Among the 125 NMOSD patients, 10 (8.0%) were AQP4- and MOG-ab double positive, and 14 (11.2%) were MOG-ab single positive. The double-positive patients had a multiphase disease course with a high annual relapse rate (P=0.0431), and severe residual disability (P〈0.0001). Of the dou- ble-positive patients, 70% had MS-like brain lesions, more severe edematous, multifocal regions on spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), pronounced decreases of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and atrophy of optic nerves. In contrast, patients with only MOG-ab had a higher ratio of monophasic disease course and mild residual disability. Spinal cord MRI illustrated multifocal cord lesions with mild edema, and brain MRIs showed more lesions around lateral ventricles. NMOSD patients carrying both autoantibodies to AQP4 and MOG existed and exhibited combined features of prototypic NMO and relaps- ing-remitting form of MS, whereas NMOSD with antibodies to MOG only exhibited an "intermediate" phenotype between NMOSD and MS. Our study suggests that antibodies against MOG might be pathogenic in NMOSD patients and that determi- nation of anti-MOG antibodies maybe instructive for management of NMOSD patients.展开更多

Herein, we report on the porous PtPb peanut nanocrystals(porous PtPb PNCs) and porous PtPb octahedron nanocrystals(porous PtPb ONCs) with controllable ratios of Pt/Pb as extremely active and stable catalysts towards WGS reaction. It exhibits the composition-dependent activity with porous PtPb PNCs-40/ZnO being the most active for WGS to H_2, 16.9 times higher than that of the commercial Pt/C. The porous PtPb PNCs-40/ZnO also display outstanding durability with barely activity decay and negligible structure and composition changes after ten successive reaction cycles. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) results reveal that the suitable binding energy of Pt 4f_(7/2) and the high ratio of Pt(0)to Pt(II) in porous PtPb PNCs/ZnO and porous PtPb ONCs/ZnO are crucial for the enhanced WGS activity.The CO stripping results indicate the optimized CO adsorption strength on the Pt surface ensure the excellent WGS activity and the outstanding durability. The present work demonstrates an important advance in tuning the porous metal nanomaterials as highly efficient and durable catalysts for catalysis,energy conversion and beyond.展开更多

文摘Enhancing the lifetime of perovskite solar cells(PSCs)is one of the essential challenges for their industrialization.Although the external encapsulation protects the perovskite device from the erosion of moisture and oxygen under various harsh conditions.However,the perovskite devices still undergo static and dynamic thermal stress during thermal and thermal cycling aging,respectively,resulting in irreversible damage to the morphology,component,and phase of stacked materials.Herein,the viscoelastic polymer polyvinyl butyral(PVB)material is designed onto the surface of perovskite films to form flexible interface encapsulation.After PVB interface encapsulation,the surface modulus of perovskite films decreases by nearly 50%,and the interface stress range under the dynamic temperature field(−40 to 85°C)drops from−42.5 to 64.8 MPa to−14.8 to 5.0 MPa.Besides,PVB forms chemical interactions with FA+cations and Pb^(2+),and the macroscopic residual stress is regulated and defects are reduced of the PVB encapsulated perovskite film.As a result,the optimized device's efficiency increases from 22.21%to 23.11%.Additionally,after 1500 h of thermal treatment(85°C),1000 h of damp heat test(85°C&85%RH),and 250 cycles of thermal cycling test(−40 to 85°C),the devices maintain 92.6%,85.8%,and 96.1%of their initial efficiencies,respectively.

文摘To achieve a lower detection limit has always been a goal of analytical chemists.Herein,we demonstrate the first picomolar level detection capability for Fe3+ion via luminescence detection technology.The results of structural analysis and theoretical calculation show that Fe3+ions are adsorbed on the central node of Eu-DBM(DBM=dibenzoylmethane)sensor in the form of single ion at ultralow concentration.Subsequently,the pathways of photo-induced charge and energy transfer of the obtained Eu-DBM@Fe^(3+)material have been changed,from the initial DBM-to-Eu^(3+)before Fe^(3+)adsorption to the ultimate DBM-to-Fe^(3+)after adsorption process,which quenches the luminescence of Eu3+ion.This work not only obtains the highly sensitive luminescence detection ability,but also innovatively proposes the single-ion adsorption mechanism,both of which have important scientific and application values for the development of more efficient detection agents in the future.

文摘Background:Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is a common disease in human history and one of the main causes of cancer-related death.Insufficient oxygen supply in the tumor microenvironment forces cancer cells to survive in a mild hypoxia environment.Fibroblast growth factor 21(FGF21),a member of the FGF family,has become the focus of public attention due to its outstanding achievements in diabetes and lipid lowering.However,the mechanism of FGF21 in HCC remains unclear.Objective:The aims of this study were to clarify whether or not FGF21 could increase the sensitivity of HCC to sorafenib(SORA)under hypoxia and explore the possible mechanism.Methods:In this study,by using 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide cell viability test,plate clone formation test,western blot analysis,Hoechst/propidium iodide double staining experiment,flow cytometry,quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction,and subcutaneous tumor transplantation in mice,we studied the effects of recombinant human FGF21 combined with SORA on hepatoma cells in vitro and in vivo.FGF21 could enhance the phosphorylation of mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3(Smad3)under anaerobic conditions.When combined with SORA,FGF21 could increase the sensitivity of hepatoma cells to SORA and inhibit the growth and migration of hepatoma cells.Results:FGF21 may increase the sensitivity of HCC to SORA by enhancing the phosphorylation of Smad3 through the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B pathway under hypoxia.Conclusion:Our study suggested the possibility of combination therapy for SORA and FGF21 on HCC.

文摘We characterized a unique group of patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) who carded autoantibod- ies of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) and myelin-oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG). Among the 125 NMOSD patients, 10 (8.0%) were AQP4- and MOG-ab double positive, and 14 (11.2%) were MOG-ab single positive. The double-positive patients had a multiphase disease course with a high annual relapse rate (P=0.0431), and severe residual disability (P〈0.0001). Of the dou- ble-positive patients, 70% had MS-like brain lesions, more severe edematous, multifocal regions on spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), pronounced decreases of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and atrophy of optic nerves. In contrast, patients with only MOG-ab had a higher ratio of monophasic disease course and mild residual disability. Spinal cord MRI illustrated multifocal cord lesions with mild edema, and brain MRIs showed more lesions around lateral ventricles. NMOSD patients carrying both autoantibodies to AQP4 and MOG existed and exhibited combined features of prototypic NMO and relaps- ing-remitting form of MS, whereas NMOSD with antibodies to MOG only exhibited an "intermediate" phenotype between NMOSD and MS. Our study suggests that antibodies against MOG might be pathogenic in NMOSD patients and that determi- nation of anti-MOG antibodies maybe instructive for management of NMOSD patients.

文摘of main observation and conclusion The heterojunction-type structure has shown significant merits in tuning the optical properties and carrier physics.Inspired by the excellent absorption capability of halide perovskite materials for visible light,a series of CsPbBr3/TiO2 heterojunction-type photocatalysts with various all-inorganic-perovskite/TiO2 ratios are successfully fabricated by the ligand-assisted reprecipitation(LARP)method.The heterojunction structure extends the light absorption of TiO2 with good chemical and structural stability.A Pb-O interaction at the CsPbBr3/TiO2 interface is observed by the XPS and confirmed by the TRPL showing improved interface carrier transport and stability.The heterojunction-type catalyst shows drastically enhanced photocatalytic activity towards the direct oxidation of toluene with 02 molecule,as an important reaction for organic chemical synthesis.The optimized sample shows an activity of 2356μmol·g^-1·h^-1 at 75℃,4 times of that of the naked CsPbBr3 nanocrystals,and 3 times of that of the bare TiO2.Based on the investigation with trapping agents,a reaction mechanism is hence proposed suggesting that the photo-generated hole may be involved in the rate-limiting step.This work demonstrates the potential of inorganic halide perovskite-based heterojunction structure for photocatalytic applications.

文摘The water-gas shift(WGS) reaction is an essential industrial reaction for upgrading hydrogen(H2) by removing carbon monoxide(CO), while highly efficient platinum(Pt)-based catalysts for WGS with simultaneously high activity and stability are still yet to be developed due to the poisoning issue during the reaction. Herein, we report on the porous PtPb peanut nanocrystals(porous PtPb PNCs) and porous PtPb octahedron nanocrystals(porous PtPb ONCs) with controllable ratios of Pt/Pb as extremely active and stable catalysts towards WGS reaction. It exhibits the composition-dependent activity with porous PtPb PNCs-40/ZnO being the most active for WGS to H_2, 16.9 times higher than that of the commercial Pt/C. The porous PtPb PNCs-40/ZnO also display outstanding durability with barely activity decay and negligible structure and composition changes after ten successive reaction cycles. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) results reveal that the suitable binding energy of Pt 4f_(7/2) and the high ratio of Pt(0)to Pt(II) in porous PtPb PNCs/ZnO and porous PtPb ONCs/ZnO are crucial for the enhanced WGS activity.The CO stripping results indicate the optimized CO adsorption strength on the Pt surface ensure the excellent WGS activity and the outstanding durability. The present work demonstrates an important advance in tuning the porous metal nanomaterials as highly efficient and durable catalysts for catalysis,energy conversion and beyond.

文摘Background:Data on the immunogenicity and safety of heterologous immunization schedules are inconsistent.This study aimed to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of homologous and heterologous immunization schedules.Methods:Multiple databases with relevant studies were searched with an end date of October 31,2021,and a website including a series of Coronavirus disease 2019 studies was examined for studies before March 31,2022.Randomized controlled trials(RCTs)that compared different heterologous and homologous regimens among adults that reported immunogenicity and safety outcomes were reviewed.Primary outcomes included neutralizing antibodies against the original strain and serious adverse events(SAEs).A network meta-analysis(NMA)was conducted using a random-effects model.Results:In all,11 RCTs were included in the systematic review,and nine were ultimately included in the NMA.Among participants who received two doses of CoronaVac,another dose of mRNA or a non-replicating viral vector vaccine resulted in a significantly higher level of neutralizing antibody than a third CoronaVac 600 sino unit(SU);a dose of BNT162b2 induced the highest geometric mean ratio(GMR)of 15.24,95%confidence interval[CI]:9.53–24.39.Following one dose of BNT162b2 vaccination,a dose of mRNA-1273 generated a significantly higher level of neutralizing antibody than BNT162b2 alone(GMR=1.32;95%CI:1.06–1.64),NVX-CoV2373(GMR=1.60;95%CI:1.16–2.21),or ChAdOx1(GMR=1.80;95%CI:1.25–2.59).Following one dose of ChAdOx1,a dose of mRNA-1273 was also more effective for improving antibody levels than ChAdOx1(GMR=11.09;95%CI:8.36–14.71)or NVX-CoV2373(GMR=2.87;95%CI:1.08–3.91).No significant difference in the risk for SAEs was found in any comparisons.Conclusions:Relative to vaccination with two doses of CoronaVac,a dose of BNT162b2 as a booster substantially enhances immunogenicity reactions and has a relatively acceptable risk for SAEs relative to other vaccines.For primary vaccination,schedules including mRNA vaccines induce a greater immune response.However,the comparatively higher risk for local and systemic adverse events introduced by mRNA vaccines should be noted.Registration:PROSPERO;https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/;No.CRD42021278149.
