Photoactivatable agent is a powerful tool in biomedicine studies due to high-precision spatiotemporal control of light. However, those previously reported agents generally suffer from short wavelength, fluorescence self-quenching effect, and the lack of photosensitizing property, which severely restrict their practical applications. To address these issues, molecular engineering of 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives is conducted to obtain an optimized agent, namely TPA-DHPy-Py, which exhibits low oxidation potential, high photoactivation efficiency, and excellent type I/II combined photodynamic activity. Concurrently, its photoactivated counterpart is featured by aggregation-induced near-infrared emission and remarkable reactive oxygen species (ROS) production efficiency. Upon photoactivation, TPA-DHPy-Py is capable of precisely identifying cancer cells from co-culturing cancer cells and normal cells without the assistance of any extra targeting units, and in situ monitoring lipid droplets and endoplasmic reticulum alteration under ROS stress, as well as achieving fluorescent visualization of tumor in vivo with supremely high imaging contrast. Furthermore, the unprecedented performance on photodynamic cancer therapy is demonstrated by the significant inhibition of tumor growth. Therefore, the photoactivatable TPA-DHPy-Py with dual-organelle-targeted and excellent photodynamic activity associated with self-monitoring ability is highly promising for cancer theranostics in clinical trials. 相似文献
Just-in-time defect prediction can remind software developers and managers to verify and fix bugs at the moment they appeared, thus improving the effectiveness and validity of bug fixing. Existing studies mainly focus on just-in-time prediction for software files (JIT-F). JIT-F is a binary classification problem, which classifies (hence predicts) a file change as buggy or clean. This article provides a detailed analysis of just-in-time defect prediction for software hunks (JIT-H), which predicts bugs at a finer level of granularity, and hence further improves the efficiency of bug fixing. Classification is performed using the ensemble technique of bagging—aggregated combinations of random under sampling plus multiple classifiers (J48 and Random Forest). An empirical study with 10 open source projects was conducted to validate the effectiveness of JIT-H. Experimental results show that JIT-H is effective at predicting defects in software hunk changes. Compared with JIT-F, JIT-H is more cost effective. Additionally, analysis on the change features indicates that Text Vector features and hunk change level features are of more importance than features in other groups and levels. 相似文献
Clustering divides objects into groups based on similarity. However, traditional clustering approaches are plagued by their difficulty in dealing with data with complex structure and high dimensionality, as well as their inability in solving multi-objective data clustering problems. To address these issues, an evolutionary state-based novel multi-objective periodic bacterial foraging optimization algorithm (ES-NMPBFO) is proposed in this article. The algorithm is designed to alleviate the high-computing complexity of the standard bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) algorithm by introducing periodic BFO. Moreover, two learning strategies, global best individual (gbest) and personal historical best individual (pbest), are used in the chemotaxis operation to enhance the convergence speed and guide the bacteria to the optimum position. Two elimination-dispersal operations are also proposed to prevent falling into local optima and improve the diversity of solutions. The proposed algorithm is compared with five other algorithms on six validity indexes in two data clustering cases comprising nine general benchmark datasets and four credit risk assessment datasets. The experimental results suggest that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms the competing approaches. To further examine the effectiveness of the proposed strategies, two variants of ES-NMPBFO were designed, and all three forms of ES-NMPBFO were tested. The experimental results show that all of the proposed strategies are conducive to the improvement of solution quality, diversity and convergence. 相似文献
The issues of hydrogen generation and storage have hindered the widespread use and commercialization of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.It is thus highly attractive,but the design and development of highly active non-noble-metal catalysts for on-demand hydrogen release from alkaline NaBH4 solution under mild conditions remains a key challenge.Herein,we describe the use of CoP nanowire array integrated on a Ti mesh (CoP NA/Ti) as a three-dimensional (3D) monolithic catalyst for efficient hydrolytic dehydrogenation of NaBH4 in basic solutions.The CoP NA/Ti works as an on/off switch for on-demand hydrogen generation at a rate of 6,500 mL/(min.g) and a low activation energy of 41 kJ/mol.It is highly robust for repeated usage after recycling,without sacrificing catalytic performance.Remarkably,this catalyst also performs efficiently for the hydrolysis of NH3BH3. 相似文献

C dots (CDs) have shown great potential in bioimaging and phototherapy. However, it is challenging to manipulate their fluorescent properties and therapeutic efficacy to satisfy the requirements for clinic applications. In this study, we prepared S, Se-codoped CDs via a hydrothermal method and demonstrated that the doping resulted in excitation wavelength-independent near-infrared (NIR) emissions of the CDs, with peaks at 731 and 820 nm. Significantly, the CDs exhibited a photothermal conversion efficiency of ~58.2%, which is the highest reported value for C nanostructures and is comparable to that of Au nanostructures. Moreover, the CDs had a large two-photon absorption cross section (~30,045 GM), which allowed NIR emissions and the photothermal conversion of the CDs through the two-photon excitation (TPE) mechanism. In vitro and in vivo tests suggested that CDs can function as new multifunctional phototheranostic agents for the TPE fluorescence imaging and photothermal therapy of cancer cells.
