RESUMO
In the emerging two-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites, the electronic structures and carrier behaviors are strongly impacted by intrinsic electron-phonon interactions, which have received inadequate attention. In this study, we report an intriguing phenomenon of negative carrier diffusion induced by electron-phonon coupling in (2T)2PbI4. Theoretical calculations reveal that the electron-phonon coupling drives the band alignment in (2T)2PbI4 to alternate between type I and type II heterostructures. As a consequence, photoexcited holes undergo transitions between the organic ligands and inorganic layers, resulting in abnormal carrier transport behavior compared to other two-dimensional hybrid perovskites. These findings provide valuable insights into the role of electron-phonon coupling in shaping the band alignments and carrier behaviors in two-dimensional hybrid perovskites. They also open up exciting avenues for designing and fabricating functional semiconductor heterostructures with tailored properties.
RESUMO
Pleiotropy is frequently detected in agronomic traits of wheat (Triticum aestivum). A locus on chromosome 4B, QTn/Ptn/Sl/Sns/Al/Tgw/Gl/Gw.caas-4B, proved to show pleiotropic effects on tiller, spike, and grain traits using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population of Qingxinmai × 041133. The allele from Qingxinmai increased tiller numbers, and the allele from line 041133 produced better performances of spike traits and grain traits. Another 52 QTL for the eight traits investigated were detected on 18 chromosomes, except for chromosomes 5D, 6D, and 7B. Several genes in the genomic interval of the locus on chromosome 4B were differentially expressed in crown and inflorescence samples between Qingxinmai and line 041133. The development of the KASP marker specific for the locus on chromosome 4B is useful for molecular marker-assisted selection in wheat breeding.

To manufacture flexible batteries, it can be a challenge for silicon base anode materials to maintain structural integrity and electrical connectivity under bending and torsion conditions. In this work, 1D silicon nanowire array structures combined with flexible carbon chains consisting of short carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and long carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are proposed. The CNFs and CNTs serve as chain joints and separate chain units, respectively, weaving the well-ordered Si nanowire array into a robust and integrated configuration. The prepared flexible and stretchable silicon array anode exhibits excellent electrochemical performance during dynamic operation. A high initial specific capacity of 2856 mAh g-1 is achieved. After 1000 cycles, a capacity retention of 60% (1602 mAh g-1) is maintained. Additionally, the capacity attenuation is less than 1% after 100 bending cycles. This excellent cycling stability is obtained with a high Si loading of 6.92 mg cm-2. This novel approach offers great promise for the development of high-loading flexible energy-storage devices.
RESUMO
Finding efficient and stable electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is imperative for advancing zinc-air batteries. Herein, the effect of transition metal anchored on Nb2CO2 with different N content to form TM-Nx-Nb2CO2 on the catalytic activity of ORR and OER is investigated by density functional theory. Among all the designed TM-Nx-Nb2CO2, Pt-N12.50%-Nb2CO2, Pt-N37.50%-Nb2CO2, Pt-N50.00%-Nb2CO2, Pd-N68.75%-Nb2CO2, and Pd-N100%-Nb2CO2 are excellent ORR electrocatalysts with ηORR values of 0.38, 0.36, 0.38, 0.38, and 0.34 V, respectively. Rh-Nb2CO2, Rh-N12.50%-Nb2CO2, Rh-N31.25%-Nb2CO2, Rh-N37.50%-Nb2CO2, Rh-N50.00%-Nb2CO2, Pt-N50.00%-Nb2CO2, Rh-N68.75%-Nb2CO2, and Rh-N81.25%-Nb2CO2 are excellent OER electrocatalysts with ηOER values of 0.33, 0.37, 0.34, 0.36, 0.37, 0.34, 0.38, and 0.33 V, respectively. Notably, Rh-Nb2CO2 and Pt-N50.00%-Nb2CO2 exhibit outstanding ORR and OER bifunctional catalytic activity with potential gap values of 0.80 and 0.72 V, respectively, which are higher than the activities of most reported bifunctional catalysts. Furthermore, electronic structure analysis indicates that the moderate adsorption strength of oxygen-containing intermediates on active centers is crucial for achieving highly active bifunctional catalysts for ORR and OER. This study provides a strategy for the design of novel ORR and OER catalysts using 2D MXene materials.
RESUMO
Physical hydrogels of natural polysaccharides are considered as ideal candidates for wound dressing due to their natural biological activity and no harmful cross-linking agents. However, it remains a challenge to fabricate such hydrogel dressings in a facile and low-cost way. Herein, we reported an easy and cost-effective method to construct CO2-mediated alkali-neutralization Curdlan (CR) hydrogels without using an external cross-linking agent. Two types of hydrogels (denoted as CR-NaOH and CR-Na3PO4, respectively) were fabricated by dissolving CR powders in a NaOH or Na3PO4 aqueous solution, followed by keeping the CR alkaline solutions in air. The obtained pure CR hydrogels possessed a tunable porous structure with walls containing different forms of nanofibrils. These hydrogels exhibited much higher gel strength by comparison with the gels prepared by conventional heating treatment. They were flexible, stretchable, twistable, and conformable to arbitrarily curved skins. Moreover, they exhibited ideal swellability, proper degradability, and water vapor transmission rate, and their physicochemical properties were closely related to CR concentration in the alkaline solution. These two hydrogels also supported the growth of L929 cells. Importantly, studies on wound healing revealed that both 3CR-NaOH and 3CR-Na3PO4 hydrogels were capable of accelerating the wound healing process through recruiting more macrophages/fibroblasts, inducing more collagen deposition and neovascularization (α-SMA and CD31) without carrying any exogenous bioactive components. In conclusion, the present work not only reported promising materials for application in wound therapy but also offered a facile and safe manufacturing procedure for generating pure CR physical hydrogels with better performance.

Pyroptosis is a key inflammatory form of cell death participating in the progression of many inflammatory diseases, such as experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and sepsis. Identification of small molecules to inhibit pyroptosis is emerging as an attractive strategy. In this study, we performed a screening based on in silico docking of compounds on the reported Gasdermin D (GSDMD) three-dimensional structure and found C202-2729 demonstrated strong anti-inflammatory effects in both endotoxin shock and EAE mouse models. Oral administration of C202-2729 was capable of attenuating EAE disease severity significantly and has the comparable effects to teriflunomide, the first-line clinical drug of multiple sclerosis. We found C202-2729 remarkably suppressed macrophage and T cell-associated immune inflammation. Mechanistically, C202-2729 neither impact GSDMD cleavage nor the upstream inflammasome activation in mouse immortalized bone marrow-derived macrophages. However, C202-2729 exposure significantly repressed the IL-1ß secretion and cell pyroptosis. We found C202-2729 directly bonds to the N terminus of GSDMD and blocks the migration of the N-terminal GSDMD fragment to cell membrane, restraining the pore-forming and mature IL-1ß release. Collectively, our findings provide a new molecule with the potential for translational application in GSDMD-associated inflammatory diseases.

Recently, Guha and co-workers (Sarmah, K.; Kalita, A.; Purkayastha, S.; Guha, A. K. Pushing The Extreme of Multicentre Bonding: Planar Pentacoordinate Hydride. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2024, e202318741) reported a highly intriguing bonding motif: planar pentacoordinate hydrogen (ppH) in Li5H6-, featuring C2v symmetry in the singlet state with two distinct H-Li (center-ring) bond distances. We herein revisited the potential energy surface of Li5H6- by using a target-oriented genetic algorithm. Our investigation revealed that the lowest-energy structure of Li5H6- exhibits a ppH configuration with very high D5h symmetry and a 1A1' electronic state. We did not find any electronic effect like Jahn-Teller distortion that could be responsible for lowering its symmetry. Moreover, our calculations demonstrated significant differences in the relative energies of other low-lying isomers. An energetically very competitive planar tetracoordinate hydrogen (ptH) isomer is also located, but it corresponds to a very shallow minimum on the potential energy surface depending on the used level of theory. Chemical bonding analyses, including AdNDP and EDA-NOCV, uncover that the optimal Lewis structure for Li5H6- involves H- ions stabilized by the Li5H5 crown. Surprisingly, despite the dominance of electrostatic interactions, the contribution from covalent bonding is also significant between ppH and the Li5H5 moiety, derived from H-(1s) â Li5H5 σ donation. Magnetically induced current density analysis revealed that due to minimal orbital overlap and the highly polar nature of the H-Li covalent interaction, the ppH exhibits local diatropic ring currents around the H centers, which fails to result in a global aromatic ring current. The coordination of Li5H6- with Lewis acids, BH3 and BMe3, instantly converts the ppH configuration to (quasi) ptH. These Lewis acid-bound ptH complexes show high electronic stability and high thermochemical stability against dissociation and, therefore, will be ideal candidates for the experimental realization.
RESUMO
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are characterized by dysregulated signaling pathways that are crucial for tumor formation and progression. The efficacy of traditional therapies is limited, particularly in the treatment of PNETs at an advanced stage. Epigenetic alterations profoundly impact the activity of signaling pathways in cancer development, offering potential opportunities for drug development. There is currently a lack of extensive research on epigenetic regulation in PNETs. To fill this gap, we first summarize major signaling events that are involved in PNET development. Then, we discuss the epigenetic regulation of these signaling pathways in the context of both PNETs and commonly occurring-and therefore more extensively studied-malignancies. Finally, we will offer a perspective on the future research direction of the PNET epigenome and its potential applications in patient care.

Nanofiltration (NF) has been proven to be with great potential for the separation of morpholines with molecular weight less than 200 Da in refining reverse osmosis concentrate (ROC), but its application is significantly restricted by the membrane fouling, which can reduce the rejection and service time. To enable the long-term operation stability of nanofiltration, this work focuses on the fouling behavior of each substance in the hydrosaline organic solution on nanofiltration membrane, aiming to give insight into the fouling mechanism. To this end, in this work, the effects of salts (i.e NaCl and Na2SO4), organic substances (including N-(2-hydroxypropyl)morpholine(NMH) and 4-morpholineacetate(MHA)) and representative divalent ions (Ca2+ and Mg2+) on the performance and physicochemical properties of DK membrane were systematically investigated. The results show that both salts and organics can induce DK membrane swelling, leading to an increase of the mean effective pore size. After the filtration of Na2SO4-NaCl-H2O, the mean pore size increased by 0.002 nm, resulting in the decrease of the removal ratio of NMH and MHA for 3.82% and 13.10%, respectively. With static adsorption of NMH and MHA, the mean pore size of DK membrane increased by 0.005 and 0.003 nm. The swelling slowed the entrance of more organic molecules into membrane pores. Among them, MHA led to the terrible irreversible pore blocking. As the concentration of Ca2+ increased, gypsum scaling was formed on the membrane surface. During this process, NMH and MHA played different roles, i.e. NMH accelerated the CaSO4 crystallization while MHA inhibited. As a conclusion, the fouling behavior of substances in the high saline organic wastewater on DK membrane were systematically revealed with the fouling mechanisms proposed, which could provide an insightful guidance for membrane fouling control and cleaning in the treatment of high salinity and organic wastewater.

Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is an economically important horticultural crop. Spotted rind at maturity is an important appearance quality trait in melons. However, the gene controlling this trait remains unknown. In this study, the inheritance pattern of this trait was explored, and the candidate gene underlying this trait was also successfully identified. Genetic analysis showed that a single dominant gene, Cucumis melo Spotted Rind (CmSR), regulates the spotted rind trait. A preliminary genetic mapping analysis was conducted based on a BSA-seq approach. The CmAPRR2 gene was identified to be linked with the spotted rind trait and was located on the short arm of chromosome 4. It harbored two single-nucleotide mutations (chr4: 687014 G/A and chr4: 687244 C/A) in the non-spotted line 'Yellow 2', which may result in the alternative splicing of the transcript and an amino acid change in the respective protein, from proline to glutamine, respectively. Moreover, marker SNP687014-G/A was developed and co-segregated with the spotted rind trait. Therefore, it is speculated that the CmAPRR2 gene may be involved in the regulation of the spotted rind trait in melon. This study provides a theoretical foundation for further research on the gene regulatory mechanism of the rind color in melon.
RESUMO
The frequency recognition algorithm for multiple exposures (FRAME) is a progressive single-shot high-speed videography technique that employs the spatial-frequency multiplexing concept to provide high temporal and spatial resolution. However, the inherent crosstalk from the zero-frequency component to the carrier-frequency component leads to resolution degradation and artifacts. To improve recovered frames' quality, we propose a FRAME reconstruction method using guided filters for a removal of the zero-frequency component, which can minimize the artifacts while enhance spatial resolution. A total variation (TV) denoising operation is involved to remove artifacts further to achieve optimized performances. Simulations and experiments were conducted to demonstrate the robust and efficient post-processing capability of the proposed method. With a two-frame experimental system, the results of a USAF 1951 resolution target reveal a 1.8-fold improvement in spatial resolution from 16 lp/mm to 28.5 lp/mm. For complex dynamic scenarios, the wide field of high-speed fuel spray was shot and the proposed method can resolve two droplets with a 30 µm distance which outperforms the traditional method.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the effect of the weighting of input imaging combo and ADC threshold on the performance of the U-Net and to find an optimized input imaging combo and ADC threshold in segmenting acute ischemic stroke (AIS) lesion. METHODS: This study retrospectively enrolled a total of 212 patients having AIS. Four combos, including ADC-ADC-ADC (AAA), DWI-ADC-ADC (DAA), DWI-DWI-ADC (DDA), and DWI-DWI-DWI (DDD), were used as input images, respectively. Three ADC thresholds including 0.6, 0.8 and 1.8 × 10-3 mm2/s were applied. Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) was used to evaluate the segmentation performance of U-Nets. Nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test with Tukey-Kramer post-hoc tests were used for comparison. A p < .05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: The DSC significantly varied among different combos of images and different ADC thresholds. Hybrid U-Nets outperformed uniform U-Nets at ADC thresholds of 0.6 × 10-3 mm2/s and 0.8 × 10-3 mm2/s (p < .001). The U-Net with imaging combo of DDD had segmentation performance similar to hybrid U-Nets at an ADC threshold of 1.8 × 10-3 mm2/s (p = .062 to 1). The U-Net using the imaging combo of DAA at the ADC threshold of 0.6 × 10-3 mm2/s achieved the highest DSC in the segmentation of AIS lesion. CONCLUSIONS: The segmentation performance of U-Net for AIS varies among the input imaging combos and ADC thresholds. The U-Net is optimized by choosing the imaging combo of DAA at an ADC threshold of 0.6 × 10-3 mm2/s in segmentating AIS lesion with highest DSC. KEY POINTS: ⢠Segmentation performance of U-Net for AIS differs among input imaging combos. ⢠Segmentation performance of U-Net for AIS differs among ADC thresholds. ⢠U-Net is optimized using DAA with ADC = 0.6 × 10-3 mm2/s.

Polyimide (PI) film with high thermal conductivity coefficient (λ) has long been held up as an ideal solution for heat dissipation. Based on the thermal conduction mechanisms and classical thermal conduction models, this review presents design ideas of PI films with microscopically ordered liquid crystalline structures which are of great significance for breaking the limit of λ enhancement and describes the construction principles of thermal conduction network in high-λ filler strengthened PI films. Furthermore, the effects of filler type, thermal conduction paths, and interfacial thermal resistances on thermally conductive behavior of PI film are systematically reviewed. Meanwhile, this paper summarizes the reported research and provides an outlook on the future development of thermally conductive PI films. Finally, it is expected that this review will give some guidance to future studies in thermally conductive PI film.

It is urgent to find efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts of oxygen reduction and evolution reactions to catalyze the oxygen electrode reaction of metal-air batteries. Herein, oxo transition metal anchored on C3N4 as bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst is investigated using density functional theory calculations. Various stability analysis results show that all catalysts in this study have excellent stability. In particular, for the two sites of the catalyst, the calculated results show that the effect of the ß site on the reaction species is generally stronger than that of the α site, while the catalytic activity of the α site is slightly better than that of ß site. In particular, the α site on Ni2@C3N4 has the lowest overpotential (ηORR = 0.44 V, ηOER = 0.51 V) and bifunctional index value (BI = 0.95 V). Finally, the linear relationships between eight activity descriptors and the adsorption strength of reaction intermediates are used to analyze the influencing factors of the effective activity of the catalyst. The results reflect that the activity descriptors can well describe the change in adsorption strength of intermediates on the catalyst. Thus, this work provides a good idea for designing excellent bifunctional catalysts for rechargeable metal-air batteries.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Lymphatic metastasis is commonly seen in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Both lymphatic metastasis and the number of involved nodes are prognostic for post-operative survival. To better understand lymphatic metastasis of ESCC, there is a need to develop proper animal models. AIMS: This study is aimed to characterize the morphology and function of the lymphatic drainage system in the mouse esophagus. METHODS: Immunostaining and fluorescence imaging were used to visualize the lymphatic drainage system in the mouse esophagus. Tracers and cancer cells were orthotopically inoculated into the submucosa of the mouse esophagus to mimic lymphatic metastasis of T1 ESCC. RESULTS: Using immunostaining of a lymphatic vessel marker (LYVE1), we found that lymphatic vessels were located in the submucosa and muscularis propria of the mouse esophagus, similar to the human esophagus. In the esophagus of ProxTom mice expressing tdTomato in the lymphatic vessels, we discovered a microscopic meshwork of lymphatic vessels. Functionally, orthotopically inoculated tracers (Indian ink and FITC-dextran) were drained from the submucosa into peri-esophageal lymph nodes via lymphatic vessels. Orthotopically inoculated mouse cancer cells (LLC-eGFP, MOC2) metastasized from the submucosa to lymphatic vessels, peri-esophageal lymph nodes, and distant organs (liver and lung) in immunocompetent mice. Similarly, in immunodeficient mice, orthotopically inoculated human ESCC cells (KYSE450-eGFP-Luc) metastasized via the same route. CONCLUSION: We have characterized the morphology and function of the lymphatic drainage system of the mouse esophagus. These observations lay a foundation for mechanistic and therapeutic studies on lymphatic metastasis of T1 ESCC.

The frequency recognition algorithm for multiple exposures (FRAME) is a spatial frequency multiplexing method that enables high-speed videography with high spatial resolution across a wide field of view and high temporal resolution up to femtoseconds. The criterion to design encoded illumination pulses is an essential factor that affects the sequence depth and reconstruction accuracy of FRAME but was not previously discussed. When the spatial frequency is exceeded, the fringes on digital imaging sensors can become distorted. To exploit the Fourier domain for FRAME with deep sequences and avoid fringe distortion, the maximum Fourier map for sequence arrangement was determined to be a diamond shape. The maximum axial frequency should be a quarter of the sampling frequency of digital imaging sensors. Based on this criterion, the performances of reconstructed frames were theoretically investigated by considering arrangement and filtering methods. To ensure optimal and uniform interframe quality, the frames near the zero frequency should be removed and optimized super-Gaussian filters should be employed. Experiments were conducted flexibly with a digital mirror device to generate illumination fringes. Following these suggestions, the movement of a water drip dropping on a water surface was captured with 20 and 38 frames with uniform interframe quality. The results prove the effectiveness of the proposed methods to improve the reconstruction accuracy and promote the development of FRAME with deep sequences.
RESUMO
This paper establishes a new theoretical paint removal model of plasma shock based on Fabbro's model and Newton's second law. A two-dimensional axisymmetric finite element model is established to calculate the theoretical model. By comparing the theoretical and experimental results, it is found that the theoretical model can accurately predict the threshold of laser paint removal. It is indicated that plasma shock is an essential mechanism in laser paint removal. The threshold for laser paint removal is approximately 1.73J/c m 2. The experiments show that, with the increase of the laser fluence, the effect of laser paint removal first increases and then decreases. With the increase of the laser fluence, the paint removal effect is improved due to the increase of the paint removal mechanism. The competition between the plastic fracture and pyrolysis leads to a reduction in paint effectiveness. In summary, this study can provide a theoretical reference for studying the paint removal mechanism of plasma shock.
RESUMO
In this paper, a theoretical model for laser cleaning of aluminium alloy oxide film is presented from the perspective of thermal stress. Additionally, we developed a two-dimensional axisymmetric finite element model for calculation. Thermal stresses result from thermal expansion. Using thermodynamic equations, numerical calculations enable the determination of a theoretical cleaning threshold by comparing the thermal stresses to the adhesion between the oxide film and the substrate. Through theory and experiments, it is known that the greater the laser fluence, the better is the cleaning effect. The findings indicate that cleaning of the oxide film on aluminum alloys can be achieved under appropriate parameters. The cleaning threshold for laser cleaning of the oxide film is determined to be 3629.47J/c m 2 (continuous laser fluence is 3628.73J/c m 2; nanosecond laser fluence is 0.74J/c m 2). The thermal stress model of laser cleaning is highly useful for selecting the appropriate laser flux in practical applications. Both a simulation and experimental results can provide an explanation for the mechanism of interaction between the laser and the aluminum alloy oxide film, demonstrating that thermal stress is one of the cleaning mechanisms during the laser cleaning process of the oxide film.
RESUMO
Winter wheat line Tianmin 668 was crossed with susceptible cultivar Jingshuang 16 to develop 216 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) for dissecting its adult-plant resistance (APR) and all-stage resistance (ASR) against powdery mildew. The RIL population was genotyped on a 16K genotyping by target sequencing single-nucleotide polymorphism array and phenotyped in six field trials and in the greenhouse. Three loci-QPmtj.caas-2BL, QPmtj.caas-2AS, and QPmtj.caas-5AL-conferring APR to powdery mildew were detected on chromosomes 2BL, 2AS, and 5AL, respectively, of Tianmin 668. The effect of resistance to powdery mildew for QPmtj.caas-2BL was greater than that of the other two loci. A Kompetitive allele-specific PCR marker specific for QPmtj.caas-2BL was developed and verified on 402 wheat cultivars or breeding lines. Results of virulence and avirulence patterns to 17 Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici isolates, bulked segregant analysis-RNA-sequencing, and a genetic linkage mapping identified a resistance allele at locus Pm4 in Tianmin 668 based on the seedling phenotypes of the RIL population. The PCR-based DNA sequence alignment and cosegregation of the functional marker with the phenotypes of the RIL population demonstrated that Pm4d was responsible for the ASR to isolate Bgt1 in Tianmin 668. The dissection of genetic loci for APR and ASR may facilitate the application of Tianmin 668 in developing powdery mildew-resistant wheat cultivars.

In this study, we designed a bilateral disulfurating reagent via S-S motif "snip and stitch" processes, allowing diverse functional groups to be bridged via S-S bonds. The reagent is readily synthesized in high yield using a one-step reaction from easily available starting materials and is air-stable. With this reagent, diverse electrophiles including inactivated alkyl Cl/Br/I/OMs and benzyl chloride were sequentially installed on either side of the S-S motif. Natural products, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals can be successively cross-linked with S-S bonds. Notably, the disulfurating reagent can be used in cyclic disulfide synthesis. At last, some desired products of this work showed good antibacterial activities, which could be employed as novel candidates to control plant pathogenic bacteria.
