Abstract

The self-assembly of cluster-based halide framework materials has been a matter of great interest but with great challenges. Herein, by exploiting hexamethylenetetramine (Hmta) with Td symmetry as a structural modifier, we successfully constructed and systematically characterized an unusual three-dimensional (3D) hybrid bromoargentate, namely K[NH4][Ag4Br6(Hmta)] (1), bearing a diamond-type [Ag4Br6(Hmta)]n2n− anionic skeleton built up from adamantane-like units of inorganic [Ag4Br6] clusters and organic Hmta ligands. UV–Vis diffuse reflectance analysis showed that the optical bandgap of the title compound was 2.68 eV, indicating a visible-light-responsive semiconductive behavior. More importantly, upon alternate light illumination, the so-designed compound exhibited remarkable photoelectric switching properties, with photocurrent densities (0.38 and 1.10 μA cm−2 for visible and full-spectrum light, respectively) that compete well with and even exceed those of some high-performance metal halide counterparts. Further theoretical calculations, including band structure, density of states, and wave functions, revealed that compound 1 has a unique valence band and conduction band distribution, rendering it with small effective masses (especially the electrons), which may be responsible for its good photoelectricity. Furthermore, in this work, Hirshfeld surface analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies were performed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Aims: Previous studies found a relationship between elevated phenylalanine levels and poor cardiovascular outcomes. Potential strategies are available to manipulate phenylalanine metabolism. This study investigated whether increased phenylalanine predicted mortality in critical patients with either acute heart failure (HF) or acute on chronic HF, and its correlation with inflammation and immune cytokines. Methods and results: This study recruited 152 subjects, including 115 patients with HF admitted for critical conditions and 37 normal controls. We measured left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), plasma concentrations of phenylalanine, C‐reactive protein, albumin, pre‐albumin, transferrin, and pro‐inflammatory and immune cytokines. Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), and maximal vasoactive–inotropic scores (VISmax) were calculated. Patients were followed up until death or a maximum of 1 year. The primary endpoint was all‐cause death. Of the 115 patients, 37 (32.2%) were admitted owing to acute HF, and 78 (67.8%) were admitted owing to acute on chronic HF; 64 (55.7%) had ST elevation/non‐ST elevation myocardial infarction. An LVEF measured during the hospitalization of <40%, 40–50%, and ≥50% was noted in 51 (44.3%), 15 (13.1%), and 49 (42.6%) patients, respectively. During 1 year follow‐up, 51 (44.3%) patients died. Death was associated with higher APACHE II, SOFA, and VISmax scores; higher levels of C‐reactive protein and phenylalanine; higher incidence of atrial fibrillation and use of inotropic agents; lower cholesterol, albumin, pre‐albumin, and transferrin levels; and significant changes in pro‐inflammatory and immune cytokines. Phenylalanine levels demonstrated an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.80 for mortality, with an optimal cut‐off value set at 112 μM. Phenylalanine ≥ 112 μM was associated with a higher mortality rate than was phenylalanine < 112 μM (80.5% vs. 24.3%, P < 0.001) [hazard ratio = 5.07 (2.83–9.05), P < 0.001]. The Kaplan–Meier curves revealed that phenylalanine ≥ 112 μM was associated with a lower accumulative survival rate (log rank = 36.9, P < 0.001). Higher phenylalanine levels were correlated with higher APACHE II and SOFA scores, higher C‐reactive protein levels and incidence of using inotropic agents, and changes in cytokines suggestive of immunosuppression, but lower levels of pre‐albumin and transferrin. Further multivariable analysis showed that phenylalanine ≥ 112 μM predicted death over 1 year independently of age, APACHE II and SOFA scores, atrial fibrillation, C‐reactive protein, cholesterol, pre‐albumin, transferrin, and interleukin‐8 and interleukin‐10. Conclusions: Elevated phenylalanine levels predicted mortality in critical patients, phenotypically predominantly presenting with HF, independently of traditional prognostic factors and cytokines associated with inflammation and immunity.

Abstract

The network structure of the smart substation in common use was introduced, and the technical problem of the shared-network of sampled measured value (SMV) and generic object oriented substation event (GOOSE) was analyzed, such as the processing ability of network device and the intelligent device, the data real-time property and the network reliability, the effects to the substation in the condition of network fault, and so on. On this basis, the feasibility of the shared-network of SMV and GOOSE was discussed, the implement scheme were presented, and eventually came to the solution of the shared-network of SMV and GOOSE, which based on the applications of the message priority control, restricting the switch number, virtual local area network (VLAN) and GARP multicast registration protocol (GMRP) classification flow control, etc. In the test-bed, the cases of shared-network and separate-network of SMV and GOOSE were compared and analyzed, and the result was valuable for reference.
