Enhanced oral bioavailability of cannabidiol by flexible zein nanoparticles: in vitro and pharmacokinetic studies.

Introduction: Cannabidiol (CBD) has a variety of pharmacological effects including antiepileptic, antispasmodic, anxiolytic and anti-inflammatory among other pharmacological effects. However, since CBD is a terpene-phenolic compound, its clinical application is limited by its poor water solubility, low stability, and low bioavailability. Methods: In this study, we used several strategies to address the above problems. Hydrochloric acid was used to modify zein to improve the molecular flexibility. Flexible zein nanoparticles (FZP-CBD) loaded with CBD was prepared to improve the stability and bioavailability of CBD. The parameters were evaluated in terms of morphology, particle size (PS), polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential (ZP), entrapment efficiency (EE%), loading capacity (LC%), and storage stability. Simulated gastrointestinal fluid release experiment and bioavailability assay were applied in the evaluation. Results: The simulated gastrointestinal fluid experiment showed that the release rates of FZP-CBD and natural zein nanoparticles (NZP-CBD) loaded with CBD were 3.57% and 89.88%, respectively, after digestion with gastric fluid for 2 h, 92.12% and 92.56%, respectively, after intestinal fluid digestion for 2 h. Compared with NZP-CBD, the C max of FZP-CBD at 3 different doses of CBD was increased by 1.7, 1.3 and 1.5 times respectively, and AUC0-t was increased by 1.4, 1.1 and 1.7 times respectively, bioavailability (F) was increased by 135.9%, 114.9%, 169.6% respectively. Discussion: The experimental results showed that FZP-CBD could protect most of the CBD from being released in the stomach, and then control its release in the intestines, promote the absorption of CBD in the small intestine, and increase the bioavailability of CBD. Therefore, FZP-CBD could improve the utilization value of CBD and provide a new idea for the application of CBD in medicine and pharmacy.

Preclinical ImmunoPET Imaging Using a Zr-89-Labeled Anti-CD146 Monoclonal Antibody for Diagnosis of Melanoma.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the preclinical efficacy of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-Ab253 as a novel positron emission tomography (PET) tracer for CD146-positive malignant melanoma imaging. Considering the high expression of CD146 in malignant melanoma, this study investigated the effect of different CD146 expression levels on the tumor uptake of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-Ab253. CD146 selectivity was investigated by using the CD146-positive human melanoma cell A375 and the CD146-negative human alveolar epithelial cell A549. The cell uptake of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-Ab253 tracers was investigated, and receptor-binding affinities were measured by radioactive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Biodistribution studies and micro-PET imaging of the radiotracers were performed on mice bearing A375 and A549 xenografts under baseline and blocking conditions. An immunohistochemical test was performed using A375 and A549 tissue sections for CD146 expression level analysis. [89Zr]Zr-DFO-Ab253 was obtained with a high radiochemical yield (87.86 ± 4.66%) and a satisfactory radiochemical purity (>98.0%). The specificity and affinity of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-Ab253 were confirmed in melanoma A375 cells and in vivo PET imaging of A375 tumor models. [89Zr]Zr-DFO-IgG and A549 lung tumors were prepared as control radiotracers and negative models to verify the specificity of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-Ab253 on CD146. [89Zr]Zr-DFO-Ab253 has a Kd of 4.01 ± 0.50 nM. PET imaging and biodistribution showed a higher uptake of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-Ab253 in A375 melanomas than that in A549 tumors (42.1 ± 4.04% vs 7.87 ± 1.30% ID/g at 120 h, P < 0.05). A low tumor uptake of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-IgG was observed with uptakes of 1.91 ± 0.41 and 2.80 ± 0.14 ID%/g when blocked at 120 h. The radiation-absorbed dose was calculated to be 0.13 mSv/MBq. This study demonstrates the synthesis and preclinical evaluation of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-Ab253 and indicates that the novel tracer has promising applications in malignant melanoma-specific PET imaging because of its high uptake and long-time retention in malignant melanoma. It also provides feasibility for the development of integrated molecular probes for diagnosis and treatment based on the CD146 target.

Constructing Favorable Microenvironment on Copper Grain Boundaries for CO2 Electro-conversion to Multicarbon Products.

The electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2RR) to multicarbon chemicals provides a promising avenue for storing renewable energy. Herein, we synthesized small Cu nanoparticles featuring enriched tiny grain boundaries (RGBs-Cu) through spatial confinement and in situ electroreduction. In-situ spectroscopy and theoretical calculations demonstrate that small-sized Cu grain boundaries significantly enhance the adsorption of the *CO intermediate, owing to the presence of abundant low-coordinated and disordered atoms. Furthermore, these grain boundaries, generated in situ under high current conditions, exhibit excellent stability during the eCO2RR process, thereby creating a stable *CO-rich microenvironment. This high local *CO concentration around the catalyst surface can reduce the energy barrier for C-C coupling and significantly increase the Faradaic efficiency (FE) for multicarbon products across both neutral and alkaline electrolytes. Specifically, the developed RGBs-Cu electrocatalyst achieved a peak FE of 77.3% for multicarbon products and maintained more than 134 h stability at a constant current density of -500 mA cm-2.

Vitamin D binding protein in psychiatric and neurological disorders: Implications for diagnosis and treatment.

Vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) serves as a key transporter protein responsible for binding and delivering vitamin D and its metabolites to target organs. VDBP plays a crucial part in the inflammatory reaction following tissue damage and is engaged in actin degradation. Recent research has shed light on its potential role in various diseases, leading to a growing interest in understanding the implications of VDBP in psychiatric and neurological disorders. The purpose of this review was to provide a summary of the existing understanding regarding the involvement of VDBP in neurological and psychiatric disorders. By examining the intricate interplay between VDBP and these disorders, this review contributes to a deeper understanding of underlying mechanisms and potential therapeutic avenues. Insights gained from the study of VDBP could pave the way for novel strategies in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of psychiatric and neurological disorders.

Computerized cognitive remediation therapy on cognitive impairment and social function in patients with chronic schizophrenia.

BACKGROUND: Patients with schizophrenia may have various disease manifestations, most of which gradually tend toward incurable chronic decline, leading to mental disability. The basic symptoms of the disease can impair social function, whereas long-term hospitalization produces hospitalization syndrome, causing serious damage to social function. AIM: To investigate the effects of Computerized Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CCRT) on cognitive and social functioning in patients with chronic schizophrenia. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 120 patients with chronic schizophrenia in Shanghai Pudong New Area Mental Health Center was performed. They were divided into an intervention group (60 cases treated with CCRT combined with conventional medication) and a control group (60 cases treated with conventional medication). After treatment, effects on cognitive function and social roles were observed in both groups. The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) was used to assess the patients' psychiatric symptoms. The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) was used to assess the patients' cognitive functioning, and the Social Functioning Scale for Psychiatric Inpatients (SSPI) was used to assess the social functioning of the inpatient psychiatric patients. RESULTS: No significant differences were observed in the PANSS, WCST, and SSPI intergroup scores before treatment (P > 0.05). After 2, 4, and 6 wk of therapy, general psychopathological factors, positive symptoms, negative symptoms, and total PANSS scores of PANSS in the intervention group were lower than in the control group (P < 0.05). After 2, 4, and 6 wk of treatment, the number of false responses, number of persistent bugs, and total responses in the WCST were significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group (P < 0.05), and the amount of completed classification was significantly higher than in the control group (P < 0.05). After 2, 4, and 6 wk of therapy, the SSPI scores were significantly greater than those of the controls (P < 0.05). After 6 wk of treatment, the efficacy rates of the control and intervention groups were 81.67% and 91.67%, respectively. The curative effect in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: CCRT can significantly improve cognitive function and social abilities in patients with chronic schizophrenia.

Intermittent protein restriction before but not after the onset of diabetic kidney disease attenuates disease progression in mice.

Background: High dietary protein intake exacerbates proteinuria in individuals with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). However, studies on the impacts of low protein diet (LPD) on DKD have yielded conflicting results. Furthermore, patient compliance to continuous protein restriction is challenging. Objective: The current study aims to investigate the effects of intermittent protein restriction (IPR) on disease progression of DKD. Methods: Diabetic KK-Ay mice were used in this study. For the IPR treatment, three consecutive days of LPD were followed by four consecutive days of normal protein diet (NPD) within each week. For early intervention, mice received IPR before DKD onset. For late intervention, mice received IPR after DKD onset. In both experiments, age-matched mice fed continuous NPD served as the control group. Kidney morphology, structure and function of mice in different groups were examined. Results: Intermittent protein restriction before DKD onset ameliorated pathological changes in kidney, including nephromegaly, glomerular hyperfiltration, tubular injuries and proteinuria, without improving glycemic control. Meanwhile, IPR initiated after DKD onset showed no renoprotective effects despite improved glucose homeostasis. Conclusion: Intermittent protein restriction before rather than after DKD onset protects kidneys, and the impacts of IPR on the kidneys are independent of glycemic control. IPR shows promise as an effective strategy for managing DKD and improving patient compliance.

[Progress of research on circular RNA encoding proteins in disease].

With the advance of research, non-coding RNA has been found to surpass the traditional definition to directly code functional proteins by coding sequence elements and binding with ribosomes. Among the non-coding RNAs, the function of circRNA encoded proteins has been most extensively studied. This study has used "circRNA", "encoded", and "translation" as the key words to search the PubMed and Web of Science databases. The retrieved literature was screened and traced, with the translation mechanism, related research methods, and correlation with diseases of circRNA reviewed. CircRNA can translate proteins through a non-cap-dependent pathway. Multiple molecular techniques, in particular mass spectrometry analysis, have important value in identifying unique peptide segments of circRNA encoded proteins for confirming their existence. The proteins encoded by the circRNA are involved in the pathogenesis of diseases of the digestive, neurological, urinary systems and the breast, and have the potential to serve as novel targets for disease diagnosis and treatment. This article has provided a comprehensive review for the basic theory, experimental methods, and disease-related research in the field of circRNA translation, which may provide clues for the identification of new diagnostic and therapeutic targets.

Color Generation and Polarization-Sensitive Encryption by Laser Writing on Plasmonic Reflector Arrays.

Plasmonic color printing presents a sustainable solution for vibrant and durable color reproduction by leveraging the light-manipulating properties of nanostructures. However, the fabrication of plasmonic nanostructures has posed challenges, hindering widespread adoption. In this paper, we introduce plasmonic reflector arrays (PRAs) composed of three layers─Ag nanoparticles (NPs), an Al2O3 spacer, and an Ag reflector─deposited via physical vapor deposition (PVD). By employing nanosecond and femtosecond laser writing techniques, we manipulate the surface morphology of silver nanoparticles on PRAs, resulting in a diverse range of structural colors that are both polarization-insensitive and polarization-sensitive. Furthermore, we demonstrate the versatility of nanosecond laser writing in creating intricate patterns on PRAs. Additionally, we propose a novel two-step method combining nanosecond and femtosecond laser processing to embed QR code patterns into PRAs, showcasing their potential for secure data encryption and transmission. This research underscores the promising applications of PRAs in advanced color printing and secure optical data encoding.

Dapagliflozin improves skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity through SIRT1 activation induced by nutrient deprivation state.

Lipid peroxidation and mitochondrial damage impair insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle. Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) protects mitochondria and activates under energy restriction. Dapagliflozin (Dapa) is an antihyperglycaemic agent that belongs to the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. Evidence shows that Dapa can induce nutrient deprivation effects, providing additional metabolic benefits. This study investigates whether Dapa can trigger nutrient deprivation to activate SIRT1 and enhance insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle. We treated diet-induced obese (DIO) mice with Dapa and measured metabolic parameters, lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, and glucose utilization in skeletal muscle. ß-hydroxybutyric acid (ß-HB) was intervened in C2C12 myotubes. The role of SIRT1 was verified by RNA interference. We found that Dapa treatment induced nutrient deprivation state and reduced lipid deposition and oxidative stress, improved mitochondrial function and glucose tolerance in skeletal muscle. The same positive effects were observed after ß-HB intervening for C2C12 myotubes, and the promoting effects on glucose utilization were diminished by SIRT1 RNA interference. Thus, Dapa promotes a nutrient deprivation state and enhances skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity via SIRT1 activation. In this study, we identified a novel hypoglycemic mechanism of Dapa and the potential mechanistic targets.

Direct Electron Transfer-Driven Nontoxic Oligomeric Deposition of Sulfonamide Antibiotics onto Carbon Materials for In Situ Water Remediation.

The rising in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) technologies based on polymerization reactions have advanced the removal of emerging contaminants in the aquatic environment. However, despite their promise, uncertainties persist regarding their effectiveness in eliminating structurally complex contaminants, such as sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs). This study elucidated that oligomerization, rather than mineralization, predominantly governs the removal of SAs in the carbon materials/periodate system. The amine groups in SAs played a crucial role in forming organic radicals and subsequent coupling reactions due to their high f- index and low bond orders. Moreover, the study highlighted the robust adhesion of oligomers to the catalyst surface, facilitated by enhanced van der Waals forces and hydrophobic interactions. Importantly, plant and animal toxicity assessments confirmed the nontoxic nature of oligomers deposited on the carbon material surface, affirming the efficacy of carbon material-based ISCO in treating contaminated surface water and groundwater. Additionally, a novel classification approach, Δlog k, was proposed to differentiate SAs based on their kinetic control steps, providing deeper insights into the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) and facilitating the selection of optimal descriptors during the oligomerization processes. Overall, these insights significantly enhance our understanding of SAs removal via oligomerization and demonstrate the superiority of C-ISCO based on polymerization in water decontamination.

Clinical study of dance art therapy on hospitalized patients with chronic schizophrenia.

BACKGROUND: To explore the effect of dance art on the treatment of hospitalized patients with chronic schizophrenia. METHODS: In a prospective randomized controlled study conducted from June 2019 to June 2020, 120 patients from Shanghai Pudong New Area Mental Health Center were divided into intervention (n = 60) and control (n = 60) groups using a random number table. Control patients received standard drug treatment and nursing care, while the intervention group underwent dance art therapy sessions for 90 minutes twice weekly, in addition to standard care. Treatment outcomes after 6 and 12 weeks were measured using the positive and negative symptom scale (PANSS), Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA), and body mass index (BMI). RESULTS: This study involved 120 male patients with chronic schizophrenia, aged 30 to 60 years. After 6 and 12 weeks, the intervention group showed a greater reduction in PANSS scores (intervention group: from 49.02 ±â€…2.53 to 37.02 ±â€…1.83, control group: from 49.08 ±â€…2.59 to 44.91 ±â€…2.35, P < .05). In the WCST, the intervention group exhibited a higher increase in classification completion and correct answers, and a greater decrease in errors (P < .05). MoCA scores improved significantly in the intervention group compared to the control group (P < .05). BMI decreased in both groups, with a more pronounced reduction in the intervention group (intervention group: from 26.47 ±â€…1.05 kg/m² to 22.87 ±â€…0.73 kg/m², control group: from 26.50 ±â€…1.03 kg/m² to 26.22 ±â€…0.80 kg/m², P < .05). CONCLUSION: Based on routine drug treatment and routine nursing care, dance art has a better clinical effect in treating hospitalized patients with chronic schizophrenia, which can improve cognitive function, alleviate clinical symptoms, and reduce BMI.

Preparation of a hydrolyzed yeast ß-glucan chromium(III) complex and evaluation of its hypoglycemic activity and sub-acute toxicity.

Yeast ß-glucan (BYG) possesses extremely low solubility that has limited its applications. In this study, we hydrolyzed BYG using snail enzyme to obtain hydrolyzed yeast ß-glucan (HBYG) with desirable water solubility and hypoglycemic activity. On the basis of HBYG, HBYG­chromium(III) complex (HBYG-Cr) was synthesized. The molecular weight of the complex was 4.41 × 104 Da, and the content of trivalent chromium was 8.95 %. The hydroxyl groups of HBYG participated in the coordination and formed the chromium complex. The space conformations of HBYG exhibited remarkable changes after complex formation. HBYG-Cr existed mainly in an amorphous state and presented good dispersibility, and the surface was uneven. The hypoglycemic activity of HBYG-Cr was studied in db/db and C57 mice. The results showed that HBYG-Cr had good hypoglycemic activity. Histopathological studies demonstrated that the liver, kidney, pancreas, and skeletal muscle in the treatment group were significantly improved compared with those in the diabetic model group. The sub-acute toxicity of HBYG-Cr was studied in KM mice and the results indicated that the complex did not cause adverse reactions or toxic side effects. This study broadened the application of yeast ß-glucan and provided an important reference for the development of hypoglycemic functional foods and drugs.

Efficient Neutral H2O2 Electrosynthesis from Favorable Reaction Microenvironments via Porous Carbon Carrier Engineering.

The efficient electrosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) via two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e- ORR) in neutral media is undoubtedly a practical route, but the limited comprehension of electrocatalysts has hindered the system advancement. Herein, we present the design of model catalysts comprising mesoporous carbon spheres-supported Pd nanoparticles for H2O2 electrosynthesis at near-zero overpotential with approximately 95 % selectivity in a neutral electrolyte. Impressively, the optimized Pd/MCS-8 electrocatalyst in a flow cell device achieves an exceptional H2O2 yield of 15.77 mol gcatalyst -1 h-1, generating a neutral H2O2 solution with an accumulated concentration of 6.43 wt %, a level sufficiently high for medical disinfection. Finite element simulation and experimental results suggest that mesoporous carbon carriers promote O2 enrichment and localized pH elevation, establishing a favorable microenvironment for 2e- ORR in neutral media. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the robust interaction between Pd nanoparticles and the carbon carriers optimized the adsorption of OOH* at the carbon edge, ensuring high active 2e- process. These findings offer new insights into carbon-loaded electrocatalysts for efficient 2e- ORR in neutral media, emphasizing the role of carrier engineering in constructing favorable microenvironments and synergizing active sites.

Elderly patients with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer with liver metastases benefit from low dose disitamab vedotin (RC48): case series and literature review.

Currently, although some antibody-drug conjugates have been shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of drug-resistant relapsed human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/fluorescence in situ hybridization+) breast cancer, they are already approved for clinical use in China. But the clinical needs of advanced HER2-positive patients cannot be met due to adverse reactions, drug resistance, drug accessibility and other problems, thus affecting the prognosis of patients. In particular, the representation of elderly and frail patients in randomized clinical trials is significantly under-represented. We report on two elderly women with breast cancer who developed recurrent metastatic lesions after breast cancer surgery and were again confirmed HER2-positive by histopathology and immunohistochemistry. They all developed multiple metastases in the liver after second- or third-line anti-HER2 therapy. Subsequent treatment with RC48 produced good responses and tolerable adverse reactions. One patient obtained progression-free survival for more than 7 months. Based on preliminary evidence, this study shows that RC48 in HER2-positive breast cancer with liver metastases can achieve rapid remission, thereby reducing tumor load and improving patients' quality of life. In particular, RC48 has low side effects and can be well tolerated by elderly patients after dose adjustment, providing them with treatment opportunities. It needs to be further discussed in the future research.

A feasibility study to predict 3D dose delivery accuracy for IMRT using DenseNet with log files.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to explore the feasibility of DenseNet in the establishment of a three-dimensional (3D) gamma prediction model of IMRT based on the actual parameters recorded in the log files during delivery. METHODS: A total of 55 IMRT plans (including 367 fields) were randomly selected. The gamma analysis was performed using gamma criteria of 3% /3 mm (Dose Difference/Distance to Agreement), 3% /2 mm, 2% /3 mm, and 2% /2 mm with a 10% dose threshold. In addition, the log files that recorded the gantry angle, monitor units (MU), multi-leaf collimator (MLC), and jaws position during delivery were collected. These log files were then converted to MU-weighted fluence maps as the input of DenseNet, gamma passing rates (GPRs) under four different gamma criteria as the output, and mean square errors (MSEs) as the loss function of this model. RESULTS: Under different gamma criteria, the accuracy of a 3D GPR prediction model decreased with the implementation of stricter gamma criteria. In the test set, the mean absolute error (MAE) of the prediction model under the gamma criteria of 3% /3 mm, 2% /3 mm, 3% /2 mm, and 2% /2 mm was 1.41, 1.44, 3.29, and 3.54, respectively; the root mean square error (RMSE) was 1.91, 1.85, 4.27, and 4.40, respectively; the Sr was 0.487, 0.554, 0.573, and 0.506, respectively. There was a correlation between predicted and measured GPRs (P < 0.01). Additionally, there was no significant difference in the accuracy between the validation set and the test set. The accuracy in the high GPR group was high, and the MAE in the high GPR group was smaller than that in the low GPR group under four different gamma criteria. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, a 3D GPR prediction model of patient-specific QA using DenseNet was established based on log files. As an auxiliary tool for 3D dose verification in IMRT, this model is expected to improve the accuracy and efficiency of dose validation.

The relationship between changes in peak expiratory flow and asthma exacerbations in asthmatic children.

BACKGROUND: Asthma is one of the most common chronic airway diseases in children. Preventing asthma exacerbation is one of the objectives of all asthma action plans. In patients with poor perception, it is difficult to identify acute asthma exacerbations by clinical asthma score, asthma control test or asthma control questionnaire. The aim of this study is to analyze whether children with asthma have changes in peak expiratory flow(PEF)before an acute asthma exacerbation and to evaluate the relationship between PEF and asthma exacerbation. METHODS: Basic information (including sex, age, atopy, etc.) and clinical information of asthmatic children who registered in the Electronic China Children's Asthma Action Plan (e-CCAAP) from 1 September 2017 to 31 August 2021 were collected. Subjects with 14 consecutive days of PEF measurements were eligible. Subjects in this study were divided into an exacerbation group and a control group. We analyzed the relationship between changes in PEF% pred and the presence of asthma symptoms. RESULT: A total of 194 children with asthma who met the inclusion criteria were included, including 144 males (74.2%) and 50 females (25.8%), with a male-to-female ratio of 2.88:1. The mean age of the subjects was 9.51 ± 2.5 years. There were no significant differences in sex, age, allergy history or baseline PEF between the two groups. In children with and without a history of allergy, there was no significant difference between the variation in PEF at 14 days. Patients who only had a reduced in PEF but no symptoms of asthma exacerbation had the greatest reduction in PEF compared to the other groups. The most common cause of acute exacerbations of asthma is upper respiratory tract infection. Among the causes of acute exacerbations of asthma, the variation in PEF caused by air pollution was significantly higher than that of other causes (P < 0.05). In acute exacerbations, the decrease in PEF was significantly greater in the exacerbation group than in the control group. In children with asthma symptoms, there was a decrease in PEF approximately 1.34 days before the onset of symptoms. CONCLUSION: Children with asthma show a decrease in PEF 1.34 days before the onset of asthma symptoms. We recommend that asthmatic children who show a decrease in PEF should step-up asthma therapy. The most common cause of acute exacerbations of asthma was upper respiratory tract infections, and the variation in PEF caused by air pollution was significantly higher than that caused by other factors.

Tunable and switchable multifunctional terahertz meta-mirror based on graphene and vanadium dioxide.

We design a multifunctional THz polarization modulation meta-mirror integrated with polarization conversion and dichroism functions switched by temperature and voltage. The meta-mirror is composed of two-layered graphene metasurfaces and a layer of vanadium dioxide (VO2) on a gold film substrate. Linear-to-linear polarization conversion and linear dichroism (LD) can be switched by temperature control in the VO2 film and Fermi level adjustments in the graphene metasurfaces, where the polarization conversion ratio (PCR) is higher than 0.9 in the range of 2.89 THz to 4.02 THz, LD value reached a maximum of 0.6 at 3.84 THz, and linear-to-circular polarization conversion and circular dichroism (CD) can also be tuned with ellipticity higher than 0.9 in the range of 2.32 THz to 2.69 THz and CD value as high as 0.71 at 2.45 THz. The proposed meta-mirror is the first THz metamaterial device integrating four switchable functions, including linear-to-linear polarization conversion, linear-to-circular polarization conversion, linear dichroism and circular dichroism. The meta-mirror is a promising design for compact system integration in THz imaging, sensing and biological detection applications.
