Artificial light-harvesting dendritic system with sequential energy transfer and ultrahigh antenna effect for efficient photocatalysis in aqueous solution.

An efficient two-step sequential supramolecular artificial light-harvesting system has been successfully constructed using self-assembled nanoparticles of cyanostilbene-cored dendrimers (CS-1 and CS-2) as donors, along with the fluorescent dye Nile red (NiR) and near-infrared (NIR) emitter MTSIC as acceptors in aqueous media. Through supramolecular interactions, the dendritic assemblies efficiently transfer energy in a sequential manner, first to NiR and then to MTSIC, resulting in an exceptionally high antenna effect (up to 97.7) and near-quantitative energy transfer efficiencies (reaching 99.

Jieduquyuziyin Prescription alleviates hepatic gluconeogenesis via PI3K/Akt/PGC-1α pathway in glucocorticoid-induced MRL/lpr mice.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Jieduquyuziyin prescription (JP) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula. According to both TCM theory and more than a decade of clinical practice, JP has been testified to be effective for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) treatment as an approved hospital prescription in China.

Aim Of The Study: To determine the effect of JP on the treatment of SLE by glucocorticoid (GC) and to further examine the molecular mechanisms.
