Enhancing the Room-Temperature Phosphorescence Performance by Salinization of Guests.

Although the host-guest doped strategy effectively improves the phosphorescence performance of materials and greatly enriches the variety of materials, most of the guests are organic molecules with weak luminescence ability, which leads to the need for further improvement in the phosphorescence performance of doped materials. Herein, by salinization of organic molecules, the luminescence performance of the guests was effectively improved, thereby significantly enhancing the phosphorescence performance of the doped system. A compound 4-(naphthalen-2-yl)quinoline () containing nitrogen atom was synthesized as initial guest, then was salted to obtain six organic salt guests containing anions BF, PF, CFSO, N(CFSO), ClO, and CFSO, respectively.

Water Blooms-A Potential Threat to Male Reproduction: Clues From Aquatics and Rodents.

Toxic cyanobacteria blooms are a potential threat to global aquatic ecosystems and human health. Microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR) is the most toxic variant of microcystins (MCs), and exposure to MCs can damage the male reproductive system. Two electronic databases were searched for controlled studies of rodents and fishes published before September 2020.

Comprehensive analysis of emerging flame retardants, a risk factor to prostate cancer?

Among man-made chemicals, flame retardants have caused great environmental concerns. Several studies in recent years have investigated potential sources of flame retardants, environmental distribution, exposure to wild animals and humans and toxicity. However, studies focusing on the prediction of toxicity of flame retardants are limited.

Bisphenol S promotes the progression of prostate cancer by regulating the expression of COL1A1 and COL1A2.

In recent decades, Bisphenol S (BPS), which was once thought to be an alternative for Bisphenol A (BPA) has been extensively used in personal care products, paper products, and food. However, there is an unclear association between bisphenol and tumors. Therefore, clarifying this relationship is critical for disease prevention and treatment.
