RESUMO
To break through the simplification of three-dimensional printing (3DP) materials and realize the application of long-persistent phosphors in more fields, polylactic acid doped with Ca2BO3Cl: Eu2+, Dy3+ was prepared in this study. The structure of the mixtures was analyzed and determined by infrared spectroscopy. The luminescence properties of phosphors and the composites were studied by fluorescence spectra and afterglow decay curve measurements. The yellow light of the mixtures could be attributed to the 5d-4f energy level transition of Eu2+. After the excitation of 254 nm ultraviolet lamp, the luminance and duration of the composites could be clearly observed. The mechanical properties of the composite filaments were tested, including maximal force and elasticity modulus. In particular, the influence of humidity on mechanical properties was analyzed in detail. The prepared composite filaments were printed into hollow dodecahedrons and presented in this study. Therefore, the composites had great properties and might be expected to put into practical applications of 3DP technology.
RESUMO
Considering the serious damage to aquatic ecosystems and marine life caused by oil spills and oily wastewater discharge, efficient, environment-friendly and sustainable oil/water separation technology has become an inevitable trend for current development. Herein, fabrics are recognized as eco-friendly materials for water treatment due to their good degradability and low cost. Particularly, fabrics with rough structures and natural hydrophilicity/oleophilicity enable the construction of superwetting surfaces for the selective separation of oil/water mixtures and even complex emulsions. Therefore, superwetting fabrics for efficiently solving oil spills and purifying oily wastewater have received extensive attention. Especially, Janus and smart fabrics are highly anticipated to enable the on-demand and sustainable treatment of oil spills and oily wastewater due to their changeable wettability. Moreover, the fabrication of superwetting fabrics with multifunctional performances for oily wastewater purification can further promote their practical industrial applications, such as photocatalytic, self-cleaning, and self-healing characteristics. However, some potential challenges still exist, which urgently need to be systematically summarized to guide the future development of this research field. In this review, firstly, the fundamental theories of wettability and the separation mechanisms based on special wettability are discussed. Then, superwetting fabrics for efficient oil/water separation are systematically reviewed, such as superhydrophobic/superoleophilic (SHB/SOL), superhydrophilic/superoleophobic (SHL/SOB), SHL/underwater superoleophobic (SHL/UWSOB), and UWSOB/underoil superoleophobic (UWSOB/UOSHB) fabrics. Most importantly, we highlight Janus, smart, and multifunctional fabrics based on their superwetting property. Correspondingly, the advantages and disadvantages of each superwetting fabric are comprehensively analyzed. Besides, super-antiwetting fabrics with superhydrophobic/superoleophobic (SHB/SOB) property are also introduced. Finally, the challenges and future research directions are explained.

EcossistemaRESUMO
This study primarily focused on the effect of the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) PVT1/miR186/KLF5 axis on the occurrence and progression of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). miR186 was found both in the lncRNA PVT1 targeting miRNAs and KLF5 targeting miRNAs using bioinformatic analysis. The expression of lncRNA PVT1 and KLF5 in the TFK-1, QBC939, and HuCCT1 cell lines and normal biliary epithelial HIBEpiC cells was detected by RT-qPCR. The significance of lncRNA PVT1 and KLF5 on cell proliferation was analyzed using the MTT assay and clone formation assay in lncRNA PVT1 and KLF5 silencing HuCCT1 cell lines and lncRNA PVT1and KLF5 overexpressing TFK-1 and QBC939 cell lines, respectively. The potential role of lncRNA PVT1 and KLF5 in cell migration was detected using the transwell invasion assay in CCA cell lines and tumor formation assay. Additionally, lncRNA PVT1 and KLF5 were proved to be highly expressed in CCA tissues and cell lines. Silencing and overexpressing of lncRNA PVT1 or KLF5 markedly inhibited or increased the cell proliferation and cell invasion in CCA cell lines, respectively. Silencing and overexpressing of lncRNA PVT1 significantly inhibited and increased the expression of KLF5 in CCA cell lines, respectively. Silencing of lncRNA PVT1 increased the expression of miR186, and silencing of miR186 increased the expression of KLF5 in CCA cell lines. Cotransfection of lncRNA PVT1 and miR186 increased the expression of KLF5 compared with controls. Overall, these results demonstrated that the lncRNA PVT1/miR186/KLF5 axis might exert a key role in the occurrence and progression of CCA, and this axis might provide a new target for treating CCA.
