Applying neoteric MgTiO3-coated TiO2 nanoparticulate films as scaffold layers in perovskite solar cells based on carbon counter electrode for retarding charge recombination
摘要： MgTiO3-coated TiO2 mesoporous scaffold layers were fabricated and applied in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) based on carbon counter electrode (CCE), in which TiO2 mesoporous layers were treated with different concentration of Mg2+ solution. Compared with PSCs based on pure TiO2 mesoporous layer, the open circuit voltage (Voc) and circuit photocurrent density (Jsc) of MgTiO3/TiO2-based devices significant improved. Intensive characterizations including scanning electron microscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy can confirm that the presence of MgTiO3 shell layer can’t only retard charge recombination at CH3NH3PbI3/TiO2 interface, but also have a strong effect on the perovskite film growth. Based on the optimized treating concentration of 0.10 M, power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 10.39% could be achieved for the hole-conductor-free PSCs with excellent long-term stability, suggesting immense potential for large-scale industrial production in the future.

Design and synthesis of a novel colorimetric fluorescent probe for selective detection of sulfur dioxide in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells and its application in Traditional Chinese Medicines
摘要： Sulfur fumigation has attracted more and more attention as one of the important post-harvest processing methods for some Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCMs) in the last decade. However, sulfur-fumigated TCMs have recently emerged as a controversial topic due to their potential detrimental effect on the safety and efficacy, as some sulfur-fumigated TCMs contain lots of sulfur dioxide derivatives. Additionally, high levels of the sulfur dioxide derivatives could cause some diseases and dangerous environmental pollutant. In this work, a fast response time, low limit of detection and high fluorescence quantum yield probe DTCC was designed and synthesized to detect SO2 derivatives based on coumarin-thiophene dye which was fused with a coumarin moiety and 2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde. Probe DTCC exhibited fast response time (less than 10 s), satisfactory selectivity for SO2 derivatives in the presence of other ROS and excellent sensitivity for SO2 derivatives with low limit of detection (0.23 μM) and widely linear range (0～100 μM). Furthermore, probe DTCC was successfully applied in fluorescent imaging in SH-SY5Y neurobalstoma cells with excellent membrane permeability and stability. It was also employed for monitoring the total SO2 derivatives in several real TCMs sample. These results illustrated that probe DTCC has an excellent capability for monitoring SO2 derivatives in living cells and real TCMs sample.

Optical coherence tomography guidance during bioresorbable vascular scaffold implantation
摘要： Bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BRS) represent a revolutionary concept in interventional cardiology. After initial enthusiasm, recent real world registries, including patients with increasing lesion complexity, reported not trivial rates of scaffold thrombosis (ScT). The importance of correct patients selection as well as technical aspects during BRS implantation procedures has been highlighted in several studies suggesting that the high rate of ScT might be related to uncorrected patients/lesions selection together with underutilization of intracoronary imaging guidance leading to suboptimal BRS implantation. The high-resolution power together with the lack of shadowing observed beyond polymer struts makes optical coherence tomography (OCT) the optimal imaging technique to guide BRS implantation and identifies eventually scaffolds failures.

Bright and Color-Stable Blue-Light-Emitting Diodes based on Three-Dimensional Perovskite Polycrystalline Films via Morphology and Interface Engineering
摘要： Substantial progress has been achieved in red and green perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs). However, blue PeLEDs are still inferior in light-emitting efficiency and luminance compared with their green and red counterparts. Herein efficient blue PeLEDs simultaneously achieving high luminance and high color stability are fabricated based on the polycrystalline perovskites with a 3D Rb?Cs alloyed scaffold. The synergistic manipulation of an isopropanol antisolvent treatment and the PEDOT:PSS/blue perovskite interface modification with RbCl effectively improve the photoluminescence properties of the resultant blue polycrystalline 3D perovskite films and the final electroluminescence performance of the blue PeLEDs. The optimized blue PeLEDs show a maximum external quantum efficiency of 1.66% with an emission peak at 484 nm and a full width at half-maximum of 18 nm as well as CIE coordinates of (0.08, 0.21). Moreover, the optimized blue PeLEDs not only show superior color stability under various luminances but also achieve high luminances. The obtained maximum luminance of 9243 cd m?2 is one of the highest values among the efficient and color-stable blue PeLEDs.

Three-Dimensional Multi-layered Microstructure using Laser Direct-Writing System
摘要： Tissue engineering is an essential component of developing effective regenerative therapies. Here, we introduce a promising method to create scaffold-free three-dimensional (3D) tissue engineered multi-layered microstructures from cultured cells using the “3D tissue fabrication system” (Regenova?, Cyfuse, Japan). This technique utilizes the adhesive nature of cells. When cells are cultured in non-adhesive wells, they tend to aggregate and form a spheroidal structure. The advantage of this approach is that cellular components can be mixed into one spheroid, thereby promoting the formation of extracellular matrices, such as collagen and elastin. This system enables one to create a pre-designed 3D structure composed of cultured cells. We found the advantages of this system to be: (1) the length, size, and shape of the structure were designable and highly reproducible because of the computer controlled robotics system, (2) the graftable structure could be created within a reasonable period (8 days), and (3) the constructed tissue did not contain any foreign material, which may avoid the potential issues of contamination, biotoxicity, and allergy. The utilization of this robotic system enabled the creation of a 3D multi-layered microstructure made of cell based spheres with a satisfactory mechanical properties and abundant extracellular matrix during a short period of time. These results suggest that this new technology will represent a promising, attractive, and practical strategy in the field of tissue engineering.

Evolution of surface morphology of Er:YAG laser-machined human bone
摘要： The extensive research on the laser machining of the bone has been, so far, restricted to drilling and cutting that is one- and two-dimensional machining, respectively. In addition, the surface morphology of the laser machined region has rarely been explored in detail. In view of this, the current work employed three-dimensional laser machining of human bone and reports the distinct surface morphology produced within a laser machined region of human bone. Three-dimensional laser machining was carried out using multiple partially overlapped pulses and laser tracks with a separation of 0.3 mm between the centers of consecutive laser tracks to remove a bulk volume of the bone. In this study, a diode-pumped pulse Er:YAG laser (λ = 2940 nm) was employed with continuously sprayed chilled water at the irradiation site. The resulting surface morphology evolved within the laser-machined region of the bone was evaluated using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray micro-computed tomography. The distinct surface morphology involved cellular/channeled scaffold structure characterized by interconnected pores surrounded by solid ridges, produced within a laser machined region of human structural bone. Underlying physical phenomena responsible for evolution of such morphology have been proposed and explained with the help of a thermokinetic model.

Light Processing Enables Efficient Carbon-Based, All-Inorganic Planar CsPbIBr <sub/>2</sub> Solar Cells with High Photovoltages
摘要： Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) protein tyrosine phosphatase B (MptpB) is an important virulence factor for Mtb that contributes to survival of the bacteria in macrophages. The absence of a human ortholog makes MptpB an attractive target for new therapeutics to treat tuberculosis. MptpB inhibitors could be an effective treatment to overcome emerging TB drug resistance. Adopting a structure-based virtual screening strategy, we successfully identified thiobarbiturate-based drug-like MptpB inhibitor 15 with an IC50 of 22.4 μM, and as a non-competitive inhibitor with a Ki of 24.7 μM. Importantly, not only did it exhibit moderate cell membrane permeability, compound 15 also displayed potent inhibition of intracellular TB growth in the macrophage, making it an excellent lead compound for anti-TB drug discovery. To the best of our knowledge, this novel thiobarbiturate is the first class of MptpB inhibitor reported so far that leveraged docking- and pharmacophore-based virtual screening approaches. The results of preliminary structure-activity relationship demonstrated that compound 15 identified herein was not a singleton and may inspire the design of novel selective and drug-like MptpB inhibitors.

[IEEE 2018 40th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC) - Honolulu, HI (2018.7.18-2018.7.21)] 2018 40th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC) - Corner Detection Based Automatic Segmentation of Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold Struts in IVOCT Images
摘要： Bioresorbable Vascular scaffold (BVS) is a promising type of stent in percutaneous coronary intervention. Struts apposition assessment is important to ensure the safety of implanted BVS. Currently, BVS struts apposition analysis in IVOCT images still depends on manual delineation of struts, which is labor intensive and time consuming. Automatic struts segmentation is highly desired to simplify and speed up quantitative analysis. However, it is difficult to segment struts accurately based on the contour, due to the influence of fractures inside strut and blood artifacts around strut. In this paper, a novel framework of automatic struts segmentation based on four corners is introduced, in which priori knowledge is utilized that struts have obvious feature of box-shape. Firstly, a cascaded AdaBoost classifier based on enriched haar-like features is trained to detect struts corners. Then, segmentation result can be obtained based on the four detected corners of each strut. Tested on five pullbacks consisting of 483 images with strut, our novel method achieved an average Dice’s coefficient of 0.82 for strut segmentation areas. It concludes that our method can segment struts accurately and robustly. Furthermore, automatic struts malapposition analysis in clinical practice is feasible based on the segmentation results.

The 3D imaging of mesenchymal stem cells on porous scaffolds using high-contrasted x-ray computed nanotomography
摘要： This study presents an X-ray computed nanotomography (nano-CT) based, high-resolution imaging technique. Thanks to a voxel resolution of 540 nm, this novel technique is suitable for observing the 3D morphology of soft biopolymeric scaffolds seeded with stem cells. A sample of highly porous collagen scaffold seeded with contrasted mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) was investigated by using lab-based nano-CT. The whole volume of the sample was analysed without its destruction. To evaluate the potential of nano-CT, a comparison measurement was done using a standard microscopy technique. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) established an extension and local accumulation of the contrasting agent – heavy metallic osmium tetroxide. The presented imaging technique is novel as it will help to understand better the behaviour of cells while interacting with three-dimensional biomaterials. This is crucial for both experimental and clinical tissue engineering applications in order to limit the risk of uncontrolled cell growth, and potentially tumour formation.
