Smartphone-triggered targeted inactivation of MRSA under SERS monitoring

Silver nanoparticles-based multifunctional agents show tremendous potential for simultaneous imaging and against the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-induced superficial infection. However, it is still a challenge to achieve a balance between high precision, high antibacterial efficiency, and biocompatibility. Herein, we present a 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (4-MPBA)-modified Ag2CO3/Ag2O nano-heterojunctions (AgH@M) that can recognize single MRSA cell by surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and effectively eradicate MRSA under smartphone irradiation. Moreover, the 4-MPBA molecule acts as triple identities for MRSA targeted binding, SERS tag, and inhibition of excessive release of toxic silver ions for the Raman Imaging guided bacterial treatment. AgH@M simultaneously targeted binding on the surface of bacteria and made full use of the released limited Ag+ into the MRSA, thereby reducing the toxicity to mammalian cells. In addition, the potential antibacterial mechanism involves ROS production from photocatalytic behavior, interference with functional genes of quorum sensing, virulence, biofilm, and ATP-binding cassette transporter. Also, the AgH@M can monitor the residual bacteria in MRSA-infected wounds and keratitis animal models in real-time for at least 7 days by SERS and accomplishes a satisfactory therapeutic effect. This work may provide promising visualized heterojunctions for the targeted eradication of MRSA with a portable light source.

Some closed-form evaluations of infinite products involving nested radicals

By applying double and triple angle identities for hyperbolic and trigonometric cosine functions, we obtain closed-form evaluations for two families of infinite products involving nested radicals.

Russian Jews as American Writers: A New Paradigm for Jewish Multiculturalism?

Since the mid-1970s more than 1.5 million Russian-speaking Jews have left the Soviet Union and its successor states. Some of them have become writers in the languages of their host countries, and in doing so they have helped to create new global genre of what one could call translingual Russian diaspora fiction. (1) In the United States, Gary Shteyngart's novel The Russian Debutante's Handbook (2002) has initiated an ongoing boom of Russian American and Russian Canadian immigrant literature, which includes such authors as Lara Vapnyar, David Bezmozgis, Ellen Litman, Anya Ulinich, Sana Krasikov, Irina Reyn, and Maxim D. Shrayer, among others. All of these authors are at least nominally Jewish, fact that has not escaped the attention of American critics and scholars. Donald Weber observes that these authors represent fascinating new chapter in long tradition of immigrant writing. As such, Weber believes that they provide living refutation of the so-called Howe doctrine--the prediction of the decline and ultimate demise of American literature. (2) Andrew Furman echoes these sentiments: Make no mistake. Shteyngart and his peers, who have contributed mightily in bringing the to the center of our literary culture, are good for the Jews. As Furman puts it, blessed with the great good fortune of immigrant oppression, persecution, poverty and nightmares, [these writers] an artistic kinship to Bellow, Roth and Malamud--that holy trinity--that the rest of us born-here Jews can't quite claim (Russification). Ironically, under the existing multicultural rubric, personal hardship appears to be advantageous for an author, since it facilitates inclusion into artistic canons reserved for oppressed and victimized minorities. From Furman's perspective, the Russian newcomers proved to be godsend: as refugees from grim and distant place, less assimilated, less white, so to speak, they seemed better positioned than their gentrified American cousins to share of the multicultural bonanza. Earlier, Furman criticized the exclusion of writers from the multicultural academic canon (Contemporary). Now, thanks to the arrival of the post-Soviet emigres on the literary scene, here was finally an opportunity to rectify this injustice. Not everybody agrees with this assessment, to be sure. In 2006, Adam Rovner struck more skeptical note, suggesting that the enthusiasm of critics for the Russian immigrants expresses desire for a vicarious distinctiveness that only underscores the successful acculturation of earlier generations of Jews into the American mainstream, given that these writings occasionally descend into a self- referential, jokey pastiche of difference (317). Morris Dickstein also connects the identity of Russian immigrant writers with somewhat skeptical view of the concept of multiculturalism, noting that once these writers arrived in North America, they all turned more Jewish, as if licensed by the strong presence in American literary culture, but also by multicultural environment that equates ethnic identity with personal authenticity (129). Enlisting these writers for the cause of multiculturalism becomes complicated because of their triple identities as Jews, Russians, and Americans. This mixed status makes them multicultural, but how exactly does their Jewishness coexist with the other two components of their identity? How can we be so sure that the Jewish voice they have allegedly brought to the center of American literary culture is not rather Russian voice? On the level of public recognition, there seems to be little doubt about the bona fide credentials of the post-Soviet newcomers. Practically all their debut books have been honored with awards from organizations. Shteyngart's The Russian Debutante's Handbook, Vapnyar's There Are Jews in My House (2003), Ulinich's Petropolis (2007), and Reyn's What Happened to Anna K. …

Triple integral identities and zeta functions

Some new identities are given for the representation of binomial sums. A master theorem is developed from which integral and closed form results, in terms of Zeta functions and harmonic numbers, are developed for sums of the type ?n?1 tn/n4(an+j/j)(bn+k/k)(cn+l/l).

Triple genetic identities for the complete hydatidiform mole, placenta and co-existing fetus after transfer of a single in vitro fertilized oocyte: Case report and possible mechanisms

We found different genotypes for the complete hydatidiform mole (CHM), placenta and co-existing fetus derived from a single in vitro fertilized human oocyte by the analysis of short tandem repeat (STR) DNA markers. The molar tissue was found to be heterozygously androgenetic. The fetus and placenta contained identical maternal, but different paternal genomes. Two models were proposed to account for the identification of triple genetic identities in a single fertilized oocyte. In the first model, the oocyte was fertilized by a diploid sperm, resulting in diandric triploidy. Premature cytokinesis resulted in early splitting of a cytoplasmic fragment with one copy of the replicated sperm chromosome, which developed into a heterozygous CHM. The bipolar spindle in syngamy pulled the other copy of sperm chromosomes and replicated oocyte chromosomes to form two blastomeres, which develop into the fetus and placenta, respectively. In the second model, the oocyte was fertilized by two haploid sperms, followed by tripolar spindle formation. Whatever is the mechanism, this case provides direct evidence that CHM can be derived from an oocyte containing an intact maternal genome.

The multisection method for triple products and identities of Rogers–Ramanujan type

By applying the bisection and trisection method to Jacobi's triple product identity, we establish several identities factorizing sum and difference of infinite products, which lead, in turn, to new and elementary proofs for twenty identities of Rogers–Ramanujan type.
