RESUMO
Reasonable regulation of the micro-morphology of material can significantly enhance the related performance. Herein, bismuth tungstate (Bi2WO6, simplified as BWO) porous hollow spheres with flower-like surface were prepared successfully, and this unique morphology endowed BWO with improved photocatalytic performance by reflecting and absorbing the light multiple times inside the cavity. To inhibit the rapid recombination of photogenerated e--h+ pairs within BWO itself, black phosphorous quantum dots (BPQDs) were anchored onto the nanosheets of BWO sphere closely by a facile self-assembly process, which will not shade the pores of BWO owing to the small size of BPQDs, but the BP nanosheets have the chance to do that. The band gap of BPQDs expanded much after exfoliation due to the quantum confinement effects, which matched the energy band of BWO well to form S-scheme heterojunction, achieving more efficient separation of photogenerated charges. As a result, the BPQDs/BWO exhibited attractive photocatalytic performance in the degradation of amoxicillin (AMX) and other antibiotics. Besides, the operation conditions were optimized, specifically, 94.5 % of AMX (20 mg/L, 200 mL) can be removed in 60 min when 50 mg of 2BPQDs/BWO was used as catalyst with solution pH = 11. Moreover, a possible degradation pathway of AMX was proposed based on the detected intermediates.

Chromosomal analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) have been routinely used in detecting recurrent chromosomal abnormalities in patients with various hematological malignancies. However, the genomic imbalances underlying many recurrent abnormalities could not be delineated due to the low resolution of chromosome analysis. We have performed oligonucleotide-array comparative genomic hybridization (oaCGH) in an AML case with a 15p/17p translocation, a suspected 9p21 deletion, monosomies of chromosomes X and 9, and 2 to 60 double minutes. The oaCGH findings confirmed the chromosomal observations and further characterized a 21.338-Mb 17p deletion, a 3.916-Mb deletion at 9p21.3 containing the MTAP, CDKN2A, CDKN2B, and ELAVL2 genes, and a 3.981-Mb 8q24 double minute containing the TRIB1, FAM84B, MYC, and PVT1 genes, with an average of 30 double minutes in each cell. FISH using MYC probes and bacterial artificial chromosome clone probes confirmed the genomic findings and revealed a progressional pattern for the 9p21.3 deletion. These results demonstrate the potential of oaCGH as a powerful diagnostic tool for characterizing genomic imbalances for patients with hematological malignancies.
