Covalent functionalization of Sb2S3 with poly(N-vinylcarbazole) for solid-state broadband laser protection.

An optimized complex multi-component nanomaterial system would help greatly enhance the optical limiting performance and applicability of 2D nanomaterials. By using antimony sulfide-[S-1-dodecyl-S'-(α,α'-dimethyl-α''-acetic acid)trithiocarbonate] (Sb2S3-DDAT) as a reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agent, a highly soluble poly(N-vinylcarbazole)-covalently modified Sb2S3 (Sb2S3-PVK) was synthesized in situ and embedded into a non-optically active poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) matrix producing a PMMA-based film with good optical quality. In contrast to both the Sb2S3/PMMA and Sb2S3:PVK blends/PMMA films, the Sb2S3-PVK/PMMA film exhibits more superior optical limiting performance. After annealing in N2 at 200 °C for 30 minutes, the achieved nonlinear absorption coefficient and limiting threshold are changed from 411.79 cm GW-1 and 1.93 J cm-2 at 532 nm and 242.79 cm GW-1 and 4.17 J cm-2 at 1064 nm before annealing to 478.04 cm GW-1 and 1.70 J cm-2 at 532 nm and 520.92 cm GW-1 and 1.40 J cm-2 at 1064 nm after annealing, respectively. These advantages make Sb2S3-PVK one of the potential promising candidates for a broadband laser protector in both the visible and near-infrared ranges.

[An analysis of impact factor of Chinese Journal of Internal Medicine from 2008 to 2010].

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the articles and citation published in the Chinese Journal of Internal Medicine from 2008 to 2010, in order to investigate the influence factors of impact factor (IF). METHODS: All articles published in the Chinese Journal of Internal Medicine covered by Chinese Medical Citation Index(CMCI) from 2008 to 2010 were searched and downloaded. Some article related attributions were manual added and their influences to IF were analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 1164 academic papers were published in the journal in 3 years, with 9.95 references per paper. The total citation was 1029 times, with 0.93 time per paper and 0.31 time per page. Among them, 736 articles were not cited, accounting for 63.2%. Original articles, pure clinical articles had good citation output. For fund supporting, the citation of articles without fund was higher than those with fund. The articles on hematology, cardiology and gastroenterology accounted the most, while ICU, emergency and nephrology were the least internal medicine reported specialties. Although there exists citation difference among different subjects, for considering the absolute values, neurology/psychiatry (0.73 time per paper), cardiology (0.65 time per paper) and gastroenterology (0. 54 time per paper) had better citation output, while hematology, basic research and rheumatology had no good performance to IF. CONCLUSION: We should further strengthen acquisition and dissemination of excellent articles, reduce the number of non-cited paper, expand periodical visibility, and provide a quick and convenient way of literature reading.

[The citation analysis of Chinese Journal of Internal Medicine from 2005 to 2011].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the academic level of Chinese Journal of Internal Medicine by analyzing its citation status by using bibliometrics method. METHODS: The distribution of articles published in Chinese Journal of Internal Medicine from January, 2005 to December, 2011 indexed by Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD) was analyzed. RESULTS: A total of 2809 articles were published in Chinese Journal of Internal Medicine between January,2005 and December, 2011. Among them, 832(29.62%) articles were cited for totally 1993 times. There were 14 authors whose total citation number in 2005-2011 was > or = 10 times. Authors of the cited articles came from 25 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. The regions from where the articles had the highest citation were Beijing (341 articles), Shanghai (87 articles), Guangdong (64 articles), Jiangsu (45 articles) and Zhejiang (43 articles). The medical institutions with the highest citation were Peking Union Medical College Hospital of Peking Union Medical College and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (205 times), Peking University People's Hospital (77 times), and Chinese PLA General Hospital (76 times). CONCLUSIONS: Quite a few high level academic papers had been published in Chinese Journal of Internal Medicine in recent years. Chinese Journal of Internal Medicine plays a good role in enhancing academic exchange.

[A bibliometric investigation to research fronts of major sub-specialties in internal medicine].

OBJECTIVE: To outline the research fronts of ten major sub-specialties in internal medicine. METHODS: Based on their impact factor scores and the proportion of the journals of 10 subspecialties (endocrinology & metabolism, cardiac & cardiovascular systems, hematology, infectious diseases, nephrology, gastroenterology & hepatology, respiratory system, rheumatology, critical care medicine, clinical neurology) in Journal Citation Report (JCR), and careful consulation of expert clinicians, we identified 50 journals. Their bibliographic records (including references) published in 2011 were downloaded, and the frequency of the references (citations) in each sub-specialty was counted and the highly cited records were extracted. We performed a clustering analysis according to the co-cited times among any pairs of the highly cited records. To tag each cluster of highly cited records, we browsed the titles and abstracts of all highly cited records in the same cluster, and concluded the main topics of each cluster. Finally, we extracted the current published papers devoted to particular cluster by some clustering analysis indicators. The clusters of highly cited records were considered as the intelligence base, and the main topics in current papers which citing these highly cited papers were considered as research fronts. RESULTS: Totally 50 journals on 10 sub-specialties in internal medicine were identified. A total of 202 highly cited papers, 38 clusters (knowledge bases) , and 152 corresponding current citing papers presenting the research fronts were selected. CONCLUSIONS: We confirm and present research fronts in 10 major sub-specialties of internal medicine. This study provides a synchronic structure of contemporary research activities in internal medicine sub-specialties.

[A citation analysis of Chinese Journal of Ophthalmology from 2005 to 2009].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the academic level and the quality of Chinese Journal of Ophthalmology (CJO) by analyzing its citation status. METHODS: Bibliometrics was used to analyze and evaluate the distribution of original papers in CJO in 2005-2009 based on the data of Chinese Medical Citation Index (CMCI). RESULTS: A total of 1358 papers were published in CJO between 2005 and 2009. Among them, 695 were cited for 2333 times, with an average of 3.36 times per cited paper. The papers were cited by authors from 26 provinces or municipalities or autonomous regions, Hongkong and Macao, China, as well as 2 from United States. The regions from where the papers had the highest citation were Beijing (202 times), Shanghai (93), Guangdong (82) and Shandong (69). The institutions with the highest citation rates were Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-Sen University (349 times) and Beijing Tongren Eye Center (265). CJO had been cited by more than 300 other journals in the past 5 years, such as International Ophthalmology, Ophthalmology and Chinese Journal of Practical Ophthalmology. CONCLUSIONS: CJO, which is the journal with the high quality and citation rate, is one of the resources with important information in ophthalmology. It is one of the prestigious medical journals in China.
