Organic solid state vapochromic materials are of great significance for the development of supramolecular chemistry and materials science. Herein, we synthesize a crown ether derivative (An34C10) containing two anthracene units and construct new crown ether-based vapochromic host-guest co-crystals. Due to the presence of anthracene, An34C10 not only shows good fluorescence properties but also displays mechanochromism. Single crystal structural analysis, powder X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry experiments demonstrate that the transformation between different stacking modes of An34C10 is responsible for mechanochromism. In addition, An34C10 can complex with 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene (TCNB) to form host-guest complex (An34C10@TCNB) co-crystals. Because organic solvent fuming alters charge-transfer interactions in An34C10@TCNB, the fluorescence of the co-crystals can be turned on and off by 4-methylpyridine and chloroform vapors, respectively, realizing selective detection with opposite emission outputs. Meanwhile, the stimuli-responsive properties of An34C10 and An34C10@TCNB possess good cycling performance. This work provides a new strategy for the construction of organic solid state luminescent materials.

In this work, we evaluated the anticancer activity of compounds 1 (mononuclear) and 2 (dinuclear) copper(II) coordination compounds derived from the ligand 5-methylsalicylaldehyde 2-furoyl hydrazone (H2L) over MDA-MB-231 Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, and compared their activities with that of a newly synthesized, protonated, dinuclear analogue of 2 (complex 3). Here, we report the synthesis of compound 3 and it has been characterized in the solid state (X-ray diffraction, FTIR) and in solution (EPR, UV-Vis, ESI) as well as its electrochemical profile. Complexes 1-3 impaired cell viability from 0.

Somatic clonal expansion refers to the proliferation and expansion of a cell clone within a multicellular organism. Since cancer also results from the uncontrolled proliferation of few cell clones, it is generally believed that aging-associated somatic clonal expansion observed in normal tissues represents a precancerous condition. For instance, hematological malignancy is often preceded by clonal hematopoiesis.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) combined with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) have been the standard first-line treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the efficacy of this combination in post-line treatment is still unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of anti-PD-L1 envafolimab and novel humanized anti-VEGF suvemcitug as second-line treatment for patients with HCC.

To investigate the efficacy and safety of picosecond (PS) and nanosecond (NS) 1064-nm neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd: YAG) laser in treating Café-au-lait macules (CALMs). We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients with CALMs, who were treated with PS or NS 1064-nm lasers from January 2020 to January 2022. The efficacy was determined based on the before and after pictures by two independent investigators.

Understanding the interaction between nanomaterials and cellular structures is crucial for nanoparticle applications in biomedicine. We have identified a subtype of stress granules, called nanomaterial-provoked stress granules (NSGs), induced by gold nanorods (AuNRs). These NSGs differ from traditional SGs in their physical properties and biological functions.
