Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has significantly advanced NIR light sources. However, creating NIR emitters with optimal luminescence properties, high thermal stability, and adjustable emission peaks poses a critical challenge for future smart NIR devices. We introduced a chemical unit cosubstitution strategy by incorporating Ca 2+ and Sn 4+ ions into the garnet structure. Through this approach, Y 3− y Ca y Ga 4.95− y Sn y G 12 :0.05Cr 3+ ( y = 0–1) phosphors were developed by modulating the A&C ligands, resulting in emission centers ranging from 708 to 768 nm. The modified local environment of Cr 3+ accounts for the increased light intensity (2.71 times) and broadening observed. Furthermore, this study investigated the impact of varying Cr 3+ concentrations (Y 2.6 Ca 0.4 Ga 4.6− x Sn 0.4 G 12 : x Cr 3+ ) on the production of high-performance phosphors. Compared with Y 3 Ga 4.93 G 12 :0.07Cr 3+ , the optimized phosphor exhibited exceptional external quantum efficiency (EQE = 34.96%). The luminescence enhancement is attributed to an increase in radiative transitions caused by octahedral Jahn-Teller distortion, whereas the notable thermal stability (91.3% at 423 K) is attributed to the presence of weak electron-phonon coupling (EPC) and oxygen vacancy (O V ) defects. Finally, by combining it with a 450 nm blue LED chip, we constructed a near-infrared phosphor-converted LED (NIR pc-LED) device with superior electroluminescence efficiency (18.8% @ 100 mA), increasing the ultralow quenching rate (< 5% intensity loss after 30 days of operation) and demonstrating remarkable performance in plant lighting applications.

Near-infrared phosphor conversion light emitting diode (NIR pc-LED) has important application value in plant growth, night vision imaging and biological detection. Its performance depends on the optimized design of fluorescent materials. Based on gadolinium gallium garnet (Gd 3 Ga 5 O 12 ), the near-infrared phosphors of Gd 2.5 (CaSn) 0.5 (InAl) 0.5 Ga 3.5-x O 12 : xCr 3+ (x = 0.01–0.09) were prepared by Ca 2+ -Sn 4+ /In 3+ -Al 3+ double ion pair synergistic substitution strategy. Under excitation of 450 nm blue light, the material exhibits broadband near-infrared emission covering the range of 650–1150 nm, with a quantum yield of 96.29 %. The material exhibits excellent thermal stability of luminescence and can maintain 82.4 % of the initial emission intensity at room temperature at 423K. The NIR pc-LED device based on this phosphor package achieved 67.37 mW output power and 16.68 % photoelectric conversion efficiency at 100 mA driving current. Application verification shows that the NIR pc-LED light source shows excellent performance in plant supplementary light, night vision security, information encryption and nondestructive testing applications. It fully proves that the broadband near-infrared emission of this series of phosphors can take into account multi-functional application scenarios and has broad development prospects.

Ethnopharmacological relevance Alpinia officinarum Hance is a perennial natural medicine herbivorous plant, has been used in the management of treat stomach pain and diabetes, it is abundantly cultivated in Qiongzhong, Baisha and other places. P. cablin (Blanco) Benth, one of the most important traditional Chinese plants, which plays functions in antioxidant and gastrointestinal regulation, has been extensively planted in Hainan, Guangdong and other regions. Aim of the study In this study, we investigated the role and underlying molecular mechanism of AP on diabetic gastroparesis (DGP) in vitro and in vivo . Materials and methods In this study, using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) to identify active compounds in A. officinarum Hance– P. cablin (Blanco) Benth drug pair (AP). Molecular docking were utilized to explore the potential mechanism of AP treatment of DGP. In in vitro assays, gastric smooth muscle cells (GSMCs) were treated with 35 mM glucose to promote apoptosis and construct the DGP model, which was treated with different concentrations of AP. Furthermore, transfection technology was used to overexpress RAGE in GSMCs and elucidate the underlying mechanisms of alleviation of DGP by AP. Results Using UPLC-MS/MS analysis, nine components of AP were identified. We found that AP effectively blocked the increase in apoptosis, oxidative stress, and intracellular Ca 2+ concentrations. For in vivo experiments, mice were fed with a high-fat irregular diet to construct DGP model, and AP was co-administered via oral gavage daily to prevent the development of DGP. Compared with DGP mice, AP significantly decreased fasting blood glucose levels and increased gastric emptying levels. Consistent with in vitro experiments, AP also considerably decreased the increase in oxidative stress in DGP mice. Mechanistically, AP alleviates apoptosis and DGP by decreasing oxidative stress and intracellular Ca 2+ concentrations via the inhibition of the AGE/RAGE axis. Conclusions Collectively, this study has established that AP can improve DGP, and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition the AGE/RAGE axis to mitigate apoptosis and DGP. To summarize, this study provides a novel supplementary strategy for DGP treatment.

The immune mechanism elicited in pufferfish ( Takifugu obscurus ) against the invasion of Aeromonas hydrophila is still poorly understood. We examined the spleen of pufferfish at the transcriptome and proteome levels by using Illumina-seq and TMT coupled mass spectrometry after 12 h infection by A. hydrophila , respectively. A total of 2,339 genes (1,512 up-regulated and 827 down-regulated) and 537 (237 up-regulated and 300 down-regulated) proteins were identified. GO and KEGG analyses revealed that the responses to stimulus were the main biological processes , intestinal immune network for IgT production and calcium signaling pathway . Fourteen genes (8 up-regulated and 6 down-regulated) and proteins (5 up-regulated and 9 down-regulated) involved immune responses or signal transduction were validated by qRT-PCR and parallel reaction monitoring to confirm the reliability of the transcriptomic and proteomic analyses, respectively. Moreover, qRT-PCR and flow cytometry were used to detect dynamics of the genes in calcium signaling pathway and changes of concentration of cytoplasm Ca 2+ in spleen cells within a 72 h challenge. This study provides the findings regarding immune response, especially intestinal immune network for IgT production pathway and calcium signaling pathway at the molecular, protein and cellular in pufferfish after infection by A. hydrophila . These results would provide a new insight and molecular targets into the response to pathogenic infection in pufferfish.

Infected bone defects are a major challenge in orthopedic treatment. Native bone tissue possesses an endogenous electroactive interface that induces stem cell differentiation and inhibits bacterial adhesion and activity. However, traditional bone substitutes have difficulty in reconstructing the electrical environment of bone. In this study, we develop a self-promoted electroactive mineralized scaffold (sp-EMS) that generates weak currents via spontaneous electrochemical reactions to activate voltage-gated Ca 2+ channels, enhance adenosine triphosphate-induced actin remodeling, and ultimately achieve osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by activating the BMP2/Smad5 pathway. Furthermore, we show that the electroactive interface provided by the sp-EMS inhibits bacterial adhesion and activity via electrochemical products and concomitantly generated reactive oxygen species. We find that the osteogenic and antibacterial dual functions of the sp-EMS depend on its self-promoting electrical stimulation. We demonstrate that in vivo, the sp-EMS achieves complete or nearly complete in situ infected bone healing, from a rat calvarial defect model with single bacterial infection, to a rabbit open alveolar bone defect model and a beagle dog vertical bone defect model with the complex oral bacterial microenvironment. This translational study demonstrates that the electroactive bone graft presents a promising therapeutic platform for complex defect repair.

Given the widespread clinical demand, addressing irregular cranial bone defects poses a significant challenge following surgical procedures and traumatic events. In situ-formed injectable hydrogels are attractive for irregular bone defects due to their ease of administration and the ability to incorporate ceramics, ions, and proteins into the hydrogel. In this study, a multifunctional hydrogel composed of oxidized sodium alginate (OSA)-grafted dopamine (DO), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), calcium ions (Ca2+), nanohydroxyapatite (nHA), and magnesium oxide (MgO) (DOCMCHM) was prepared to address irregular cranial bone defects via dynamic Schiff base and chelation reactions. DOCMCHM hydrogel exhibits strong adhesion to wet tissues, self-healing properties, and antibacterial characteristics. Biological evaluations indicate that DOCMCHM hydrogel has good biocompatibility, in vivo degradability, and the ability to promote cell proliferation. Importantly, DOCMCHM hydrogel, containing MgO, promotes the expression of osteogenic protein markers COL-1, OCN, and RUNX2, and stimulates the formation of new blood vessels by upregulating CD31. This study could provide meaningful insights into ion therapy for the repair of cranial bone defects.
