The design and synthesis of a microporous construct based on the entrapment of an emissive fluorescein derivative in a zinc 2-methylimidazolate (ZIF-8) metal–organic framework (MOF) is detailed. Synthesis of the MOF in the presence of a fluorophore enables the capture and dispersal of dye molecules within the framework. Within the resulting supramolecular assemblies, the fluorophore components show excellent photophysical properties such as high emission and increased fluorescence lifetime, despite the tendency of the dye to undergo aggregation-caused quenching in the solid-state, as well as a 4-fold enhancement of the fluorophore's photostability. The demonstration that supramolecular events can be invoked to construct solid fluorescent systems from separate components is realized. The encapsulation of the fluorescein in an enclosed subunit of the ZIF-8 framework was modelled using the density-functional tight-binding method. Furthermore, the fluorophore@MOF composite can be internalized by mammalian macrophage cells and transported to lysosomes without disrupting cell viability. In principle, this simple protocol can evolve into a general strategy for intracellular delivery of functional molecular components for targeted bioimaging or theranostic applications.
The complex chemistry of diversity and inclusion: a 30-year synthesis
Authors: Impellizzeri Stefania , Coe Imogen
Published: June 2024

Dr. Margaret-Ann Armour’s career as a research chemist, educator, and advocate spanned more than 40 years. Much of her work took place within a disciplinary culture ignorant of the scholarship supporting organizational change towards inclusive excellence. Her contributions are extensively covered in other articles in this special issue, and her achievements are all the more remarkable given that her colleague, Dr. Gordon Freeman, held gender-biased attitudes that he shared in a peer reviewed article in a national science journal. Three decades later, another Canadian chemist, Dr. Tomáš Hudlický, published a peer reviewed essay in an international chemistry journal that included his views on the negative impacts of diversity initiatives on organic synthesis research. Both articles were retracted, but clearly a faulty and pervasively biased peer review system enabled the distribution of prejudiced opinions that were neither informed by demonstrated expertise, nor supported by data. These two events are reflective of challenges that Dr. Armour faced in her efforts to diversify chemical sciences. We need to build on her critical work to increasing awareness about inclusive excellence in chemistry, as well as educating scientists on what constitutes an informed opinion. Here, we use Freeman and Hudlický incidents as case studies to indicate how pervasive bias can be superficially perceived as scientific scholarship. Furthermore, we use analogies of analytical processes to illustrate how talent gets systemically excluded. Finally, we provide recommendations to chemistry community members for improving outcomes in terms of synthesis of new knowledge, ideas, and solutions, toward leveraging all the available human talent and creating an environment that is both excellent and inclusive.
Molecular strategies to read and write at the nanoscale with far-field optics

Published: June 2024

Diffraction prevents the focusing of ultraviolet and visible radiations within nanoscaled volumes and, as a result, the imaging and patterning of nanostructures with conventional far-field illumination. Specifically, the irradiation of a fluorescent or photosensitive material with focused light results in the simultaneous excitation of multiple chromophores distributed over a large area, relative to the dimensions of single molecules. It follows that the spatial control of fluorescence and photochemical reactions with molecular precision is impossible with conventional illumination configurations. However, the photochemical and photophysical properties of organic chromophores can be engineered to overcome diffraction in combination with patterned or reiterative illumination. These ingenious strategies offer the opportunity to confine excited chromophores within nanoscaled volumes and, therefore, restrict fluorescence or photochemical reactions within subdiffraction areas. Indeed, information can be "read" in the form of fluorescence and "written" in the form of photochemical products with resolution down to the nanometre level on the basis of these innovative approaches. In fact, these promising far-field optical methods permit the convenient imaging of biological samples and fabrication of miniaturized objects with unprecedented resolution and can have long-term and profound implications in biomedical research and information technology.
Sensitized Excited Free-Radical Processes as Read-Write Tools: Impact on Non-Linear Lithographic Processes

Published: June 2024

A prefluorescent radical probe in which a 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (TEMPO) unit is sensitized with visible light via energy transfer from a tethered coumarin dye has been synthesized. The excited TEMPO moiety undergoes hydrogen abstraction from a polymer with concomitant functionalization of the polymeric matrix; this writing process can be reversed thermally. The fluorescent probes can be bleached under high intensity illumination, making these new materials suitable for dual-tone lithography with potential applications in sub-diffraction lithographic imaging.

Several forms of niobium oxide were prepared, including nanostructured mesoporous materials, and their acidity properties were comprehensively investigated and compared with commercially available materials. The composites were characterized by a variety of techniques, including XRD, TEM, N2 adsorption and Hammett acid indicator studies. The acidity of the niobium oxide derivatives was also investigated by the ability of the materials to successfully promote the halochromic ring-opening of an oxazine-coumarin probe that was specifically designed for use in fluorescence imaging studies. The ring-opening reaction was easily monitored using UV-visible, fluorescence and NMR spectroscopy. Single molecule microscopy was employed to gain a more in-depth understanding of the niobium oxide acid catalysis pathway. Using this technique, the rate of niobium oxide mediated protonation was estimated to be 1.8 × 10−13 mol m−2 s−1. Single molecule analysis was also used to obtain a detailed map of Brønsted acid sites on the niobium oxide surface. The active sites, located by multiple blinking events, do not seem to be localized on any area of the material, but rather randomly distributed throughout the solid state surface. As the reaction proceeds, the sites with the highest acidity and accessibility are gradually consumed, making the next tier of acid sites available for reaction. The phenomenon was more closely characterized by using time lapsed reactivity maps.

Integridad moral y medios de comunicación: un reto para el derecho penal
Authors: Del Río González Enrique
Published: June 2024

Este artículo destaca la importancia de la integridad moral para el funcionamiento ético de la sociedad y cómo los medios de comunicación, especialmente las redes sociales, pueden afectarla negativamente. Se señala que la difusión de información a través de estos canales puede dañar la moral y la honra de las personas, influyendo en la formación de opiniones y valores en la sociedad actual digitalizada. Por ello es necesario fortalecer las herramientas legales para restaurar el derecho a la dignidad e integridad moral cuando este se vea comprometido. Y, aun cuando existe la posibilidad de abordar estos temas a través del derecho constitucional y civil, el derecho penal sirve como remedio extremo en casos particularmente graves y persistentes. En este texto también se resalta que el agravio a la integridad moral no solo se manifiesta en delitos como la injuria y la calumnia, sino también en el contexto de los procesos judiciales de interés nacional, en los que, la cobertura mediática puede contribuir a la estigmatización y pérdida de la referida integridad, afectando en ocasiones las decisiones judiciales. Finalmente, se hace hincapié en la necesidad de ahondar en el tema de la integridad moral para garantizar juicios justos e imparciales. Se sugiere que los profesionales involucrados en el proceso penal, como jueces, fiscales y abogados, deben mantener altos estándares éticos para aumentar la confianza en el sistema judicial.

Information regarding follow-up duration after treatment for newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is important. However, a clear endpoint has yet to be established. We totally enrolled 2182 patients newly diagnosed with DLBCL between 2008 and 2018. The median age of the patients was 71 years. All patients were treated with rituximab- and anthracycline-based chemotherapies. Each overall survival (OS) was compared with the age- and sex-matched Japanese general population (GP) data. At a median follow-up of 3.4 years, 985 patients experienced an event and 657 patients died. Patients who achieved an event-free survival (EFS) at 36 months (EFS36) had an OS equivalent to that of the matched GP (standard mortality ratio [SMR], 1.17; P=0.1324), whereas those who achieved an EFS24 did not have an OS comparable to that of the matched GP (SMR, 1.26; P=0.0095). Subgroup analysis revealed that relatively old patients (>60 years), male patients, those with limited-stage disease, those with a good performance status, and those with low levels of soluble interleukin 2 receptor already had a comparable life expectancy to the matched GP at an EFS24. In contrast, relatively young patients had a shorter life expectancy than matched GP, even with an EFS36. In conclusion, an EFS36 was shown to be a more suitable endpoint for newly diagnosed DLBCL patients than an EFS24. Of note, younger patients require a longer EFS period than older patients in order to obtain an equivalent life expectancy to the matched GP.

Fungal infections are among the diverse respiratory tract pathogens and account for a proportion of community acquired and nosocomial pneumonias thereby generating concerns particularly in immunocompromised patients. This study aims to genomically extract and sequence fungal DNA using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) technology for their definitive and confirmatory identification thereby easing off the obstacles in their diagnosis due to similar appearance in their colony and morphology and ultimately determining their infection rates in persons receiving antiretoviral therapy against HIV. Sputa of 100 HIV infected out-patients of a Medical Centre in Jalingo, on anti-retroviral therapy were cultured on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar to isolate fungi species and assess their prevalence and distribution. Fungal colonies characterized culturally and biochemically as Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger were subjected to the BLAST, and the similarities with the biological sequences in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database queried. There were observational variances in the colonial and microscopic appearances of A. flavus and A. niger on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) plates and the microscope respectively. The similarities between the queried and biological sequences in the NCBI database, was almost all (99.7%) thus confirming their identity as Aspergillus flavus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The overall prevalence of fungi infection was 79.0%. More males (80.0%) than females (78.3%) were infected. In both sexes, fungi were most (92.9%) frequently isolated in patients that were between 30 and 39 years and least (64.7%) in those between 15 and 29 years. There was no established pattern (sex- and age- relatedness) of non-concomitant A. flavus and S. cerevisiae in fifty-seven male and female patients in six age categories even though A. flavus occurred more (48.1%) than S. cerevisae (24.1%) and the prevalence was higher (61.4%) in females than in males (38.6%). The high prevalence of these fungi in the study population, with or without symptoms of cough or fungal disease, mandates an early screening of such infected persons so as to reduce further complications and improve treatment.

The number of sexual violence against children in Indonesia continues to increase yearly, and most incidents of sexual violence occur in households and nearby places. They are perpetrated by people close to the child. So parents need to understand sex education for early childhood in order to prevent sexual violence experienced in early childhood. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between access to information obtained by parents on an understanding of early childhood sexual education. The method used in this research is descriptive with a quantitative approach. Data collection was carried out by observation, interviews, and questionnaires given to parents of early childhood at the Delima PAUD unit, Bengkulu City. The results showed that 57.78% of parents most often access information through social media, 33.33% through television, 4.44% through books, newspapers, and magazines, and 4.44% through radio. The data processing results using SPSS show a reasonably close relationship between access to information obtained by parents and understanding of early childhood sexual education. The more quality access to information obtained, the better understanding parents will have. The coefficient of determinant shows that access to information obtained by parents explains the understanding of early childhood sexual education by 19.9%, and other variables explain the remaining 80.1%.
