Designing Polar Covalent Hybrid Cadmium-Based Chalcohalides Ultraviolet Nonlinear Optical Crystal with Strong Optical Anisotropy via Double-Site Dual FBUs Tailoring.

The pressing demand for both established and innovative technologies to expand laser wavelengths has rendered high-performance nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals with large optical anisotropy indispensable. Here, centrosymmetric [SHC(NH)]CdBr (1) and pseudo-2D layered [SC(NH)]CdBr (2), as well as pseudo-3D noncentrosymmetric [SC(NH)]CdCl (3) are successfully synthesized through the introduction of π-conjugated SC(NH) groups. Compared to ionic compound 1 containing full-halogen coordination tetrahedra, covalent compounds 2 and 3 featuring novel polar [SC(NH)]CdX (X = Br, Cl) tetrahedral units demonstrate enhanced bandgaps (>4 eV) and birefringences (>0.

RCA-Supported Multipedal DNA Walker Integrated with TSDR for Simultaneous Detection of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Circulating Tumor DNA.

Peripheral blood circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a crucial liquid biopsy biomarker that correlates overall systemic tumor burden with malignant progression. However, identifying multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ctDNA presents significant challenges. In this study, we developed a rolling circle amplification (RCA)-supported multipedal DNA walker integrated with toehold-mediated strand displacement (TSDR) to facilitate the detection of ctDNA SNPs.

Raman-Polarization-Fluorescence Spectroscopic Lidar for Real-Time Detection of Humic-like Substance Profiles.

Geographical and temporal variations of serogroups and clonal types of involved in culture-confirmed invasive meningococcal disease in Canada, 2015-2023.

Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is a nationally notifiable illness in Canada due to its potential severity and transmissibility. Vaccination strategies differ by province/territory and are informed by changes in the antigenic characteristics of circulating strains. Though IMD statistics are tracked at a provincial/territorial level, there is a lack of published data characterizing trends in the epidemiology of this disease at a national level.

FV-429 suppresses cancer cell migration and invasion by EMT via the Hippo/YAP1 pathway in pancreatic cancer cells.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors of the digestive system, with the majority of patients not succumbing to the primary tumor but rather to metastasis. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is abnormally activated in numerous cancers, whereby it promotes tumor cell migration and invasion. Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) is commonly overexpressed in various cancer types and plays an oncogenic role.

Artificial Synapse with High Weight-Updating Performance Based on Charge-Trapping Mechanism.

Artificial synapses, basic units of neuromorphic hardware, have been studied to emulate synaptic dynamics, which are beneficial for realizing high-quality neural networks. Currently, two-dimensional (2D) material heterojunction structures are widely used in the study of artificial synapses; however, their dynamic weight-updating characteristics are restricted owing to their high nonlinearity and low symmetricity. In this study, we treated h-BN with oxygen plasma to form a charge-trapping layer (CTL), and we prepared 2D ReS/CTL/h-BN heterojunction synapses.

Correction for 'Achieving 9% EQE in light-emitting electrochemical cells a TADF-sensitized fluorescence strategy' by Zeyang Zhou , , 2024, , 24498-24505, https://doi.org/10.1039/D4CP02801E.

Parvalbumin neurons mediate neurological phenotypes of anti-NMDAR encephalitis.

Patients with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis, often present with severe psychiatric symptoms, yet the neuropathological mechanisms underlying their cognitive deficits remain insufficiently understood. In this study, we constructed an animal model using anti-NMDAR IgG purified from the serum of patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis, and we used IgG obtained from healthy individuals as a control. Daily administration of anti-NMDAR IgG into the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of mice for 7 days resulted in cognitive impairments resembling clinical symptoms, which spontaneously resolved 30 days after discontinuing the injections.

The comparative impact of central vs. peripheral VA-ECMO cannulation on postoperative graft dysfunction in lung transplantation: a retrospective analysis.

Background: Lung transplantation (LTx) is the definitive treatment for end-stage pulmonary diseases, with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) used as a common perioperative support. However, it remains unclear if central (cVA-ECMO) or peripheral (pVA-ECMO) cannulation routes yield better outcomes in postoperative prognosis. This study compares the impact of these two cannulation strategies on primary graft dysfunction (PGD) incidence in LTx patients.
