RESUMO
Phosphor-converted white light-emitting diodes (PC-WLEDs) have attracted considerable attention in solid-state lighting and display. However, urgent issues of thermal quenching and high cost remain formidable challenges. Herein, a novel metal-organic framework (MOF) phosphor [CdCl2(AD)] was facilely prepared using a mixture of CdCl2 and acridine (AD) under solvothermal conditions. It shows intensive green emission with a long lifetime of 31.88 ns and quantum yield of 65% while maintaining 95% and 84% of its initial emission intensity after remaining immersed in water for 60 days and being heated to 150 °C, respectively. The low thermal quenching of this MOF material is comparable to or can even exceed that of commercial inorganic phosphors. The combination of experiments and theoretical calculations reveals that the alternating arrangement of delocalized AD π-conjugated systems and CdCl2 inorganic chains through strong coordination bonds and πâ¯π stacking interactions imparts the MOF phosphor with high thermal stability and optoelectronic performance. The successful fabrication of green and white LED devices by coating [CdCl2(AD)] and/or N630 red phosphor on a 365/460 nm commercial diode chip suggests a promising and potential alternative to commercial phosphors.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disease, and renal involvement has been considered to be one of the systemic complications of pSS. Patients who have sjogren's syndrome with renal disease as the first manifestation and no exocrine gland involvement or autoantibodies can be missed clinically. CASE SUMMARY: We here in report an unusual case of a primary Sjogren's syndrome in a 43-year-old female who had minimal lesion nephropathy as the initial presentation, and the patient was negative for serum anti-SSA and anti-SSB antibodies and did not have signs of exocrine gland involvement. The patient's Sjogren's syndrome was confirmed by a minor salivary gland biopsy (MSGB) and a filter paper test. the patient's oedema subsided, and the patient's urinary protein resolved, showing that the treatment was effective. CONCLUSION: MSGB should be considered if pSS is suspected in patients who do not have the typical pSS symptoms or who are positive for the specific autoantibodies.
