RESUMEN
The development of ultraviolet circularly polarized light (UVCPL) sources has the potential to benefit plenty of practical applications but remains a challenge due to limitations in available material systems and a limited understanding of the excited state chirality transfer. Herein, by constructing hybrid structures of the chiral perovskite CsPbBr3 nanoplatelets and organic molecules, excited state chirality transfer is achieved, either via direct binding or triplet energy transfer, leading to efficient UVCPL emission. The underlying photophysical mechanisms of these two scenarios are clarified by comprehensive optical studies. Intriguingly, UVCPL realized via the triple energy transfer, followed by the triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion processes, demonstrates a 50-fold enhanced dissymmetry factor glum. Furthermore, stereoselective photopolymerization of diacetylene monomer is demonstrated by using such efficient UVCPL. This study provides both novel insights and a practical approach for realizing UVCPL, which can also be extended to other material systems and spectral regions, such as visible and near-infrared.
RESUMEN
ABSTRACT: Several meta-analyses have investigated the effects of different doses of colchicine in treating coronary artery disease, but all dosing regimens were never compared in a single study. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of 3 dosing regimens of colchicine in patients with coronary artery disease. PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and SCOPUS were searched for randomized controlled trials involving different colchicine doses. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE), all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, recurrent myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, gastrointestinal adverse events (AEs), discontinuation, and hospitalization were evaluated using risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). A total of 15 randomized controlled trial involving 13,539 patients were included. Pooled results calculated with STATA 14.0 showed that low-dose colchicine significantly reduced MACE (RR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.32-0.83), recurrent MI (RR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.35-0.89), stroke (RR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.23-1.00), and hospitalization (RR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.22-0.85), whereas high and loading doses significantly increased gastrointestinal AEs (RR, 2.84; 95% CI, 1.26-6.24) and discontinuation (RR, 2.73; 95% CI, 1.07-6.93), respectively. Sensitivity analyses confirmed that 3 dosing regimens did not reduce all-cause and cardiovascular mortality but significantly increased the gastrointestinal AEs, and high dose significantly increased AEs-related discontinuation; loading dose resulted in more discontinuation than low dose. Although differences between 3 dosing regimens of colchicine are not significant, low dose is more effective in reducing MACE, recurrent MI, stroke, and hospitalization than the control, whereas high and loading doses increase gastrointestinal AEs and discontinuation, respectively.

Carbon dot (CD) based long-lived afterglow emission materials have attracted attention in recent years, but demonstration of white-light room-temperature afterglow remains challenging, due to the difficulty of simultaneous generation of multiple long-lived excited states with distinct chromatic emission. In this work, a white-light room-temperature long-lived afterglow emission from a CD powder with a high efficiency of 5.8% and Commission International de l'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.396, 0.409) is realized. The afterglow of the CDs originates from a synergy between the phosphorescence of the carbon core and the delayed fluorescence associated with the surface CN moieties, which is accomplished by matching the singlet state of the surface groups of the CDs with the long-lived triplet state of the carbon core, resulting in an efficient energy transfer. It is demonstrated how the long-lived afterglow emission of CDs can be utilized for fabrication of white light emitting devices and in anticounterfeiting applications.

Metal halide perovskites are highly attractive for lighting applications, but the multiexcitonic emission processes in these crystals are largely unexplored. This study presents an investigation of Sb3+-doped Cs2ZrCl6 perovskite crystals that display double luminescence due to the intrinsic host self-trapped excitons (denoted as host STEs) and dopant-induced extrinsic self-trapped excitons (denoted as dopant STEs), respectively. Steady-state and transient-state spectroscopy reveal that the host and dopant STEs can be independently charged at specific energies. Density functional theory calculations confirm that the multiexcitonic emission stems from minimal interactions between the host and dopant STEs in the zero-dimensional crystal lattice. By selective excitation of different STEs through precise control of excitation wavelength, we further demonstrate dynamic color tuning in the Cs2ZrCl6:Sb3+ crystals. The color kinetic feature offers exciting opportunities for constructing multicolor light-emitting devices and encrypting multilevel optical codes.
RESUMEN
Lead halide perovskites are excellent candidates for photoelectronic and photovoltaic applications, but the toxicity from lead is extremely concerning. Recently, Sn-based zero-dimensional lead-free perovskites synthesized using solid-state reaction techniques have become a new focus in the field. Here, we report a simple room temperature antisolvent method for the synthesis of all inorganic lead-free green emissive Cs4SnBr6 (emission at 524 nm) and cyan emissive Cs3KSnBr6 (emission at 500 nm) zero-dimensional perovskites. Their photoluminescence quantum yields reach 20% and 35%, respectively. In addition, they maintain their emission for 46 and 55 h in the air, respectively, compared to only 5 min of CsSnBr3. This method provides a convenient way to do the research and apply these highly emissive perovskites.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the regulatory effects of acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) on atherosclerosis in Wister rats and to explore its anti-atherosclerotic mechanism. MATERIAL AND METHODS We randomly divided 32 Wister rats into 4 groups: a normal diet group (control group, n=8), a normal diet+ALCAR group (ALCAR group, n=8), an atherosclerosis group (AS group, n=8), and an atherosclerosis+ALCAR group (AS+ALCAR group, n=8). The serum lipid distribution, oxidative stress, inflammatory factors and adiponectin (APN) in the blood, and heart and aortic tissues were determined using the standard assay kits, xanthine oxidase method, and ELISA, respectively. HE staining was performed to observe aortic pathology structure change, and the level of angiotensin II (AngII) in the aorta was assessed using radioimmunoassay. In addition, real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot analysis were applied to detect the expression of iNOS, IL-1ß, TNF-alpha, and CRP in the aortic and heart tissues. RESULTS Compared with the AS group, the levels of serum TC, TG, LDL, and VLDL in rats decreased significantly, while HDL level significantly increased in the AS+ALCAR group. ALCAR administration enhanced the SOD and GSH-Px activities and decreased MDA activity. APN level was significantly elevated in the AS group, but ALCAR had no significant effect on APN. Further, ALCAR reduced the expressions of inflammation factors TNF-alpha, IL-1ß, iNOS, and CRP, and the concentration of AngII in serum, aortic, and heart tissues. CONCLUSIONS ALCAR can inhibit the expressions of inflammatory factors and antioxidation to suppress the development of atherosclerosis by adjusting blood lipid in the myocardium of AS rats.

All-inorganic cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have demonstrated excellent optical properties and an encouraging potential for optoelectronic applications; however, mixed-halide perovskites, especially CsPb(Cl/Br)3 NCs, still show lower photoluminescence quantum yields (PL QY) than the corresponding single-halide materials. Herein, anhydrous oxalic acid is used to post-treat CsPb(Cl/Br)3 NCs in order to initially remove surface defects and halide vacancies, and thus, to improve their PL QY from 11% to 89% for the emission of 451 nm. Furthermore, due to the continuous chelating reaction with the oxalate ion, chloride anions from the mixed-halide CsPb(Cl/Br)3 perovskite NCs could be extracted, and green emitting CsPbBr3 NCs with PL QY of 85% at 511 nm emission are obtained. Besides being useful to improve the emission of CsPb(Cl/Br)3 NCs, the oxalic acid treatment strategy introduced here provides a further tool to adjust the distribution of halide anions in mixed-halide perovskites without using any halide additives.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND Plumbagin is a potent antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic action. Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury results in organ damage through oxidative stress and inflammatory mechanisms. In this study, we analyzed the potential role of plumbagin against myocardial I/R injury in Wistar rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS Oxidative stress was measured through ROS, lipid peroxide content, and antioxidant enzyme activities. The expression of redox signaling and inflammatory proteins was analyzed through Western blotting. Inflammatory cytokine expressions were determined through ELISA. RESULTS Oxidative stress status was reduced by plumbagin by decreasing ROS and lipid peroxide levels in rats with myocardial I/R (MI/R) injury. Plumbagin regulated redox imbalance induced by I/R injury by modulating the transcription factors NF-κB and Nrf-2. Further, downstream targets of NF-κB (COX-2, iNOS) and Nrf-2 (HO-1, NQO1 and GST) expression were significantly downregulated by plumbagin treatment. Pro-inflammatory cytokine expressions were significantly abrogated by plumbagin treatment. CONCLUSIONS This study shows the protective role of plumbagin against myocardial I/R injury by regulating antioxidant and inflammatory mechanisms.

Background: The prevalence of cardiovascular metabolic comorbidities (CMM) among adults is relatively high, imposing a heavy burden on individuals, families, and society. Dietary patterns play a significant role in the occurrence and development of CMM. This study aimed to identify the combined types of CMM in adult populations and investigate the impact of dietary patterns on CMM. Methods: Participants in this study were from the sixth wave of the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS). Dietary intake was assessed using a three-day 24-hour dietary recall method among 4,963 participants. Latent profile analysis was used to determine dietary pattern types. Two-step cluster analysis was performed to identify the combined types of CMM based on the participants' conditions of hyperuricemia, dyslipidemia, diabetes, renal dysfunction, hypertension, and stroke. Logistic regression analysis with robust standard errors was used to determine the impact of dietary patterns on CMM. Results: Participants were clustered into three dietary patterns (Pattern 1 to 3) and five CMM types (Class I to V). Class I combined six diseases, with a low proportion of diabetes. Class II also combined six diseases but with a high proportion of diabetes. Class III combined four diseases, with a high proportion of hypertension. Class IV combined three diseases, with the highest proportions of hyperuricemia, diabetes, and renal dysfunction. Class V combined two diseases, with high proportions of dyslipidemia and renal dysfunction. Patients with Class III CMM had a significantly higher average age than the other four classes (P ≤ 0.05). Compared to those with isolated dyslipidemia, individuals with a low-grain, high-fruit, milk, and egg (LCHFM) dietary pattern had a higher risk of developing dyslipidemia combined with renal dysfunction (Class V CMM) with an odds ratio of 2.001 (95% CI 1.011-3.960, P≤ 0.05). Conclusion: For individuals with isolated dyslipidemia, avoiding a low-grain, high-fruit, milk, and egg (LCHFM) dietary pattern may help reduce the risk of developing dyslipidemia combined with renal dysfunction (Class V CMM).
RESUMEN
Aqueous Zn-I flow batteries utilizing low-cost porous membranes are promising candidates for high-power-density large-scale energy storage. However, capacity loss and low Coulombic efficiency resulting from polyiodide cross-over hinder the grid-level battery performance. Here, we develop colloidal chemistry for iodine-starch catholytes, endowing enlarged-sized active materials by strong chemisorption-induced colloidal aggregation. The size-sieving effect effectively suppresses polyiodide cross-over, enabling the utilization of porous membranes with high ionic conductivity. The developed flow battery achieves a high-power density of 42 mW cm-2 at 37.5 mA cm-2 with a Coulombic efficiency of over 98% and prolonged cycling for 200 cycles at 32.4 Ah L-1posolyte (50% state of charge), even at 50 °C. Furthermore, the scaled-up flow battery module integrating with photovoltaic packs demonstrates practical renewable energy storage capabilities. Cost analysis reveals a 14.3 times reduction in the installed cost due to the applicability of cheap porous membranes, indicating its potential competitiveness for grid energy storage.
RESUMEN
Although conversion-type iodine-based batteries are considered promising for energy storage systems, stable electrode materials are scarce, especially for high-performance multi-electron reactions. The use of tin-based iodine-rich 2D Dion-Jacobson (DJ) ODASnI4 (ODA: 1,8-octanediamine) perovskite materials as cathode materials for iodine-based batteries is suggested. As a proof of concept, organic lithium-perovskite and aqueous zinc-perovskite batteries are fabricated and they can be operated based on the conventional one-electron and advanced two-electron transfer modes. The active elemental iodine in the perovskite cathode provides capacity through a reversible I- /I+ redox pair conversion at full depth, and the rapid electron injection/extraction leads to excellent reaction kinetics. Consequently, high discharge plateaus (1.71 V vs Zn2+ /Zn; 3.41 V vs Li+ /Li), large capacity (421 mAh g-1 I ), and a low decay rate (1.74 mV mAh-1 g-1 I ) are achieved for lithium and zinc ion batteries, respectively. This study demonstrates the promising potential of perovskite materials for high-performance metal-iodine batteries. Their reactions based on the two-electron transfer mechanism shed light on similar battery systems aiming for decent operational stability and high energy density.
RESUMEN
With the increasing need for reliable storage systems, the conversion-type chemistry typified by bromine cathodes attracts considerable attention due to sizeable theoretical capacity, cost efficiency, and high redox potential. However, the severe loss of active species during operation remains a problem, leading researchers to resort to concentrated halide-containing electrolytes. Here, profiting from the intrinsic halide exchange in perovskite lattices, a novel low-dimensional halide hybrid perovskite cathode, TmdpPb2[IBr]6, which serves not only as a halogen reservoir for reversible three-electron conversions but also as an effective halogen absorbent by surface Pb dangling bonds, CâH Br hydrogen bonds, and PbâI Br halogen bonds, is proposed. As such, the Zn||TmdpPb2[IBr]6 battery delivers three remarkable discharge voltage plateaus at 1.21 V (I0/I-), 1.47 V (I+/I0), and 1.74 V (Br0/Br-) in a typical halide-free electrolyte; meanwhile, realizing a high capacity of over 336 mAh g-1 at 0.4 A g-1 and high capacity retentions of 88% and 92% after 1000 cycles at 1.2 A g-1 and 4000 cycles at 3.2 A g-1, respectively, accompanied by a high coulombic efficiency of ≈99%. The work highlights the promising conversion-type cathodes based on metal-halide perovskite materials.
RESUMEN
Residual solvents in vinylidene fluoride (VDF)-based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have been recognized as responsible for their high ionic conductivity. However, side reactions by the residual solvents with the lithium (Li) metal induce poor stability, which has been long neglected. This study proposes a strategy to achieve a delicate equilibrium between ion conduction and electrode stability for VDF-based SPEs. Specifically, 2,2,2-trifluoro-N,N-dimethylacetamide (FDMA) is developed as the nonside reaction solvent for poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVHF)-based SPEs, achieving both high ionic conductivity and significantly improved electrochemical stability. The developed FDMA solvent fosters the formation of a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) through interface reactions with Li metal, effectively mitigating side reactions and dendrite growth on the Li metal electrode. Consequently, the Li||Li symmetric cells and Li||LiFePO4 cells demonstrate excellent cycling performance, even under limited Li (20 µm thick) supply and high-loading cathodes (>10 mg cm-2, capacity >1 mAh cm-2) conditions. The stable Li||LiCoO2 cells operation with a cutoff voltage of 4.48 V indicates the high-voltage stability of the developed SPE. This study offers valuable insights into the development of advanced VDF-based SPEs for enhanced lithium metal battery performance and longevity.
RESUMEN
Zinc metal is recognized as the most promising anode for aqueous energy storage but suffers from severe dendrite growth and poor reversibility. However, the coulombic efficiency lacks specificity for zinc dendrite growth, particularly in Zn||Zn symmetric cells. Herein, a novel indicator (fD) based on the characteristic crystallization peaks is proposed to evaluate the growth and distribution of zinc dendrites. As a proof of concept, triethylenetetramine (TETA) is adopted as an electrolyte additive to manipulate the zinc flux for uniform deposition, with a corroborating low fD value. A highly durable zinc symmetric cell is achieved, lasting over 2500 h at 10 mA cm-2 and 400 h at a large discharge of depth (10 mA cm-2, 10 mAh cm-2). Supported by the low fD value, the Zn||TETA-ZnSO4||MnO2 batteries overcome the sudden short circuit and fast capacity fading. The study provides a feasible method to evaluate zinc dendrites and sheds light on the design of highly reversible zinc anodes.
RESUMEN
Dual-atom catalytic sites on conductive substrates offer a promising opportunity for accelerating the kinetics of multistep hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER, respectively). Using MXenes as substrates is a promising strategy for depositing those dual-atom electrocatalysts, if the efficient surface anchoring strategy ensuring metal-substrate interactions and sufficient mass loading is established. We introduce a surface-modification strategy of MXene substrates by preadsorbing L-tryptophan molecules, which enabled attachment of dual-atom Co/Ni electrocatalyst at the surface of Ti3C2Tx by forming N-Co/Ni-O bonds, with mass loading reaching as high as 5.6 wt %. The electron delocalization resulting from terminated O atoms on MXene substrates, N atoms in L-tryptophan anchoring moieties, and catalytic metal atoms Co and Ni provides an optimal adsorption strength of intermediates and boosts the HER and OER kinetics, thereby notably promoting the intrinsic activity of the electrocatalyst. CoNi-Ti3C2Tx electrocatalyst displayed HER and OER overpotentials of 31 and 241 mV at 10 mA cm-2, respectively. Importantly, the CoNi-Ti3C2Tx electrocatalyst also exhibited high operational stability for both OER and HER over 100 h at an industrially relevant current density of 500 mA cm-2. Our study provided guidance for constructing dual-atom active metal sites on MXene substrates to synergistically enhance the electrochemical efficiency and stability of the energy conversion and storage systems.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Livable environment and ways, as the necessary conditions for the elderly to enjoy their old age, have a significant impact on their mental health and happiness. It's crucial to understand how living arrangements affect depressive symptoms in China. Studies on how various leisure activities modify this association are yet limited. METHODS: This study relies on panel data derived from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), collected during waves spanning 2008/2009, 2011/2012, 2014, and 2018. The primary objective is to examine the relationship between living arrangements, leisure activities, and depressive symptoms of elderly individuals. Linear mixed-effects models were used to analyze the data. RESULTS: A total of 26,342 observations aged 65 and over were included in this paper. Older adults living alone (ß = 0.66, 95 % CI: 0.55, 0.76) or living in institutions (ß = 0.69, 95 % CI: 0.40, 0.98) had more depressive symptoms than those living with family. Leisure activities were negatively associated with depressive symptoms (ß = -0.16, 95 % CI: -0.18, -0.15). Moreover, there was significant interactions between living arrangements and leisure activities. No matter which kind of living arrangements, participating in physical, productive or social activity was associated with a lower risk of depressive symptoms. LIMITATIONS: Study design might introduce bias, and it cannot establish causality between the tested variables. CONCLUSIONS: Older adults living alone or in institutions have more possibility to develop depressive symptoms than those living with family, and such a relationship among Chinese older adults can be moderated by participating in leisure activities.

Visible-infrared object detection aims to improve the detector performance by fusing the complementarity of visible and infrared images. However, most existing methods only use local intramodality information to enhance the feature representation while ignoring the efficient latent interaction of long-range dependence between different modalities, which leads to unsatisfactory detection performance under complex scenes. To solve these problems, we propose a feature-enhanced long-range attention fusion network (LRAF-Net), which improves detection performance by fusing the long-range dependence of the enhanced visible and infrared features. First, a two-stream CSPDarknet53 network is used to extract the deep features from visible and infrared images, in which a novel data augmentation (DA) method is designed to reduce the bias toward a single modality through asymmetric complementary masks. Then, we propose a cross-feature enhancement (CFE) module to improve the intramodality feature representation by exploiting the discrepancy between visible and infrared images. Next, we propose a long-range dependence fusion (LDF) module to fuse the enhanced features by associating the positional encoding of multimodality features. Finally, the fused features are fed into a detection head to obtain the final detection results. Experiments on several public datasets, i.e., VEDAI, FLIR, and LLVIP, show that the proposed method obtains state-of-the-art performance compared with other methods.
RESUMEN
Background: Since few studies have incorporated factors like stressors, coping styles, and academic burnout into the same model to analyze their impacts on depressive symptoms, this research attempts to establish an optimal structural model to explore the direct and indirect effects of these factors on depressive symptoms. Methods: A total of 266 postgraduates completed questionnaires regarding coping styles, academic burnout, stressors, and depressive symptoms. The path analysis was applied for investigating the roles of coping styles and academic burnout in mediating the relationship between stressors and depressive symptoms. Results: The total and direct effects of stressors on depressive symptoms were 0.53 and 0.31, respectively. The proportion of the direct effect of stressors on depressive symptoms to its total effect amounted to 58.50%. The indirect effects of academic burnout, positive coping style, and negative coping style on the association between stressors and depressive symptoms were 0.11, 0.04, and 0.03, taking up 20.75%, 7.55%, and 5.66% of the total effect, respectively. The serial indirect effect of positive coping style and academic burnout was 0.02, accounting for 3.77% of the total effect, while that of negative coping style and academic burnout was 0.02, taking up 3.77% of the total effect. Conclusions: Coping styles and academic burnout chain jointly mediate the relationship between stressors and depressive symptoms among postgraduates. Thus, encouraging postgraduates to tackle stress positively may reduce the likelihood of the development of academic burnout and further reduce depressive symptoms.

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to verify the moderating roles of lifestyle factors and age between body mass index (BMI), BMI trajectory and depressive symptoms of Chinese adults through a prospective design. METHODS: The participants who are 18 years old and above from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) were included in the 2016 baseline and 2018 follow-up research. BMI was calculated according to self-report weight (kilogram) and height (centimeter). Depressive symptoms were evaluated via the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CESD-20) scale. Inverse probability-of-censoring weighted estimation (IPCW) was used to check whether selection bias existed. Modified Poisson regression was performed to calculate prevalence and risk ratios as well as 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS: After adjustment, it was found that the positive associations of persistent underweight (RR = 1.154, P < 0.001) and normal weight â underweight (RR = 1.143, P < 0.001) with 2018 depressive symptoms were significant among middle-aged people, while the negative association of persistent overweight/obesity (RR = 0.972, P < 0.001) was significant in young adults. Notably, smoking moderated the relationship between baseline BMI and subsequent depressive symptoms (interaction P = 0.028). Also, exercise regularly and exercise duration weekly moderated the relationships of baseline BMI (interaction P = 0.004 and 0.015) and trajectories of BMI (interaction P = 0.008 and 0.011) with depressive symptoms among Chinese adults, respectively. CONCLUSION: Weight management strategies for underweight and normal weight â underweight adults should pay attention to the role of exercise in maintaining normal weight and improving depressive symptoms.

All-inorganic cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr3) nanocrystals are one of the prominent members of the metal halide perovskite family of semiconductor materials, which possess considerable stability and excellent optoelectronic properties leading to a multitude of their potential applications in solar cells, light-emitting devices, photodetectors, and lasers. Hot-injection strategy is a popular method used to synthesize CsPbBr3 nanocrystals, which provides a convenient route to produce them in the shape of rather monodisperse nanocubes. As in any synthetic procedure, there are different factors like temperature, surface ligands, precursor concentration, as well as necessary postpreparation purification steps. Herein, we provide a comprehensive hot-injection synthesis protocol for CsPbBr3 nanocrystals, outlining intrinsic and extrinsic factors that affect its reproducibility and elucidating in detail the precursor solution preparation, nanocrystal formation and growth, and postpreparative purification and storage conditions to allow for the fabrication of high-quality green-emitting material.
