Article Abstract

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are appealing platforms for photocatalysts because of their structural diversity and adjustable optical band gaps. The construction of efficient COFs for heterogeneous photocatalysis of organic transformations is highly desirable. Herein, we constructed a photoactive COF containing benzothiadiazole and triazine (BTDA-TAPT), for which the morphology and crystallinity might be easily tuned by slight synthetic variation. To unveil the relationship of photocatalytic properties between the structure and morphology, analogous COFs were synthesized by precisely tailoring building blocks. Systematic investigations indicated that tuning the structure and morphology might greatly impact photoelectric properties. The BTDA-TAPT featuring ordered alignment and perfect crystalline nature was more beneficial for promoting charge transfer and separation, which exhibited superior photocatalytic activity for visible light-driven oxidative coupling of amines. Outcomes from this study reveal the intrinsic synergy effects between the structure and morphology of COFs for photocatalysis.

The anterior commissure (AC) has an anterior and posterior limb. Despite comprehensive information about the posterior limb, there is limited and conflicting information about the anterior limb in the literature. We aimed to show the anatomical relationships of the AC with neighboring structures by using white matter microdissection and magnetic resonance (MR) tractography, primarily on the anterior limb of the AC.

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of brain structures in patients with noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) using source-based morphometry (SBM) and to evaluate the correlation between abnormal brain regions and clinical data.

Methods: High-resolution 3D T1 structural images were acquired from 81 patients with NIHL and 74 age- and education level-matched healthy controls (HCs). The clinical data of all subjects were collected, including noise exposure time, monaural hearing threshold weighted values (MTWVs), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) scores.

Background: Staging laparoscopy (SL) is an essential procedure for peritoneal metastasis (PM) detection. Although surgeons are expected to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions intraoperatively, this task remains difficult and error-prone. The aim of this study was to develop a novel multimodal machine learning (MML) model to differentiate PM from benign lesions by integrating morphologic characteristics with intraoperative SL images.

Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO) is a semiconductor with multiferroic properties, synthesized by the sol-gel method. While static high-pressure studies have advanced our understanding of the phase behavior of BiFeO, the effects of dynamic pressure acoustic shock waves remain unexplored. In this study, BiFeO was subjected to 100 shock pulses with 0.

In recent years, photosensitizer-based phototherapy has gained increasing attention in antibacterial applications due to its low cost, noninvasive nature, and low drug resistance. Among various materials, porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have demonstrated great potential, due to their good biocompatibility, facile designability, and excellent light absorption capabilities that enable highly efficient antibacterial efficacy. However, further optimization of their antibacterial performance remains a key challenge.
