Data_Sheet_1_Epidemiological characteristics and prediction model construction of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in Quzhou City, China, 2005–2022.docx
BackgroundHemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is one of the 10 major infectious diseases that jeopardize human health and is distributed in more than 30 countries around the world. China is the country with the highest number of reported HFRS cases worldwide, accounting for 90% of global cases. The incidence level of HFRS in Quzhou is at the forefront of Zhejiang Province, and there is no specific treatment for it yet. Therefore, it is crucial to grasp the epidemiological characteristics of HFRS in Quzhou and establish a prediction model for HFRS to lay the foundation for early warning of HFRS.MethodsDescriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the epidemic characteristics of HFRS, the incidence map was drawn by ArcGIS software, the Seasonal AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) and Prophet model were established by R software. Then, root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) were used to evaluate the fitting and prediction performances of the model.ResultsA total of 843 HFRS cases were reported in Quzhou City from 2005 to 2022, with the highest annual incidence rate in 2007 (3.93/100,000) and the lowest in 2022 (1.05/100,000) (P trendConclusionFrom 2005 to 2022, the incidence of HFRS in Quzhou City showed an overall downward trend, but the epidemic in high-incidence areas was still serious. In the future, the dynamics of HFRS outbreaks and host animal surveillance should be continuously strengthened in combination with the Prophet model. During the peak season, HFRS vaccination and health education are promoted with farmers as the key groups.</p
Synthesis and Self-Assembly of Perylenetetracarboxylic Diimide Derivatives with Helical Oligo(l‑lactic acid)<sub><i>n</i></sub> Segments
Three perylenetetracarboxylic diimide (PDI) derivatives
consisting
of a short oligoÂ(l-lactic acid)<sub><i>n</i></sub> (O-LLA) segment at one imide nitrogen were synthesized. The polymers
were characterized by <sup>1</sup>H NMR and gel permeation chromatography
(GPC). Their properties were investigated by differential scanning
calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments, scanning electron
microscopy (SEM), electronic absorption, and circular dichroism (CD)
spectroscopy. The self-assembly behavior of these PDIs in molten state
as well as in solvent was examined. It was found that the structure
and the morphology of the self-assembly of these polymers depend on
the relative length of the O-LLA segment. The PDIs with longer O-LLA
chains present liquid crystal properties with an obvious phase transition
from disordered phase to an ordered (α) phase, which cannot
be found for the PDIs with short O-LLA segments. The long O-LLA segments
also caused a left-handed helicity for the aggregates of the PDIs
from solution. This research demonstrated that one can control the
order, aggregation mode, and morphology of the molecular aggregates
by changing the length of the O-LLA chains. This information can be
useful in the design of new organic materials that exhibit molecular
aggregation
Specific Imaging of Tyrosinase in Vivo with 3‑Hydroxybenzyl Caged D‑Luciferins
Tyrosinase
(TYR), a key enzyme in biosynthesis of melanin, usually
functions as a biomarker of severe skin diseases such as vitiligo
and melanoma cancer. Accurate detection of TYR activity in vivo is
urgent but still challenging. Inspired by the advantages of bioluminescence
in vivo strategy in imaging and the specific hydroxylation of 3-hydroxybenzyloxy
group by TYR, a bioluminogenic probe, TYR–LH<sub>2</sub>, was
designed and synthesized through caging D-luciferin with
3-hydroxybenzyl. The probe exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity
toward TYR with a detection limit of 0.11 U/mL in a small detection
volume of 100 μL. Bioluminescence imaging results show that
TYR–LH<sub>2</sub> is fully competent for monitoring the dynamic
changes of TYR in living cells and model animals and possesses the
capability of discriminating melanocytes from other cell lines, thus
offering a promising approach for investigation and diagnosis of melanoma
cancer and other TYR-related diseases in vivo
Sensing in 15 s for Aqueous Fluoride Anion by Water-Insoluble Fluorescent Probe Incorporating Hydrogel
Anion recognition and sensing via
artificial receptors have attracted
a great deal of attention since they play a fundamental and important
role in chemical, biological, medical, and environmental processes.
Fluoride, as one of the smallest anions, is of particular interest
because of its role in dental care and the analysis of drinking water.
Herein, we invented a new method for F<sup>–</sup> detection
by adopting the hydrogel as the supporter of reaction between a water
insoluble fluorescent probe and F<sup>–</sup> in the water
environment. This method is highly rapid, selective, and sensitive,
which can determine F<sup>–</sup> levels in 15 s at the drinking
water standard. A novel compound <i>N</i>-(3-(benzoÂ[d]Âthiazol-2-yl)-4-(tert-butyldiphenylsilyloxy)Âphenyl)
acetamide (BTBPA) was synthesized as the fluorescent probe because
of the significant fluorescent color change from blue to green after
the reaction with F<sup>–</sup>. This method does not require
the probe substances to be water-soluble, which greatly expands the
range of the specific fluorescent molecules used in ion detection.
Additionally, just a few microliter samples were required in the analysis
procedures with this method
A Single-Component Molecular Glass Resist Based on Tetraphenylsilane Derivatives for Electron Beam Lithography
A novel molecular glass (TPSiS) with photoacid generator
(sulfonium
salt group) binding to tetraphenylsilane derivatives was synthesized
and characterized. The physical properties such as solubility, film-forming
ability, and thermal stability of TPSiS were examined to assess the
suitability for application as a candidate for photoresist materials.
The sulfonium salt unit underwent photolysis to effectively generate
photoacid on UV irradiation, which catalyzed the deprotection of the t-butyloxycarbonyl groups. It demonstrates that the TPSiS
can be used as a ‘single-component’ molecular resist
without any additives. The lithographic performance of the TPSiS resist
was evaluated by electron beam lithography. The TPSiS resist can resolve
25 nm dense line/space patterns and 16 nm L/4S semidense line/space
patterns at a dose of 45 and 85 μC/cm2 for negative-tone
development (NTD). The etching selectivity of the TPSiS resist to
Si substrate is 8.6 under SF6/O2 plasma, indicating
a potential application. Contrast analysis suggests that the significant
solubility switch within a narrow exposure dose range (18–47
μC/cm2) by NTD is favorable for high-resolution patterns.
This study supplies useful guidelines for the optimization and development
of single-component molecular glass resists with high lithographic
performance
Molecular Engineering of Aqueous Soluble Triarylboron-Compound-Based Two-Photon Fluorescent Probe for Mitochondria H<sub>2</sub>S with Analyte-Induced Finite Aggregation and Excellent Membrane Permeability
Hydrogen
sulfide (H<sub>2</sub>S) is a multifunctional signaling
molecule that participates in many important biological processes.
Herein, by functionalizing triarylboron with cyclen and diphenylamine,
we synthesized TAB-1, TAB-2, and TAB-3 for H<sub>2</sub>S recongnization
by rational design of molecular structures. Among them, aqueous soluble
TAB-2 possesses excellent properties, including large two-photon action
cross section, membrane permeability and can effectively complex with
Cu<sup>2+</sup>. The complex of TAB-2-Cu<sup>2+</sup> can selectively
detect H<sub>2</sub>S with an instant response and mitochondria targeted.
Moreover, the H<sub>2</sub>S-induced finite aggregation of indicators
enhances their photostability and causes variation of the fluorescence
lifetime. TAB-2-Cu<sup>2+</sup> has also been successfully applied
for the mitochondria H<sub>2</sub>S imaging in NIH/3T3 fibroblast
cells by TPM and FLIM
Intracellular Fluorescent Temperature Probe Based on Triarylboron Substituted Poly <i>N</i>‑Isopropylacrylamide and Energy Transfer
A novel
hydrophilic fluorescence temperature probe (PNDP) based
on polarity-sensitive triarylboron compound (DPTB) and PNIPAM is designed
and synthesized. In order to overcome the shortcomings of the single-intensity-based
sensing mechanism and obtain more robust signals, ratiometric readout
is achieved by designing an efficient FRET system (PNDP-NR) between
DPTB and Nile Red (NR). PNDP-NR possesses some excellent features,
including wide temperature range, good linear relationship, high temperature
resolution, excellent reversibility, and stability. Within a sensing
temperature range of 30–55 °C, the fluorescence color
of PNDP-NR experiences significant change from red to green-blue.
PNDP-NR is also introduced into NIH/3T3 cells to sense the temperature
at the single-cell level. It gave excellent photostability and low
cytotoxicity in vivo
Molecular Dual-Rotators with Large Consecutive Emission Chromism for Visualized and High-Pressure Sensing
Low-cost,
stable, highly sensitive, and easy-to-equip fluorescent
high-pressure sensors are always attractive in both industrial and
scientific communities. Organic emitting materials with pressure-dependent
bathochromisms usually exhibit prominent mechanoluminescence, due
to disturbance of intermolecular packing. This hinders their applications
in stable and robust pressure sensing. In this work, we have developed
a mechanically stable organic molecular pressure sensor, caused by
intramolecular consecutive rotations by pressure, which exhibit large
and eye-detectable emission bathochromism from yellow-green to red
fluorescence and can be used for 0–15 GPa pressure sensing.
The emission bathochromism shows good linear relationship with pressure,
exhibiting a high linear coefficient of 9.1 nm/GPa. Moreover, this
molecular sensor exhibits high thermal and mechanical stabilities,
indicating good potentials for robust and outdoor applications
