Ultrabroadband Visible-Near-Infrared Phosphor CaYMgGeO:Ce/Cr and Its Temperature Sensing.

With the wide application of phosphor conversion light-emitting diode (pc-LED) in nondestructive testing, spectral illumination, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, agricultural medical care, and other fields, the ultrabroadband visible-NIR tunable emission phosphor is considered as the most promising fluorescent material. In this paper, Ce/Cr single-doped and codoped CaYMgGeO phosphors were successfully prepared by using the high-temperature solid-state method. Ce and Cr codoped phosphors show ultrabroadband visible-NIR emission from 480 to 900 nm with two emission peaks at visible 556 nm and infrared 758 nm.

The ground reaction force pattern during walking under vestibular-demanding task with/without mastoid vibration: implication for future sensorimotor training in astronauts.

Background: The Sensory Organization Test condition 5 (SOT5) assesses an astronaut's vestibular function pre-/post-spaceflight but has a ceiling effect and mainly evaluates standing balance, neglecting the challenges of walking during space missions. A Locomotor Sensory Organization Test (LSOT) has been developed, mirroring the SOT concept but tailored to assess vestibular function during walking. This study aims to advance current knowledge by examining changes in ground reaction force (GRF) during normal walking (LSOT1) and walking in LSOT5 (vision blocked and treadmill speed varied), both with and without mastoid vibrations.

Neuroticism trait and postnatal depression among Chinese women: the mediating role of childbirth experience and the moderating role of perceived social support.

Background: Despite the link between neuroticism trait and postnatal depression has been confirmed, little is known about the factors that influence this association. This study aimed to examine whether childbirth experience mediated the association between neuroticism trait and postnatal depression, and whether this indirect effect was moderated by perceived social support.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1686 women within one year postpartum from 38 hospitals in China.

Fetal hepatocytes protect the HSPC genome via fetuin-A.

The maintenance of genomic integrity in rapidly proliferating cells is a substantial challenge during embryonic development. Although numerous cell-intrinsic mechanisms have been revealed, little is known about genome-protective effects and influences of developmental tissue microenvironments on tissue-forming cells. Here we show that fetal liver hepatocytes provide protection to haematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) genomes.

Multi-protomics analysis identified host cellular pathways perturbed by tick-borne encephalitis virus infection.

Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) represents a pivotal tick-transmitted flavivirus responsible for severe neurological consequences in Europe and Asia. The emergence of TBEV genetic mutations and vaccine-breakthrough infections, along with the absence of effective vaccines and specific drugs for other tick-borne flaviviruses associated with severe encephalitis or hemorrhagic fever, underscores the urgent need for progress in understanding the pathogenesis and intervention strategies for TBEV and related flaviviruses. Here we elucidate cellular alterations in the proteome, phosphoproteome, and acetylproteome upon TBEV infection.

Programmable spatial magnetization stereolithographic printing of biomimetic soft machines with thin-walled structures.

Soft machines respond to external magnetic stimuli with targeted shape changes and motions due to anisotropic magnetization, showing great potential in biomimetic applications. However, mimicking biological functionalities, particularly the complex hollow structures of organs and their dynamic behaviors, remains challenging. Here, we develop a printing method based on three-dimensional uniform magnetic field-assisted stereolithography to fabricate thin-walled soft machines with internal cavities and programmable magnetization.

CIP2A inhibitors TD52 and Ethoxysanguinarine promote macrophage autophagy and alleviates acute pancreatitis by modulating the AKT-mTOR pathway.

Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a prevalent and serious condition within the digestive system, with approximately 20 % to 30 % of cases advancing to severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). During the initial phases of SAP, macrophages are activated in response to the substantial amounts of acinar cell contents and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) resulting from acinar cell destruction. Subsequently, activated macrophages release a significant array of pro-inflammatory factors that exacerbate the progression of SAP.
