RESUMEN

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomers with high mechanical and healing properties are developed as smart materials for electrical power systems and electronic devices to address electrical or mechanical damage. However, the challenge is to reconcile the conflicting molecular mechanisms of mechanical and healing properties in the development of PDMS elastomers. This study adopts the "rigid-while-flexible" mutual network structure by copolymerizing the rigid polyimide (PI) with flexible segments with dynamic reversible crosslinking designed on the PDMS backbones. This elastomer (designated PSiPI) exhibits high toughness, tensile strength and elongation at break, as well as excellent healing efficiency and recyclability. Moreover, the PSiPI elastomer also exhibits good insulation and corona damage healing properties. Taking advantage of the recyclability and healing properties of PSiPI elastomers, healable superhydrophobic coatings with contact angles greater than 150° have been prepared by compositing PSiPI elastomers with SiO2. Likewise, combining the elastomer with conductive materials can create a healing flexible conductor. This "rigid-while-flexible" design approach provides important inspiration for the development of high-performance, sustainable and environmentally friendly PDMS elastomers for electrical and electronic applications.

RESUMEN

Establishing reliable noninvasive tools to precisely diagnose clinically significant liver fibrosis (SF, ≥F2) remains an unmet need. We aimed to build a combined radiomics-clinic (CoRC) model for triaging SF and explore the additive value of the CoRC model to transient elastography-based liver stiffness measurement (FibroScan, TE-LSM). This retrospective study recruited 595 patients with biopsy-proven liver fibrosis at two centers between January 2015 and December 2021. At Center 1, the patients before December 2018 were randomly split into training (276) and internal test (118) sets, the remaining were time-independent as a temporal test set (96). Another data set (105) from Center 2 was collected for external testing. Radiomics scores were built with selected features from Deep learning-based (ResUNet) automated whole liver segmentations on MRI (T2FS and delayed enhanced-T1WI). The CoRC model incorporated radiomics scores and relevant clinical variables with logistic regression, comparing routine approaches. Diagnostic performance was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). The additive value of the CoRC model to TE-LSM was investigated, considering necroinflammation. The CoRC model achieved AUCs of 0.79 (0.70, 0.86), 0.82 (0.73, 0.89), and 0.81 (0.72-0.91), outperformed FIB-4, APRI (all p < 0.05) in the internal, temporal, and external test sets and maintained the discriminatory power in G0-1 subgroups (AUCs range, 0.85-0.86; all p < 0.05). The AUCs of joint CoRC-LSM model were 0.86 (0.79-0.94), and 0.81 (0.72-0.90) in the internal and temporal sets (p = 0.01). The CoRC model was useful for triaging SF, and may add value to TE-LSM.

RESUMEN

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly lethal malignancy, and its clinical management encounters severe challenges due to its high metastatic propensity and the absence of effective therapeutic targets. To improve druggability of aurovertin B (AVB), a natural polyketide with a significant antiproliferative effect on TNBC, a series of NO donor/AVB hybrids were synthesized and tested for bioactivities. Among them, compound 4d significantly inhibited the proliferation and metastasis of TNBC in vitro and in vivo with better safety than that of AVB. The structure-activity relationship analysis suggested that the types of NO donor and the linkers had considerable effects on the activities. Mechanistic investigations unveiled that 4d induced apoptosis and ferroptosis by the reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential and the down-regulation of GPX4, respectively. The antimetastatic effect of 4d was associated with the upregulation of DUSP1. Overall, these compelling results underscore the tremendous potential of 4d for treating TNBC.

RESUMEN

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by high mortality rates primarily due to its propensity for metastasis. Addressing this challenge necessitates the development of effective antimetastatic therapies. This study aimed to identify natural compounds with potential antimetastatic properties mainly based on the high-throughput phenotypic screening system. This system, utilizing luciferase reporter gene assays combined with scratch wound assays, evaluates compounds based on their influence on the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) marker E-cadherin. Through this approach, aurovertin B (AVB) was revealed to have significant antimetastatic capability. Notably, AVB exhibited substantial metastasis suppression in many TNBC cell lines, including MDA-MB-231, HCC1937 and 4T1. Also, its remarkable antimetastatic activity was demonstrated in vivo via the orthotopic breast cancer mouse model. Further exploration revealed a pronounced association between AVB-induced upregulation of DUSP1 (dual-specificity phosphatase 1) and its inhibitory effect on TNBC metastasis. Additionally, microarray analysis conducted to elucidate the underlying mechanism of the AVB-DUSP1 interaction identified ATF3 (activating transcription factor 3) as a critical transcription factor instrumental in DUSP1 transcriptional activation. This discovery, coupled with observations of enhanced ATF3-DUSP1 expression and consequent reduction in TNBC metastatic foci in response to AVB, provides novel insights into the molecular mechanisms driving metastasis in TNBC. Significance Statement We construct a high-throughput phenotypic screening system utilizing EMT marker E-cadherin promoter luciferase reporter gene combined with scratch wound assays. Aurovertin B was revealed to possess significant antimetastatic activity through this approach, which was further demonstrated via in vivo and in vitro experiments. The discovery of the regulatory role of the ATF3-DUSP1 pathway enriches our understanding of TNBC metastasis mechanism and suggests the potential of ATF3 and DUSP1 as biomarkers for diagnosing TNBC metastasis.

RESUMEN

The development of microelectronics and large-scale intelligence nowadays promotes the integration, miniaturization, and multifunctionality of electronic and devices but also leads to the increment of signal transmission delays, crosstalk, and energy consumption. The exploitation of materials with low permittivity (low-k) is crucial for realizing innovations in microelectronics. However, due to the high permittivity of conventional interlayer dielectric material (k ∼ 4.0), it is difficult to meet the demands of current microelectronic technology development (k < 3.0). Organic dielectric materials have attracted much attention because of their relatively low permittivity owing to their low material density and low single bond polarization. Polyimide (PI) exhibits better application potential based on its well permittivity tunability (k = 1.1-3.2), high thermal stability (>500 °C), and mechanical property (modulus of elasticity up to 3.0-4.0 GPa). In this review, based on the synergistic relationship of dielectric parameters of materials, the development of nearly 20 years on low-k PI is thoroughly summarized. Moreover, process strategies for modifying low-k PI at the molecular level, multiphase recombination, and interface engineering are discussed exhaustively. The industrial application, technological challenges, and future development of low-k PI are also analyzed, which will provide meaningful guidance for the design and practical application of multifunctional low-k materials.

RESUMEN

In our search for neuroprotective agents, six previously undescribed highly oxidized guaiane sesquiterpenes, linderaggrols A-F (1-6), together with three known sesquiterpenes, were isolated from the roots of Lindera aggregata (Sims) Kosterm. Their structures including absolute configurations were established by a combination of NMR spectroscopic techniques and single crystal X-ray diffraction experiments. Compounds 1-6 represented the first instances of guaiane 12(8),15(6)-dilactones. Additionally, compound 6 possessed a rare 1,8-O-bridge. Neuroprotective effects against erastin-induced ferroptosis on HT-22 cells showed that some compounds demonstrated neuroprotective effects at 20.0 µM.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can occur in women who give birth after emergency admission. The identification of risk factors for this condition is crucial for developing effective preventive measures. This retrospective study aimed to explore the incidence and risk factors for postpartum PTSD in women who give birth after emergency admission. METHODS: Medical records of women who gave birth after emergency admission were collected between March 2021 and April 2023. The patients' general conditions and perinatal clinical indicators were recorded. The puerperae were divided into PTSD group and control group based on symptom occurrence at six weeks postpartum. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors. RESULTS: A total of 276 puerperae were included, with a PTSD incidence of 20.3% at six weeks postpartum. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified emergency cesarean section (odds ratio [OR]=2.102; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.114-3.966, P=0.022), admission to the emergency department after midnight (12:00 AM) (OR=2.245; 95%CI: 1.170-4.305, P<0.001), and cervical dilation (OR=3.203; 95%CI: 1.670-6.141, P=0.039) as independent risk factors for postpartum PTSD. Analgesia pump use (OR= 0.500; 95%CI: 0.259-0.966, P=0.015) was found to be a protective factor against postpartum PTSD. CONCLUSION: Emergency cesarean section, admission to the emergency department after midnight, and cervical dilation were identified as independent risk factors for postpartum PTSD, while analgesic pump use was a protective factor. These findings provide insights for developing more effective preventive measures for women who give birth after emergency admission.

RESUMEN

An electroreductive cross-electrophile coupling protocol was developed for the construction of valuable 1,3-dienes from vinyl bromides. Furthermore, this scalable method can also be used to forge complex [4 + 2] cycloadducts in a one-pot manner. One of the most important advantages of this green and sustainable protocol is the in situ release of nickel catalyst from the inexpensive electrodes without the addition of extra harmful metal catalysts and reductant.

RESUMEN

Elastomers are widely used in traditional industries and new intelligent fields. However, they are inevitably damaged by electricity, heat, force, etc. during the working process. With the continuous improvement of reliability and environmental protection requirements in human production and living, it is vital to develop elastomer materials with good mechanical properties that are not easily damaged and can self-heal after being damaged. Nevertheless, there are often contradictions between mechanical properties and self-healing as well as toughness, strength, and ductility. Herein, a strong and dynamic decuple hydrogen bonding based on carbon hydrazide (CHZ) is reported, accompanied with soft polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) chains to prepare self-healing (efficiency 98.7%), recyclable, and robust elastomers (CHZ-PDMS). The strategy of decuple hydrogen bonding will significantly impact the study of the mechanical properties of elastomers. High stretchability (1731%) and a high toughness of 23.31 MJ m-3 are achieved due to the phase-separated structure and energy dissipation. The recyclability of CHZ-PDMS further supports the concept of environmental protection. The application of CHZ-PDMS as a flexible strain sensor exhibited high sensitivity.

RESUMEN

RESUMEN

To match the increasing miniaturization and integration of electronic devices, higher requirements are put on the dielectric and thermal properties of the dielectrics to overcome the problems of delayed signal transmission and heat accumulation. Here, a 3D  porous thermal conductivity network is successfully constructed inside the polyimide (PI) matrix by the combination of ionic liquids (IL) and calcium fluoride (CaF2 ) nanofillers, motivated by the bubble-hole forming orientation force. Benefiting from the 3D thermal network formed by IL as a porogenic template and "crystal-like phase" structures induced by CaF2 - polyamide acid charge transfer, IL-10 vol% CaF2 /PI porous film exhibits a low permittivity of 2.14 and a thermal conductivity of 7.22 W m-1 K-1 . This design strategy breaks the bottleneck that low permittivity and high thermal conductivity in microelectronic systems are difficult to be jointly controlled, and provides a feasible solution for the development of intelligent microelectronics.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Septic shock is the development of sepsis to refractory circulatory collapse and metabolic derangements, characterized by persistent hypotension and increased lactate levels. Anisodamine hydrobromide (Ani HBr) is a Chinese medicine used to improve blood flow in circulatory disorders. The purpose of this study was to determine the therapeutic efficacy of Ani HBr in the treatment of patients with septic shock. METHODS: This was a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial focusing on patients with septic shock in 16 hospitals in China. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the treatment group or the control group. The primary endpoint was 28-day mortality. The secondary outcomes included 7-day mortality, hospital mortality, hospital length of stay, vasopressor-free days within 7 days, etc. These indicators were measured and collected at 0, 6h, 24h, 48h, 72h and 7d after the diagnosis. RESULTS: Between September 2017 and March 2021, 404 subjects were enrolled. 203 subjects received Ani HBr and 201 subjects were assigned to the control group. The treated group showed lower 28-day mortality than the control group. Stratified analysis further showed significant differences in 28-day mortality between the two groups for patients with a high level of illness severity. We also observed significant differences in 7-day mortality, hospital mortality and some other clinical indicators between the two groups. CONCLUSION: Ani HBr might be an important adjuvant to conventional treatment to reduce 28-day mortality in patients with septic shock. A large-scale prospective randomized multicenter trial is warranted to confirm our results.

RESUMEN

Polymer dielectric materials with excellent temperature stability are urgently needed for the ever-increasing energy storage requirements under harsh high-temperature conditions. In this work, a novel diamine monomer (bis(2-cyano-4-aminophenyl)amine) was successfully synthesized to prepare a series of cyano-containing polyimides (CPI-1-3), which possessed excellent dielectric properties and high thermostability. The maximum dielectric permittivity was up to 5.5 at 102 Hz for CPI-3, being 2.5 times higher than that of commercially used BOPP. In comparison, the CPI-1 exhibited an outstanding breakdown strength of 433 MV m-1 and a high energy density of 2.5 J cm-3 even at 250 °C, which was the highest value reported under the same conditions. The synthesized CPIs through such an intrinsic approach are potential candidate materials for energy storage and even other applications under simultaneously harsh electrical and thermal conditions.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate a machine learning model based on contrast-enhanced CT to predict the risk of occurrence of the composite clinical endpoint (hospital-based intervention or death) in cirrhotic patients with acute variceal bleeding (AVB). METHODS: This retrospective study enrolled 330 cirrhotic patients with AVB between January 2017 and December 2020 from three clinical centers. Contrast-enhanced CT and clinical data were collected. Centers A and B were divided 7:3 into a training set and an internal test set, and center C served as a separate external test set. A well-trained deep learning model was applied to segment the liver and spleen. Then, we extracted 106 original features of the liver and spleen separately based on the Image Biomarker Standardization Initiative (IBSI). We constructed the Liver-Spleen (LS) model based on the selected radiomics features. The performance of LS model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristics and calibration curves. The clinical utility of models was analyzed using decision curve analyses (DCA). RESULTS: The LS model demonstrated the best diagnostic performance in predicting the composite clinical endpoint of AVB in patients with cirrhosis, with an AUC of 0.782 (95% CI 0.650-0.882) and 0.789 (95% CI 0.674-0.878) in the internal test and external test groups, respectively. Calibration curves and DCA indicated the LS model had better performance than traditional clinical scores. CONCLUSION: A novel machine learning model outperforms previously known clinical risk scores in assessing the prognosis of cirrhotic patients with AVB CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: The Liver-Spleen model based on contrast-enhanced CT has proven to be a promising tool to predict the prognosis of cirrhotic patients with acute variceal bleeding, which can facilitate decision-making and personalized therapy in clinical practice. KEY POINTS: • The Liver-Spleen machine learning model (LS model) showed good performance in assessing the clinical composite endpoint of cirrhotic patients with AVB (AUC ≥ 0.782, sensitivity ≥ 80%). • The LS model outperformed the clinical scores (AUC ≤ 0.730, sensitivity ≤ 70%) in both internal and external test cohorts.

RESUMEN

Polyimides (PIs) used in advanced electrical and electronic devices can be electrically/mechanically damaged, resulting in a significant waste of resources. Closed-loop chemical recycling may prolong the service life of synthetic polymers. However, the design of dynamic covalent bonds for preparing chemically recyclable crosslinked PIs remains a challenging task. Herein, new crosslinked PI films containing a PI oligomer, chain extender, and crosslinker are reported. They exhibit superior recyclability and excellent self-healable ability owing to the synergistic effect of the chain extender and crosslinker. The produced films can be completely depolymerized in an acidic solution at ambient temperature, leading to efficient monomer recovery. The recovered monomers may be used to remanufacture crosslinked PIs without deteriorating their original performance. In particular, the designed films can serve as corona-resistant films with a recovery rate of approximately 100%. Furthermore, carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRCs) with PI matrices are suitable for harsh environments and can be recycled multiple times at a non-destructive recycling rate up to 100%. The preparation of high-strength dynamic covalent adaptable PI hybrid films from simple PI oligomers, chain extenders, and crosslinkers may provide a solid basis for sustainable development in the electrical and electronic fields.
