    Abstract In this study, we introduce a novel series of gemini surfactants with amide groups (HDAB, HDAHD, and HDAPX) and use these surfactants to decorate sodium vermiculite (Na-Vt) for the adsorption of Ibuprofen (IBP) from wastewater. Exceptional IBP uptake on organo-vermiculites (organo-Vts) is obtained, with maximum adsorption capacities reaching 249.87, 342.21, and 460.15 mg/g for HDAB-Vt, HDAHD-Vt, and HDAPX-Vt (

    Abstract Conjugated polymers (CPs) have been developed quickly as an emerging functional material with applications in optical and electronic devices, owing to their highly electron-delocalized backbones and versatile side groups for facile processibility, high mechanical strength, and environmental stability. CPs exhibit multistimuli responsive behavior and fluorescence quenching properties by incorporating azobenzene functionality into their molecular structures. Over the past few decades, significant progress has been made in developing functional azobenzene-based conjugated polymers (azo-CPs), utilizing diverse molecular design strategies and synthetic pathways. This article comprehensively reviews the rapidly evolving research field of azo-CPs, focusing on the structural characteristics and synthesis methods of general azo-CPs, as well as the applications of charged azo-CPs, specifically azobenzene-based conjugated polyelectrolytes (azo-CPEs). Based on their molecular structures, azo-CPs can be broadly categorized into three primary types: linear CPs with azobenzene incorporated into the side chain, linear CPs with azobenzene integrated into the main chain, and branched CPs containing azobenzene moieties. These systems are promising for biomedical applications in biosensing, bioimaging, targeted protein degradation, and cellular apoptosis.

    Abstract How to play the role of humanistic quality education in Material major courses? This paper discusses the design ideas and specific implementation methods of integrating Curriculum humanistic quality into the teaching of material science from three aspects: curriculum knowledge objectives and ability objective, strategies of curriculum teaching methods, course expected learning results. After humanistic quality teaching reform of the basic course of material science, professional knowledge points and ideological and political elements are integrated, and the teaching platform, students' real feelings and the power of humanistic quality elements are coordinated.

    Abstract Phenolic acids (PAs) can be derived from lignin, and their value-added transformations provide a good renewable source for arenes. The halogenase-catalyzed decarboxylative halogenation of PAs is a key step in the biosynthesis of many halogenated natural products. Inspired by halogenase, herein we present a synthetically useful tungstate-catalyzed decarboxylative halogenation of electron-deficient (hetero)phenolic acids under mild conditions, based on which the antibiotic bromophene and its analogues were prepared concisely. Mechanism studies support the halogenation–decarboxylation procedure, but the decarboxylation–halogenation pathway cannot be excluded. Additionally, the chloride can reverse the selectivity between bromination and iodination in this reaction, somehow providing a useful perspective for the halide selectivity in vanadium-dependent haloperoxidase in seawater.

    Abstract Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) micropillar arrays are widely used in research labs and engineering fields as analytical tools for various purposes. When the micropillar length or density surpasses a critical value, micropillars tend to collapse with each other and become unusable. Restoring collapsed PDMS micropillars typically involves the use of low surface tension solvents and ultrasound sonication, but such approach has received little success to date. In this work, we examined the effectiveness of different types of solvents for restoring collapsed PDMS micropillar arrays and show that the swelling ratio of PDMS in selected solvents constitutes an important factor in the effectiveness of restoring collapsed PDMS micropillars. Our results could be a promoter in recycling PDMS micropillar arrays and achieving economic and social benefits.

    Abstract Objective: Patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) are susceptible to venous thromboembolism (VTE) including pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) due to a variety of risk factors. There are few studies regarding the predictive value of D-dimer for VTE in patients with sICH, and the anticoagulation therapy for these patients are still controversial. The objective of this study is to study the independent predictors of VTE in sICH patients. The rates of anticoagulation therapy and hemorrhagic evens were also investigated.
    Methods: Retrospective review of patients with sICH admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University from 2012 to 2022 and who developed VTE (PE and/or DVT) during hospitalization. A similar number of sICH patients without VTE were randomly selected into the control group. A variety of clinical characteristics were compared between groups. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify independent predictors of VTE in patients with sICH.
    Results: A total of 270 sICH patients were enrolled in this study, including 132 patients with VTE and 138 patients without VTE. After adjusting for other confounders, the maximum level of D-dimer during hospitalization (odds ratio [OR] 1.061, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.014-1.110), Glasgow coma scale (GCS) on admission (OR 1.347, 95 % CI 1.110-1.634), modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at discharge (OR 2.578, 95 % CI 1.546-4.298), neutrophil count (OR 1.056, 95 % CI 1.025-1.088) and hospitalization time (OR 1.089, 95 % CI 1.018-1.164) were independently associated with the sICH patients who developed VTE. The maximum D-dimer plasma level of 5.655 mg/L during hospitalization was the optimal threshold to indicate sICH patients developing VTE with a sensitivity of 83.3 % and a specificity of 67.4 %. No patients with sICH received prophylactic anticoagulation therapy against VTE in the present study. A total of 57.6 % (76/132) of the sICH patients with VTE were administered anticoagulant therapy and the rate of hemorrhagic complication was 9.2 %.
    Conclusions: sICH patients with increased levels of D-dimer, higher GCS scores, higher mRS scores, increased neutrophil counts and longer hospitalization time are more likely to develop VTE complications. Routine and serial monitoring of the D-dimer values may be useful in patients with sICH, and VTE should be considered when the plasma level of D-dimer increases to 5.655 mg/L during hospitalization. In tertiary hospitals in China, the rate of sICH patients with VTE receiving anticoagulation treatment is low. Further studies are necessary to explore the safety and efficacy of VTE therapeutic anticoagulation in patients with sICH.

    Abstract Edwardsiella piscicida, an infectious bacterium, causes great economic losses to the aquaculture industry. Immersion bath which is the closest way to how the fish infect bacterial pathogens in the natural environment is an effective route of artificial infection. In this study, the dynamic process of E. piscicida infection, in the spotted sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus) was evaluated via the immersion bath. The results showed that soaking the spotted sea bass with 3 × 10⁶ CFU mL⁻¹ E. piscicida for 30 min could artificially induce edwardsiellosis. The higher culture temperature (28.5 ± 0.5°C) or the longer bath time (30 min) would lead to higher mortality of fish. E.piscicida first invaded the gill, then entered the blood circulation to infect the spleen and kidney, where it is colonized, and gradually multiplied in the liver and brain. Meanwhile, the fluorescence in situ hybridization showed that the localization of E. piscicida in the gill and foregut after the immersion challenge proceeded from the exterior to the interior. The invasion of pathogens triggers the immune response of fish and causes tissue damage to the host. The quantitative real‐time PCR results displayed an increase in the relative expression level of immune genes (NK‐lysin, LZM, IgM and IgD). Otherwise, the most notable histopathological changes of the infected spotted sea bass were multifocal necrosis. Findings in this study broaden our understanding of the infection conditions of E. piscicida and its pathogenicity to the spotted sea bass.
