Article Abstract
Herein we report the solution-combustion-method-synthesized Tb- and Tb/Yb-doped GdGaO nanophosphors, which possess luminescent and magnetic properties. The phase formation/crystal structure, and morphology of the prepared nanophosphors are studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD)/Raman spectroscopy and a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), respectively. Tb/Yb-doped phosphor samples exhibit green emission with an intense band around 544 nm through downshifting (DS) and upconversion (UC) processes because of the D → F transition of Tb. In addition to this visible emission, these samples also show a NIR emission band around 1024 nm the quantum cutting (QC) process due to the F → F transition of Yb. Emission decay measurements of the D → F transition of Tb are performed to obtain the rate of energy transfer from Tb to nearby Yb. Furthermore, using this energy transfer, the quantum cutting efficiencies were estimated. For their practical application, a selected sample was used to fabricate a LED device by combining the sample with a UV-C LED (274 nm). The obtained results, such as the activation energy (∼0.20 eV) and the high CRI value (78), suggest that the prepared sample can be utilized as a green-light-emitting agent in phosphor-coated (pc) WLEDs.

In most eubacteria the initiator protein DnaA triggers chromosomal replication by forming an initiation complex at the origin of replication and also functions as a transcriptional regulator, coordinating gene expression with cell cycle progression. While DnaA-regulated genes are relatively well characterized in exponentially growing cells, its role in gene regulation during stationary phase remains insufficiently explored. Here, using an aquatic bacterium Caulobacter crescentus as a model, we show that C.

The aim of our study was to document and analyze the long-term geometric alterations that occur in the infrarenal aorta and iliac arteries over time after a successful elective standard endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair (EVAR) as well as to investigate the potential relationship of aortoiliac remodeling with the long-term complications of EVAR. The prospectively collected clinical and computed tomography angiography (CTA) data from 168 patients treated with elective standard EVAR between 2013 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Follow-up assessments were performed at 1, 24, and 60 months postoperatively.

Mechanistic studies of biomolecular machines involved in intracellular protein degradation-such as the caseinolytic protease P, ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities (AAA+) motors, and the high-temperature requirement A family of enzymes-are of great interest as they are implicated in a host of human diseases. The function of these systems is dependent on both their fine-tuned three-dimensional structure and the conformational dynamics that modulate this structure. Their large sizes, inherent conformational plasticity, and oligomeric heterogeneity dictate that their mechanism of action cannot be deciphered by any one method.

The transition of healthy contractile vascular smooth muscle cells to an inflammatory and senescent phenotype is a key driver of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Although CD147 is highly expressed in VSMCs and upregulated in aneurysmal tissue, the precise role of VSMC-derived CD147 in phenotypic switching and AAA pathogenesis remains elusive. Here, we identified a previously unrecognized nuclear localization of CD147 in VSMCs, and pathological stimuli upregulated the nuclear CD147 expression through reactive oxygen species-dependent mechanisms.
