Article Abstract
Nanographene (NG) is a potential candidate for organic EC materials because of its large π-conjugated system, chemical stability, absorption band covering the visible region, and tunable optical properties by postsynthetic modification. We show that NGs carrying redox-active triphenylamine (TPA) units covalently linked to the NG edge function as EC materials in the NIR region. The hybrid materials can be obtained by the installation of TPA units onto the NG edge and display changes in the absorption spectrum in the NIR region extending to a wavelength of over 2000 nm upon one-electron oxidation and reduction at low potentials (<1.1 V). Time-dependent unrestricted density functional theory calculation of a model NG at the UB3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory suggests that a narrow energy gap between the basal plane and the oxidized TPA unit is responsible for the observed EC function in the NIR region.

Introduction: The aims of this study were to determine (1) whether endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) inhibition stimulates endothelial microvesicles (EMVs) release and (2) the effect of EMVs derived from eNOS-inhibited cells on endothelial cell eNOS, inflammation, apoptosis, and tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA).
Methods: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated with the eNOS inhibitor (NG-nitro-

Article Synopsis
- Four new aromatic imides with triphenylamino (TPA) groups are introduced, differing in their number and arrangement of TPA units.
- Compounds 1-3 are variations of 1,8-naphthalimides with different functional groups, while compound 4 is a naphthalene diimide (NDI) that features TPA groups at both ends.
- The study highlights how these modifications affect their optoelectronic properties and explores how the distinct aggregation behaviors of compounds 2 and 3 can be used for creating nanoparticles for biological imaging.
Article Synopsis
- This study assesses the cost-effectiveness of mobile stroke units (MSUs) compared to standard emergency medical services (EMS) for administering thrombolytics in ischemic stroke patients.
- The analysis used the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) method to evaluate healthcare costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), highlighting considerable variations based on patient disability status and treatment costs.
- Overall, while MSUs show borderline cost-effectiveness for all eligible patients, they are more favorable for patients without pre-existing disabilities, particularly when focusing on lifetime costs and stroke-specific expenses.
Antenna effect on Zn(II) porphyrin-based molecular ensembles for the detection of 2,4-dinitrophenol through energy and electron transfer process.

Two modular systems were synthesized composed of triphenylamine (ZnTPAP) and pyrene (ZnPyP) covalently linked at meso position of the Zn(II) porphyrins. Both compounds behaved as energy transfer antenna and orthogonal units to enhance the electron donating ability of Zn(II) porphyrins. Detailed photophysical and aggregation studies reveal that an appreciable electronic interaction exists between peripheral units to the porphyrin π-system so that they behave like strong donor materials.
