文摘Perovskite solar cells have achieved remarkable progress in photovoltaic efficiency.However,interfacial defects at the buried and upper interfaces of perovskite layer remain a critical challenge,leading to charge recombination,ion migration,and iodine oxidation.To address this,we propose a novel all-in-one modification strategy employing ammonia borane(BNH6)as a multifunctional complex.By incorporating BNH6 at both buried and upper interfaces simultaneously,we achieve dualinterfacial defect passivation and iodide oxidation suppression through three key mechanisms:(1)hydrolysis-induced interaction with SnO_(2),(2)coordination with Pb^(2+),and(3)inhibition of I−oxidation.This approach significantly enhances device performance,yielding a champion power conversion efficiency(PCE)of 26.43%(certified 25.98%).Furthermore,the unencapsulated device demonstrates prominent enhanced operation stability,maintaining 90%of its initial PCE after 500 h under continuous illumination.Notably,our strategy eliminates the need for separate interface treatments,streamlining fabrication and offering a scalable route toward high-performance perovskite photovoltaics.

文摘Solar-driven interfacial desalination(SID)offers a sustainable route for freshwater production,yet its long-term performance is compromised by salt crystallization and microbial fouling under complex marine conditions.Zwitterionic polymers offer promising nonfouling capabilities,but current zwitterionic hydrogel-based solar evaporators(HSEs)suffer from inadequate hydration and salt vulnerability.Inspired by the natural marine environmental adaptive characteristics of saltwater fish,we report a superhydrated zwitterionic poly(trimethylamine N-oxide,PTMAO)/polyacrylamide(PAAm)/polypyrrole(PPy)hydrogel(PTAP)with dedicated water channels for efficient,durable,and nonfouling SID.The directly linked N⁺and O⁻groups in PTMAO establish a robust hydration shell that facilitates rapid water transport while resisting salt and microbial adhesion.Integrated PAAm and PPy networks enhance mechanical strength and photothermal conversion.PTAP achieves a high evaporation rate of 2.35 kg m^(−2)h^(−1)under 1 kW m^(–2)in 10 wt%NaCl solution,maintaining stable operation over 100 h without salt accumulation.Furthermore,PTAP effectively resists various foulants including proteins,bacterial,and algal adhesion.Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the exceptional hydration capacity supports its nonfouling properties.This work advances the development of nonfouling HSEs for sustainable solar desalination in real-world marine environments.
文摘Complex trimalleolar ankle fractures are a major orthopaedic challenge,with an incidence of 4.22 per 10000 person-years in the United States and an annual cost of 3.4 billion dollars.This review synthesizes current evidence on diagnostic protocols and management strategies,highlighting optimal approaches and emerging trends.Initial care emphasizes soft tissue assessment,often guided by the Tscherne classification,and fracture classification systems.External fixation may be required in open injuries,while early open reduction and internal fixation within six days is linked to improved outcomes.Minimally invasive techniques for the lateral malleolus,including intramedullary nailing and locking plates,are effective,while medial malleolus fractures are commonly managed with screw fixation or tension-band wiring.Posterior malleolus fragments involving more than 25%of the articular surface usually warrant fixation.Alternatives to syndesmotic screws,such as cortical buttons or high-strength sutures,reduce the need for secondary procedures.Arthroscopic-assisted open reduction and internal fixation benefits younger,active patients by enabling concurrent management of intra-articular and ligamentous injuries.Postoperative care prioritizes early weight-bearing and validated functional scores.Despite advances,complications remain common,and further research is needed to refine surgical strategies and improve outcomes.

文摘Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons and clinical symptoms such as tremors,rigidity,and slowed movements.A key feature of Parkinson's disease is the accumulation of misfoldedα-synuclein,forming insoluble Lewy bodies in the substantia nigra pars compacta,which contributes to neurodegeneration.Theseα-synuclein aggregates may act as autoantigens,leading to T-cell-mediated neuroinflammation and contributing to dopaminergic cell death.Our perspective explores the hypothesis that Parkinson's disease may have an autoimmune component,highlighting research that connects peripheral immune responses with neurodegeneration.T cells derived from Parkinson's disease patients appear to have the potential to initiate an autoimmune response againstα-synuclein and its modified peptides,possibly leading to the formation of neo-epitopes.Recent evidence associates Parkinson's disease with abnormal immune responses,as indicated by increased levels of immune cells,such as CD4^(+)and CD8^(+)T cells,observed in both patients and mouse models.The convergence of T cells filtration increasing major histocompatibility complex molecules,and the susceptibility of dopaminergic neurons supports the hypothesis that Parkinson's disease may exhibit autoimmune characteristics.Understanding the immune mechanisms involved in Parkinson's disease will be crucial for developing therapeutic strategies that target the autoimmune aspects of the disease.Novel approaches,including precision medicine based on major histocompatibility complex/human leukocyte antigen typing and early biomarker identification,could pave the way for immune-based treatments aimed at slowing or halting disease progression.This perspective explores the relationship between autoimmunity and Parkinson's disease,suggesting that further research could deepen understanding and offer new therapeutic avenues.In this paper,it is organized to provide a comprehensive perspective on the autoimmune aspects of Parkinson's disease.It investigates critical areas such as the autoimmune response observed in Parkinson's disease patients and the role of autoimmune mechanisms targetingα-synuclein in Parkinson's disease.The paper also examines the impact of CD4~+T cells,specifically Th1 and Th17,on neurons through in vitro and ex vivo studies.Additionally,it explores howα-synuclein influences glia-induced neuroinflammation in Parkinson's disease.The discussion extends to the clinical implications and therapeutic landscape,offering insights into potential treatments.Consequently,we aim to provide a comprehensive perspective on the autoimmune aspects of Parkinson's disease,incorporating both supportive and opposing views on its classification as an autoimmune disorder and exploring implications for clinical applications.

文摘Objective:Triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)is highly aggressive and lacks an effective targeted therapy.This study aimed to elucidate the functions and possible mechanisms of action of zinc finger miz-type containing 2(ZMIZ2)and minichromosome maintenance complex component 3(MCM3)in TNBC progression.Methods:The relationship between ZMIZ2 expression and clinical characteristics of TNBC was investigated.In vitro and in vivo experiments were performed to investigate the role of ZMIZ2 dysregulation in TNBC cell malignant behaviors.The regulatory relationship between ZMIZ2 and MCM3 was also explored.Transcriptome sequencing was performed to elucidate possible mechanisms underlying the ZMIZ2/MCM3 axis in TNBC.Results:High ZMIZ2 expression levels were associated with the malignant degree of TNBC.ZMIZ2 overexpression promoted TNBC cell proliferation,migration,and invasion;inhibited apoptosis;and induced G1 phase cell cycle arrest,whereas knockdown of ZMIZ2 had the opposite effect.ZMIZ2 directly targeted and positively regulated MCM3 expression.MCM3 knockdown reversed the effect of ZMIZ2 overexpression on TNBC tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo.High MCM3 expression levels were linked to the degree of malignancy and poor prognosis in TNBC.The differentially expressed genes associated with the ZMIZ2/MCM3 axis were significantly enriched in multiple pathways,such as the mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK),mechanistic target of rapamycin(mTOR),Wnt,and Ras signaling pathways,as verified by The Cancer Genome Atlas data.Conclusions:ZMIZ2 and MCM3 were highly expressed in TNBC.ZMIZ2 promoted the development by positively regulating MCM3 expression.Key pathways,such as the Ras/MAPK,phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(AKT)/mTOR,and Wnt signaling pathways,may be key downstreammechanisms.

文摘BACKGROUND Laparoscopic liver resection(LLR)can be challenging due to the difficulty of establishing a retrohepatic tunnel under laparoscopy.Dissecting the third hepatic hilum before parenchymal transection often leads to significant liver mobilization,tumor compression,and bleeding from the short hepatic veins(SHVs).This study introduces a novel technique utilizing the ventral avascular area of the inferior vena cava(IVC),allowing SHVs to be addressed after parenchymal transection,thereby reducing surgical complexity and improving outcomes in in situ LLR.AIM To introduce and evaluate a novel LLR technique using the ventral avascular area of the IVC and compare its short-term outcomes with conventional methods.METHODS The clinical cohort data of patients with pathologically confirmed hepatocellular carcinoma or intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who underwent conventional LLR and novel LLR between July 2021 and July 2023 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were retrospectively analyzed.In novel LLR,we initially separated the caudate lobe from the IVC using dissecting forceps along the ventral avascular area of the IVC.Then,we transected the parenchyma of the left and right caudate lobes from the caudal side to the cephalic side using the avascular area as a marker.Subsequently,we addressed the SHVs and finally dissected the root of the right hepatic vein or left hepatic vein.The short-term postoperative outcomes and oncological results of the two approaches were evaluated and compared.RESULTS A total of 256 patients were included,with 150(58.59%)undergoing conventional LLR and 106(41.41%)undergoing novel LLR.The novel technique resulted in significantly larger tumor resections(6.47±2.96 cm vs 4.01±2.33 cm,P<0.001),shorter operative times(199.57±60.37 minutes vs 262.33±83.90 minutes,P<0.001),less intraoperative blood loss(206.92±37.09 mL vs 363.34±131.27 mL,P<0.001),and greater resection volume(345.11±31.40 mL vs 264.38±31.98 mL,P<0.001)compared to conventional LLR.CONCLUSION This novel technique enhances liver resection outcomes by reducing intraoperative complications such as bleeding and tumor compression.It facilitates a safer,in situ removal of complex liver tumors,even in challenging anatomical locations.Compared to conventional methods,this technique offers significant advantages,including reduced operative time,blood loss,and improved overall surgical efficiency.

文摘Complex network models are frequently employed for simulating and studyingdiverse real-world complex systems.Among these models,scale-free networks typically exhibit greater fragility to malicious attacks.Consequently,enhancing the robustness of scale-free networks has become a pressing issue.To address this problem,this paper proposes a Multi-Granularity Integration Algorithm(MGIA),which aims to improve the robustness of scale-free networks while keeping the initial degree of each node unchanged,ensuring network connectivity and avoiding the generation of multiple edges.The algorithm generates a multi-granularity structure from the initial network to be optimized,then uses different optimization strategies to optimize the networks at various granular layers in this structure,and finally realizes the information exchange between different granular layers,thereby further enhancing the optimization effect.We propose new network refresh,crossover,and mutation operators to ensure that the optimized network satisfies the given constraints.Meanwhile,we propose new network similarity and network dissimilarity evaluation metrics to improve the effectiveness of the optimization operators in the algorithm.In the experiments,the MGIA enhances the robustness of the scale-free network by 67.6%.This improvement is approximately 17.2%higher than the optimization effects achieved by eight currently existing complex network robustness optimization algorithms.
文摘To expand the study on the structures and biological activities of the anthracyclines anticancer drugs and reduce their toxic side effects,the new anthraquinone derivatives,9‑pyridylanthrahydrazone(9‑PAH)and 9,10‑bispyridylanthrahydrazone(9,10‑PAH)were designed and synthesized.Utilizing 9‑PAH and 9,10‑PAH as promising anticancer ligands,their respective copper complexes,namely[Cu(L1)Cl_(2)]Cl(1)and{[Cu_(4)(μ_(2)‑Cl)_(3)Cl_(4)(9,10‑PAH)_(2)(DMSO)_(2)]Cl_(2)}_(n)(2),were subsequently synthesized,where the new ligand L1 is formed by coupling two 9‑PAH ligands in the coordination reaction.The chemical and crystal structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated by IR,MS,elemental analysis,and single‑crystal X‑ray diffraction.Complex 1 forms a mononuclear structure.L1 coordinates with Cu through its three N atoms,together with two Cl atoms,to form a five‑coordinated square pyramidal geometry.Complex 2 constitutes a polymeric structure,wherein each structural unit centrosymmetrically encompasses two five‑coordinated binuclear copper complexes(Cu1,Cu2)of 9,10‑PAH,with similar square pyramidal geometry.A chlorine atom(Cl_(2)),located at the symmetry center,bridges Cu1 and Cu1A to connect the two binuclear copper structures.Meanwhile,the two five‑coordinated Cu2 atoms symmetrically bridge the adjacent structural units via one coordinated Cl atom,respectively,thus forming a 1D chain‑like polymeric structure.In vitro anticancer activity assessments revealed that 1 and 2 showed significant cytotoxicity even higher than cisplatin.Specifically,the IC_(50)values of 2 against HeLa‑229 and SK‑OV‑3 cancer cell lines were determined to be(5.92±0.32)μmol·L^(-1)and(6.48±0.39)μmol·L^(-1),respectively.2 could also block the proliferation of HeLa‑229 cells in S phase and significantly induce cell apoptosis.In addition,fluorescence quenching competition experiments suggested that 2 might interact with DNA by an intercalative binding mode,offering insights into its underlying anticancer mechanism.CCDC:2388918,1;2388919,2.

文摘Metal complexes hold significant promise in tumor diagnosis and treatment.However,their potential applications in photodynamic therapy(PDT)are hindered by issues such as poor photostability,low yield of reactive oxygen species(ROS),and aggregation-induced ROS quenching.To address these challenges,we present a molecular self-assembly strategy utilizing aggregation-induced emission(AIE)conjugates for metal complexes.As a proof of concept,we synthesized a mitochondrial-targeting cyclometalated Ir(Ⅲ)photosensitizer Ir-TPE.This approach significantly enhances the photodynamic effect while mitigating the dark toxicity associated with AIE groups.Ir-TPE readily self-assembles into nanoaggregates in aqueous solution,leading to a significant production of ROS upon light irradiation.Photoirradiated Ir-TPE triggers multiple modes of death by excessively accumulating ROS in the mitochondria,resulting in mitochondrial DNA damage.This damage can lead to ferroptosis and autophagy,two forms of cell death that are highly cytotoxic to cancer cells.The aggregation-enhanced photodynamic effect of Ir-TPE significantly enhances the production of ROS,leading to a more pronounced cytotoxic effect.In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate this aggregation-enhanced PDT approach achieves effective in situ tumor eradication.This study not only addresses the limitations of metal complexes in terms of low ROS production due to aggregation but also highlights the potential of this strategy for enhancing ROS production in PDT.

文摘High-resolution seeing through complex scattering media such as turbid water,biological tissues,and mist is a significant challenge because the strong scattering scrambles the light paths and forms the scattering wall.We propose an active polarized iterative optimization approach for high-resolution imaging through complex scattering media.By acquiring a series of sub-polarized images,we can capture the diverse pattern-illuminated images with various high-frequency component information caused by the Brownian motion of complex scattering materials,which are processed using the common-mode rejection of polarization characteristics to extract target information from scattering medium information.Following that,our computational reconstruction technique employs an iterative optimization algorithm that commences with patternilluminated Fourier ptychography for reconstructing the high-resolution scene.It is extremely important that our approach for high-resolution imaging through complex scattering media is not limited by priori information and optical memory effect.The proposed approach is suitable for not only dynamic but also static scattering media,which may find applications in the biomedicine field,such as skin abnormalities,non-invasive blood flow,and superficial tumors.
