An Ester-Substituted Semiconducting Polymer with Efficient Nonradiative Decay Enhances NIR-II Photoacoustic Performance for Monitoring of Tumor Growth

Photoacoustic agents have been of vital importance for improving the imaging contrast and reliability against self-interference from endogenous substances. Herein, we synthesized a series of thiadiazoloquinoxaline (TQ)-based semiconducting polymers (SPs) with a broad absorption covering from NIR-I to NIR-II regions. Among them, the excited s-BDT-TQE, a repeating unit of SPs, shows a large dihedral angle and narrow adiabatic energy as well as low radiative decay, attributing to its strongly electron-deficient ester-substituted TQ-segment. In addition, its more vigorous molecular motions trigger a higher reorganization energy that further yields an efficient photoinduced nonradiative decay, which has been carefully examined and understood by theoretical calculation. Thus, BDT-TQE SP-cored nanoparticles with twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) feature exhibit a high NIR-II photothermal conversion efficiency (61.6 %) and preferable PA tracking of in situ hepatic tumor growth for more than 20 days. This study highlights a unique strategy for constructing efficient NIR-II photoacoustic agents via TICT-enhanced PNRD effect, advancing their applications for in vivo bioimaging.

Insulin-positive ductal cells do not migrate into preexisting islets during pregnancy

The adult pancreatic ductal system was suggested to harbor facultative beta-cell progenitors similar to the embryonic pancreas, and the appearance of insulin-positive duct cells has been used as evidence for natural duct-to-beta-cell reprogramming. Nevertheless, the phenotype and fate of these insulin-positive cells in ducts have not been determined. Here, we used a cell-tagging dye, CFDA-SE, to permanently label pancreatic duct cells through an intraductal infusion technique. Representing a time when significant increases in beta-cell mass occur, pregnancy was later induced in these CFDA-SE-treated mice to assess the phenotype and fate of the insulin-positive cells in ducts. We found that a small portion of CFDA-SE-labeled duct cells became insulin-positive, but they were not fully functional beta-cells based on the in vitro glucose response and the expression levels of key beta-cell genes. Moreover, these insulin-positive cells in ducts expressed significantly lower levels of genes associated with extracellular matrix degradation and cell migration, which may thus prevent their budding and migration into preexisting islets. A similar conclusion was reached through analysis of the Gene Expression Omnibus database for both mice and humans. Together, our data suggest that the contribution of duct cells to normal beta-cells in adult islets is minimal at best.Subject terms: Transdifferentiation, Gestational diabetes     

生长气压对分子束外延β-Ga2O3薄膜特性的影响

本文采用分子束外延技术在具有6°斜切角的c面蓝宝石衬底上外延β-Ga₂O₃薄膜,系统研究了生长气压对薄膜特性的影响。X射线衍射谱和表面形貌分析表明,不同生长气压下所外延的薄膜表面平整,均具有(201)择优取向。并且,其结晶质量和生长速率均随生长气压增大而逐渐提高。通过X射线光电子能谱分析发现,生长气压增大使得氧空位的浓度大幅下降,高价态Ga比例增大,最终使得O/Ga原子数之比接近理想Ga₂O₃材料的化学计量比值。利用Tauc公式和乌尔巴赫带尾模型进行计算,结果表明随着生长气压的增大,样品的光学带隙由4.94 eV增加到5.00 eV,乌尔巴赫能量由0.47 eV下降到0.32 eV,证明了生长气压的增大有利于降低薄膜中的缺陷密度,提高薄膜晶体质量。     

Perturbation of symmetries of Birkhoff system and adiabatic invariants

The perturbation of symmetries of the free Birkhoff system under small excitation is discussed. The concept of high-order adiabatic invariant is presented, and the form of adiabatic invariants and the conditions for their existence are given. Then these results are generalized to the constrained Birkhoff system. One example is presented to illustrate these results.

Ultra-sensitive Detecting OPs-Isocarbophos Using Photoinduced Regeneration of Aptamer-based Electrochemical Sensors

Residues related to organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) may be hazardous to food and environmental safety. Isocarbophos (ICP) is one of the most highly toxic OPs that had been banned in China and strictly limited in many other countries for use on vegetables and fruits. However, illegal use often occurs in agricultural production due to its good control effect. Developing a sensitive method is an urgent need to determine trace ICP. Herein, an electrochemical aptasensor was fabricated for ICP detection, which combines the advantages of the high affinity of aptamer with photo-triggered azobenzene to realize the sensor's regeneration. In this work, the aptamer was labeled with ferrocene group (Fc) at the 3′-end and modified on the surface of the electrode as a recognition element for specific detection of ICP. Two azobenzene groups were inserted at the 5′-end of the aptamer. Upon ultraviolet light irradiation, the configuration of azobenzene altered from trans-to-cis, and two units of ICP dissociated with aptamer by the unfolding of its hairpin structure to achieve the sensor's regeneration. Based on this strategy, the current response recorded of the aptasensor increases with the increasing of ICP concentration. The differential pulse voltammogram (DPV) signals are linear with the logarithm of ICP concentration in a range from 10 pM to 10 μM. The limit of detection is 3 pM (S/N=3). After 6 times of regeneration, the signal intensity for ICP could keep over 95 % to the first time of detection. The aptasensor was also successfully applied to the ICP analysis in tomato to validate stability and applicability, with an average recovery rate of 76.2 %–119.3 % and a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.8 %–10.7 %. To the best of our knowledge, this study was the first time using a simple incubation procedure, to realize sensitive and reversible detection of ICP, meanwhile which expected to be applied to the ICP's toxicological research.
