Abstract Three blue‐light emitting dipyrenylbenzene derivatives, 1‐(4‐(1‐pyrenyl)phenyl)pyrene (PPP), 1‐(2,5‐dimethoxy‐4‐(1‐pyrenyl)phenyl)pyrene (DOPPP), and 1‐(2,5‐dimethyl‐4‐(1‐pyrenyl)phenyl)pyrene (DMPPP), have been prepared by the Suzuki coupling reaction of aryl dibromides with pyreneboronic acid in high yields. These compounds exhibit glass‐transition temperatures 97–137 °C good film‐forming ability. As revealed from single‐crystal X‐ray analysis, these dipyrenylbenzenes adopt a...
BACKGROUND: Although low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) remains the primary target in clinical practice children and adults, non–high-density (non–HDL-C) has been suggested as a more accurate measure of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk. We examined associations childhood non–HDL-C LDL-C levels with adult ASCVD events determined whether better utility than predicting events. METHODS: This prospective cohort study included 21 126 participants from i3C Consortium...
Importance Elevated non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non–HDL-C; a recommended measure of lipid-related cardiovascular risk) is common in children and increases risk adult disease (CVD). Whether resolution elevated childhood non–HDL-C levels by adulthood associated with reduced clinical CVD events unknown. Objective To examine the associations status between incident events. Design, Setting, Participants Individual participant data from 6 prospective cohorts (mean age at baseline,...
Recent studies have demonstrated that very high high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level was paradoxically linked with higher risk of cardiovascular mortality, all-cause and several age-related diseases. However, whether HDL-C is associated a sarcopenia in older adults remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between developing low grip strength over time adults.
The synthesis and characterization of a new series charge-neutral RuII metal complexes are reported. compound [Ru(ifpz)2(PPh2Me)2] is very attractive candidate for the fabrication saturated red phosphorescent organic light-emitting diode devices (see Figure) with high brightness low turn-on voltage.
Abstract TFTPA (tris[4‐(9‐phenylfluoren‐9‐yl)phenyl]amine), a novel host material that contains triphenylamine core and three 9‐phenyl‐9‐fluorenyl peripheries, was effectively synthesized through Friedel‐Crafts‐type substitution reaction. Owing to the presence of its sterically bulky groups, exhibits high glass transition temperature (186 °C) is morphologically electrochemically stable. In addition, as demonstrated from atomic force microscopy measurements, aggregation triplet iridium dopant...
Abstract A new series of charge‐neutral Ru( II ) pyridyl and isoquinoline pyrazolate complexes, [Ru(bppz) 2 (PPh Me) ] (bbpz: 3‐ tert ‐butyl‐5‐pyridyl pyrazolate) ( 1 ), [Ru(fppz) (fppz: 3‐trifluoromethyl‐5‐pyridyl [Ru(ibpz) (PPhMe (ibpz: ‐butyl‐5‐(1‐isoquinolyl) 3 4 [Ru(ifpz) (ifpz: 3‐trifluoromethyl‐5‐(1‐isoquinolyl) 5 (dpp)] (dpp represents cis ‐1,2‐bis‐(diphenylphosphino)ethene) 6 7 have been synthesized, their structural, electrochemical, photophysical properties characterized....
Abstract An efficient white‐light‐emitting polymer ( W3 ) is realized by covalently attaching a green fluorophore and red phosphor into the backbone side chains, respectively, of polyfluorene at concentration 0.04 mol %. In addition, charge‐transporting pendant units are included to improve carrier injection transport. White‐electrophosphorescent devices with structure ITO/PEDOT:PSS/ /CsF/Al (ITO: indium tin oxide; PEDOT:PSS: poly(styrenesulfonate)‐doped poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene))...
BACKGROUND: Elevated non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels are used to identify children at increased cardiovascular risk, but the use of non–HDL-C in childhood predict atherosclerosis is unclear. We examined whether National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute classification youth status predicts high common carotid artery intima-media thickness adulthood. METHODS: analyzed data from 4 prospective cohorts among 4582 aged 3 19 years who were remeasured as adults (mean...
Abstract An efficient orange‐light‐emitting polymer (PFTO‐BSeD5) has been developed through the incorporation of low‐bandgap benzoselenadiazole (BSeD) moieties into backbone a blue‐light‐emitting polyfluorene copolymer (PFTO poly{[9,9‐bis(4‐(5‐(4‐ tert ‐butylphenyl)‐[1,3,4]‐oxadiazol‐2‐yl)phenyl)‐9′,9′‐di‐ n‐ octyl‐[2,2′]‐bifluoren‐7,7′‐diyl]‐ stat‐ [9,9‐bis(4‐( N , ‐di(4‐ n ‐butylphenyl)amino)phenyl)‐9′,9′‐di‐ octyl‐[2,2′]‐bifluoren‐7,7′‐diyl]}) that contains hole‐transporting...
Elevated non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) is associated with the presence of coronary artery calcification (CAC), a marker heart disease in adulthood. However, relative importance non-HDL-C levels at specific life stages for CAC remains unclear.
ABSTRACT Associations between physical activity and time spent sedentary musculoskeletal outcomes remain unclear in middle-aged adults. This study aimed to describe associations objectively-measured health women. cross-sectional from a population-based sample of 309 women (age 36 57 years) examined total (accelerometer counts/min wear time), sedentary, light activities moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA) (by Actigraph GT1M accelerometer) with lumbar spine (LS) femoral neck (FN) bone mineral density...
