Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTPerovskite solar cells (PSCs) are regarded as the most promising new generation of green energy technology due to their outstanding device performance and simple processing technology. Traditional processing methods, such as thermal annealing and thermal evaporation, face significant challenges in further enhancing device performance and stability. In recent years, laser processing has garnered extensive attention from researchers due to its notable advantages in terms of speed, high efficiency, and controllability. In this review, we systematically summarize the role of laser in the active layer, transport layer, and electrode of perovskite photovoltaic cells. First, we systematically elucidate the mechanism governing the nucleation and crystallization of laser‐processed perovskite films, along with its influence on the micro‐nano structures of these films. Concurrently, a thorough explication of the micro‐nano structures pertaining to the laser‐processed transport layer, the interconnection between transport layers, the electrode, and their respective impacts on carrier transport and collection efficiency within the device will be provided. Most importantly, we believe that these approaches will provide scientists with new ways of thinking and system schemes for improving the performance and stability of perovskite solar cells.

ABSTRACTObjectiveWhile statins have demonstrated a variety of antineoplastic effects in preclinical studies, several retrospective clinical studies and observational studies have not shown a consistent chemopreventive benefit against prostate cancer (PCa). Therefore, in this population‐based cohort study, we examined the association of statin intake on prostate specific antigen (PSA) values and risk of development of PCa.MethodN = 4,314 men from the Swiss section of the European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) were evaluated. N = 761 men were statin users [Stat+]. The median follow‐up was 9.6 years. A transrectal prostate biopsy was performed in men with a PSA‐level ≥ 3 ng/mL. Mortality and incidence data was obtained through registry linkages. PCa incidence, total serum PSA level, free‐to‐total PSA level, and overall survival were compared between [Stat+] and [Stat−] patients.ResultsTotal PSA values were significantly lower in [Stat+] patients at baseline (1.5 vs. 1.8 ng/mL, p < 0.001) and at last follow‐up (1.8 vs. 2.1 ng/mL, p < 0.001). PCa detection during the follow‐up period was significantly associated with baseline PSA. The overall incidence of PCa showed no statistical difference among [Stat+] and [Stat−] groups (7.4% vs. 9.5%, p = 0.08), indicating that statin use had no effect on the risk of developing PCa during follow‐up. [Stat+] patients had a significantly higher overall mortality risk compared to [Stat−] patients (HR 2.04, p < 0.001).DiscussionA significant risk reduction in the development of PCa in [Stat+] patients was not found. We did observe lower PSA values among [Stat+] patients, compared to [Stat−] patients, with an increasing difference during follow‐up.

ABSTRACTBackgroundHeavily calcified coronary artery disease presents significant challenges in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), often requiring advanced techniques to achieve optimal outcomes. Cutting balloons (CB) have shown potential for plaque modification; however, their effectiveness is limited without standardized protocols.AimsThis study introduces the RODIN‐CUT technique, a novel approach utilizing sequential CB inflations with real‐time intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance. The technique aims to enhance calcified plaque modification, improve stent expansion, and achieve consistent procedural success in heavily calcified coronary lesions.MethodologyA retrospective analysis of three consecutive patients requiring specialized approaches beyond conventional PCI was included at three centers in Belgium. The RODIN‐CUT protocol involved multiple CB inflations at precise lesion segments, followed by immediate IVUS imaging after each inflation to assess plaque modification and guide further therapy. Procedural success was defined as residual stenosis < 30% with TIMI 3 distal flow. The study evaluated the dose‐dependent effects of repeated CB inflations on plaque fracture depth and distribution.ConclusionThe RODIN‐CUT technique demonstrated promising outcomes, achieving procedural success in all cases with enhanced stent expansion and minimal complications. The technique's simplicity, cost‐effectiveness, and reproducibility make it a viable option for treating heavily calcified coronary lesions. Further large‐scale studies are required to validate these findings and establish the RODIN‐CUT technique as a standard approach for complex calcified lesions.

ABSTRACTNasal rehabilitation following basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and radiotherapy presents significant challenges due to the intricate balance between aesthetic and functional restoration. This case report discusses the rehabilitation of a 73‐year‐old male who underwent surgical excision and radiotherapy for BCC located on the left ala of the nose. Post‐treatment, the patient experienced dissatisfaction with his facial appearance, negatively impacting his quality of life. This study highlights the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in achieving optimal outcomes through prosthetic reconstruction. The process involved careful surgical removal of residual tissue, followed by detailed impression‐taking, modeling, and fabrication of a custom nasal prosthesis. Key considerations included anatomical accuracy, symmetry, and color matching to ensure a natural appearance. Emphasis was placed on patient‐centered care, addressing both physical and psychological aspects. Despite achieving satisfactory results, limitations such as the absence of long‐term follow‐up data were noted. Future research should focus on long‐term prosthesis performance and patient‐reported outcomes to enhance rehabilitation strategies. This case underscores the importance of an integrated approach combining surgical precision, prosthodontic expertise, and psychological support to improve patient satisfaction and quality of life following nasal rehabilitation post‐BCC and radiotherapy.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTImmune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder marked by a low platelet count, leading to symptoms ranging from mild to severe bleeding. It can be triggered by various factors, including idiopathic origins, medications, malignancies, infections, and other autoimmune conditions. Though rare, ITP can also occur postvaccination. We report a case of a 3‐month‐old male who developed petechial rashes and mucosal bleeding following Pentavalent vaccination. This highlights the need for clinicians to recognize ITP as a potential complication of the Pentavalent vaccine. Educating parents about this rare but serious side effect is crucial.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTMembranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) has previously been used as an umbrella term to describe a spectrum of hypocomplementemic glomerular diseases, which are rare causes of end stage kidney disease (ESKD). We present a 22‐year‐old man with a well‐established medical history who had been complaining of 4 days of frothy dark urine, bilateral lower limb swelling, and puffiness on his face. For a month before his presentation, he had many bilateral skin lesions on his lower limbs that were leaking pus. Aside from the scars from the prior skin lesions, he had no other significant medical history, and his examination revealed no abnormalities. His tests revealed nephrotic range proteinuria with a normal renal profile, low serum albumin with low C3 and normal C4, and negative antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) by ELISA. After preliminary studies, we concluded that the condition was infection‐related glomerulonephritis. Nevertheless, following renal biopsy, which revealed an MPGN pattern, and immunohistochemistry, which revealed a full house picture, we conducted a second ANA test using the more sensitive/broader spectrum IFA hep2 cell test, which showed a coarse speckled nuclear pattern with a significant titer (1/1000), as well as a negative line blot assay test using 15 distinct antigens. Following the modification of our diagnosis to lupus nephritis, the patient responded fairly well once we started him on an immunosuppressive drug. The patient was released from the hospital in a stable condition.

AbstractGas‐phase near‐edge X‐ray absorption mass spectrometry (NEXAMS) was employed at the carbon and oxygen K‐edges to probe the influence of a single water molecule on the protonated phosphotyrosine molecule. The results of the photodissociation experiments revealed that the water molecule forms two bonds, with the phosphate group and another chemical group. By comparing the NEXAMS spectra at the carbon and oxygen K‐edges with density functional theory calculations, we attributed the electronic transitions responsible for the observed resonances, especially the transitions due to the presence of the water molecule. We showed that the water molecule leads to a specific spectral feature in the partial ion yield of hydrated fragments at 536.4 eV. Moreover, comparing the NEXAMS spectra with the calculated structures allowed us to identify three possible structures for singly hydrated phosphotyrosine that agree with the observed fragmentation and resonances.
Encapsulation of active ruthenium species for hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to formic acid in porous hollow spheres of silica

Published: January 2025

AbstractThe work is dedicated to the encapsulation of active ruthenium species for the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to formic acid in porous hollow spheres of silica. The porous hollow spheres were obtained via a sol–gel‐based reaction with 1‐dodecyl amine and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as templates to form both the hollow void and nanospaces in the shells of the porous hollow sphere support. The metallic ruthenium species were encapsulated in the nanospaces of the hollow spheres through the immersion or incipient wetness impregnation method with a methanolic solution of ruthenium species, following the activation process under solvothermal conditions. The results of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) measurements indicate that the highly dispersed active ruthenium species were effectively encapsulated in the nanospaces by adding an aqueous ammonia solution during the immersion process, and an improvement in the catalytic activity for formic acid yield via the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide was observed in the presence of the catalyst prepared with the appropriate amount of ammonia. The activity dramatically improved in the presence of the ruthenium‐encapsulated porous hollow sphere catalyst prepared via the incipient wetness impregnation method due to including the highly dispersed active ruthenium species on the surface and in the nanospaces of the hollow spheres.

Published: January 2025

AbstractAn in situ electrochemical Raman method is described to identify and validate the reaction pathway of amine nitrosations using density functional theory (DFT). In this reaction, sodium nitrite is used as an affordable and readily available nitrosating reagent, which also serves as an electrolyte in the reaction. This is a green approach towards nitrosations as it does not require the use of acids and other harsh or toxic solvents and chemicals. Intermediate species have been detected using Raman spectroscopy and are correlated with the calculated spectra expected in the reaction pathway to the N‐nitrosamine products.

ABSTRACTBackgroundTesticular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) are the most common cancers among young men in the United States. Incidence rates among non‐Hispanic White (NHW) men historically have been much higher than the rates among other men. To study whether this pattern had changed, the authors examined trends in TGCT incidence for the years 1992–2021.MethodsBy using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results 12 registries database, age‐standardized incidence rates per 100,000 person‐years and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated overall and by histologic type (seminoma and nonseminoma), age, stage at diagnosis, and race/ethnicity. Trends in 5‐year survival also were examined.ResultsThe age‐standardized incidence rate of TGCT per 100,000 person‐years increased from 4.71 (95% CI, 4.39–5.05) in 1992 to 6.22 (95% CI, 5.88–6.58) in 2021. The rates increased for both seminoma (average annual percent change [AAPC], 0.57%; 95% CI, 0.40%–0.75%) and nonseminoma (AAPC, 1.41%; 95% CI, 1.17%–1.64%) and among all race/ethnic groups, although the rates stabilized among NHW men. Increases in incidence were greatest among Hispanic men (AAPC, 3.03%; 95% CI, 2.66%–3.40%), who had one of the youngest median ages at diagnosis and were more likely to be diagnosed at advanced stages compared with NHW men. Seminoma and nonseminoma rates among Hispanic men converged over the study period, whereas seminoma rates remained higher among most other groups.ConclusionsHispanic men now have the highest TGCT incidence rates in the United States, although the rates increased among all groups between 1992 and 2021. Racial/ethnic differences in rates require further investigation.

AbstractBackgroundPatients with lysine methyltransferase 2a (KMT2A)‐rearranged (KMT2A‐r) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are assigned to intermediate‐risk and adverse‐risk categories at diagnosis. However, the value of molecular measurable residual disease (MRD) status in patients who have KMT2A‐r AML before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo‐HSCT) in adult cohorts has rarely been evaluated.MethodsPatients with KMT2A‐r AML who achieved complete remission and subsequently underwent allo‐HSCT between January 2015 and January 2023 were included in this analysis. Real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect molecular MRD in bone marrow samples. The end points were overall survival (OS), leukemia‐free survival (LFS), the cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), and nonrelapse mortality (NRM).ResultsPretransplantation molecular MRD was identified in 52 of 125 patients (42%) with KMT2A‐r AML. The presence of KMT2A‐r MRD was associated with inferior 3‐year OS (51% vs. 82%; p < .001), LFS (42% vs. 81%; p < .001), CIR (33% vs. 12%; p < .001), and NRM (11% vs. 5%; p = .12). In multivariate models, molecular MRD status before transplantation independently predicted OS, LFS, and CIR. The survival of adult patients with KMT2A‐r AML was heterogeneous, depending on the KMT2A translocation partners, and was more favorable in patients who had t(9;11) and t(10;11) than in those who had t(11;19) and t(6;11). In addition, flow cytometry‐based MRD analysis conferred no additional prognostic value to the results of molecular MRD status.ConclusionsResidual KMT2A‐r before allo‐HSCT independently predicts the risk of survival and relapse, and donor lymphocyte infusion or posttransplantation maintenance therapies should be considered for patients who have AML with detectable molecular MRD.

Published: January 2025

AbstractAnode free concepts are gaining traction in battery research. To improve cyclability, a better understanding of the deposition processes and morphologies is necessary. Correlative experiments enable a link between a variety of properties obtained, such as chemical, mechanical or electrochemical data. Here, electron paramagnetic resonance imaging (EPRI) is correlated with atomic force microscopy (AFM) to gain a deeper understanding of the microscopic topography and local stiffness at different intensities of the lithium selective EPRI map. Experiments were carried out on a sample of lithium deposited on copper foil from standard battery electrolyte. The correlation of both methods reveals that EPRI has a high sensitivity towards small lithium structures, while bulk lithium was not detected. The results demonstrate that EPRI can be used for prescreening to identify regions with different properties, which can then be analysed individually by AFM.

Published: January 2025

AbstractThis study investigates the modulations in the optical properties of cationic surfactant cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and hydrazine‐mediated copper nanoclusters (CuNCs). By employing a bottom‐up approach, we demonstrate the formation of blue‐emitting CuNCs facilitated by CPC and hydrazine, where hydrazine acts both as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The optical properties of the CuNCs were systematically tuned by varying the chain length of the diamine, resulting in emissions ranging from blue to yellow. Comprehensive characterization using spectroscopic and microscopic techniques confirmed the successful formation of CuNCs and elucidated the roles of CPC and hydrazine in their preparation. Control experiments highlighted the critical role of the pyridinium moiety and hydrophobic chain of CPC in enhancing the photoluminescence properties of the CuNCs. This work provides new insights into the design of stable, highly luminescent CuNCs for potential applications in optoelectronics and bioimaging.
