Desmoplastic fibroma of the pediatric cranium with CTNNB1 mutation: case report and literature review.

PURPOSE: Desmoplastic fibroma (DF) is an uncommon intermediate bone tumor rarely involving the skull with unidentified pathogenesis. We report the first case of pediatric temporoparietal cranial desmoplastic fibroma (DF) with a CTNNB1 gene mutation and review the previous literature. CASE PRESENTATION: A 3-year-old boy had a firm, painless mass on the right temporoparietal region for 22 months. The cranial CT scan showed isolated osteolytic destruction in the outer plate and diploe of the right temporoparietal bone. Gross total resection of the lesion and cranioplasty were performed. After that, a growing epidural hematoma was observed so another operation was performed to remove the artificial titanium plate. Postoperative pathology indicated a DF diagnosis and molecular pathology suggested a missense mutation in exon 3 of the CTNNB1 gene (c.100G > A,p.Gly34Arg). CONCLUSION: Pediatric cranial DF is rare and easy to be misdiagnosed before operation. For cranial DF, lesion resection can be performed and perioperative management should be strengthened. Mutations in the CTNNB1 gene might be one of the molecular pathologic features of DF.

Maintenance-free antifouling polymeric membrane potentiometric sensors based on self-polishing coatings.

Polymeric membrane ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) have been widely used in environmental monitoring. However, in complicated marine environments, marine biofouling usually becomes a sticky problem for these electrodes. Herein, for the first time, a novel maintenance-free antifouling potentiometric marine sensor based on a self-polishing coating (SPC) is proposed. The SPC is synthesized by using the seeded emulsion polymerization method based on the triisopropylsilyl methacrylate monomer as the regulator of the self-renewal rate. This coating can be simply modified onto the electrode surface by drop-casting. The silyl acrylate side groups of the obtained SPC on the sensor surface can be hydrolyzed in the marine alkaline medium. The shear movement of seawater driven by sea waves, wind, gravity, or vibration removes the leftover (fouled) brittle polymer backbone and thus the fouling marine microorganisms. As a proof-of-concept experiment, a polymeric membrane Ca2+-ISE is chosen as a model. Compared to the unmodified electrode, the SPC-coated Ca2+-ISE exhibits remarkable improved antifouling properties in terms of superior anti-adhesive abilities towards marine microorganisms, such as bacterial cells and algae and excellent long-term stability even in the presence of high levels of marine microorganisms. Since no additional manual maintenance is required for maintaining the antifouling abilities of the sensor, the proposed self-polishing sensor may lay an important foundation for construction of unattended long-term potentiometric monitoring systems in real marine environments.

Electrode-Supported Endohedral Metallofullerenes: Insights into the Confined Internal Dynamics.

Endohedral metallofullerenes show great promise as molecular-scale memory units due to their robust architecture and protective capability for encapsulated atoms. However, the flat potential-energy surface within the cage often results in a severe disorder of encapsulated atoms. Here, we focused on prototypical systems involving Li@C60 on metallic surfaces, emphasizing the electrode's confinement effect on caged dynamics. We demonstrated that the varying interfacial stabilities induced by Li motion predominantly depend on the synergetic effect of van der Waals forces and covalent bonds rather than the previously assumed electrostatic interactions. We unveiled that the repulsion effect between encapsulated atom and the metal electrode primarily arises from the antibonding states between the metal states below the Fermi level and the degenerated frontier orbitals from HOMO-4 to HOMO. By manipulating orbital interactions, we observed an ordered arrangement of the encapsulated atom on Rec-Pt(111) at room temperature. Furthermore, our findings underscore the disruptive influence of electric fields on the stability of distinct Li positions, a phenomenon closely tied to the dipole moment induced by Li motion. This research provides a new perspective on the confined internal dynamics of endohedral metallofullerenes by manipulating cage-electrode interactions, contributing to precisely controlled molecular electronics.

A Ce-CuZn catalyst with abundant Cu/Zn-OV-Ce active sites for CO2 hydrogenation to methanol.

CO2 hydrogenation to chemicals and fuels is a significant approach for achieving carbon neutrality. It is essential to rationally design the chemical structure and catalytic active sites towards the development of efficient catalysts. Here we show a Ce-CuZn catalyst with enriched Cu/Zn-OV-Ce active sites fabricated through the atomic-level substitution of Cu and Zn into Ce-MOF precursor. The Ce-CuZn catalyst exhibits a high methanol selectivity of 71.1% and a space-time yield of methanol up to 400.3 g·kgcat-1·h-1 with excellent stability for 170 h at 260 °C, comparable to that of the state-of-the-art CuZnAl catalysts. Controlled experiments and DFT calculations confirm that the incorporation of Cu and Zn into CeO2 with abundant oxygen vacancies can facilitate H2 dissociation energetically and thus improve CO2 hydrogenation over the Ce-CuZn catalyst via formate intermediates. This work offers an atomic-level design strategy for constructing efficient multi-metal catalysts for methanol synthesis through precise control of active sites.

The impact of blinding on estimated treatment effects in randomized clinical trials on acupuncture: A meta-epidemiological study.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the sole impact of blinding patients and outcome assessors in acupuncture randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on treatment effects while considering the type of outcome measures. METHODS: We searched databases for the meta-analyses on acupuncture with both blinded and non-blinded RCTs. Mixed-effects meta-regression models estimated the average ratio of odds ratios (ROR) and differences in standardized mean differences (dSMD) for non-blinded RCTs versus blinded mixed-effects meta-regression model. RESULTS: The study included 96 meta-analyses (1012 trials). The average ROR for lack of patient blinding was 1.08 (95% confidence intervals 0.79-1.49) in 18 meta-analyses with binary patient-reported outcomes. The average ROR for lack of outcome assessor blinding was 0.98 (0.77-1.24) in 43 meta-analyses with binary subjective outcomes. The average dSMD was -0.38 (-0.96 to 0.20) in 10 meta-analyses with continuous patient-reported outcomes. The average dSMD was -0.13 (-0.45 to 0.18) in 25 meta-analyses with continuous subjective outcomes. The results of the subgroup analysis were consistent with the primary analysis findings. CONCLUSIONS: Blinding of participants and outcome assessors does not significantly influence acupuncture treatment efficacy. It underscores the practical difficulties of blinding in acupuncture RCTs and the necessity to distinguish between trials with and without successful blinding to understand treatment expectations' effects. Enhancing blinding procedures' quality and assessment in future research is crucial for improving RCTs' internal validity and reliability.

Loss-of-function of kinesin-5 KIF11 causes microcephaly, chorioretinopathy, and developmental disorders through chromosome instability and cell cycle arrest.

Kinesin motors play a fundamental role in development by controlling intracellular transport, spindle assembly, and microtubule organization. In humans, patients carrying mutations in KIF11 suffer from an autosomal dominant inheritable disease called microcephaly with or without chorioretinopathy, lymphoedema, or mental retardation (MCLMR). While mitotic functions of KIF11 proteins have been well documented in centrosome separation and spindle assembly, cellular mechanisms underlying KIF11 dysfunction and MCLMR remain unclear. In this study, we generate KIF11-inhibition chick and zebrafish models and find that KIF11 inhibition results in microcephaly, chorioretinopathy, and severe developmental defects in vivo. Notably, loss-of-function of KIF11 causes the formation of monopolar spindle and chromosome misalignment, which finally contribute to cell cycle arrest, chromosome instability, and cell death. Our results demonstrate that KIF11 is crucial for spindle assembly, chromosome alignment, and cell cycle progression of progenitor stem cells, indicating a potential link between polyploidy and MCLMR. Our data have revealed that KIF11 inhibition cause microcephaly, chorioretinopathy, and development disorders through the formation of monopolar spindle, polyploid, and cell cycle arrest.

A novel edible solid fat substitute: Preparation of biphasic stabilized bigels based on glyceryl monolaurate and gellan gum.

Solid fats contribute to a delicate and pleasant flavor for food, but its excessive intake increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Bigel is considered a promising solid fat substitute as it significantly reduces fat content while meeting consumer demands for food flavor and a balanced diet. In this study, bigels were prepared by mixing glyceryl monolaurate-based oleogel (10 wt%) and gellan gum-based hydrogel (0.8 wt%) at ratios of 1:3, 1:1, and 3:1. The microscopic results indicated that the oleogel/hydrogel ratios influenced the structure of bigels, forming oil-in-water, bi-continuous, and water-in-oil bigels with the increase of oleogel proportion, respectively. All bigels presented a semi-solid structure dominated by elasticity, and their hardness, gumminess, chewiness, and cohesiveness increased with the enhancement of hydrogel proportion. Among them, the bigels (S25:L75 and S25:H75) prepared with an oleogel/hydrogel ratio of 1:3 showed excellent freeze-thaw stability, maintaining an oil holding capacity of >95 % after three freeze-thaw cycles. Meanwhile, they also presented good oxidative stabilities, where the peroxide values and malondialdehyde contents were below 0.07 g/100 g and 1.5 mg MDA/kg at 12 d, respectively. Therefore, S25:L75 and S25:H75 are expected to be green, low-cost, healthy, and sustainable alternatives to solid fats.

Ischemic stroke as an initial performance of polycythemia vera in young adults: A case report and literature review.

INTRODUCTION: As the second leading cause of death and disability worldwide, stroke is mainly caused by atherosclerosis and cardiac embolism, particularly in older individuals. Nevertheless, in young and otherwise healthy individuals, the causes of stroke can be more diverse and may include conditions such as patent foramen ovale, vasculitis, coagulopathies, genetic factors, or other undetermined causes. Although these other causes of stroke account for a relatively small proportion compared to ischemic stroke, they are becoming increasingly common in clinical practice and deserve attention. Here, we present a rare female patient with polycythemia vera (PV) who was admitted to the hospital as a stroke patient without any previous medical history. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 40-year-old young woman felt sudden dizziness and slow response. After 4 days of being admitted, she developed blurry vision on the right. DIAGNOSES: Cranial magnetic resonance imaging revealed aberrant signals in the left temporal and parietal lobe, as well as multiple small focal signal abnormalities were observed in the left frontal lobe. Magnetic resonance angiography revealed partial stenosis of the left internal carotid artery. The patient's blood routine examination revealed a significant elevation in complete blood counts, particularly the increase in red blood cells, as well as prolonged clotting time. An abdominal ultrasound and abdomen computed tomography showed splenomegaly. The outcome of the genetic testing was positive for the Janus kinase JAK2 exon V617F mutation (JAK2/V617F). The patient was diagnosed with PV-related stroke. INTERVENTIONS: The patient was treated with phlebotomy, cytoreductive therapy, and low-dose aspirin antiplatelet therapy and was regularly followed up in hematology and neurology clinics after discharge. OUTCOMES: The patient's red blood cell, leukocyte, and thrombocyte counts had fully normalized, with her hemoglobin level measuring at 146 g/L and hematocrit value at 43%. Furthermore, there had been a significant improvement in neurological symptoms. LESSONS: PV, a rare hematological disorder, can present with ischemic stroke as the initial performance, and the diagnosis mainly relies on routine blood tests, bone marrow biopsies, and genetic test. Therefore, clinicians should pay attention to PV, a low-prevalence disease, when encountering stroke in youth.

Fibrous dysplasia with aneurysmal bone cyst-like change occurring in pediatric orbit: case report and literature review.

PURPOSE: We report a case of fibrous dysplasia (FD) with aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC)-like change in a child with orbital involvement, review the related cases, and discuss clinical features, therapy, and prognosis of this disease. CASE PRESENTATION: A 10-year-old girl had right proptosis (degree of exophthalmos: OD 16 mm, OS 13 mm) and limited vision (visual acuity: OD 1.0, OS 0.8) without trauma. Preoperative CT showed a 5.0*4.3 cm right-sided crania-orbital communicating tumor. MRI indicated a well-defined multicystic mass with scattered fluid levels and soap bubble-like alterations. The child underwent total tumor resection and orbital parietal titanium mesh reconstruction. At 20 months of follow-up, the child has recovered from ocular problems, and the tumor has not recurred. CONCLUSION: FD combined with ABC rarely occurs in orbit and generally begins with ocular symptoms. The etiology is uncertain. Early diagnosis and surgery are essential. Complete resection is suggested whenever possible because residual lesions may recur.

Precisely Control Relationship between Sulfur Vacancy and H Absorption for Boosting Hydrogen Evolution Reaction.

Effective and robust catalyst is the core of water splitting to produce hydrogen. Here, we report an anionic etching method to tailor the sulfur vacancy (VS) of NiS2 to further enhance the electrocatalytic performance for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). With the VS concentration change from 2.4% to 8.5%, the H* adsorption strength on S sites changed and NiS2-VS 5.9% shows the most optimized H* adsorption for HER with an ultralow onset potential (68 mV) and has long-term stability for 100 h in 1 M KOH media. In situ attenuated-total-reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIRS) measurements are usually used to monitor the adsorption of intermediates. The S- H* peak of the NiS2-VS 5.9% appears at a very low voltage, which is favorable for the HER in alkaline media. Density functional theory calculations also demonstrate the NiS2-VS 5.9% has the optimal |ΔGH*| of 0.17 eV. This work offers a simple and promising pathway to enhance catalytic activity via precise vacancies strategy.

Pressure-cycling induced transition behaviors of MnBi2Te4.

MnBi2Te4 can generate a variety of exotic topological quantum states, which are closely related to its special structure. We conduct comprehensive multiple-cycle high-pressure research on MnBi2Te4 by using a diamond anvil cell to study its phase transition behaviors under high pressure. As observed, when the pressure does not exceed 15 GPa, the material undergoes an irreversible metal-semiconductor-metal transition, whereas when the pressure exceeds 17 GPa, the layered structure is damaged and becomes irreversibly amorphous due to the lattice distortion caused by compression, but it is not completely amorphous, which presents some nano-sized grains after decompression. Our investigation vividly reveals the phase transition behaviors of MnBi2Te4 under high pressure cycling and paves the experimental way to find topological phases under high pressure.

Stabilizing Sulfur Sites in Tetraoxygen Tetrahedral Coordination Structure for Efficient Electrochemical Water Oxidation.

Ion regulation strategy is regarded as a promising pathway for designing transition metal oxide-based electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with improved activity and stability. Precise anion conditioning can accurately change the anionic environment so that the acid radical ions (SO4 2- , PO3 2- , SeO4 2- , etc.), regardless of their state (inside the catalyst, on the catalyst surface, or in the electrolyte), can optimize the electronic structure of the cationic active site and further increase the catalytic activity. Herein, we report a new approach to encapsulate S atoms at the tetrahedral sites of the NaCl-type oxide NiO to form a tetraoxo-tetrahedral coordination structure (S-O4 ) inside the NiO (S-NiO -I). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and operando vibrational spectroscopy proves that this kind of unique structure could achieve the S-O4 and Ni-S stable structure in S-NiO-I. Combining mass spectroscopy characterization, it could be confirmed that the S-O4 structure is the key factor for triggering the lattice oxygen exchange to participate in the OER process. This work demonstrates that the formation of tetraoxygen tetrahedral structure is a generalized key for boosting the OER performances of transition metal oxides.

Construction of a Reversible Solid-state Fluorescence Switching Via Photochromic Diarylethene and Si-ZnO Quantum Dots.

Developing fluorescence switching as functional system is highly desirable for potential applications in the fields of light-responsive materials or devices. Attempt to construct fluorescence switching system tend to focus on the high fluorescence modulation efficiency, especially in solid state. Herein, a photo-controlled fluorescence switching system was constructed with photochromic diarylethene and trimethoxysilane modified zinc oxide quantum dots (Si-ZnO QDs) successfully. It was verified by the measurement of modulation efficiency, fatigue resistance as well as theoretical calculation. Upon irradiation with UV/Vis lights, the system exhibited excellent photochromic property and photo-controlled fluorescence switching performance. Furthermore, the excellent fluorescence switching characters could also be realized in solid state and the fluorescence modulation efficiency was determined to be 87.4%. The results will provide new strategies to the construction of reversible solid-state photo-controlled fluorescence switching for the application in the fields of optical data storage and security labels.

Citrin deficiency due to SLC25A13 exon deletion in a Chinese infant: A case report.

INTRODUCTION: Citrin is a calcium-bound aspartate-glutamate carrier protein encoded by the gene SLC25A13, mutations of which can cause citrin deficiency, an autosomal recessive disorder. The manifestations of citrin deficiency include neonatal intrahepatic choledeposits caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD: OMIM#605814), intermediate growth disorders and dyslipidemia caused by citrin deficiency, and citrullinemia type II (OMIM#603471) in adults. NICCD is a classical metabolic disorder that causes cholestasis in newborns. PATIENT CONCERN AND CLINICAL FINDINGS: Here, we present the case of a 2-month-old male patient treated in our hospital on March 20, 2023, due to "postnatal skin xanthochromia and transaminases higher than normal values". Since birth, the child's skin had yellowed all over the body, and his condition did not improve after multiple medical treatments. DIAGNOSIS/INTERVENTION/OUTCOMES: The child underwent full exome gene testing at the age of 2 months and 13 days, and the results indicated heterozygous deletion of exon 3 of the SLC25A13 gene, while genetic testing of the parents revealed no gene mutations. The variant was preliminarily judged as being pathogenic according to the ACMG guidelines, and the patient was diagnosed with "citrin deficiency". Skin yellowing eventually subsided, and liver function returned to normal without special treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Here, we report a rare case of citrin deficiency caused by a heterozygous deletion of the SLC25A13 gene. This case increases the clinical phenotypic profile of NICCD, suggesting that clinicians must be vigilant regarding such genetic metabolic diseases in the clinic for early diagnosis and treatment. NICCD should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of neonatal cholestasis.

Development and performance of recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) assay for detecting Schistosoma haematobium DNA in urine samples.

Rapid diagnosis of urogenital schistosomiasis caused by Schistosoma haematobium requires an accurate and timely assay, especially for low-intensity S. haematobium infection cases and in non-endemic areas. The mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase 1 (cox1) gene fragment of S. haematobium was selected as detection target as this short fragment, which can be rapidly sequenced and yet possess good diagnostic resolution. A pair of primers and a fluorescent probe were designed according to the principle of recombinase-aided amplification (RAA), which was subsequently optimized and applied as an S. haematobium-specific RAA assay. Its diagnostic performance was validated for sensitivity and specificity in comparison to microscopy-based egg counting after urine filtration. The RAA assay could detect as little as 10 copies/µL of S. haematobium recombinant plasmid, and no cross-reactions were observed with S. mansoni, S. japonicum, Ancylostoma duodenale, Clonorchis sinensis, Echinococcus granulosus, or Ascaris lumbricoides. This test can be conducted at 39 °C and the whole RAA reaction can be completed within 20 min. The validation of the RAA assay showed that it had 100 % consistency with urine-egg microscopy, as it does not require an elaborate reading tool, is simple to use, and should be useful for field diagnostics and point-of-care applications.

Rapid Formation of Epitaxial Oxygen Evolution Reaction Catalysts on Dendrites with High Catalytic Activity and Stability.

Oxygen evolution reaction is an essential but kinetically sluggish step in many energy storage and conversion processes and therefore is in pursuit of highly efficient and stable catalysts. Although nanosized transition-metal-based oxides/hydroxides exhibit high catalytic activity toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), many of them suffer from low stability at an anode current density in industrial scale. Herein, by combining a rapid epitaxial formation method with dynamic bubble-templated electrodeposition, we successfully developed single crystalline NiFeCu oxide catalysts with a hierarchical porous structure. It was found that the structure can facilitate fast electron transportation for the catalysts and retard the diffusion of the O atoms to the inner metallic current collector. The hierarchical pores inherited from the hydrogen bubble templates built ideal channels for the massive and rapid release of oxygen bubbles. As a consequence, the NiFeCu oxides catalyzed the OER more efficiently and steadily than the commercial RuO2 catalyst at an anode current density in industrial scale (300 mA/cm2). This work, by resolving the durability concerns for nanosized oxides, offers a series of highly efficient and stable catalysts for OER and a structure building strategy to boost the catalytic activity and stability for nonconductive catalysts.

Novel Nitrophenyl Substituted Anthranilic Diamide Derivatives: Design, Synthesis, Selectivity, and Antiresistance.

Diamide insecticides have gained popularity due to their high efficacy and low toxicity to nontarget organisms. However, diamide-associated resistance has emerged recently, causing a significant reduction in their potency, thereby hindering sustainable agricultural development. Here, we explored novel diamide insecticide analogs and, using a structure-based approach, rationally designed and synthesized 28 nitrophenyl substituted anthranilic diamides. Most of the compounds showed moderate to good activity against Mythimna separata, Plutella xylostella, and Spodoptera frugiperda. Among them, compounds Ia and Im showed extraordinarily high activity and their mode of action was verified on isolated neurons. Additionally, Im exhibited over 10-fold greater potency than chlorantraniliprole in a HEK293 cell line stably expressing S. frugiperda ryanodine receptors (SfRyRs) containing the resistance mutations, G4891E and I4734M. The binding modes of Im in the SfRyRs were predicted using in silico molecular docking analysis. Our novel nitrophenyl substituted anthranilic diamide derivatives provide valuable insights for the design of insecticidal RyR-targeting compounds to effectively control both wild type and diamide insecticide-resistant lepidopteran pests.

An ultra pH-responsive peptide nanocarrier for cancer gene therapy.

The tumor microenvironment is a very complex and dynamic ecosystem. Although a variety of pH-responsive peptides have been reported to deliver nucleic acid drugs for cancer treatment, these responses typically only target the acidic microenvironment of the tumor or the lysosome, and the carrier suffers from issues such as low transfection efficiency and poor lysosomal escape within the cell. To address this problem, we have developed an ultra pH-responsive peptide nanocarrier that can efficiently deliver siRNA, pDNA, and mRNA into cancer cells by performing progressive dynamic assembly in response to pH changes in the acidic tumor microenvironment (pH 6.5-6.8) and the acidic intracellular lysosomal environment (pH 5.0-6.0). The maximum transfection efficiency was 87.1% for pDNA and 74.9% for mRNA, which is higher than that of peptide-based nanocarrier reported to date. In addition, the targeting sequence on the surface allows the peptide@siRNA complex to efficiently enter cancer cells, causing 96% of cancer cell mortality. The carrier has high biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity, making it highly promising for application in immunotherapy and gene therapy of tumors.

Design of Hollow Nanoreactors for Size- and Shape-Selective Catalytic Semihydrogenation Driven by Molecular Recognition.

Mimicking the structures and functions of cells to create artificial organelles has spurred the development of efficient strategies for production of hollow nanoreactors with biomimetic catalytic functions. However, such structure are challenging to fabricate and are thus rarely reported. We report the design of hollow nanoreactors with hollow multishelled structure (HoMS) and spatially loaded metal nanoparticles. Starting from a molecular-level design strategy, well-defined hollow multishelled structure phenolic resins (HoMS-PR) and carbon (HoMS-C) submicron particles were accurately constructed. HoMS-C serves as an excellent, versatile platform, owing to its tunable properties with tailored functional sites for achieving precise spatial location of metal nanoparticles, internally encapsulated (Pd@HoMS-C) or externally supported (Pd/HoMS-C). Impressively, the combination of the delicate nanoarchitecture and spatially loaded metal nanoparticles endow the pair of nanoreactors with size-shape-selective molecular recognition properties in catalytic semihydrogenation, including high activity and selectivity of Pd@HoMS-C for small aliphatic substrates and Pd/HoMS-C for large aromatic substrates. Theoretical calculations provide insight into the pair of nanoreactors with distinct behaviors due to the differences in energy barrier of substrate adsorption. This work provides guidance on the rational design and accurate construction of hollow nanoreactors with precisely located active sites and a finely modulated microenvironment by mimicking the functions of cells.

A photo-controlled fluorescent switching based on carbon dots and photochromic diarylethene for bioimaging.

Carbon dots (CDs) as luminescent zero-dimensional carbon nanomaterials have good aqueous dissolution, photostability, high quantum yield, and tunability of emission color. It has great application potential in many fields, including bioimaging, labeling of biological species, drug delivery, and sensing in biomedical. However, controlling the fluorescence emission of carbon dots remains a formidable challenge. Herein, we designed and exploited a photo-controlled fluorescent switching based on photochromic diarylethene (DT) and CDs for bioimaging. It could be modulated reversibly between "ON" and "OFF" under UV/vis light exposure. The fluorescent modulation efficiency was as high as 95.3%. The fluorescent switching could be used to the bioimaging in HeLa cells with low cell toxicity. Therefore, this fluorescent switching could be a promising candidate in many potential application areas, especially in bioimaging.
