Organic Ligand Exchange: The Chiral Structure-Property Regulation of Cuprous Halides.

The strategy of organic ligand exchange is proposed to tune the optical properties of organic-inorganic hybrid cuprous halides. In this work, the chiral ligand (S)-(-)-2,2'-bis(di--tolylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl ((S)-Tol-BINAP) and achiral triphenylphosphine (PPh) are introduced into cuprous halides CuX-PPh-[(S)-Tol-BINAP] (X = Cl, Br, I) through organic ligand exchange. As a result, the mixed organic ligands can enhance second harmonic generation (SHG) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) optical properties.

Combined effect of intermittent hemostasis and a modified external hemorrhage control device in a lethal swine model.

Background: Non-compressible torso hemorrhage (NCTH) presents the ultimate challenge in pre-hospital care. While external hemorrhage control devices (EHCDs) such as the Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet (AAJT) and SAM Junctional Tourniquet (SJT) have been invented, the current design and application strategy requires further improvement. Therefore, researchers devised a novel apparatus named Modified EHCD (M-EHCD) and implemented intermittent hemostasis (IH) as a preventive measure against ischemia-reperfusion injury.

[Mechanism of Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma in regulating PI3K/Akt/mTORC1-mitochondrial energy metabolism to treat chronic renal failure in rats with blood stasis syndrome].

This study observed the effects of Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma on the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1(mTORC1) signaling pathway and mitochondrial energy metabolism in the rat model of adriamycin-induced renal fibrosis with blood stasis syndrome to explore the mechanism of Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma in protecting the kidney. Thirty male rats with adriamycin-induced renal fibrosis were randomized into model, low-, medium-, and high-dose Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma, and positive control groups(n=6). Six clean SD male rats were selected into the normal group.

"Ion-imprinting" strategy towards metal sulfide scavenger enables the highly selective capture of radiocesium.

Highly selective capture of radiocesium is an urgent need for environmental radioactive contamination remediation and spent fuel disposal. Herein, a strategy is proposed for construction of "inorganic ion-imprinted adsorbents" with ion recognition-separation capabilities, and a metal sulfide CsGaSnS·HO (FJSM-CGTS) with "imprinting effect" on Cs is prepared. We show that the K activation product of FJSM-CGTS, CsKGaSnS·HO (FJMS-KCGTS), can reach adsorption equilibrium for Cs within 5 min, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 246.

Canagliflozin alleviates pulmonary hypertension by activating PPARγ and inhibiting its S225 phosphorylation.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive fatal disease with no cure. Canagliflozin (CANA), a novel medication for diabetes, has been found to have remarkable cardiovascular benefits. However, few studies have addressed the effect and pharmacological mechanism of CANA in the treatment of PH.

Investigation of Metabolic and Inflammatory Disorder in the Aging FGF21 Knockout Mouse.

Aging is a physiological condition accomplished with persistent low-grade inflammation and metabolic disorders. FGF21 has been reported to act as a potent longevity determinant, involving inflammatory response and energy metabolism. In this study, we engineered aging FGF21 knockout mice of 36-40 weeks and observed that FGF21 deficiency manifests a spontaneous inflammatory response of lung and abnormal accumulation of lipids in liver.

White light emission in 0D halide perovskite [(CH)S]SnCl·HO crystals through variation of doping ns ions.

With the rapid development of white LEDs, the research of new and efficient white light emitting materials has attracted increasing attention. Zero dimensional (0D) organic-inorganic hybrid metal halide perovskites with superior luminescent property are promising candidates for LED application, due to their abundant and tailorable structure.

From HCNCdI to HCNCdI: a highly polarizable CdNI tetrahedron induced a sharp enhancement of second harmonic generation response and birefringence.

In this study, we identify a novel class of second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals, non-π-conjugated piperazine (HCN, PIP) metal halides, represented by two centimeter-sized, noncentrosymmetric organic-inorganic metal halides (OIMHs), namely HCNCdI (222) and HCNCdI (). HCNCdI is the first to be prepared, and its structure contains a CdI tetrahedron, which led to a poor NLO performance, including a weak and non-phase-matchable second harmonic generation (SHG) response of 0.5 × KHPO (KDP), a small birefringence of 0.

Confinement of 1D Chain and 2D Layered CuI Modules in K-INA-R Frameworks via Coordination Assembly: Structure Regulation and Semiconductivity Tuning.

Herein, we present a new series of CuI-based hybrid materials with tunable structures and semiconducting properties. The CuI inorganic modules can be tailored into a one-dimensional (1D) chain and two-dimensional (2D) layer and confined/stabilized in coordination frameworks of potassium isonicotinic acid (HINA) and its derivatives (HINA-R, R = OH, NO, and COOH). The resulting CuI-based hybrid materials exhibit interesting semiconducting behaviors associated with the dimensionality of the inorganic module; for instance, the structures containing the 2D-CuI module demonstrate significantly enhanced photoconductivity with a maximum increase of five orders of magnitude compared to that of the structures containing the 1D-CuI module.

Rational Engineering of p-n Heterogeneous ZnS/SnO Quantum Dots with Fast Ion Kinetics for Superior Li/Na-Ion Battery.

Constructing heterogeneous nanostructures is an efficient strategy to improve the electrical and ionic conductivity of metal chalcogenide-based anodes. Herein, ZnS/SnO quantum dots (QDs) as p-n heterojunctions that are uniformly anchored to reduced graphene oxides (ZnS-SnO @rGO) are designed and engineered. Combining the merits of fast electron transport via the internal electric field and a greatly shortened Li/Na ion diffusion pathway in the ZnS/SnO QDs (3-5 nm), along with the excellent electrical conductivity and good structural stability provided by the rGO matrix, the ZnS-SnO @rGO anode exhibits enhanced electronic and ionic conductivity, which can be proved by both experiments and theoretical calculations.

Background: Left ventricular thrombus is a rare condition, for which appropriate treatments are not extensively studied. Although it can be treated by thrombectomy, such surgery can be difficult and risky, and not every patient can tolerate the surgery.

Case Summary: We report a case of a middle-aged man receiving veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for acute myocardial infarction who developed left ventricular thrombus despite systemic anticoagulation.

The study aimed to identify and annotate the biological functions of hub genes with clinical diagnostic efficacy in AIS and LUAD.

FGF10 mitigates doxorubicin-induced myocardial toxicity in mice via activation of FGFR2b/PHLDA1/AKT axis.

Doxorubicin is a common chemotherapeutic agent in clinic, but myocardial toxicity limits its use. Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 10, a multifunctional paracrine growth factor, plays diverse roles in embryonic and postnatal heart development as well as in cardiac regeneration and repair. In this study we investigated the role of FGF10 as a potential modulator of doxorubicin-induced cardiac cytotoxicity and the underlying molecular mechanisms.
