Dynamic Fluorescence Sensing of Bromide Ions by Photochromic Bi(III)-Coordination Polymers Based on a Ligand Integrated by Naphthalene Diimides and Pyridinium in Solution and Films.

Bismuth(III)-based complexes have garnered increasing attention in fluorescence sensing due to their environmentally friendly and sustainable characteristics. A Bismuth(III) coordination polymer (CP),1-Cl based on a naphthalene diimides(NDI)-pyridinium is synthesized by an in situ reaction method. Notable for its sensitivity to visible light, 1-Cl shows excellent photochromic properties, and the integration of NDI and pyridinium in one ligand makes photogenerated radicals more stable.

Conformation- and Coordination Mode-Dependent Stimuli-Responsive Salicylaldehyde Hydrazone Zn(II) Complexes.

Luminescent Zn(II) complexes that respond to external stimuli are of wide interest due to their potential applications. Schiff base with O,N,O-hydrazone shows excellent luminescence properties with multi-coordination sites for different coordination modes. In this work, three salicylaldehyde hydrazone Zn(II) complexes (, , ) were synthesized and their stimuli-responsive behaviors in different states were explored.

Three-Dimensional Viologen-Based Lanthanide-Organic Frameworks: Photochromism and Fluorescence Detection of Quinolone Antibiotics.

Quinolone antibiotic residues, norfloxacin (NORF) and ciprofloxacin (CIP), have attracted more attention due to their frequent detection in surface water and food field, which seriously threaten the health of animals and humans. Rapid and efficient detection of NORF and CIP is critical for environmental testing and ecosystems. Herein, two novel isostructural viologen-functionalized Ln(III) complexes [LnL(IPA)] (Ln = Eu, ; Tb, ; L = ,'-bis (2-carboxyethyl)-4,4'-bipyridridylium dichloride, HIPA = isophthalic acid) with a three-dimensional structure have been synthesized solvothermally.

Enhancement of Long-Lived Persistent Room-Temperature Phosphorescence and Anion Exchange with I and SCN via Metal-Organic Hybrid Formation.

An in-depth understanding of structure-property relationships and the construction of multifunctional stimuli-responsive materials are still difficult challenges. Herein, we discovered a 4,4'-bipyridinium derivative with both photochromism and dynamic afterglow at 77 K for the first time. A one-dimensional (1D) Cd(II) coordination polymer () assembled by only a 4,4'-bipyridinium derivative and cadmium chloride showed photochromism, room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP), and electrochromism.

Multistimuli-responsive materials based on a zinc(II) complex with high-contrast and multicolor switching.

The development of stimulus-responsive luminescent materials, especially those based on a single compound exhibiting multicolor and high-contrast (Δ ≥ 100 nm) chromic properties, is a critical challenge. In this work, we synthesized and characterized a zinc(II) complex (1). As expected, 1 displays aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE) in THF/HO mixtures, and remarkable multicolor switching under external stimuli in the solid state.

Multistimuli-Responsive Materials Based on Zn(II)-Viologen Coordination Polymers and Their Applications in Inkless Print and Anticounterfeiting.

Recently, stimuli-responsive materials have attracted great attention, while most of them respond to single or two stimuli. Thus, it is essential to design multifunctional stimuli-responsive materials and develop their applications. The strategy that constructing high-dimensional coordination polymers facilitates the application scope of a viologen-based photochromic system is put forward and confirmed for the first time.

Hybrid endoscopic submucosal dissection: An alternative resection modality for large laterally spreading tumors in the cecum?

Background: Endoscopic resection for large, laterally spreading tumors (LSTs) in the cecum is challenging. Here we report on the clinical outcomes of hybrid endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in large cecal LSTs.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data from patients with cecal LSTs ≥ 2 cm who underwent ESD or hybrid ESD procedures between January of 2008 and June of 2019.

Gradual replacement of all previously circulating respiratory syncytial virus A strain with the novel ON1 genotype in Lanzhou from 2010 to 2017.

ON1 is a novel genotype of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) subtype A, in children with acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs). However, there is not much data on the prevalence and clinical and molecular characterization in China.Our study is based on the children who had respiratory infections positive for RSV-A admitted by Gansu Provincial Maternity and Child-care Hospital in Lanzhou (northwestern China) during the last 7 epidemic seasons from 2010 to 2017.

Sedation With Propofol Has No Effect on Capsule Endoscopy Completion Rates: A Prospective Single-Center Study.

Patients who need both capsule endoscopy (CE) and colonoscopy often undergo both examinations on the same day to avoid repeated bowel preparation and fasting. Sedation can relieve pain and is commonly used for colonoscopies but may influence the CE completion rate.To determine whether sedation with propofol influences the completion rate and small-bowel transit time (SBTT) of CE.

MYC regulation of CHK1 and CHK2 promotes radioresistance in a stem cell-like population of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.

Radiotherapy is the most successful nonsurgical treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Despite this, the prognosis remains poor. Although NPCs initially respond well to a full course of radiation, recurrence is frequent.

[Application of subclinical doses of pentazocine and propofol in painless vaginal egg retrieval].

Objective: To assess the feasibility of using subclinical doses of pentazocine in painless egg retrieval.

Methods: Eighty-one patients undergoing painless egg retrieval were randomized into the observation group and the control group to receive 0.4 mg/kg pentazocine with 1.

[Effects of ambulatory labor analgesia on fetal oxygen saturation].

Objective: To observe the effect of ambulatory labor analgesia on fetal oxygen saturation during labor.

Methods: Sixty parturients with uncomplicated term pregnancies were equally divided, according to their personal preference, into ambulatory analgesia group receiving combined spinal-epidural labor analgesia and control group without analgesia administration. All the parturients with ambulatory labor analgesia received sufentanil and ropivacaine administration.

[Intravenous propofol combined with fentanyl for anesthesia during ultrasound-guided transvaginal oocyte retrieval].

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of anesthesia with intravenous propofol combined with fentanyl for ultrasound-guided transvaginal oocyte retrieval.

Methods: Totally 100 unpremedicated infertile women (ASA I-II) scheduled for oocyte retrieval with ultrasound guidance were randomly divided into two groups to receive anesthesia with either intravenous propofol (group A, n=50) or the combination of propofol and fentanyl (group B, n=50). The time when consciousness loss and recovery occurred, dosage of propofol for anesthesia maintenance, mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and oxygen saturation (SpO2) were recorded.
