Stimuli-Responsive Deep-Blue Organic Ultralong Phosphorescence with Lifetime over 5 s for Reversible Water-Jet Anti-Counterfeiting Printing.

Organic ultralong room temperature phosphorescence (OURTP) materials with photophysical properties sensitive to external stimulus are highly attractive for advanced applications. However, most OURTP molecules are in crystal and OURTP materials with good practicability and stimulus-responsive character are hard to be achieved. Here, we report, for the first time, the highly efficient, ultralong-lived and deep-blue OURTP materials by simply doping boron phosphor into cyanuric acid host. Host-guest OURTP composites with abundant and tunable H-bond network are highly stable in air with ultralong lifetime of 5.08 s at room temperature. They are sensitive to water, which can strength the H-bond network to significantly enhance OURTP quantum yield from 16.1 % to 37.6 %. Anti-counterfeiting paper was easily prepared for water-jet printing; the jet-printed high-resolution OURTP patterns can be easily erased by solvent fuming for another printing/erasing cycle with high reversibility.

Modulating Tri-Mode Emission for Single-Component White Organic Afterglow.

Achieving single-component white organic afterglow remains a great challenge owing to the difficulties in simultaneously supporting long-lived emissions from varied excited states of a molecule for complementary afterglow. Here, an extraordinary tri-mode emission from the radiative decays of singlet (S1 ), triplet (T1 ), and stabilized triplet (T1 * ) excited states was proposed to afford white afterglow through modulating the singlet-triplet splitting energy (ΔEST ) and exciton trapping depth (ETD ). Low-lying T1 * for yellow afterglow was constructed by H-aggregation engineering with large ETD and trace isomer doping, while high-lying T1 and S1 for blue afterglow with thermally activated emission feature were realized by reducing ΔEST through donor-acceptor molecular design. Therefore, the single-component white afterglow with high efficiency of 14.1 % and a lifetime of 0.61 s was achieved by rationally regulating the afterglow intensity ratios of complementary emissions from S1 , T1 , and T1 *.

Rhodium-Catalyzed Annulation of Primary Benzylamine with α-Diazo Ketone toward Isoquinoline.

Rhodium-catalyzed annulation of commercially available primary benzylamine with α-diazo ketone was developed, leading to isoquinolines in moderate to good yields. This procedure features the employment of primary benzylamine as starting material as well as high selectivity in the 3- and 4- position of isoquinoline, generating a key compliment to the previously developed annulation with internal alkyne.

Comparison of Computer-Assisted Navigation and 3D Printed Patient-Specific Template for the Iliosacral Screw Placement.

BACKGROUND: Iliosacral screw insertion by computer-assisted navigation gradually became the main technique in some hospitals, but the expensive price limited the extensive application. But other techniques such as 3D printed template was used to place iliosacral screw as novel method. This study was to compare the efficiency of percutaneous iliosacral screw placement by using patient-specific template and computer-assisted navigation. METHODS: Total of 58 patients from September 2017 to September 2021 with sacral injury were treated operatively with percutaneous screw technique, which was selected for this retrospective analysis and divided into two groups (template and computer-assisted navigation). There were 31 patients in template group and 27 patients in computer-assisted navigation group. The surgical details (operation time, blood loss, number of screw placements, and number of fluoroscopies), complications, radiographic and clinical results were recorded. The quality of reduction was assessed by the Matta scoring system. T-test and rank-sum test was used in this study. RESULTS: Operation time in template group was less (33.97 ± 16.61 < 60.31 ± 11.46 min, p < 0.01), but the preoperative preparation time was more (6.35 ± 1.60 > 5.41 ± 1.58, p < 0.05). The quality of reduction in both groups was no difference (p = 0.352). A patient was complicated with gluteal vessel injury in operation in navigation group, which was treated with ligation, but the same injury was not observed in template group. The related surgical data of patient with gluteal injury was ignored in statistical analysis. CONCLUSION: Both of the two techniques could improve surgical efficiency, the operation time in template was less than computer-assisted navigation group, but the preoperative preparation time was more.

Both-column Acetabular Fractures with Posterior Wall Involved can be Managed through Single Anterior Approach by Evaluation of Computer-assisted Virtual Surgery Technique.

OBJECTIVE: Posterior wall (PW) fractures were sometimes associated in both-column acetabular fractures. How to evaluate pre-operatively the necessity for the performance of the posterior approach was an issue to be solved. In order to solve this issue, the computer-assisted virtual surgery technique was used to evaluate if the involved PW in both-column acetabular fractures (BACF) should be managed through posterior approach and verify the feasibility of this method. METHODS: Data of a consecutive cohort of 72 patients with both-acetabular fractures from January 2012 to January 2020 was collected for retrospective study, of which 44 patients had concomitant acetabular PW fractures, and patients without PW fractures were labeled as the BCAF group. Computer-assisted virtual surgery technique was performed pre-operatively to evaluate the necessity for performance of posterior approach in 44 patients, and posterior approach was required if more than 3 mm of displacement was still present in the reduced 3D model. The 23 patients without treatment through posterior approach were labeled as the BCAF-PW- group, and the 21 patients with treatment through posterior approach were labeled as the BCAF-PW+ group. Operation-related and post-operative parameters were recorded. The quality of reduction and functional outcomes were assessed by the Matta scoring system and modified Merle d'Aubigné and Postel scoring system. The measurement data were analyzed using the t-test of independent samples and rank-sum test of ranked data between every two groups. Also, the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze data between the three groups. RESULTS: Comparing operation-related and post-operative parameters in the three groups, some PW fractures in both-column acetabular fractures could be ignored, and which could be evaluated pre-operatively for necessity of an additional posterior approach. Operative time (271.2 ± 32.8 mins) and intra-operative blood loss (1176.7 ± 211.1 mL) were significantly higher in the BCAF-PW+ group. The excellent/good of reduction (25/28 of the BCAF group, 21/23 of the BCAF-PW- group, 19/21 of the BCAF-PW+ group) and functional outcomes (24/28 of the BCAF group, 18/23 of the BCAF-PW- group, 18/21 of the BCAF-PW+ group) of three groups were similar. The incidence of complications, such as deep vein thrombosis (4/28 of the BCAF group >3/23 of the BCAF-PW- group >1/21 of the BCAF-PW+ group) and injury of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (3/23 of the BCAF-PW- group >2/28 of the BCAF group >0/21 of the BCAF-PW+ group), was no significant difference. CONCLUSION: The partial both-column acetabular fractures with PW involvement could be managed through a single anterior approach without another posterior approach by evaluation of computer-assisted virtual surgery technique.

Solution-Processable Chiral Boron Complexes for Circularly Polarized Red Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescent Devices.

Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) molecules, especially those with thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) properties, have attracted considerable attention due to their great potential for chiroptical organic light emitting diode (OLED) devices. Here we developed a new pair of TADF emitters with CPL based on boron complexes using chiral donor (cD) binaphthalene, acceptor (A) biphenyl boron ß-diketonate, and donor (D) biphenylamine in a cD-A-D architecture. With this design, both efficient intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) and chiral ICT for high-performance CPL were established, leading to high dissymmetry factors (|glum|) up to 2.2 × 10-3 in solution and significantly red-shifted emission around 600 nm for red TADF with a quantum yield over 15% in doped films. More impressively, with these chiral TADF emitters, solution-processed red circularly polarized OLEDs (CP-OLEDs) exhibit external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) up to 2.0% and efficient circularly polarized electroluminescence with dissymmetry factors of 2.6 × 10-3, which are among the best performances of the reported solution-processed orange-red and red TADF CP-OLEDs. These results illustrate the great success of the cD-A-D strategy in designing high-performance CPL TADF emitters with axially chiral boron complexes, providing important clues to understand efficient chiral transfer for large |glum| values and high device performance of CP-OLEDs.

Variation of plantaris muscle: a case report with clinical significance / Variación del músculo plantar: reporte de un caso con significado clínico

SUMMARY: The plantaris muscle is located between the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles, within the posterior calf group. Due to degeneration and its loss of plantar-flexion function, the muscle is vestigial in human beings, but it retains clinical significance. Few cases of variation in the plantaris muscle have been reported, and this, therefore, appears to be rare. Nonetheless, absence of this muscle was identified via the dissection of a left lower limb (male), which also indicated the absence of an attachment in the usual position. The present report, which addresses such variation, may provide both inspiration and reference points for the clinical treatment of so-called "tennis leg", and for the use of plantaris muscle for the purposes of clinical, autologous graft repair.

RESUMEN: El músculo plantar se ubica entre los músculos sóleo y gastrocnemio, dentro del grupo posterior de la pierna. Debido a la degeneración y la pérdida de la función de flexión plantar, el músculo es un vestigio en los seres humanos, pero conserva su importancia clínica. Se han informado pocos casos de variación en el músculo plantar y, por lo tanto, esto parece ser raro. No obstante, se observó la ausencia de este músculo durante la disección de un miembro inferior izquierdo (masculino). El presente informe, que aborda dicha variación, puede proporcionar puntos de referencia para el tratamiento clínico de la llamada "pierna de tenista" y para el uso del músculo plantar con fines de reparación clínica con injerto autólogo.
