A low-threshold solid-state UV laser using a whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonator constructed from UV transparent crystalline material is demonstrated. Using a Ce3+:LiCaAlF6 resonator, we observe broad bandwidth lasing (280-330 nm) with a low threshold intensity of 7.5×10(9) W/m(2) and an effective slope efficiency of ~25%. The lasing time delay dynamics in the pulsed operation mode are also observed and analyzed. Additionally, a LiCaAlF(6) WGM resonator with Q=2×10(7) at 370 nm is realized. The combination of this high Q and the small WGM mode volume significantly lowers the pump power threshold compared to traditional cavity designs, opening the door for both tunable continuous-wave and mode-locked operation.

Effective heat dissipation remains a grand challenge for energy-dense devices and systems. As heterogeneous integration becomes increasingly inevitable in electronics, thermal resistance at interfaces has emerged as a critical bottleneck for thermal management. However, existing thermal interface solutions are constrained by either high thermal resistance or poor reliability.

HBT-DPI was a single-molecule multi-conformational fluorescent material and had unique applications for hydrophobic/hydrophilic mapping on large-scale heterogeneous surfaces. In this paper, the different proton transfer processes and luminescence mechanisms of HBT-DPI in Dichloromethane (DCM, no hydrogen bond (HB) receptor) and N, N-Dimethylformamide (DMF, HB receptor) solvents were systematically studied. Using the quantum chemistry method, the stable structures of HBT-DPI in two solvents were determined based on the Boltzmann distribution.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of HoLEP in patients aged > 85 years with indwelling catheter (IDC).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed our bicentric HoLEP database to identify consecutive patients with IDC and trial without catheter (TWOC) failure who underwent surgery between June 2012 and April 2020. Our primary focus was on the population over 85 years of age; Patients under 70 years of age were used as controls.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (FURL) and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in the treatment of ureteral calculi based on decision tree model.
Methods: A total of 600 patients with ureteral calculi, including 289 treated with FURL and 311 cases with ESWL in Anqing Municipal Hospital from June 2021 to August 2023, were selected as study subjects. Perioperative indicators and stone clearance rate of the two groups were compared, and the preoperative and postoperative (24 and 72 hours) changes of serum creatinine, cystatin C (Cys-C) and microalbumin were observed.

Antimicrobial surfaces are a promising approach to reduce the spread of pathogenic microorganisms in various critical environments. To achieve high antimicrobial functionality, it is essential to consider the material-specific bactericidal mode of action in conjunction with bacterial surface interactions. This study investigates the effect of altered contact conditions on the antimicrobial efficiency of Cu surfaces against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
