemblies adsorb on Au111 surfaces and self-organize to form highly ordered adlayers with distinct conformations that are consistent with their chemical structures. The faces of the supramolecular rectangle and square lie flat on the surface, preserving their rectangle and square conformations, respectively.

Mesoscopic self-organization of a self-assembled supramolecular rectangle on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite and Au(111) surfaces.

A self-assembled supramolecular metallacyclic rectangle was investigated with scanning tunneling microscopy on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite and Au(111) surfaces. The rectangles spontaneously adsorb on both surfaces and self-organize into well ordered adlayers. On highly oriented pyrolytic graphite, the long edge of the rectangle stands on the surface, forming a 2D molecular network.
