Published: December 2022

AbstractAimsThe aims of the present study were to, for both a full‐dose protocol and an ultra‐low dose (ULD) protocol, compare the image quality of chest CT examinations reconstructed using TrueFidelity (Standard kernel) with corresponding examinations reconstructed using ASIR‐V (Lung kernel) and to evaluate if post‐processing using an edge‐enhancement filter affects the noise level, spatial resolution and subjective image quality of clinical images reconstructed using TrueFidelity.MethodsA total of 25 patients were examined with both a full‐dose protocol and an ULD protocol using a GE Revolution APEX CT system (GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, USA). Three different reconstructions were included in the study: ASIR‐V 40%, DLIR‐H, and DLIR‐H with additional post‐processing using an edge‐enhancement filter (DLIR‐H + E2). Five observers assessed image quality in two separate visual grading characteristics (VGC) studies. The results from the studies were statistically analyzed using VGC Analyzer. Quantitative evaluations were based on determination of two‐dimensional power spectrum (PS), contrast‐to‐noise ratio (CNR), and spatial resolution in the reconstructed patient images.ResultsFor both protocols, examinations reconstructed using TrueFidelity were statistically rated equal to or significantly higher than examinations reconstructed using ASIR‐V 40%, but the ULD protocol benefitted more from TrueFidelity. In general, no differences in observer ratings were found between DLIR‐H and DLIR‐H + E2. For the three investigated image reconstruction methods, ASIR‐V 40% showed highest noise and spatial resolution and DLIR‐H the lowest, while the CNR was highest in DLIR‐H and lowest in ASIR‐V 40%.ConclusionThe use of TrueFidelity for image reconstruction resulted in higher ratings on subjective image quality than ASIR‐V 40%. The benefit of using TrueFidelity was larger for the ULD protocol than for the full‐dose protocol. Post‐processing of the TrueFidelity images using an edge‐enhancement filter resulted in higher image noise and spatial resolution but did not affect the subjective image quality.

Published: December 2022

AbstractThe main aim of the study was to replicate and extend van Prooijen's findings on how education and its outcomes (cognitive complexity, subjective social standing, self‐esteem, a feeling of control and powerlessness, cognitive reflection, epistemic curiosity and scientific reasoning) predict conspiracy beliefs. In two studies (Study 1: N = 497, Mage = 49.06, SDage = 14.92; Study 2: N = 482, Mage = 47.45, SDage = 15.87), subjective socioeconomic status and cognitive reflection (Study 1) and a feeling of powerlessness and scientific reasoning (Study 2) contributed to the negative relationship between education level and belief in conspiracy theories. These results showed the connection of education to socioeconomic status, a feeling of control and analytic thinking (cognitive reflection, scientific reasoning) and their power to reduce conspiracy beliefs.
Selective Triplet–Singlet Förster‐Resonance Energy Transfer for Bright Red Afterglow Emission

Published: December 2022

AbstractFörster‐resonance energy transfer (FRETT‐S) from the lowest excited triplet state (T1) of a donating sensitizer to a fluorescence acceptor can be used to obtain bright room‐temperature afterglow emission at long wavelengths. However, the energy transfer from the lowest excited singlet state of the donor to the acceptor is an undesirable deactivation pathway that prevents FRETT‐S. Herein, heteroatoms in chromophores are shown to allow selective and efficient FRETT‐S for enhanced triplet emission for bright room‐temperature afterglow emission at long wavelengths. Different transition characteristics between the lowest singlet excited state and triplet states in heteroatom‐containing chromophores accelerate triplet generation, enabling near‐zero fluorescence yields. Out‐of‐plane vibrations of the heteroatoms in aromatic fused rings greatly enhance the radiative rate from T1 by a factor of 88 relative to non‐heteroatom‐containing fused chromophore. The compatibility of the near‐zero fluorescence and the enhanced triplet emission in a heteroatom‐containing fused chromophore enable selective and efficient FRETT‐S pathways, resulting in room‐temperature red afterglow emission with a yield of 17%. The bright emission at long‐wavelengths allows distinguishable, multiple spectral signals in ambient white light.

AbstractChalcogenide‐based semiconductors have recently emerged as promising candidates for optoelectronic applications, mainly benefiting from their facile and low‐cost processability, chemical versatility, and tunable optoelectronic properties. Despite the recent success of chalcogenide‐based thin‐film photovoltaics, they have been barely leveraged in photodetection, mainly due to the complicated charge transport related to the trap states. In addition, most of the chalcogenide photodetectors are reported for broadband, visible photodetection, which is facile but lacks of impact for real applications. However, it is also possible to modulate the charge carrier dynamics of chalcogenide‐based materials, and devise novel devices, which can possess extra compelling features. These possibilities provide strong incentives for a detailed study on the chalcogenides‐based narrowband photodetectors, which are achieved by a filterless, charge collection narrowing strategy. The optimized narrowband photodetectors also exhibit extremely fast‐response (≈240 ns), relatively low dark current and noise, large linear dynamic range, and most importantly tunable spectral discrimination covering the whole range from UV to NIR. These devices also demonstrate great potential for imaging and communication.

AbstractDuring solid‐state calcination, with increasing temperature, materials undergo complex phase transitions with heterogeneous solid‐state reactions and mass transport. Precise control of the calcination chemistry is therefore crucial for synthesizing state‐of‐the‐art Ni‐rich layered oxides (LiNi1‐x‐yCoxMnyO2, NRNCM) as cathode materials for lithium‐ion batteries. Although the battery performance depends on the chemical heterogeneity during NRNCM calcination, it has not yet been elucidated. Herein, through synchrotron‐based X‐ray, mass spectrometry microscopy, and structural analyses, it is revealed that the temperature‐dependent reaction kinetics, the diffusivity of solid‐state lithium sources, and the ambient oxygen control the local chemical compositions of the reaction intermediates within a calcined particle. Additionally, it is found that the variations in the reducing power of the transition metals (i.e., Ni, Co, and Mn) determine the local structures at the nanoscale. The investigation of the reaction mechanism via imaging analysis provides valuable information for tuning the calcination chemistry and developing high‐energy/power density lithium‐ion batteries.

AbstractUpgrading carbon dioxide/monoxide to multi‐carbon C2+ products using renewable electricity offers one route to more sustainable fuel and chemical production. One of the most appealing products is acetate, the profitable electrosynthesis of which demands a catalyst with higher efficiency. Here, a coordination polymer (CP) catalyst is reported that consists of Cu(I) and benzimidazole units linked via Cu(I)‐imidazole coordination bonds, which enables selective reduction of CO to acetate with a 61% Faradaic efficiency at −0.59 volts versus the reversible hydrogen electrode at a current density of 400 mA cm−2 in flow cells. The catalyst is integrated in a cation exchange membrane‐based membrane electrode assembly that enables stable acetate electrosynthesis for 190 h, while achieving direct collection of concentrated acetate (3.3 molar) from the cathodic liquid stream, an average single‐pass utilization of 50% toward CO‐to‐acetate conversion, and an average acetate full‐cell energy efficiency of 15% at a current density of 250 mA cm−2.

AbstractLithium‐rich antiperovskites (LiRAPs) solid electrolytes have attracted extensive interest due to their advantages of structural tunability, mechanical flexibility, and low cost. However, LiRAPs are instinctively hygroscopic and suffer from decomposition in air, which not only diversifies their electrochemical performances in present reports but also hinders their application in all‐solid‐state lithium batteries (ASSLBs). Herein, the origin of the hygroscopicity, and also the effect of the hygroscopicity on the electrochemical performances of Li3−x(OHx)Cl are systematically investigated. Li3−x(OHx)Cl is demonstrated to be unstable in the air and prone to decompose into LiOH and LiCl. Nevertheless, with fluorine doping on chlorine sites, the hygroscopicity of LiRAPs is suppressed by weakening the intermolecular hydrogen bond between LiRAPs and H2O, forming a moisture‐resistive Li3−x(OHx)Cl0.9F0.1. Taking advantage of its low melting point (274 °C), two prototypes of ASSLBs are assembled in the ambient air by means of co‐coating sintering and melt‐infiltration. With LiRAPs as the solder, low‐temperature sintering of the ASSLBs with low interfacial resistance is demonstrated as feasible. The understanding of the hygroscopic behavior of LiRAPs and the integration of the moisture‐resistive LiRAPs with ASSLBs provide an effective way toward the fabrication of the ASSLBs.

AbstractImmunotherapy has received wide attention in recent years as a new avenue for the effective treatment of cancer. However, due to the lack of detection limit and sensitivity of immune checkpoint molecule (such as Programmed cell death 1 ligand 1, PD‐L1) in established clinical methods, the immunotherapy evaluation during anti‐PD‐L1/PD‐1 (Programmed cell death receptor 1) treatment is difficult to be guided accurately. In this study, a highly sensitive and maneuverable Surface‐Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS)‐based immunoassay platform is developed for the analysis of exosomal PD‐L1, a highly potential biomarker for immunotherapy. Excellent detection of exosomal PD‐L1 with good linear fit over a wide concentration range is achieved. In addition, the detection and discrimination of exosomal PD‐L1 in the peripheral blood of cancer patients and healthy controls are successfully achieved. Moreover, the platform has also been successfully used to distinguish common diseases, cancer, and healthy control (such as liver cancer, liver cirrhosis, and normal individuals). The detection platform can be successfully used for the trace detection of PD‐L1 on exosomes, which has excellent potential for clinical development in cancer diagnosis and treatment guidelines.

AbstractTargeting CD96 that originates in immune cells has shown potential for cancer therapy. However, the role of intrinsic CD96 in solid tumor cells remains unknown. Here, it is found that CD96 is frequently expressed in tumor cells from clinical breast cancer samples and is correlated with poor long‐term prognosis in these patients. The CD96+ cancer cell subpopulations exhibit features of both breast cancer stem cells and chemoresistance. In vivo inhibition of cancer cell‐intrinsic CD96 enhances the chemotherapeutic response in a patient‐derived tumor xenograft model. Mechanistically, CD96 enhances mitochondrial fatty acid β‐oxidation via the CD155‐CD96‐Src‐Stat3‐Opa1 pathway, which subsequently promotes chemoresistance in breast cancer stem cells. A previously unknown role is identified for tumor cell‐intrinsic CD96 and an attractive target in improving the chemotherapeutic response.

AbstractPower conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of glove‐box (GB) processed, two‐component, single‐junction organic solar cells (OSCs) have recently exceeded 18%. However, their mass‐scale manufacture using roll‐to‐roll (R2R) coating techniques is impracticable if they must be fabricated in an air‐free environment. From a commercialization perspective, efficient air‐processed OSCs are of much greater interest than GB‐processed devices since the vast majority of R2R‐manufacturing infrastructure is designed to operate in the air. Herein, it is reported that controlling the crystallinity of non‐fullerene acceptors plays a key role in determining the properties of blend films. Notably, Y6‐hu (a Y6‐derivative) is shown to exhibits a higher degree of crystallinity when processed in air. Air‐processed OSCs show an outstanding PCE of 17.38%, which, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, is the highest PCE yet reported for two‐component‐based OSCs processed in air using halogen‐free solvents. Moreover, opaque large‐area OSC sub‐modules with PCEs of 12.44%, and red‐green‐blue colored semi‐transparent OSC sub‐modules with PCEs of >10% are demonstrated. By understanding how morphological features relate to the charge‐generation dynamics of air‐processed OSCs, a new window is opened for the fabrication of efficient and stable air‐processable organic electronics.

Published: December 2022

AbstractBackgroundThere is no consensus regarding a better long‐term prognosis with laparoscopic gastrectomy than with open surgery in patients with advanced gastric cancer, especially in patients with T3 or more advanced gastric cancer. We investigated the impact of laparoscopic gastrectomy on the long‐term prognosis of patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for primary T3 or more advanced gastric cancer.MethodsThis single‐center, retrospective cohort study included 294 consecutive patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for primary T3 or more advanced gastric cancer from April 2008 through April 2017. We compared overall survival between laparoscopic and open surgery, using propensity score matching to adjust for baseline characteristics. We also investigated prognostic factors for overall survival by a forward stepwise procedure of Cox proportional hazards regression for multivariate analysis.ResultsThere were 136 (46.3%) and 158 (53.7%) patients in the laparoscopy and open groups, respectively. The median follow‐up period was 39 mo. After matching, there were 97 patients in each group, with no significant differences in background characteristics. After matching, the overall survival was significantly worse in the open group than in the laparoscopy group (P < 0.001). Multivariate analyses also showed that open surgery was an independent poor prognostic factor for overall survival (hazard ratio: 2.160, 95% concordance interval: 1.365–3.419, P = 0.001).ConclusionOverall survival may be better with laparoscopic gastrectomy than with open surgery for patients with primary T3 or more advanced gastric cancer.

Published: December 2022

AbstractBioorthogonal late‐stage diversification of structurally complex peptides bears enormous potential for drug discovery and molecular imaging, among other applications. Herein, we report on a palladium‐catalyzed C−H arylation of tryptophan‐containing peptides with readily accessible and modular arylthianthrenium salts. Under exceedingly mild reaction conditions, the late‐stage diversification of structurally complex peptides was accomplished. The tunability and ease of preparation of arylthianthrenium salts allowed the expedient stitching of tryptophan‐containing peptides with drug, natural product, and peptidic scaffolds by forging sterically congested biaryl linkages. The robustness of the palladium catalysis regime was reflected by the full tolerance of a plethora of sensitive and coordinating functional groups. Hence, our manifold enabled efficient access to highly decorated, labelled, conjugated, and ligated linear and cyclic peptides.

AbstractPennycress (Thlaspi arvense L.) is a winter oilseed crop that also functions as cover crop, oil feedstock for biofuel, and novel plant‐based protein. New pennycress specialty varieties were developed by conventional breeding techniques, but protein chemical and functional traits are still unknown. This research evaluated three new lines (black‐seeded B3 and yellow‐seeded TTG1/Y1126 and TT8) for protein extractability and functionality. Seeds were ground cryogenically and then hexane‐defatted until residual oil content was 0.5%–0.7% dry basis, db. Protein in defatted seed meals was extracted using saline method (1: 10 wt/vol, 0.1 M NaCl, 2 h, 50°C). TT8 and Y1126 had greater protein recoveries (ca. 50%) than those of B3 (36%) and wild‐type pennycress (WTP, 40%). TT8 produced higher purity protein isolate (94.3%) than did Y1126 (75.0%) and B3 (71.3%). TT8 and Y1126 protein band patterns were different from WTP and B3, reflecting varietal changes. The new varieties' protein extracts were more soluble than WTP protein in acidic pH, with TT8 showing the highest solubility (81%–93%). TT8, Y1126 and B3 foaming capacities (113–135 ml) were superior to those of WTP (101–107 ml). Emulsification properties (EAI 95–230 m2/g protein, ESI 13–24 min) were similar and increased with pH. B3, Y1126, and TT8 formed heat‐induced gels at much lower concentration than did WTP (3% vs. 6%) and their water‐holding capacities (pH 7) were two to fivefold greater. This work demonstrated that mutations in the TTG1 or TT8 gene in yellow‐seeded lines resulted in improved protein recoveries and functionalities that are desirable in plant‐based proteins.
