Melatonin‐Based and Biomimetic Scaffold as Muscle–ECM Implant for Guiding Myogenic Differentiation of Volumetric Muscle Loss

Volumetric muscle loss (VML) caused by injury or trauma affects the quality of life directly, due to its high incidence, lingering healing, and prolonged duration. Tissue engineered scaffolds have been widely used in muscle regeneration for patients with massive muscle injury. Melatonin (MLT) is a bioactive substance secreted by the pineal gland, which can promote muscle recovery by inhibiting oxidative stress and inflammation. Herein, a biocompatible scaffold is developed using thiolated hyaluronic acid (HA‐SH), collagen I (COL I), and polycaprolactone/melatonin (PCL/MLT) electrospun membranes. This scaffold mimics extracellular matrix (ECM) and architectural features of native muscle, possesses appropriate mechanical property, stiffness and promotes vascularization. It can provide adhesion sites for C2C12 cells and induce their proliferation and differentiation. Moreover, VML rat model is established to evaluate its effect on muscle regeneration. Results demonstrate that this scaffold possesses a practical application for VML.

A simplified exact expression of SEP for cross QAM in AWGN channel from M × N rectangular QAM and its usefulness in Nakagami-m fading channel

This paper derives a simple exact expression of symbol error probability (SEP) for general order cross QAM constellation in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. The key idea is to obtain this novel expression from a simple analysis of the corresponding rectangular QAM. The analysis of the expression involves simple one dimensional Gaussian Q functions unlike other complex SEP expressions. A simple tight bound approximation of the proposed exact SEP is also given, which provides performance improvement over the existing SEP approximations, particularly for low signal to noise ratios (SNRs). Also, with the help of simulation results, we show that the proposed approximation is in excellent agreement with the exact SEP curve. Moreover, the proposed expressions prove to be useful for accurate estimation of the SEP in Nakagami-m fading channel, including the special case of Rayleigh fading (m = 1).     

稀土离子掺杂对钨酸盐荧光粉发光性能的研究(英文)

红色荧光粉的在制备荧光转换型白光LED时是不可或缺的,因为红色荧光粉在制备高显色指数白光LED中发挥着重要的作用。LiEuW2O8是最近几年最新发展起来的一种很有潜力的红色荧光粉。主要研究了稀土离子掺杂对LiEuW2O8发光性能的影响。采用高温固相法制备钨酸锂铕系列红色荧光粉。La3+和Sm3+取代LiEuW2O8中的Eu3+,La3+和Sm3+通过再吸收的方式将能量传递给Eu3+,实现对Eu3+的敏化作用。La3+和Sm3+的掺杂并没有改变样品的激发和发射峰,也没有改变晶体结构,但是掺入后能显著提高样品的发射强度。La3+的最佳掺杂量(物质的量分数)为3%,Sm3+的最佳掺杂量为4%。

A Systematic Approach to Achieving High Performance Hybrid Lighting Phosphors with Excellent Thermal‐ and Photostability

The authors have designed and synthesized a family of high‐performance inorganic–organic hybrid phosphor materials composed of extended and robust networks of one, two, and three dimensions. Following a bottom‐up solution‐based synthetic approach, these structures are constructed by connecting highly emissive Cu₄I₄ cubic clusters via carefully selected ligands that form strong Cu? N bonds. They emit intensive yellow‐orange light with high luminescence quantum efficiency, coupled with large Stokes shift, which greatly reduces self‐absorption. They also demonstrate exceptionally high framework‐ and photostability, comparable to those of commercial phosphors. The high stabilities are the result of significantly enhanced Cu? N bonds, as confirmed by the density functional theory (DFT) binding energy and electron density calculations. Possible emission mechanisms are analyzed based on the results of theoretical calculations and optical experiments. Two‐component white phosphors obtained by blending blue and yellow emitters reach an internal quantum yield as high as 82% and correlated color temperature as low as 2534 K. The performance level of this subfamily exceeds all other types of Cu–I based hybrid systems. The combined advantages make them excellent candidates as alternative rare‐earth element‐free phosphors for possible use in energy‐efficient lighting devices.     

ZnS薄膜生长温度对ZnS/PS体系结构和发光的影响

用电化学阳极氧化法制备了一定孔隙率的多孔硅(PS,Porous Silicon)样品,然后以PS为衬底用脉冲激光沉积(PLD)的方法在100℃、200℃和300℃下生长ZnS薄膜.X射线衍射(XRD)结果表明,样品都在28.5°附近有一个较强的衍射峰,对应于β-ZnS(111)晶向,说明薄膜沿该方向择优取向生长,但由于衬底PS粗糙的表面结构,衍射峰的半高全宽(FWHM)较大.随着ZnS薄膜生长温度的升高,薄膜的衍射峰强度逐渐增强.扫描电子显微镜(SEM)像显示,随着薄膜生长温度的升高,构成薄膜的纳米晶粒生长变大.室温下的光致发光(PL)谱表明,随着薄膜生长温度的升高,ZnS的发光强度增强而PS的发光强度减弱,把ZnS的蓝绿光与PS的红光叠加,在可见光区450～700 nm形成了一个较宽的光致发光谱带,呈现较强的白光发射.
