ABSTRACT
The afterglow properties of long afterglow luminescent materials are greatly affected by their defects, which are distributed on the grain surface. Increasing the exposed surface area is an important method to improve the afterglow performance. In this research, long rod-shaped long afterglow materials Sr2 MgSi2 O7 :Eu2+ ,Dy3+ were prepared using the hydrothermal-coprecipitation method. When the reaction time reached 96 h, the length of the afterglow materials could grow to 2 mm, and the sintering temperature was just 1150°C. The emission spectra of all obtained samples upon excitation at 397 nm had a maximum of 465 nm, which belonged to the representative transition of Eu2+ . The initial brightness was 1.35 cd/m2 . The afterglow time could reach 19 h, giving a good afterglow performance. The research on this kind of material has essential significance in the exploration of luminescence mechanisms and their applications.

The present study aimed to investigate the correlation between ultrasonographic features, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and the local invasiveness of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).A total of 350 samples of thyroid nodules were collected. Routine ultrasonography was performed before the operation and routine pathological diagnosis and bFGF detection were performed after the operation.'These 350 samples of thyroid nodules included 90 samples of nodular goiter, 36 samples of focal thyroiditis, and 224 samples of PTC. A total of 326 thyroid nodules were examined for bFGF. The results revealed that the difference in the expression of bFGF between the benign and malignant groups was statistically significant (Pâ<â.05) and the difference in the positive expression of bFGF between the invasive and non-invasive PTC groups was statistically significant (Pâ<â.05).Whether the shape of PTC is regular or not and whether there is micro-calcification in PTC and other ultrasonographic features, the size and location of the lesions and the age of the patient help make a preliminary prediction of local invasiveness before the operation. Postoperative detection of bFGF is helpful for further risk assessments of PTC.
