Article Abstract

We study two types of water/alcohol-soluble aliphatic amines, polyethylenimine (PEI) and polyethylenimine-ethoxylated (PEIE), for their suitability as electron injection layers in solution-processed blue fluorescent organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is used to determine the nominal thickness of the polymer layers while ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy is carried out to determine the induced work-function change of the silver cathode. The determined work-function shifts are as high as 1.5 eV for PEI and 1.3 eV for PEIE. Furthermore, atomic force microscopy images reveal that homogeneous PEI and PEIE layers are present at nominal thicknesses of about 11 nm. Finally, we solution prepare blue emitting polymer-based OLEDs using PEI/PEIE in combination with Ag as cathode layers. Luminous efficiency reaches 3 and 2.2 cd A(-1), whereas maximum luminance values are as high as 8000 and 3000 cd m(-2) for PEI and PEIE injection layers, respectively. The prepared devices show a comparable performance to Ca/Ag OLEDs and an improved shelf lifetime.

Persistent Nodules on Necklines Following Hyaluronic Acid Filler: A Case Report.

J Cosmet Dermatol

September 2025

Department of Dermatology, College of Medicine, Imam Mohammad Bin Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Background: Necklines are a common complaint in patients as they are a sign of aging. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are widely used to address volume loss and linear depressions. HA fillers are safe, effective, and versatile, but their use for necklines is not well-documented in the literature.

Rationale: Prolapsed hemorrhoids can impair quality of life due to associated symptoms such as pain. While hemorrhoidectomy is considered the gold standard for treating prolapsed hemorrhoids, this procedure inevitably involves complications such as postoperative pain, bleeding, and delayed recovery. Therefore, there is an increasing need for treatment options that are immediate, effective, and minimally invasive, while also taking into account patients' physical and social backgrounds, preferences, and values.

Unlabelled: Automated analysis of optical coherence tomography (OCT) biomarkers improves the prediction of results of loading anti-VEGF therapy of vascular pigment epithelial detachment (PED) associated with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

Objective: This study evaluated the effectiveness of OCT biomarker analysis algorithm in predicting the anatomical outcomes of loading anti-VEGF therapy for vascular PED in nAMD.

Material And Methods: OCT scans performed prior to loading anti-VEGF therapy were analyzed using the algorithm in 69 treatment-naïve nAMD patients (70 eyes) with vascular PED exceeding 200 µm in height.

Introduction: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults, with limited effective treatments available. This study aimed to investigate the pharmacological effects of dihydromyricetin (DHM) on AMD and to identify its putative pharmacological targets through network analysis and molecular docking approaches.

Methods: experiments established an AMD model using sodium iodate (SI)-induced ARPE-19 cells, with CCK-8 assays determining 15 mM SI as the optimal modeling concentration and 100 μM DHM as the optimal treatment concentration.

Mesoporous metal nanomaterials (MMNs) have gained interest in biomedicine for their unique properties, but their potential is limited by the predominance of spherical shapes and the neglect of morphological effects on biological activity, which hinders the reasonable evaluation of morphology-dependent enzyme-like activities and biological behaviors and its further biomedical applications. It is therefore imperative to find an effective and facile method to design and prepare MMNs with novel, well-defined morphologies. Herein, we fabricated 3 mesoporous platinum nanoenzymes including sphere, rod, and bipyramid topologies [Au@mesoPt sphere, Au@mesoPt rod, and Au@mesoPt bipyramid nanoparticles (NPs), respectively] via a facile atomic layer deposition method using gold NPs (Au NPs) as the templated cores and Pluronic F127 as a structure-directing agent.
