Spin Unlocked Vortex Beam Generation on Nonlinear Chiroptical Metasurfaces.

Optical vortices with spin and orbital angular momentum (SAM and OAM) states offer multiple degrees of freedom for manipulating optical fields and thus enable great potentials in optical information processing. Recently, the optical metasurface has become an important platform for vortex beam generation and steering. However, the strong spin-orbit interaction on such metasurfaces usually leads to spin locked OAM generation, which limits the complete control of the angular momentum state of light. Here, we propose to solve this constraint using geometric phase controlled nonlinear chiroptical metasurfaces. The metasurface consists of two types of plasmonic meta-atoms which have opposite handedness and exhibit a strong spin-dependent circular dichroism effect. By encoding specific phase singularities and phase gradients to different channels, we experimentally demonstrate the spin unlocked second harmonic beam steering. The proposed nonlinear chiroptical metasurfaces may have important applications in developing multifunctional nonlinear optical devices.

Enhancing Electroreduction CO2 to Hydrocarbons via Tandem Electrocatalysis by Incorporation Cu NPs in Boron Imidazolate Frameworks.

Due to the higher value of deeply-reduced products, electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) to multi-electron-transfer products has received more attention. One attractive strategy is to decouple individual steps within the complicated pathway via multi-component catalysts design in the concept of tandem catalysts. Here, a composite of Cu@BIF-144(Zn) (BIF = boron imidazolate framework) is synthesized by using an anion framework BIF-144(Zn) as host to impregnate Cu2+ ions that are further reduced to Cu nanoparticles (NPs) via in situ electrochemical transformation. Due to the microenvironment modulation by functional BH(im)3 - on the pore surfaces, the Cu@BIF-144(Zn) catalyst exhibits a perfect synergetic effect between the BIF-144(Zn) host and the Cu NP guest during CO2 RR. Electrochemistry results show that Cu@BIF-144(Zn) catalysts can effectively enhance the selectivity and activity for the CO2 reduction to multi-electron-transfer products, with the maximum FECH4 value of 41.8% at -1.6 V and FEC2H4 value of 12.9% at -1.5 V versus RHE. The Cu@BIF-144(Zn) tandem catalyst with CO-rich microenvironment generated by the Zn catalytic center in the BIF-144(Zn) skeleton enhanced deep reduction on the incorporated Cu NPs for the CO2 RR to multi-electron-transfer products.

Layer by Layer Spraying Fabrication of Aggregation-Induced Emission Metal-Organic Frameworks Thin Film.

The development of new metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) thin films is important for expanding their functions and applications. Herein, we first report a new kind of MOF thin film by using aggregation-induced emission (AIE) dicarboxyl ligand through a liquid-phase epitaxial (LPE) layer-by-layer (LBL) spraying method (named AIE surface-coordinated metal-organic frameworks thin film, AIE-SURMOF). The obtained AIE-SURMOF Zn4O(TPE)3 (ZnTPE) has highly growth orientation and homogeneous thin film, showing strong fluorescent property. Furthermore, by loading chiral guest in the MOF pore, the formed chiral encapsulated AIE-SURMOF can clearly indicate obvious circularly polarized luminescence performance with glum of 0.01. This study provides new MOF thin film and new strategy for expanding function and application of MOF materials.

Aluminum Molecular Ring Meets Deep Eutectic Solvents: Adaptive Assembly and Optical Behavior.

Different from the previous neutral reaction solvent system, this work explores the synthesis of Al-oxo rings in ionic environments. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) formed by quaternary ammonium salts hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) and phenols hydrogen bond donor (HBD) further reduce the melting point of the reaction system and provide an ionic environment. Further, the quaternary ammonium salt was chosen as the HBA because it contains a halogen anion that matches the size of the central cavity of the molecular ring. Based on this thought, five Al8 ion pair cocrystals were synthesized via "DES thermal". The general formula is Q+ ⊂ {Cl@[Al8(BD)8(µ2-OH)4L12]} (AlOC-180-AlOC-185, Q+ = tetrabutylammonium, tetrapropylammonium, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole; HBD = phenol, p-chlorophenol, p-fluorophenol; HL = benzoic acid, 1-naphthoic acid, 1-pyrenecarboxylic acid, anthracene-9-carboxylic acid). Structural studies reveal that the phenol-coordinated Al molecular ring and the quaternary ammonium ion pair form the cocrystal compounds. The halogen anions in the DES component are confined in the center of the molecular ring, and the quaternary ammonium cations are located in the organic shell. Such an adaptive cocrystal binding pattern is particularly evident in the structures coordinated with low-symmetry ligands such as naphthoic acid and pyrene acid. Finally, the optical behavior of these cocrystal compounds is understood from the analysis of crystal structure and theoretical calculation.

Comparison of endoscopic third ventriculostomy versus cerebrospinal fluid shunt procedures for the treatment of pediatric hydrocephalus in Taiwan.

PURPOSE: Pediatric hydrocephalus is the most common cause of surgically treatable neurological disease in children. Controversies exist whether endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt placement is the most appropriate treatment for pediatric hydrocephalus. This study aimed to compare the risk of re-operation and death between the two procedures. METHODS: We performed a retrospective population-based cohort study and included patients younger than 20-years-old who underwent CSF shunt or ETV for hydrocephalus from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. RESULTS: A total of 3,555 pediatric patients from 2004 to 2017 were selected, including 2,340 (65.8%) patients that received CSF shunt placement and 1215 (34.2%) patients that underwent ETV. The incidence of all-cause death was 3.31 per 100 person-year for CSF shunt group and 2.52 per 100 person-year for ETV group, with an adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 0.79 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.66-0.94, p = 0.009). The cumulative incidence competing risk for reoperation was 31.2% for the CSF shunt group and 26.4% for the ETV group, with an adjusted subdistribution HR of 0.82 (95% CI = 0.70-0.96, p = 0.015). Subgroup analysis showed that ETV was beneficial for hydrocephalus coexisting with brain or spinal tumor, central nervous system infection, and intracranial hemorrhage. CONCLUSION: Our data indicates ETV is a better operative procedure for pediatric hydrocephalus when advanced surgical techniques and instruments are available.

Interleukin-4 inhibits the hypothalamic appetite control by modulating the insulin-AKT and JAK-STAT signaling in leptin mutant mice.

Our previous research identified interleukin-4 (IL-4) as a key regulator of glucose/lipid metabolism, circulatory leptin levels, and insulin action, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target for obesity and related complications. This study aimed to further elucidate the role of IL-4 in regulating hypothalamic appetite-controlling neuropeptides using leptin dysfunctional Leptin145E/145E mice as the experimental model. IL-4 significantly reduces body weight, food intake, and serum glucose levels. Our data demonstrated that IL-4 exhibits multiple functions in regulating hypothalamic appetite control, including downregulating orexigenic agouti-related peptide and neuropeptide Y levels, promoting expression of anorexigenic proopiomelanocortin, alleviating microenvironmental hypothalamic inflammation, enhancing leptin and insulin pathway, and attenuating insulin resistance. Furthermore, IL-4 promotes uncoupling protein 1 expression of white adipose tissue (WAT), suggesting its role in triggering WAT-beige switch. In summary, this study uncovers novel function of IL-4 in mediating food-intake behaviors and metabolic efficiency by regulating hypothalamic appetite-control and WAT browning activities. These findings support the therapeutic potential of targeting hypothalamic inflammation and reducing adiposity through IL-4 intervention for tackling the pandemic increasing prevalence of obesity and associated metabolic disorders.

Fine-Tuning Tridentate Ligands for the Construction of Nanotube-Based Boron Imidazolate Frameworks with High Chemical Stability.

Two unusual nanotube-based boron imidazolate frameworks (BIF-134 and BIF-135) were synthesized by a dual-ligand synthetic strategy under solvothermal conditions. In the structure of BIF-134 ([Co(BH(2-mim)3)(BTC)1/3](HBH(2-mim)3)1/3(NMA); 2-mim = 2-methylimidazole, NMA = N-methylacetamide, and BTC = 1,3,5-benzene tricarboxylate), one part of boron imidazolate ligands participate in the structural skeleton coordination, while another part of boron imidazolate ligands act as guest molecules that are located between adjacent nanotubes, which enhance the stability of the framework by the host-guest interaction and the pore space partition effects. It was found to be highly stable in air, water, organic solvents, and a wide pH range (pH 0-12). However, in the structure of BIF-135 ([Zn(BH(2-mim)3)(CHTC)1/3]; CHTC = 1,3,5-cyclohexanetricarboxylate), all boron imidazolate ligands participate in the structural skeleton coordination; there is no boron imidazolate guest molecule in the pores. The topology of BIF-135 is similar to that of BIF-134 by replacing BTC with CHTC and replacing Co with Zn. Furthermore, the obtained BIFs exhibited third-order nonlinear optical properties and potential optical limiting applications demonstrated by reverse saturable absorption.

Effects of Self-Administered Acupressure on Fatigue Following Traumatic Brain Injury: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

BACKGROUND: Fatigue is a common symptom after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and may persist for weeks or years. However, nonpharmacological management strategies for fatigue alleviations are almost nonexistent; thus, effective fatigue management programs are needed urgently. PURPOSES: We aimed to evaluate the effects of self-administered acupressure programs on post-TBI fatigue and heart rate variability and identify the possible correlation between the improvements in fatigue symptoms and the changes in heart rate variability. DESIGN: This randomized controlled trial included 2-point acupressure (TPA; n = 27), 5-point acupressure (FPA; n = 27), and usual care (UC, control; n = 27) groups who underwent several assessments before and after the study intervention. Heart rate variability was evaluated at baseline, weeks 2 and 3, and treatment completion. METHODS: The TPA and FPA groups self-administered acupressure (3 minutes per acupoint; bilateral), thrice daily for 4 weeks, whereas the UC group received routine treatment without acupressure. RESULTS: Both the TPA and FPA groups exhibited substantial improvements in fatigue symptoms compared with the baseline findings in the UC group. In addition, the TPA and FPA groups exhibited increased high-frequency power and mean number of times per hour in which the changes in successive normal sinus intervals (RR) gradually exceeded 50 ms (pNN50). Changes in high-frequency power and pNN50 were correlated with improvements in post-TBI fatigue symptoms. CONCLUSION: Acupressure may alleviate chronic fatigue and enhance parasympathetic activity in TBI survivors. The enhancement of parasympathetic activity may be correlated with improvements in post-TBI fatigue symptoms. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Healthcare providers should incorporate self-administered acupressure into the care plans for TBI survivors to improve their fatigue symptoms.

Correlation between B-cell lymphoma 6 with the balance of T helper-1/2 and severity of allergic rhinitis.

OBJECTIVE: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a prevailing immune disorder affecting the nasal mucosa. B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) imposes essential roles in immunity. This study probed into the serum expression of BCL6 and its effect on AR diagnosis and patients' quality of life (QOL). METHODS: A total of 113 patients with AR including 38 cases with mild AR (MAR) and 75 cases with moderate-severe AR (MSAR) were enrolled, with 101 healthy people enrolled as control. Serum expression of BCL6 was detected by RT-qPCR and the diagnostic efficacy of BCL6 for AR was analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic curve. The proportion of T helper-1/2 (Th1/Th2) cells in CD4+ T cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was detected using flow cytometry. The correlation between BCL6 and Th1/Th2 cells and the effects of BCL6 expression on patients' QOL were assessed by Pearson analysis and Mini-RQLQ questionnaire. RESULTS: BCL6 was downregulated in patients with AR, serum BCL6 level < 0.8450 had certain auxiliary diagnostic values for AR, and serum BCL6 level < 0.5400 could assist the diagnosis of AR severity. Th1 cell proportion in CD4+ T cells was decreased, whereas Th2 cell proportion was increased with AR severity. BCL6 was positively-linked with Th1 cells but inversely-correlated with Th2 cells in patients with AR. Patients with AR with low BCL6 expression had a poorer QOL compared with high BCL6 expression. The domains most affected by BCL6 expression were practical problems, nasal symptoms, and lacrimation. CONCLUSION: Serum BCL6 is downregulated and low BCL6 expression greatly deteriorates QOL in patients with AR.

Enhancing Methane Removal Efficiency of ZrMnFe Alloy by Partial Replacement of Fe with Co.

High-purity hydrogen is extensively employed in chemical vapor deposition, and the existence of methane impurity significantly impacts the device performance. Therefore, it is necessary to purify hydrogen to remove methane. The ZrMnFe getter commonly used in the industry reacts with methane at a temperature as high as 700 ∘C, and the removal depth is not sufficient. To overcome these limitations, Co partially substitutes Fe in the ZrMnFe alloy. The alloy was prepared by suspension induction melting method, and was characterized by means of XRD, ICP, SEM and XPS. The concentration of methane at the outlet was detected by gas chromatography to characterize the hydrogen purification performance of the alloy. The removal effect of the alloy on methane in hydrogen increases first and then decreases with the increase in substitution amount, and increases with the increase in temperature. Specifically, the ZrMnFe0.7Co0.3 alloy reduces methane levels in hydrogen from 10 ppm to 0.215 ppm at 500 ∘C. ZrMnFe0.7Co0.3 alloy can remove 50 ppm of methane in helium to less than 0.01 ppm at 450 ∘C, demonstrating its excellent methane reactivity. Moreover, Co substitution reduces the formation energy barrier of ZrC, and Co in the electron-rich state demonstrates superior catalytic activity for methane decomposition.

Enhancing Third-Order Nonlinear Optical Property by Regulating Interaction between Zr4(embonate)6 Cage and N, N-Chelated Transition-Metal Cation.

Herein, the combination of anionic Zr4L6 (L = embonate) cages and N, N-chelated transition-metal cations leads to a series of new cage-based architectures, including ion pair structures (PTC-355 and PTC-356), dimer (PTC-357), and 3D frameworks (PTC-358 and PTC-359). Structural analyses show that PTC-358 exhibits a 2-fold interpenetrating framework with a 3,4-connected topology, and PTC-359 shows a 2-fold interpenetrating framework with a 4-connected dia network. Both PTC-358 and PTC-359 can be stable in air and other common solvents at room temperature. The investigations of third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties indicate that these materials show different degrees of optical limiting effects. It is surprising that increasing coordination interactions between anion and cation moieties can effectively enhance their third-order NLO properties, which can be attributed to the formation of coordination bonds that facilitate charge transfer. In addition, the phase purity, UV-vis spectra, and photocurrent properties of these materials were also studied. This work provides new ideas for the construction of third-order NLO materials.

Explicit-restriction convolutional framework for lensless imaging.

Mask-based lensless cameras break the constraints of traditional lens-based cameras, introducing highly flexible imaging systems. However, the inherent restrictions of imaging devices lead to low reconstruction quality. To overcome this challenge, we propose an explicit-restriction convolutional framework for lensless imaging, whose forward model effectively incorporates multiple restrictions by introducing the linear and noise-like nonlinear terms. As examples, numerical and experimental reconstructions based on the limitation of sensor size, pixel pitch, and bit depth are analyzed. By tailoring our framework for specific factors, better perceptual image quality or reconstructions with 4× pixel density can be achieved. This proposed framework can be extended to lensless imaging systems with different masks or structures.

Abundant and diverse endophytic bacteria associated with medicinal plant Arctium lappa L. and their potential for host plant growth promoting.

Arctium lappa L. is one of the medicinal and food homologous plants in China, which is rich in nutrients and medicinal ingredients. The use of plant growth-promoting (PGP) endophytic bacteria is an alternative to reducing chemical fertilizers in agricultural production. The aim of this study was to analyze the diversity of endophytic bacteria in different cultivars of A. lappa L. collected from two geographical locations in China and evaluate PGP traits of the isolates and their potential PGP ability in greenhouse condition. Endophytic bacterial community was investigated by culture-dependent and culture-independent methods. Isolates were screened and investigated for multiple PGP traits, and representative strains were inoculated host seedlings to evaluate the growth promoting effect. A total of 348 endophytic bacteria were obtained and they were distributed into 4 phyla and 30 genera. In addition, high throughput sequencing revealed more abundant bacterial community, including 17 bacterial phyla and 207 genera. A high proportion of PGP traits were detected, including production of indole acetic acid, siderophore, ammonia and phosphate solubilization. Four representative strains with multiple PGP traits of the most dominant genera (Bacillus, Pantoea, Microbacterium and Pseudomonas) were further selected for host inoculation and growth promoting evaluation, and they significantly increase seedlings length, root length and fresh weight. This study demonstrated that A. lappa L. harbors abundant endophytic bacteria, and some endophytic bacteria showed good potential for the development of microbial fertilizer in the future.

Diagnosis of infantile subglottic hemangioma and the effect of oral propranolol.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical characteristics of infantile subglottic hemangioma (SGH), and to observe the safety and efficacy of propranolol in the treatment of SGH. METHODS: The data of 21 children diagnosed with SGH and treated with propranolol in our hospital from March 2013 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed and followed up. RESULTS: Among the 21 cases, there were 7 males and 14 females. SGH was found 11 left-sided, 9 right-sided and 1 bilateral-sided. The clinical manifestations included stridor (13/21), respiratory distress (6/21), barking cough (5/21), feeding difficulty (4/21), three concave sign (4/21), cyanosis (2/21) and hoarseness (1/21). 8 patients had multiple cutaneous hemangiomas. The age of presentation ranged from 1 to 8 months, with a median of 1.1 months. 18 cases (85.7 %) had a history of misdiagnosis, 14 bronchitis/pneumonia, 5 laryngomalacia, 2 laryngeal obstruction and 1 asthma. The median ages at diagnosis were 3 months, with a range of 1.2-28 months. The treatment duration ranged from 6 to 25.6 months, with an average of (14.3 ± 4.9) months. Age at termination of treatment ranged from 9 to 38 months, with a median of 18.6 months, and only 2 cases were beyond 2 years old at that time. No adverse side effects from propranolol therapy occurred and all 21 cases were cured. CONCLUSIONS: We advocate a strong index of suspicion for SGH presenting with respiratory symptoms under 2 years old who has poor effect or repeated condition after routine treatment. Laryngoscopy combined with contrast-enhanced CT can confirm the diagnosis of SGH. Oral propranolol is safe and effective, and that early diagnosis and intervention of propranolol without further delay are crucial to the successful management. We advocate continue propranolol treatment beyond 18 months of age, furthermore, 2 years old may be the best time for therapy termination.

Neuroprotective effect of l-theanine in a rat model of chronic constriction injury of sciatic nerve-induced neuropathic pain.

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: We investigated the protective efficacy of l-theanine (LT), the major amino acid components of green tea, on chronic constriction injury (CCI) of sciatic nerve-induced neuropathic pain (NP) development and neuronal functional changes in rats. METHODS: Rats with NP induced by CCI of the left sciatic nerve and sham-operated rats received LT or saline solution, with pain sensitive tests of thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia. Motor and sensory nerve conduction velocities were measured after surgery. Subsequently, the rats were sacrificed; the sciatic nerve was excised, homogenized, prepared and subjected for estimation of nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß), interleukin-6 (IL-6), myeloperoxidase (MPO), and caspase-3. RESULTS: CCI produced a significant increase in hyperalgesia and allodynia, an increase in SFI, a decrease in nerve conduction velocity, increases in NO, MDA, TNF-α, IL-1ß, IL-6, MPO, and caspase-3 levels, as well as reduction of GSH, SOD, and CAT in the rat sciatic nerve. LT treatment significantly and dose-dependently alleviated CCI-induced nociceptive pain thresholds and ameliorated abnormal nerve conduction and functional loss in rats with CCI. Moreover, LT treatment reduced NO and MDA levels, increased antioxidative strength, and markedly suppressed the levels of neuroinflammatory and apoptotic markers in injured sciatic nerves. CONCLUSION: This is the first report on the ameliorative effect of LT in CCI-induced NP in rats. This effect might be attributed to its anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and neuroprotective, thus making it potentially useful as an adjuvant to conventional treatment.

Metalens for Generating a Customized Vectorial Focal Curve.

Three-dimensional (3D) light fields with spatially inhomogeneous polarization and intensity distributions play an increasingly important role in photonics due to their peculiar optical features and extra degrees of freedom for carrying information. However, it is very challenging to simultaneously control the intensity profile and polarization profile in an arbitrary manner. Here we experimentally demonstrate a metalens that can focus light into an arbitrarily shaped focal curve with a predefined polarization distribution. The efficacy of this approach is exemplified through the demonstration of focused curves in 3D space ranging from simple shapes such as a circle to topologically nontrivial objects such as a 3D knot with controlled local polarization states. This powerful control of the light field would be technically challenging with their conventional counterparts. Our demonstration may find applications in beam engineering and integration optics.

Microtube Array Membrane Encapsulated Cell Therapy: A Novel Platform Technology Solution for Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease.

Alzheimer's disease is the most frequent form of dementia in aging population and is presently the world's sixth largest cause of mortality. With the advancement of therapies, several solutions have been developed such as passive immunotherapy against these misfolded proteins, thereby resulting in the clearance. Within this segment, encapsulated cell therapy (ECT) solutions that utilize antibody releasing cells have been proposed with a multitude of techniques under development. Hence, in this study, we utilized our novel and patented Microtube Array Membranes (MTAMs) as an encapsulating platform system with anti-pTau antibody-secreting hybridoma cells to study the impact of it on Alzheimer's disease. In vivo results revealed that in the water maze, the mice implanted with hybridoma cell MTAMs intracranially (IN) and subcutaneously (SC) showed improvement in the time spent the goal quadrant and escape latency. In passive avoidance, hybridoma cell loaded MTAMs (IN and SC) performed significantly well in step-through latency. At the end of treatment, animals with hybridoma cell loaded MTAMs had lower phosphorylated tau (pTau) expression than empty MTAMs had. Combining both experimental results unveiled that the clearance of phosphorylated tau might rescue the cognitive impairment associated with AD.

Presented here are a series of indium-organic frameworks synthesized by the self-assembly of In3+ salts and 1,1'-ferrocenedicarboxylic acid (H2FcDCA). Nitrogen-containing organic additives played various roles in the diversity of the structures. These compounds exhibit diverse frameworks with rich supramolecular interactions, which show good photoelectronic and redox activity together with active FcDCA ligands. Moreover, the indium-based MIL-53 analogue exhibited permanent porosity and gas separation.

Coordination Assembly of Tetrahedral Zr4(embonate)6 Cages with Eu3+ Ions.

Herein we systematically investigated the coordination assembly behavior of Zr4L6 cages with Eu3+ ions at room temperature. Through adjustment of the concentration of Eu salt and changes of the type and molar ratio of the solvent, a series of Zr4L6-Eu structures with different structure dimensionalities have been synthesized and structurally characterized. In addition, we also studied the optical properties of these materials in detail, including the fluorescent and third-order nonlinear-optical properties. Most notably, a 2D layer structure with a strong aromatic π···π-stacking force exhibits a good optical-limiting effect.

High-Order Nonlinear Spin-Orbit Interaction on Plasmonic Metasurfaces.

In linear optics, the angular momentum of light can be easily manipulated through the optical spin-orbit interaction (SOI) in structured media such as liquid crystals, metasurfaces, and forked gratings. Similarly, metasurfaces can be used to generate nonlinear optical beams with both custom-defined spin angular momentum (SAM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM) states. However, it has been limited to a low-order process in which only a Gaussian-shaped fundamental wave is used. In this work, the high-order nonlinear optical SOI effect on metasurfaces is demonstrated through the generation of multiple angular momentum states in nonlinear waves. This is achieved by exploiting the degrees of freedom provided by both the SAM and the OAM states of the fundamental wave (FW) and the topological charges of the plasmonic metasurfaces. The mechanism of both intrinsic and extrinsic contributions to the OAM of the nonlinear waves is revealed. High-order nonlinear SOI on metasurfaces offers new opportunities for realizing ultracompact nonlinear vortex beams.
