Unveiling Enhanced PEC Water Oxidation: Morphology Tuning and Interfacial Phase Change in α-FeO@K-OMS-2 Branched Core-Shell Nanoarrays.

A simple fabrication method that involves two steps of hydrothermal reaction has been demonstrated for the growth of α-FeO@K-OMS-2 branched core-shell nanoarrays. Different reactant concentrations in the shell-forming step led to different morphologies in the resultant composites, denoted as 0.25 OC, 0.

Development and validation of a deep learning model for multicategory pneumonia classification on chest computed tomography: a multicenter and multireader study.

Background: Accurate diagnosis of pneumonia is vital for effective disease management and mortality reduction, but it can be easily confused with other conditions on chest computed tomography (CT) due to an overlap in imaging features. We aimed to develop and validate a deep learning (DL) model based on chest CT for accurate classification of viral pneumonia (VP), bacterial pneumonia (BP), fungal pneumonia (FP), pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), and no pneumonia (NP) conditions.

Methods: In total, 1,776 cases from five hospitals in different regions were retrospectively collected from September 2019 to June 2023.

Lipophilic AIEgens as the "Trojan Horse" with Discrepant Efficacy in Tracking and Treatment of Mycobacterial Infection.

The highly contagious tuberculosis is a leading infectious killer, which urgently requires effective diagnosis and treatment methods. To address these issues, three lipophilic aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosensitizers (TTMN, TTTMN, and MeOTTMN) are selected to evaluate their labeling and antimicrobial properties in vitro and in vivo. These three lipophilic AIEgens preserve low cytotoxicity and achieve real-time and non-invasive visualization of the process of mycobacteria infection in vitro and in vivo.

Seeing is believing: Efficiency evaluation of multifunctional ionic-dependent AIEgens for tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), remains a significant public health threat with high rates of infection and mortality. Rapid and reliable theranostics of TB are essential to control transmission and shorten treatment duration. In this study, we report two cationic aggregation-inducing emission luminogens (AIEgens) named TTVP and TTPy, which have different functional charged moieties, to investigate their potential for simultaneous tracing and photodynamic therapy in TB infection.

Highly Mesoporous MoO Catalysts for Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution.

Herein, a straightforward synthesis method for highly mesoporous molybdenum oxide has been demonstrated via use of inverse micelles and molybdenum-oxo cluster formation. The synthesized catalyst is stable, crystalline, and MoO phase pure, as confirmed through thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Further results from electron paramagnetic resonance, Raman spectroscopy, and UV-vis spectroscopy confirm the MoO phase purity.
