Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) provide a tunable platform for water electrolysis. However, it is difficult to perform explicitly structural characterization for COFs due to the uncontrollable polymerization via the solvothermal method, which hinders the clear-cut exploration of the COFs' structureperformance relationship in further applications. Here, the well-defined conjugated reticular oligomers ( CROs) are designed for the first time using an aqueous micellar strategy. The CROs have definite chemical structure and can be regarded as conjugated oligomers or defect-free COFs segment. Using CROs and conducting polymer, three "muscle"-biomimetic electrocatalysts are engineered for splitting water to H 2 and O 2 . The self-assembled "muscle"like structures guarantee fully exposed active sites, fast electron conduction and mass transfer (H 2 O/H 2 /O 2 ). The "muscle"-biomimetic poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)/CROs-Ru exhibit superior electrochemical performance than the COFs-Ru. In particular, the mass activity and turnover frequency (TOF) value of PEDOT/CRO OH -8-Ru are ≈95 and 38 times that of the counterpart bulk Py-COF OH . The theoretical calculation and the experimental results demonstrate that the CROs endow the electrocatalyst with an electron-rich surface and enhance carrier mobility. The enhanced water electrolysis activity of CROs-Ru can be attributed to the Schottky heterojunction suppressing the electron backflow, which facilitates the adsorption of hydrogen protons and hydroxides.
Lung cancer patients with high programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in tumor cells and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations are rare, but there is no clinical standard for which treatment such patients should receive. Here, we report a 52-year-old male smoker who was diagnosed with stage IIIB lung adenocarcinoma. A rare EGFR G719A mutation was detected in the lymph node samples by next-generation sequencing (NGS), and a high PD-L1 expression was found by immunohistochemistry (IHC). After 10 cycles of induction therapy (toripalimab plus pemetrexed plus nedaplatin plus apatinib), surgery was successfully performed, followed by 2 cycles of consolidation therapy (toripalimab plus pemetrexed) and 4 cycles of maintenance therapy (toripalimab). A progression-free survival (PFS) of 7 months was achieved. In this case, we showed that the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitor toripalimab plus chemotherapy and apatinib was effective and tolerable in a locally advanced EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patient with a positive PD-L1 expression.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
