A novel strategy of constructing 2D supramolecular organic framework sensor for the identification of toxic metal ions

Two novel two-dimensional(2D)supramolecular organic frameworks were fabricated in water based on the encapsulation-enhanced donor-acceptor interaction between the methyl viologen(MV)units,methoxy naphthyl(MN)units,and CB[8].The tetraphenylethylene(TPE)derivatives 1 with four MV units were employed as rigid building blocks and the two MN units modified oligoethylene glycol derivatives 2 and 3 served as flexible edges,respectively.The obtained two SOFs have obvious sheet-like structures and exhibit fluorescence emission at 350-500 nm.In addition,these two SOFs were employed for the luminescent detection of Cr(Ⅵ)and Mn(Ⅶ)in aqueous solutions,and the detection limits of CrO_(4)^(2-),Cr_(2)_(O)_(7)^(2-),and MnO_(4)
were calculated in a very low concentration range,indicating that these two SOFs can serve as a potential sensor for Cr(Ⅵ)and Mn(Ⅶ)detection in water.This work constructs two SOFs in an aqueous solution through a facile method and further enriches the applications of SOFs.

Combination of propofol and dezocine to improve safety and efficacy of anesthesia for gastroscopy and colonoscopy in adults: A randomized, double-blind, controlled trial

BACKGROUND Gastroscopy and colonoscopy are important and common endoscopic methods for the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal and colorectal diseases.However,endoscopy is usually associated with adverse reactions such as nervousness,nausea,vomiting,choking cough,and pain.Severe discomfort,such as vomiting,coughing,or body movement,may lead to aggravation of a preexisting condition or even interruption of examination or treatment,especially in some critically ill patients with physiological dysfunction(e.g.,cardiovascular or respiratory disease).The optimal methods for inducing analgesia and sedation in endoscopy are areas of ongoing debate;nevertheless,determining an appropriate regimen of sedation and analgesia is important.AIM To evaluate the effects of propofol combined with dezocine,sufentanil,or fentanyl in painless gastroscopy and colonoscopy.METHODS Four hundred patients were randomly assigned to one of four groups for anesthesia:intravenous dezocine,sufentanil,fentanyl,or saline.Propofol was administered intravenously for induction and maintenance of anesthesia.RESULTS The dosage of propofol in the dezocine group was significantly lower than those in other groups(P<0.01).Bispectral index and Steward score(0-6 points,an unresponsive,immobile patient whose airway requires maintenance to a fully recovered patient)after eye opening in the dezocine group were significantly higher than those in other groups(P<0.01).Awakening time and postoperative pain score(0-10 points,no pain to unbearable pain)in the dezocine group were significantly lower than those in other groups(P<0.01).Mean arterial pressure and pulse oxygen saturation in the dezocine group were significantly more stable at various time points(before dosing,disappearance of eyelash reflex,and wakeup)than those in other groups(P<0.01).The rates of hypopnea,jaw thrust,body movements,and usage of vasoactive drugs in the dezocine group were significantly lower than those in other groups(P<0.01).Additionally,the rates of reflex coughing,nausea,and vomiting were not statistically different between the four groups(P>0.05).CONCLUSION The combination of propofol and dezocine can decrease propofol dosage,reduce the risk for the development of inhibitory effects on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems,increase analgesic effect,decrease body movement,shorten awakening time,and improve awakening quality.

Delay Effect on Coherent Transfer of Optical Frequency Based on a Triple-Pass Scheme

We demonstrate a triple-pass scheme for coherent transfer of optical frequency and the delay effect on the fiber phase noise compensation. It is theoretically proved that the delay effect consists of both fiber delay and servo delay. The delay effect confines the servo bandwidth within 1/8 and induces a residual fiber phase noise after noise compensation. For a 25-km-long fiber, the servo bandwidth is found to be around 1 k Hz, and the fiber phase noise is suppressed approaching to the theoretical limitation. The triple-pass scheme enables the simultaneous transfer of optical frequency to multiple remote users. The performance of noise compensator in the triple-pass scheme can achieve a similar level result compared with that in the double-pass scheme.

Nitrogen-doped carbon dots as photocatalysts for organic synthesis:Effect of nitrogen content on catalytic activity

Regulating the doping of carbon dots(CDs)and the generation of reactive oxygen species(ROS)is essential to selectively control their application in photocatalytic organic reactions.This study successfully synthesized five newly developed nitrogen-doped carbon dots(CDs 1-5)with varying nitrogen content,which have the ability to generate ROS when exposed to light radiation,specifically superoxide anion radicals(O_(2)•-)and singlet oxygen(^(1)O_(2)).The utilization of the aforementioned nitrogen-doped CDs as photocatalysts enables the realization of their potential in facilitating efficient photocatalytic organic conversion.Simultaneously,it was observed that the photocatalytic efficiency exhibited a gradual decrease when the nitrogen content in the CDs increased.In order to provide more evidence for this claim,we employed a set of five CDs in the context of photocatalytic dehalogenation ofα-bromoacetophenone,photocatalytic oxidative coupling reaction of amines to imines,photooxidation reaction of sulfides to sulfoxides,and cross-dehydrogenation coupling(CDC)reaction,in which it was further observed that there was a steady decrease in the yields of photocatalytic organic reactions as the nitrogen content in CDs increased.Notably,CDs 1 exhibited the best photocatalytic efficiency,thereby reinforcing the hypothesis that a higher nitrogen content corresponds to a decreased catalytic efficiency.This study not only investigates the impact of the nitrogen content on the catalytic performance of CDs,but also offers valuable insights for the future utilization of CDs for photocatalytic organic reactions in water.

Perianal tuberculous ulcer with active pulmonary,intestinal and orificial tuberculosis:A case report

BACKGROUND Orificial tuberculosis is a rare type of tuberculosis,which is easy to be misdiagnosed,and can cause great damage to the perianal skin and mucosa.Early diagnosis can avoid further erosion of the perianal muscle tissue by tuberculosis bacteria.CASE SUMMARY Here,we report a case of disseminated tuberculosis in a 62-year-old male patient with a perianal tuberculous ulcer and active pulmonary tuberculosis,intestinal tuberculosis and orificial tuberculosis.This is an extremely rare case of cutaneous tuberculosis of the anus,which was misdiagnosed for nearly a year.The patient received conventional treatment in other medical institutions,but specific treatment was delayed.Ultimately,proper diagnosis and treatment with standard anti-tuberculosis drugs for one year led to complete cure.CONCLUSION For skin ulcers that do not heal with repeated conventional treatments,consider ulcers caused by rare bacteria,such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
