    Abstract A multifunctional optical fiber sensor based upconversion luminescence (UCL) for synchronous temperature and curvature sensing was proposed. The sensor was fabricated by assembling UCL nanoparticles doped by rare earth (RE) ions in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) materials. Temperature measurements were achieved through the fluorescent intensity ratio (FIR) technique with the dual green UC luminescence generated. The fabricated sensor provided the temperature sensitivity of 714.82 K-1 with excellent linearity (R2=0.997) at a temperature range of 303 to 423 K. In the lower temperature region, temperature measurement based on the FIR technology is almost independent on the fluorescence intensity of a 525 nm emission peak. Hence, deformation produced by the sensor through bending results in detectable and reversible changes in its reflected light, allowing the curvature to be simultaneously measured. The sensor can monitor temperature and curvature simultaneously, providing a new optical alternative for multi-parameters monitoring in the future.

    Abstract Jian Pi Qing Gan Yin (JPQGY) has been used clinically to relieve non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in China for decades; however, the underlying mechanisms of JPQGY remain unclear. We evaluated the effects and mechanisms of JPQGY and hepatic steatosis caused by the middle stage of 13-week-high-fat-diet-induced NAFLD in mice. Different dosages of JPQGY (5.5, 11, and 22 g/kg/day) were administered to NAFLD mice simultaneously. Body weight, body mass index (BMI), and liver lipid- and inflammation-related serum indicators were measured enzymatically. Liver samples were stained with Oil Red O and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Next, we performed a network pharmacology analysis and verified eight target genes mapping to NAFLD-related lipid metabolism pathways. The mRNA/protein expression was analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and western blotting. JPQGY significantly relieved histological damage (steatosis-inflammation-fibrosis), prevented the downregulation of AMPK and Pparα, and upregulated LXRα, Srebp-1c, F4/80, Nf-κb, and Cyp2e1 in the HFD-induced NAFLD mouse model. The present results suggest that chronic treatment with JPQGY ameliorated HFD-induced NAFLD in mice by targeting the first and second phases of hepatic steatosis by stimulating the AMPK/PPARα pathway and inhibiting the LXRα/Srebp1/Nf-κb pathway. Our findings provide evidence that supports the clinical use of this formula for high-fat diet-induced fatty liver disease.

    Abstract Objectives: Several studies have suggested that the gut-liver axis is closely related to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study was designed to conduct a meta-analysis based on a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to systematically evaluate the efficacy of probiotics in the treatment of NAFLD.
    Methods: This study carried out a literature search of published scientific data (up to April 2021) on probiotic therapies of NAFLD. The quality of the included literature was evaluated, and the corresponding data were extracted using the RevMan5.4 software.
    Results: A total of 9 randomized clinical trials involving 352 patients with NAFLD were included in this study. Results of the meta-analysisstudy showed that probiotic therapy group have significant reduction in the levels of serum indices: alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST) and total cholesterol (TC) in comparison with the control group. Probiotic therapy was not associated with changes in body mass index (BMI) homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) Subgroup analyses of BMI indicated that three or more composite probiotics or probiotic treatment for more than three months can significantly reduce the BMI level.
    Conclusion: This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated that modulating gut microbiota may be utilized as an effective method to improve liver function and reduce blood lipid levels in patients with NAFLD.

    Abstract Lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are rising as prospect nanomaterials for constructing polarization-sensitive narrowband near-infrared (NIR) photodetectors (PDs), which have attracted significant interest in astronomy, object identification, and remote sensing. However, polarized narrowband NIR photodetection and imaging based on UCNPs have yet to be realized. Herein, we demonstrate that NIR photodetection and imaging are capable of sensing polarized light as well as affording wavelength-selective detection at 1550 nm by integrating directional-Au@Ag nanorods (D-Au@Ag NRs) with NaYF

    Abstract A favorable process that utilizing upconversion (UC) luminescence to enhance the photocatalytic property for H2 evolution is designed. In this work, TiO2:Er3+, Yb3+ nanosheets (NTs) are synthesized through facile solvothermal method. With a 980-nm laser excitation, the UC luminescence bands at about 522, 546 and 625 nm separately corresponding to the energy-level transitions of 2H11/2, 4S3/2 → 4I15/2 and 4F9/2 → 4I15/2 are detected in TiO2:Er3+, Yb3+ NTs, which coincide with the absorption band of W18O49 nano-urchins (NUs). It is worth noting that a quasi-core/shell heterostructure (QCSH) of TiO2:Er3+, Yb3+@W18O49 is designed and prepared as a photocatalyst on account of localized surface plasmon resonance action of W18O49. Photocurrent tests show TiO2:Er3+, Yb3+@W18O49 QCSHs possess outstanding charge separation ability comparing with W18O49 NUs and TiO2:Er3+, Yb3+ NTs under irradiation of 980-nm laser. Therefore, we probe photocatalytic property of H2 evolution from ammonia borane (BH3NH3). The H2 yield of TiO2:Er3+, Yb3+@W18O49 QCSHs suggests 2.5 times, 8.9 times and 26.6 times improved than that of W18O49 NUs, TiO2:Er3+, Yb3+ NTs and BH3NH3 separately. Furthermore, the focused natural sunlight is employed as excitation source, TiO2:Er3+, Yb3+@W18O49 QCSHs exhibits 1.7 times, 2.7 times and 157 times higher H2 production than that of W18O49 NUs, TiO2:Er3+, Yb3+ NTs and BH3NH3, which offers a novel method for photocatalytic H2 production and solving energy issues.

    Abstract The NaYF4:Yb,Er/W18O49 heterostructure is an excellent photocatalyst that can promote H2 evolution by hydrolyzing BH3NH3 under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation. At the same time, the photothermal effect can be produced in photocatalytic reactions, which will cause the luminescence efficiency and photocatalytic activity to decrease. Determining how to take advantage of that photothermal effect becomes a major problem. Moreover, the energy transfer (ET) process from Er ions to Nd ions in NaYF4 co-doped with Yb/Er/Nd ions (NaYF4:Yb,Er,Nd) occurred at high temperature. Herein, the NaYF4:Yb,Er,Nd/W18O49 quasi-core-shell heterostructure was designed to achieve better H2 production capacity; this heterostructure exhibits a 1.5-fold enhancement of photocatalytic activity for H2 evolution as compared with the NaYF4:Yb,Er/W18O49 heterostructure. This study provides a new way to explore the catalytic activities in the NIR field for application in the development of a sustainable energy source.
