Split-mode aptasensing is highly desirable in photoelectrochemistry because of its distinctive advantages of high-throughput, avoided damage to biomolecules, and increased sensitivity and selectivity. However, the currently available photoelectrochemical (PEC) strategy conducible to split-mode aptasensing is still limited to the bioreaction mediated generation of photoactive species, in which a low photocurrent was usually attained, rending this strategy impotent for attaining high sensitivity. As a result, to explore new strategies that are amendable to highly efficient, split-mode PEC aptasensing are still challenging but demanding. Herein, ferrocyanide mediated metal-to-particle charge transition (MPCT) on ferroelectric strontium titanate (SrTiO) was explored as an innovative signal transduction strategy and was validated for high-performance aptasensing. By taking the 17β-Estradiol (E2) as a model analyte, the recognition between the target (E2) and its aptamer anchored on the FeO@Au (named as FeO@Au/Apt) destroyed the beforehand formed assembly between the FeO@Au/Apt and the ssDNA labeled liposome encapsulated with [Fe(CN)] (named as DLL-FeCN), which resulted in the release of the beforehand encapsulated [Fe(CN)] into solution. The released [Fe(CN)] then coordinated onto the surface of SrTiO nanoparticles consisted photoelectrode, forming the MPCT process from metal ion (iron (II) in [Fe(CN)]) to the conduction band (CB) of SrTiO for anodic photocurrent signal output. The detection achieved linear range of 1.0 pM-100 nM, with a detection limit of 0.3 pM for E2. Benefiting from the cooperative effects of the MPCT process and the ferroelectric polarization in bulk SrTiO for achieving highly efficient photocurrent generation capability, the developed split-type detection had the advantage of high sensitivity/selectivity and high throughput. This work not only opens up the MPCT process for innovative PEC sensing strategy but also blazes a new road for high performance PEC aptasensing.

The synergistic epidemics of COVID-19, racial injustice, and health inequities sparked an unprecedented commitment from US hospital systems and treatment settings to address health disparities by increasing access to care for historically oppressed and underserved communities. However, the inability of hospital systems to actually provide multiculturally responsive care and, more broadly, to consistently practice cultural humility will only exacerbate patient distrust and the deleterious health and social outcomes we seek to mitigate. This perspective article describes the development of a multidisciplinary team of mental health providers committed to delivering culturally responsive mental health treatment while promoting inclusive workplace environments.

The linear attenuation coefficients and tenth-value layers are determined experimentally for the newly developed Cement-based high-density Concrete and Fly-Ash-based Geopolymer high-density Concrete using Red-Mud-based synthetic aggregate made up from industrial waste. Linear attenuation coefficients were determined in narrow and broad beam conditions for five megavoltage X-ray photon beam energies, i.e.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising therapeutic strategy for tumor ablation by generating highly toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) to damage DNA and other biomacromolecules. However, the local hypoxic microenvironment of the tumor and the presence of ROS-defensing system, such as the mobilization of mutt homolog 1 (MTH1) to sanitize ROS-oxidized nucleotide pool, severely limit the efficiency of PDT. Therefore, a novel tumor ablation strategy was developed that not only focused on the enhancement of ROS generation but also weakened the ROS-defensing system by inhibiting MTH1 enzyme activity.

Purpose: Liver tumor segmentation is a crucial prerequisite for computer-aided diagnosis of liver tumors. In the clinical diagnosis of liver tumors, radiologists usually examine multiphase CT images as these images provide abundant and complementary information of tumors. However, most known automatic segmentation methods extract tumor features from CT images merely of a single phase, in which valuable multiphase information is ignored.
