ABSTRACT

Hierarchical, chiral hybrid superstructures of chromophores and nanoparticles are expected to give rise to intriguing unveiled chiroptical responses originating from the complex chiral interactions among the components. Herein, DNA origami cavity that could self-assemble into one-dimensional (1D) DNA tubes was employed as a scaffold to accurately organize metal nanoparticles and chromophores. The chiral interactions were studied at the level of individual hybrid particles and their 1D hybrid superstructures. Complex chirality mechanisms involving global structural chirality, plasmon-induced circular dichroism (PICD) and exciton-coupled circular dichroism (ECCD) were disentangled. The multiplexed CD spectrum superposition revealed the chirality evolution at different length scales. These results can offer a model for boosting the theoretical understanding of classical-quantum hybrid systems, and would inspire the future design of optically-active substances across length scales.

ABSTRACT

A significant challenge exists in obtaining chiral nanostructures that are amenable to both solution-phase self-assembly and solid-phase preservation, which enable the observation of unveiled optical responses impacted by the dynamic or static conformation and the incident excitations. Here, to meet this demand, we employed DNA origami technology to create quasi-planar chiral satellite-core nanoparticle superstructures with an intermediate geometry between the monolayer and the double layer. We disentangled the complex chiral mechanisms, which include planar chirality, 3D chirality, and induced chirality transfer, through combined theoretical studies and thorough experimental measurements of both solution- and solid-phase samples. Two distinct states of optical responses were demonstrated by the dynamic and static conformations, involving a split or nonsplit circular dichroism (CD) line shape. More importantly, our study on chiral nanoparticle superstructures on a substrate featuring both a dominant 2D geometry and a defined 3D represents a great leap toward the realization of colloidal chiral metasurfaces.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To examine the results of hearing preservation in cochlear implantation surgery to identify surgical technical factors, electrode array design factors, and steroid usage, which predicts greater low-frequency hearing preservation. DATA SOURCES: A thorough search of Medline and Pubmed of English studies from January 1, 1995, to January 1, 2013, was performed using the key words "electric and acoustic hearing" or "hybrid cochlear implant" or "EAS cochlear implant" or "partial deafness cochlear implant" or "bimodal hearing cochlear implant" or "hearing preservation cochlear implant." STUDY SELECTION: The meta-analysis was conducted according to the PRISMA statement. Only articles in English were included. Studies were included if hearing preservation was the primary end point. A final number of 24 studies met the inclusion criteria. DATA EXTRACTION: Patient populations were analyzed as intention to treat. Data were extracted from raw audiograms where possible. Data were excluded if not all explanatory variables were present or if variable values were ambiguous. DATA SYNTHESIS: The weighted least-squares regression method was used to determine the predictive power of each explanatory variable across all studies. CONCLUSION: In this meta-analysis, the following are associated with better hearing preservation: cochleostomy over the round window approach, posterior tympanotomy over the suprameatal approach, a slow electrode array insertion technique over insertion of less than 30 seconds, a soft tissue cochleostomy seal over a fibrin glue only seal and the use of postoperative systemic steroids. Longer electrode arrays, topical steroid use, and lubricant use for electrode array insertion did not give an advantage.
