RESUMO

PdSe2 is a puckered transition metal dichalcogenide that has been reported to undergo a two-dimensional to three-dimensional structural transition under pressure. Here, we investigated the electronic and phononic evolution of PdSe2 under high pressure using pump-probe spectroscopy. We observed the electronic intraband and interband transitions occurring in the d orbitals of Pd, revealing the disappearance of the Jahn-Teller effect under high pressure. Furthermore, we found that the decay rates of interband recombination and intraband relaxation lifetimes change at 3 and 7 GPa, respectively. First-principles calculations suggest that the bandgap closure slows the decay rate of interband recombination after 3 GPa, while the saturation of phonon-phonon scattering is the main reason for the relatively constant intraband relaxation lifetime. Our work provides a novel perspective for understanding the evolution of the electron and modulation of the carrier dynamics by phonons under pressure.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Genotype status of glioma have important significance to clinical treatment and prognosis. At present, there are few studies on the prediction of multiple genotype status in glioma by method of multi-sequence radiomics. The purpose of the study is to compare the performance of clinical features (age, sex, WHO grade, MRI morphological features etc.), radiomics features from multi MR sequence (T2WI, T1WI, DWI, ADC, CE-MRI (contrast enhancement)), and a combined multiple features model in predicting biomarker status (IDH, MGMT, TERT, 1p/19q of glioma. METHODS: In this retrospective analysis, 81 glioma patients confirmed by histology were enrolled in this study. Five MRI sequences were used for radiomic feature extraction. Finally, 107 features were extracted from each sequence on Pyradiomics software, separately. These included 18 first-order metrics, such as the mean, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis etc., 14 shape features and second-order metrics including 24 grey level run length matrix (GLCM), 16 grey level run length matrix (GLRLM), 16 grey level size zone matrix (GLSZM), 5 neighboring gray tone difference matrix (NGTDM), and 14 grey level dependence matrix (GLDM). Then, Univariate analysis and LASSO (Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression model were used to data dimension reduction, feature selection, and radiomics signature building. Significant features (p < 0.05 by multivariate logistic regression were retained to establish clinical model, T1WI model, T2WI model, T1 + C (T1WI contrast enhancement model, DWI model and ADC model, multi sequence model. Clinical features were combined with multi sequence model to establish a combined model. The predictive performance was validated by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC analysis and decision curve analysis (DCA). RESULTS: The combined model showed the better performance in some groups of genotype status among some models (IDH AUC = 0.93, MGMT AUC = 0.88, TERT AUC = 0.76). Multi sequence model performed better than single sequence model in IDH, MGMT, TERT. There was no significant difference among the models in predicting 1p/19q status. Decision curve analysis showed combined model has higher clinical benefit than multi sequence model. CONCLUSION: Multi sequence model is an effective method to identify the genotype status of cerebral glioma. Combined with clinical models can better distinguish genotype status of glioma. KEY POINTS: The combined model showed the higher performance compare with other models in predicting genotype status of IDH, MGMT, TERT. Multi sequence model showed a better predictive model than that of a single sequence model. Compared with other models, the combined model and multi sequence model show no advantage in prediction of 1p/19q status.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To compare the performance of clinical features, conventional MR image features, ADC value, T2WI, DWI, DCE-MRI radiomics, and a combined multiple features model in predicting the type of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). METHODS: In this retrospective analysis, 61 EOC patients were confirmed by histology. Significant features (p < 0.05) by multivariate logistic regression were retained to establish a clinical model, conventional MRI morphological model, ADC model, and traditional model. The radiomics model included FS-T2WI, DWI, and DCE-MRI, and also, a multisequence model was established. A total of 1070 radiomics features of each sequence were extracted; then, univariate analysis and LASSO were used to select important features. Traditional models were combined with a combined radiomics model to establish a mixed model. The predictive performance was validated by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). A stratified analysis was conducted to compare the differences between the combined radiomics model and the traditional model in identifying early- and late-stage EOC. RESULTS: Traditional models showed the highest performance (AUC = 0.96). The performance of the mixed model (AUC = 0.97) was not significantly different from that of the traditional model. The calibration curve showed that the traditional model had the highest reliability. Stratified analysis showed the potential of the combined radiomics model in the early distinction of the two tumor types. CONCLUSION: The traditional model is an effective tool to distinguish EOC type I/II. Combined radiomics models have the potential to better distinguish EOC types in early FIGO stage disease. KEY POINTS: • The combined radiomics model resulted in a better predictive model than that from a single sequence model. • The traditional model showed higher classification accuracy than the combined radiomics model. • Combined radiomics models have the potential to better distinguish EOC types in early FIGO stage disease.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: In the present study, spinal metastatic tumors, brucellar spondylitis and spinal tuberculosis were quantitatively analyzed using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) to assess the value of DCE-MRI in the differential diagnosis of these diseases. METHODS: Patients with brucellar spondylitis, spinal tuberculosis or a spinal metastatic tumor (30 cases of each) received conventional MRI and DCE-MRI examination. The volume transfer constant (Ktrans), rate constant (Kep), extravascular extracellular volume fraction (Ve) and plasma volume fraction (Vp) of the diseased vertebral bodies were measured on the perfusion parameter map, and the differences in these parameters between the patients were compared. RESULTS: For pathological vertebrae in cases of spinal metastatic tumor, brucellar spondylitis and spinal tuberculosis, respectively, the Ktrans values (median ± quartile pitch) were 0.989±0.014, 0.720±0.011 and 0.317±0.005 min-1; the Kep values were 2.898±0.055, 1.327±0.017 and 0.748±0.006 min-1; the Ve values were 0.339±0.008, 0.542±0.013 and 0.428±0.018; the Vp values were 0.048±0.008, 0.035±0.004 and 0.028±0.009; the corresponding H values were 50.25 (for Ktrans), 52.47 (for Kep), 48.33 (for Ve) and 46.56 (for Vp), and all differences were statistically significant (two-sided P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The quantitative analysis of DCE-MRI has a certain value in the differential diagnosis of spinal metastatic tumor, brucellar spondylitis and spinal tuberculosis.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To detect resting-state functional MRI (rsfMRI) changes and their relationships with the clinical curative effect of anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) for complex partial seizures (CPS) in epilepsy patients using the fractional amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (fALFF). METHODS: rfMRI data from 14 CPS patients enrolled between June 2015 and June 2016 in Department of Neurology, Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University were retrospectively investigated and compared with findings from 14 healthy age-, gender-, handedness-, and education-matched subjects. The patients were treated with first-line antiepileptic drugs for 12 weeks before undergoing a second rfMRI scan. fALFF data were processed using REST and SPM8 software. Whole-brain data were compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS: The abnormal findings in CPS patients significantly decreased or disappeared after AED treatment. CONCLUSION: Measuring fALFF is useful for identifying brain functional changes in patients with first-episode epilepsy before and after treatment. Performing rfMRI is useful for evaluating treatment responses and may provide new insight into the pathophysiological mechanisms of epilepsy.

RESUMO

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has been linked to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in this process involved in PD remains poorly understood. Recent studies indicate that miR-384-5p plays an important role for cell survival in response to different insults, but the role of miR-384-5p in PD-associated neurotoxicity remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the role of miR-384-5p in an in vitro model of PD using dopaminergic SH-SY5Y cells treated with rotenone. We found that miR-384-5p was persistently induced by rotenone in neurons. Also, the inhibition of miR-384-5p significantly suppressed rotenone-induced neurotoxicity, while overexpression of miR-384-5p aggravated rotenone-induced neurotoxicity. Through bioinformatics and dual-luciferase reporter assay, miR-384-5p was found to directly target the 3'-untranslated region of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), the master regulator of ER stress sensors. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting analysis showed that miR-384-5p negatively regulated the expression of GRP78. Inhibition of miR-384-5p remarkably suppressed rotenone-evoked ER stress, which was evident by a reduction in the phosphorylation of activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) and inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1α). The downstream target genes of ER stress including CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-homologous protein (CHOP) and X box-binding protein-1 (XBP-1) were also decreased by the miR-384-5p inhibitor. In contrast, overexpression of miR-384-5p enhanced ER stress signaling. In addition, knockdown of GRP78 significantly abrogated the inhibitory effect of miR-384-5p inhibitors on cell apoptosis and ER stress signaling. Moreover, we observed a significant increase of miR-384-5p expression in primary neurons induced by rotenone. Taken together, our results suggest that miR-384-5p mediated ER stress by negatively regulating GRP78 and that miR-384-5p inhibition might be a novel and promising approach for the treatment of PD.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To study the mRNA expression level of growth inhibition factor 4 (ING4) and hypoxia inducing factor 1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha), and their relationship with tumor malignant degree or the pathology classification in human brain astrocytoma. METHODS: The mRNA expression levels of ING4 and HIF-1 alpha were detected by RT-PCR method in 45 cases of grade I-IV human brain astrocytoma and 11 cases of control brain tissues from January 2009 to June 2010 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, and their correlation was also analyzed. RESULTS: In the non-tumor brain tissue, the expression level of ING4 mRNA was 1.19 ± 0.22, while they were 0.91 ± 0.19, 0.74 ± 0.28, 0.54 ± 0.33 and 0.22 ± 0.19 in I-IV grade astrocytoma, respectively. Compared with the non-tumor control, the mRNA expression level of ING4 gene decreased significantly in the astrocytoma (P<0.05). And the expression of ING4 gradually reduced with the increase of the pathological classification of the astrocytoma.In the non-tumor brain tissue, the expression level of HIF-1 alpha mRNA was 0.26 ± 0.16, and they were 0.34 ± 0.19, 0.50 ± 0.23, 0.96 ± 0.15 and 1.04 ± 0.15 in I-IV grade astrocytoma, respectively.For HIF-1 alpha gene, the mRNA expression level increased significantly in the astrocytoma. Meanwhile, the expression gradually increased with the increase of the pathological classification of the astrocytoma (P<0.05). The mRNA expression showed a negative correlation between ING4 and HIF-1 alpha with the increase of the tumor malignant degree. CONCLUSION: The ING4 and HIF-1 alpha genes play a role in the tumorigenesis and development of human brain astrocytoma, and closely associate with the malignant degree of astrocytoma.

RESUMO

Metal halide perovskites have garnered significant attention in the scientific community for their promising applications in optoelectronic devices. The application of pressure engineering, a viable technique, has played a crucial role in substantially improving the optoelectronic characteristics of perovskites. Despite notable progress in understanding ground-state structural changes under high pressure, a comprehensive exploration of excited-state dynamics influencing luminescence remains incomplete. This Perspective delves into recent advances in time-resolved dynamics studies of photoexcited metal halide perovskites under high pressure. With a focus on the intricate interplay between structural alterations and electronic properties, we investigate electron-phonon interactions, carrier transport mechanisms, and the influential roles of self-trapped excitons (STEs) and coherent phonons in luminescence. However, significant challenges persist, notably the need for more advanced measurement techniques and a deeper understanding of the phenomena induced by high pressure in perovskites.

RESUMO

Quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) perovskites hold significant potential for diverse design strategies due to their tunable structures, exceptional optical properties, and environmental stability. Due to the complexity of the structure and carrier dynamics, characterization methods such as photoluminescence and absorption spectroscopy can observe but cannot precisely distinguish or identify the phase distribution within quasi-2D perovskite films or correlate phases with carrier dynamics. In this study, we used pressure to modulate the intralayer and interlayer structures of (PEA)2Csn-1PbnBr3n+1 quasi-2D perovskite films, investigating charge carrier dynamics. Steady-state spectroscopy revealed phase transitions at 1.62, 3, and 8 GPa, with free excitons transforming into self-trapped excitons after 8 GPa. Transient absorption spectroscopy elucidated the structural evolution, energy transfer, and pressure-induced transition mechanisms. The results demonstrate that combining pressure and spectroscopy enables the precise identification of phase distribution and pressure response ranges and reveals photophysical mechanisms, providing new insights for optimizing optoelectronic materials.

RESUMO

Efficient warm white light emission is an ideal characteristic of single-component materials for light-emitting applications. Although two-dimensional hybrid perovskites are promising candidates for light-emitting diodes, as they possess broadband self-trapped emission and outstanding stability, they rarely achieve a high photoluminescence quantum yield of warm white light emissions. Here, an unusual pressure-induced warm white emission enhancement phenomenon from 2.1 GPa to 9.9 GPa was observed in two-dimensional perovskite (2meptH2)PbCl4, accompanied by a large increase in the relative quantum yield of photoluminescence. The octahedral distortions, accompanied with the evolution of organic cations, triggered the structural collapse, which caused the sudden emission enhancement at 2.1 GPa. Afterwards, the further intra-octahedral collapse promotes the formation of self-trapped excitons and the substantial suppression of nonradiative transitions are responsible for the continuous pressure-induced photoluminescence enhancement. This study not only clearly illustrates the relationship between crystal structure and photoluminescence, but also provides an experimental basis for the synthesis of high-quality warm white light-emitting 2D metal halide perovskite materials.

RESUMO

In a two-dimensional (2D) metallic nanostructure, when a sample's thickness is shorter than a carrier mean free path, the ultrathin thickness may influence carrier and energy transport, owing to surface scattering. However, to date, for metallic 2D transition-metal carbides (MXenes), experiments and calculations related to surface scattering have not been performed. The contribution of ultrathin structures to carrier surface scattering in MXene is yet to be explored. Herein, to reveal this effect, we design various models, including metal/MXene, dielectric/MXene, and bulk structure, and analyze their carrier dynamics via ultrafast spectroscopy. The results related to carrier dynamics indicate that the influence of the dielectric/MXene interface and the temperature is negligible. In contrast, the carrier dynamic lifetimes are prolonged owing to weakened surface scattering in metal/MXene, which is supported by ab initio calculations. These results suggest that the carrier-phonon scattering is dominated by surface scattering. These findings can help guide effective energy transport and enhance energy conversion and catalysis.

RESUMO

Remote optical sensing with nondestructive, fast, and accurate detection capabilities is a powerful noncontact method widely used in natural, industrial, and biological fields. In this work, Cs2NaErCl6 double perovskite was synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The pressure-dependent photoluminescence (PL) lifetime of Er3+ in the range of 0-20 GPa was investigated, demonstrating its potential for pressure monitoring. The high-pressure relative sensitivity (SR) is ∼18.45% GPa-1. Temperature measurements were conducted using the fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR) of the thermal couple energy level (TCEL) and the nonthermal couple energy level (NTCEL) of Er3+ across a temperature range of 100-660 K, with a maximum SR of 5.36% K-1. By combining MXene with Cs2NaErCl6 and recording the FIR of Cs2NaErCl6 under 1550 nm excitation, the photothermal conversion temperature of MXene can be accurately determined. These findings highlight the potential of Cs2NaErCl6 for remote pressure and temperature sensing, particularly in the biomedical field.

RESUMO

Most resting-state functional MRI studies of epilepsy are conducted in the interictal phase as the ictal phase is not suitable. We report and discuss a 13-year-old female epilepsy patient who had ictal examination. She was diagnosed with simple partial seizure epilepsy and on regular anti-epileptic drugs. There were no significant symptoms after careful treatment. We conclude that analysis of the amplitude of low frequency fluctuations may provide a useful tool in the functional MRI study of epilepsy.

RESUMO

This study has investigated the microscopic mechanisms of ultralow lattice thermal conductivity by the first-principles density functional theory. By solving the phonon Boltzmann equation iteratively, we find that the thermal conductivity of the lattice is abnormally low and that glass like heat transfer behavior occurs. Therefore, in addition to the contribution about the particle-like propagation to heat transport, the off-diagonal elements of the heat-flux operator through wave-like interbranch tunneling of phonon modes are also considered. The results provided new insights into the minimum thermal conductivity (κL) for Cs2SnBr6 (0.17 W m-1 K-1 at 450 K). It was also found that polar optical phonon scattering severely affects carrier lifetime. In addition, an impressive thermoelectric figure of merit of 0.55 at 450 K for Cs2SnBr6 was obtained in the case of doping p-type carriers. The study helps us understand the ultralow κL in complex crystals with strong anharmonicity and find that Cs2SnBr6 is a new and promising thermoelectric material.

RESUMO

Alloying has emerged as a new strategy to tune the function of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). However, the lack of research on the electrical and structural properties of these alloys limits their practical applications. Here, femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy with pump pulse tunability is performed to elucidate the ultrafast carrier dynamics in the few-layer Mo0.5W0.5S2 prepared by the liquid phase exfoliation method. An anomalous rebleaching of the ground state is observed at high pump fluence by 3.1 eV excitation. We ascribe this rebleaching of the ground state to the mechanism that the carriers trapped in the defect are thermally excited back to the untrapped exciton state due to the phonon recycling, which hinders the dissipation of nonradiative energy, through comparative experiments and global analysis. Our findings demonstrate a novel energy transfer channel assisted by defect in few-layer TMDCs which is critical for their advanced applications.

RESUMO

Organic solid-state luminescent materials exhibit numerous exciting photoelectric properties that are central to emergent organic light-emitting diodes, smart sensors, and data encryption. However, the luminescence of pure organic rotor-free materials has been afflicted with strong intermolecular π-π stacking interactions. Herein, an unprecedented pressure-induced emission enhancement (PIEE) is realized in a system of rigid planar pure polycyclic aromatics, i.e., truxene crystals. The emission intensity is enhanced 7-fold below 3.0 GPa with a photoluminescence quantum yield increased to 10.17% compared with the initial value of 1.78%, and the emission colors change from green (520 nm) to red (640 nm) within 11.8 GPa. Spectral characterizations and first-principles calculations reveal that the PIEE and piezochromism can mainly be attributed to the restricted intermolecular vibration and the decreased energy gap. Our findings enrich the PIEE mechanism and provide a new guideline for designing pressure-responsive luminescent materials in advancing their photoelectric applications.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The objective of the study was to determine the frequency of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) by using phasesensitive imaging in patients with previous transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke who were receiving aspirin treatment. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 300 outpatients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease: 150 had been receiving aspirin treatment for >1 year (patients), and 150 controls had not previously received aspirin. Cerebral microbleeds were defined by a trained observer (blinded to clinical details) according to results of T2-weighted, T1-weighted, diffusion-weighted, and phase-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Numerous vascular risk factors including white matter hyperintensity (WMH), duration of aspirin treatment, age, hypertension or diabetes mellitus were investigated for a possible association with the presence of CMBs in the two groups. RESULTS: The frequency of CMBs (60/150 (40%) vs 18/150 (12%); odds ratio 4.899, p <0.0001) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)(42/150 (28%) vs 2/150 (1%); odds ratio 28.778, p <0.0001) were significantly higher in the patients than in the controls. Among patients, those using aspirin for >5 years(42/68 (62%) showed a higher frequency of CMBs than those receiving aspirin for ≤ 5 years(18/82 (22%); odds ratio 5.744, p<0.0001). WMH (p=0.020/0.030, 0.007/0.000) age (p=0.007/0.000) and hypertension (p=0.000/0.033), in patients and controls respectively, were each associated with CMBs. CONCLUSIONS: There was a clear impact of aspirin treatment on CMBs associated with intracerebral hemorrhage in Chinese patients. The frequency of CMBs and hemorrhagic complications was higher in patients treated with long-term aspirin.

RESUMO

The morbidity of hemangioblastoma in the supratentorial region is very low, and is seldom found in the area of the cerebellopontine angle, so it is easily misdiagnosis before surgery. We report and discuss a case of hemangioblastoma originating at the right cerebellopontine angle in a 42-year-old female patient.

OBJECTIVE: Three models were used to evaluate prostate cancer after androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and to determine the value of detecting residual lesions after treatment. METHODS: We retrospectively analysed patients with prostate cancer who received ADT from January 2018 to June 2019. Patients were divided into ADT responder and ADT non-responder groups, and clinical risk factors were determined. Regions of interest were manually contoured on each slice on fat-saturated-T2-weighted imaging, and radiomic features were extracted. Uni- and multivariate logistic regression were used to establish radiomics, clinical and combined models. RESULTS: There were 23 ADT non-responders and 20 ADT responders. In the clinical model, total prostate-specific antigen concentration and T stage were independent predictors of efficacy (area under the curve (AUC) = 0.774). The characteristics, MinIntensity and Correlation_ angle135_offset4 indicated an effective clinical model (AUC = 0.807). GLCMEntropy_ AllDirection_offset1_SD was the best feature to differentiate residual lesions from the central gland (CG) (Lesion-CG model, AUC = 0.955). Correlation_angle135_offset4, GLCMEntropy_ AllDirection_offset4_SD and GLCMEntropy_AllDirection_offset7_SD differentiated residual lesions from the peripheral zone (PZ) (Lesion-PZ model, AUC = 0.855). The AUC for the combined model was 0.904. CONCLUSIONS: Our models can guide the clinical treatment of patients with different ADT responses. Furthermore, the radiomics model can detect prostate cancer that is non-responsive to ADT.
