Expanding Olefin-Linked Covalent Organic Frameworks toward Selective Photocatalytic Oxidation of Organic Sulfides
Olefin-linked covalent organic frameworks
(COFs) have exhibited
great potential in visible-light photocatalysis. In principle, expanding
fully conjugated COFs can facilitate light absorption and charge transfer,
leading to improved photocatalysis. Herein, three olefin-linked COFs
with the same topology are synthesized by combining 2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazine
(TMT) with 1,3,5-triformylbenzene (TFB), 1,3,5-tris(4-formylphenyl)benzene
(TFPB), and 1,3,5-tris(4-formylphenylethynyl)benzene (TFPEB), namely,
TMT-TFB-COF, TMT-TFPB-COF, and TMT-TFPEB-COF, respectively. From TMT-TFB-COF
to TMT-TFPB-COF, expanding phenyl rings provides only limited expansion
for π-conjugation due to the steric effect of structural twisting.
However, from TMT-TFPB-COF to TMT-TFPEB-COF, the insertion of acetylenes
eliminates the steric effect and provides more delocalized π-electrons.
As such, TMT-TFPEB-COF exhibits the best optoelectronic properties
among these three olefin-linked COFs. Consequently, the photocatalytic
performance of TMT-TFPEB-COF is much better than those of TMT-TFB-COF
and TMT-TFPB-COF on the oxidation of organic sulfides into sulfoxides
with oxygen. The desirable reusability and substrate compatibility
of the TMT-TFPEB-COF photocatalyst are further confirmed. The selective
formation of organic sulfoxides over TMT-TFPEB-COF under blue light
irradiation proceeds via both electron- and energy-transfer pathways.
This work highlights a rational design of expanding the π-conjugation
of fully conjugated COFs toward selective visible-light photocatalysis
Table_1_The impact of patient-reported visual disturbance on dynamic visual acuity in myopic patients after corneal refractive surgery.DOCX
PurposeTo investigate the impact of patient-reported visual disturbance on dynamic visual acuity in myopic patients after corneal refractive surgery.MethodsThis is a prospective nonrandomized study. Adult myopic patients receiving bilateral laser-assisted sub-epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK), femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK), or small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) with Plano target were included. Eight types of patient-reported visual disturbance were evaluated regarding frequency, severity and bothersome and dynamic visual acuity (DVA) of 40 and 80 degrees per second (dps) was measured postoperatively at 3 months.ResultsThe study enrolled 95 patients with an average age of 27.6 ± 6.4 years. The most frequently reported visual disturbance was the fluctuation in vision (70.5%), followed by glare (66.3%) and halo (57.4%). Postoperative DVA at 80 dps was significantly associated with the total score of haloes (p = 0.038) and difficulty in judging distance (p = 0.046). Significant worse postoperative DVA at 40 dps was observed in patients with haloes than those without (p = 0.024). The DVA at 80 dps for patients without haloes or difficulty in judging distance was significantly better than that with the symptoms (haloes, p = 0.047; difficulty in judging distance, p = 0.029). Subgroup analysis by surgical procedures demonstrated that the significant difference in DVA between patients with and without visual disturbance was only observed in patients receiving FS-LASIK.ConclusionPostoperatively, myopic patients undergoing corneal refractive surgery with haloes or difficulty in judging distance have significantly worse low and high-speed DVA than those without the symptoms. The present study provided the basis for postoperative guidance in daily tasks involving dynamic vision when patients have visual disturbances.</p

Image_1_Comparison of dynamic visual acuity after implantation of toric bifocal or trifocal intraocular lens in age-related cataract patients: a randomized controlled trial.TIF
PurposeTo investigate the dynamic visual acuity (DVA) after implantation of toric bifocal or trifocal intraocular lens in age-related cataract patients.MethodsThis was a prospective randomized controlled trial. Of one hundred and twenty-four patients enrolled and randomized to receive unilateral phacoemulsification and toric trifocal (939 M/MP, Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany) or toric bifocal (909 M, Carl Zeiss Meditec AG, Jena, Germany) intraocular lenses (IOL) implantation, ninety-nine patients completed the follow-up and were included in final analysis. Postoperatively, uncorrected and corrected distance (UDVA and CDVA), intermediate (UIVA and DCIVA) and near (UNVA and DCNVA) static visual acuity, manifest refraction and uncorrected and corrected distance DVA (UDDVA and CDDVA) at 20, 40 and 80 degrees per second (dps) were evaluated at one week, one month and three months.ResultsThree months postoperatively, the UDVA were 0.13 ± 0.11 and 0.14 ± 0.13 in the toric trifocal and bifocal IOL group, respectively. Significant better UIVA (trifocal, 0.17 ± 0.13 vs. bifocal, 0.23 ± 0.13, p = 0.037) and DCIVA (trifocal, 0.16 ± 0.11 vs. bifocal, 0.20 ± 0.12, p = 0.048) were observed in patients implanting toric trifocal than bifocal IOL at three months postoperatively. Patients implanted with toric bifocal IOL obtained better CDDVA at 80 dps (0.5607 ± 0.2032) than the trifocal group (0.6573 ± 0.2450, p = 0.039) at three months. Postoperative UDDVA and CDDVA at 20, 40 and 80 dps were significantly associated with age (p ConclusionToric trifocal IOL provides better static intermediate visual acuity, and toric bifocal IOL implantation provides better distance dynamic visual acuity at high speed.</p

Data_Sheet_1_The impact of different corneal refractive surgeries on binocular dynamic visual acuity.DOCX
PurposeTo investigate the influence of different corneal refractive surgeries on dynamic visual acuity (DVA), and explore its potential influence factors.MethodsThis was a prospective non-randomized study. Adult myopic patients undergoing bilateral laser-assisted sub-epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK), femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK), or small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) with Plano refraction target were enrolled. Uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity (UDVA/CDVA), manifest refraction and binocular optotype-moving DVA of 40 and 80 degrees per second (dps) were evaluated pre-operatively and post-operatively up to 3 months.ResultsThe study included 264 eyes of 132 subjects, with an average age of 27.0 ± 6.7 years, and females accounted for 59% of the participants. Significant improvement was observed at the 3-month visit for 40 dps (SMILE, P = 0.001; LASEK, P = 0.006; FS-LASIK, P = 0.010) and 80 dps (SMILE, P = 0.011; LASEK, P = 0.025; FS-LASIK, P = 0.012) DVA. Adjusting for pre-operative DVA, there was no significant difference in DVA among groups at 3 months post-operatively (P > 0.05 for multiple comparisons). Overall, multiple linear models demonstrated that post-operative DVA at 3 months was correlated with pre-operative DVA (40 dps, β = 0.349, P = 0.001; 80 dps, β = 0.447, P ConclusionDynamic visual acuity at 3 months post-operatively of the three corneal refractive surgeries was better than that before the surgery in adult myopic patients, and there was no significant difference among different surgical techniques. Post-operative DVA at 3 months was found correlated with pre-operative DVA, pre-operative SE, and post-operative UDVA. With further improvement, DVA could be a promising functional visual indicator for myopic patients undergoing refractive surgeries.</p
