However, the transition to a jammed solid-like state (φj) occurs at phase volumes exceeding this value (i.e. φj > φrcp). The suspension modulus and its sudden growth at φj are well-predicted by the Evans and Lips model that incorporates the Erp of the hydrogel particles. This rheological behaviour showing a dual transition is reminiscent of two families of systems (i) colloidal suspensions and (ii) frictional-adhesive non-colloidal suspensions. However, it does not strictly follow either case. We propose that the width of the transition region is dictated by frictional contact, particle size distribution and particle modulus, and plan to further probe this in future work.Atherosclerotic thrombosis is the leading cause of most life-threatening cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), particularly as a result of rupture or erosion of vulnerable plaques. Rupture or erosion-prone plaques are quite different in cellular composition and immunopathology, requiring different treatment strategies. The current imaging technology cannot distinguish the types of vulnerable plaques, and thus empirical treatment is still applied to all without a tailored and precise treatment. Herein, we propose a novel strategy called "Multifunctional Pathology-mapping Theranostic Nanoplatform (MPmTN)" for the tailored treatment of plaques based on the pathological classification. MPmTNs are made up of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs), containing contrast imaging materials Fe3O4 and perfluoropentane (PFP), and coated with specific plaque-targeted peptides PP1 and cyclic RGD. The PFP encapsulated inside the MPmTN can undergo a phase change from nanodroplets to gas microbubbles under therapeuat the plaque site and reduce the T2-weighted signal. The apoptosis of macrophages and disaggregation of activated platelets on the plaques were also confirmed in vivo. In summary, this study provides a potential strategy for a tailored treatment of vulnerable plaques based on their pathological nature and a multimodal imaging tool for the risk stratification and assessment of therapeutic efficacy.DNA methylation is a critical part of epigenetics and plays a vital role in maintaining normal cell function, genetic imprinting, and human tumorigenesis. Thus, it is important to develop a sensitive method for the determination of DNA methyltransferase (MTase) activity. Here, we present a simple and sensitive method based on single molecule fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and polystyrene polymer dots (PS Pdots) for the quantitative detection of DNA adenine methylation (Dam) MTase activity and its inhibitor screening in homogeneous solution without separation. Its principle is based on the measurement of the characteristic diffusion time (τD) of unmethylated and methylated DNA-fluorescent probes by FCS. A hairpin DNA probe including the 5'-GATC-3' sequence is used by doubly labelling fluorophore Alexa Fluor 488 (Alexa 488) and biotin at the 5'- and 3'-terminus, respectively. Dam MTase catalyzed the methylation of the sequence of 5'-GATC-3', and DpnI cleaved the sequence of 5'-G-Am-TC-3'. GDC-0941 in vivo Streptavidin conjugated PS Pdots were used to react with DNA probes without methylation to further increase the difference in τD values between methylated and unmethylated DNA-Alexa 488 probes. We used the FCS method to measure the τD values of DNA-Alexa 488 probes and further obtained the activity of Dam MTase. It is found that the τD value of the methylated DNA probe is negatively correlated with the logarithm of Dam MTase concentration in the range from 0.025 U mL-1 to 3 U mL-1. The detection limit is as low as 0.025 U mL-1. Furthermore, we evaluated the inhibition effect of drug-related DNA methylation and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value is consistent with a previous study. The results demonstrated that our proposed method will become a promising platform for the determination of Dam MTase activity and inhibitor screening.Nine-coordinate [ErN9] or [ErN3O6] chromophores found in triple helical [Er(L)3]3+ complexes (L corresponds to 2,2',6',2''-terpyridine (tpy), 2,6-(bisbenzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine (bzimpy), 2,6-diethylcarboxypyridine (dpa-ester) or 2,6-diethylcarboxamidopyridine (dpa-diamide) derivatives), [Er(dpa)3]3- (dpa is the 2,6-dipicolinate dianion) and [GaErGa(bpb-bzimpy)3]9+ (bpb-bzimpy is 2,6-bis((pyridin-2-benzimidazol-5-yl)methyl-(benzimidazol-2-yl))pyridine) exhibit NIR (excitation at 801 nm) into visible (emission at 542 nm) linear light upconversion processes in acetonitrile at room temperature. The associated quantum yields 5.5(6) × 10-11 ≤ φuptot(ESA) ≤ 1.7(2) × 10-9 appear to be 1-3 orders of magnitude larger than those predicted by the accepted single-center excited-state absorption mechanism (ESA). Switching to the alternative energy transfer upconversion mechanism (ETU), which operates in multi-centers [CrErCr(bpb-bzimpy)3]9+, leads to an improved quantum yield of φuptot(ETU) = 5.8(6) × 10-8, but also to an even larger discrepancy by 4-6 orders of magnitude when compared with theoretical models. All photophysical studies point to Er(4I13/2) as being the only available 'long-lived' (1.8 ≤ τ ≤ 6.3 μs) and emissive excited state, which works as an intermediate relay for absorbing the second photon, but with an unexpected large cross-section for an intrashell 4f → 4f electronic transition. With this in mind, the ETU mechanism, thought to optimize upconversion via intermetallic Cr → Er communication in [CrErCr(bpb-bzimpy)3]9+, is indeed not crucial and the boosted associated upconversion quantum yield is indebted to the dominant contribution of the single-center erbium ESA process. This curious phenomenon is responsible for the successful implementation of light upconversion in molecular coordination complexes under reasonable light power intensities, which paves the way for applications in medicine and biology. Its origin could be linked with the presence of metal-ligand bonding.The more-than-one-century-old arylpentazoles can only be used in situ in generating the pentazole anion due to their unfavourable kinetic stability. We successfully increased the N2-leaving barrier to reach hitherto the highest value of 40.83 kcal mol-1 at the CBS-QB3 level via a newly proposed co-stabilization method, making the broader applications of arylpentazoles feasible.
