Abstract
BACKGROUND Current strategies for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of pleural TB have been inadequate, several challenges and issues related with pleural TB have been reported. AIM To summarize the main features of pleural tuberculosis (TB) and determine the risk factors in treatment delay. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of hospital records. METHODS Consecutive confirmed TB patients with pleural effusion were enrolled in the study. Demographic and epidemiological data were collected from electronic medical records. Treatment delay duration was stratified into two categories: <30 days and ≥30 days. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate risk factors for the delay. RESULTS From July 2011 to September 2015, a total of 723 patients were enrolled, 72.1% of patients had pulmonary TB, 8.9% had empyema, 8.9% were multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). Multivariate analysis revealed that MDR-TB (odds ratios (OR) = 2.485, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.347, 4.587), pulmonary TB (OR = 1.452, 95% CI 1.010, 2.087) and empyema (OR = 4.355, 95% CI 2.185, 8.680) were significant risk factors for treatment delay, while fever (OR= 0.519, 95% CI 0.362, 0.744) as well as pleural protein (≥45 g/l) (OR=0.470, 95% CI 0.332, 0.667) were the protective factors. CONCLUSION MDR-TB, pulmonary TB and empyema were significant risk factors for treatment delay, while fever and high pleural protein were protective factors. Tuberculous empyema remains a major problem in China, adequate awareness should be created for the management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Many studies have shown increased risk of stroke with greater adiposity as measured by body mass index (BMI), but questions remain about the shape of the dose-response relation. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies to clarify the strength and shape of the dose-response relation between BMI and risk of stroke. METHODS AND RESULTS PubMed and Embase databases were searched for articles published up to May 11, 2018. Random-effects generalized least-squares regression models were used to estimate study-specific dose-response association, and restricted cubic splines were used to model the association. We included reports of 44 prospective cohort studies describing 102 466 incident cases among 4 432 475 participants. With a 5-unit increment in BMI, the summary relative risk for stroke incidence was 1.10 (95% confidence interval, 1.06 to 1.13; I2 = 88.0%). The dose-response relation was J-shaped (Pnon-linearity <0.001). The risk was not increased at the low BMI range (<24 kg/m2), but was increased within the high BMI range (>25 kg/m2). CONCLUSION Both overweight and obesity increase the risk of stroke with a J-shaped dose-response relation, and the nadir of the curve was observed at BMI 23-24 kg/m2.

Abstract
Oestrogen-related receptor (ERR) is involved in oestrogen receptor (ER) signalling pathways owing to its similarity to ER in terms of domain structure and co-activator and response elements. Although insects lack ER, they harbour an ERR gene that is thought to modulate metabolism and energy conversion via an unknown mechanism. The present study investigated the function of ERR in insects using female silkworm (Bombyx mori, Bm). We found that the expression of B. mori vitellogenin (BmVg) and B. mori ERR (BmERR) in the fat bodies of female silkworms at different stages of development exhibited alternating patterns, and RNA interference of BmERR in females induced BmVg transcription, resulting in an increase in egg weight relative to the control. Furthermore, BmERR was found to be involved in regulating the transcription of BmVg through an oestrogen-related receptor response element (ERRE) in the promoter of the BmVg gene, as demonstrated by electrophoretic mobility shift assay, cell transfection assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation. In summary, our results indicate that BmERR bound to the ERRE motif in the BmVg promoter reducing the expression of BmVg in the fat body of the female silkworm. To our surprise, the ERRE also showed the ability to bind the ecdysone receptor (BmEcR) and ultraspiracle complex. Thus, we surmise that ERR participates in steroid hormone signalling by engaging in crosstalk with the ER pathway in vertebrates and with the EcR pathway in insects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anxiety and depression are clinically significant comorbidities associated with psoriasis. Improvements in psoriasis are known to decrease anxiety and depression. Guselkumab, an anti-interleukin-23 monoclonal antibody, has demonstrated efficacy and safety for the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis. OBJECTIVE Assess improvements in anxiety and depression with guselkumab vs. placebo and adalimumab using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). METHODS In VOYAGE 2, a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo- and adalimumab-controlled study, patients received placebo (through week 16 followed by crossover to guselkumab), guselkumab, or adalimumab through week 24. HADS consists of two subscales measuring anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D), with scores ranging from 0 to 21 and higher scores indicating more severe symptoms. Scores ≥8 indicate instrument-defined anxiety or depression. Severity of psoriasis was assessed using the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI). RESULTS Among 989 patients randomized (with baseline HADS measurements), mean HADS-A and HADS-D scores were 6.8 ± 4.2 and 5.3 ± 4.2, respectively; 38.6% of patients reported HADS-A ≥8 and 27.7% HADS-D ≥8 at baseline. At week 16, a significantly greater proportion of guselkumab patients with baseline HADS-A or HADS-D ≥8 reported HADS-A <8 (51.4% vs. 25.9%; P < 0.001) or HADS-D <8 (59.2% vs. 27.0%; P < 0.001) vs. placebo patients. At week 24, a greater proportion of guselkumab patients with baseline HADS-A or HADS-D ≥8 reported HADS-A <8 (58.4% vs. 42.9%; P = 0.028) or HADS-D <8 (59.8% vs. 46.4%; P = 0.079) vs. adalimumab patients. PASI improvements correlated with improvement in anxiety (r = 0.27; P < 0.0001) and depression (r = 0.25; P < 0.0001) scores in patients with baseline HADS-A or HADS-D ≥8. Greater improvements in HADS were also observed at week 16 in guselkumab-treated patients vs. placebo using a more stringent cut-off of HADS ≥11. CONCLUSION Guselkumab treatment was associated with greater improvements in symptoms of anxiety and depression scores in patients with psoriasis compared with placebo and adalimumab.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to investigate the influence of planting Cry1Ab/Cry1Ac gene expressing rice (Bt rice) on rhizospheric active methanogenic archaeal communities. METHODS AND RESULTS The nontransgenic parental line was used as the control (Ck rice). DNA-based stable isotope probing (DNA-SIP) technology traced the rhizospheric active methanogens at the tillering stage. The results revealed significantly lower CH4 emission flux from Bt soil than that from Ck soil during the whole growth period. The active methanogenic community composition remained stable. The RC-I lineage (77·9-79·8%) and Methanosaetaceae (13·9-15·1%) were the predominant active methanogens in Bt and Ck rice rhizospheres. However, the abundance of functionally active methanogens in the Bt rice rhizosphere was significantly reduced. Lower levels of root exudates (that included carbohydrate and organic acids) from Bt rice were also detected at the tillering stage. CONCLUSION This study found that the genetic modification of rice reduced the potential methanogenic substrates came from plant-derived root exudates, which represented an important factor in reducing CH4 generation and active methanogenic archaeal abundance in Bt rhizosphere soil. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The effect of genetically modified (GM) insect-resistant crops on soil micro-organisms has become an issue of public concern, especially the indirect effect of plant metabolisms caused by the insertion of foreign genes. Methanogenesis, which is regarded as a critical ecological process in paddy soil, is influenced by plant root exudates; these are mainly derived from photosynthesis. The variations in root exudates across the Bt and Ck rice suggested the indirect influence of foreign gene insertion. DNA-SIP successfully traced the active methanogenic archaeal populations assimilating 13 C-labelled photosynthetic carbon and found a strong influence of planting Bt rice on active methanogens. As a consequence, we proposed that analysis of functionally active micro-organisms is more suitable for monitoring and predicting the environmental influence of GM plants.

Abstract
The purpose of this work is to investigate the total resection of bladder tumor under transurethral fluorescence cystoscopy. Nineteen patients with bladder tumor, from which we resected a total of 26 tumors, including 16 single tumors with diameters of 0.5~2 cm, were enrolled in the study. All tumors were located in the posterior wall or neck of the bladder. For the surgery, the size and location of tumors in the bladder were observed by fluorescence cystoscopy. Then, plasma electrocision was used to cut the full-thickness of the bladder to the fat outside of the bladder along the near-end of the tumor, then along the left and right side of bladder (to the far-end), and the full-thickness of the tumor was resected. Finally, the far-end tumor was removed and the full-thickness of the bladder at the bottom was completely resected. All operations were completed successfully within 10-40 min. There was little bleeding during surgery and no secondary bleeding after surgery. Tumor staging found 17 patients at T1 stage (20 tumors) and 2 patients at T2 stage (6 tumors). Patients were followed up for 6~12 months without any recurrence. We show here that total resection of bladder tumor can be accomplished under transurethral fluorescence cystoscopy and preventative resection can be conducted on the suspicious bladder wall with precision to eliminate tumor residue that promotes recurrence.

Abstract
Background How patients experience the symptoms/signs of psoriasis is highly relevant for assessing treatment response. Objectives Compare outcomes with guselkumab, placebo and adalimumab utilizing the novel, validated Psoriasis Symptoms and Signs Diary (PSSD). Methods VOYAGE 1 is an ongoing, phase III, double‐blinded, controlled trial of patients with moderate‐to‐severe psoriasis. Patients were randomized to guselkumab 100 mg every 8 weeks; placebo‐to‐guselkumab 100 mg every 8 weeks; or adalimumab 40 mg every 2 weeks. The PSSD was self‐administered to assess symptoms (i.e. itch, skin tightness, burning, stinging and pain) and signs (i.e. dryness, cracking, scaling, shedding/flaking, redness and bleeding) of psoriasis (0–10 [absent‐to‐worst‐imaginable]) every 24 h. Symptom and sign summary scores were derived (0–100) based on average scores of the individual symptoms and signs. Proportions of patients with clinically meaningful improvements and symptom‐ and sign‐free scores of 0 were evaluated across treatment groups at weeks 16, 24 and 48. Results At baseline, 652 of 837 randomized patients had PSSD scores. The proportion of patients achieving clinically meaningful improvements in PSSD summary scores was significantly higher in the guselkumab group compared with the placebo group at week 16 (P < 0.001) and compared with the adalimumab group at weeks 24 (P = 0.002) and 48 (P < 0.001). The proportions of patients achieving PSSD symptom and sign summary scores of 0 (i.e. symptom‐ and sign‐free) were significantly higher for guselkumab vs. placebo at week 16 and vs. adalimumab at weeks 24 and 48 (all P < 0.001). Conclusions Based on PSSD scores, greater improvements in symptoms and signs of psoriasis were reported by patients treated with guselkumab compared with placebo at week 16 or adalimumab through 48 weeks.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the effects and mechanisms of anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) antibody on insulin resistance (IR) in rats with sepsis-induced stress hyperglycemia. METHODS The sepsis-induced stress hyperglycemic rat model was constructed by cecal ligation and puncture combined with the intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide. The rats were randomly divided into six groups: normal control (NC) group, surgical rats (Cntl) group, high-dose anti-TNF-α antibody therapy (TNF, 6 mg/kg) group, low-dose anti-TNF-α antibody therapy (Tnf, 3 mg/kg) group, insulin therapy (INS) group, and INS + Tnf group. The blood glucose and serum insulin concentrations were detected, followed by analysis of intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT) and hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. Finally, the expression levels of phospho-Akt (p-Akt), Akt, p-mTOR, mTOR, nuclear factor-κB (NFκB), I kappa beta kinase (IKKβ), and suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS-3) were detected by western blotting. RESULTS There was no significant difference in blood glucose concentrations among these groups, while the serum insulin concentration in TNF and Tnf groups was lower than that in the Cntl group at postoperative 6 h (P < 0.05). IPGTT analysis revealed that blood glucose level was lower in the TNF group than that in the Cntl group (P < 0.05). The glucose infusion rate in the Cntl group was lower than that in the Tnf and TNF groups (P < 0.05). The p-Akt/Akt, p-mTOR/mTOR ratio, and expression levels of NFκB, IKKβ and SOCS-3 were lower in the drug intervention than that in the Cntl group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Anti-TNF-α antibody could reduce IR by inhibiting AKt/mTOR signaling pathway and the expression levels of NFκB, IKKβ, and SOCS-3 in rats with sepsis-induced stress hyperglycemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression features of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) DLEU7-AS1 in colorectal cancer (CRC), so as to further study its role in the occurrence and development of CRC and its potential regulatory mechanism. PATIENTS AND METHODS The expression levels of lncRNA DLEU7-AS1 in 82 pairs of CRC tissues and para-carcinoma normal tissues were detected via quantitative Real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and the correlation of DLEU7-AS1 expression with pathological indexes of CRC and patients' prognosis was analyzed. Besides, the expression of DLEU7-AS1 in CRC cells was further detected via qRT-PCR. The DLEU7-AS1 knockdown expression model was established using small interfering RNA in CRC cell lines HT-29 and HCT-116, and the effect of DLEU7-AS1 on biological functions of CRC cells was analyzed via Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and transwell invasion/migration assay. Finally, its potential mechanism was investigated via Western blotting. RESULTS The results of qRT-PCR showed that the expression level of DLEU7-AS1 in CRC was significantly higher than that in normal tissues, and the difference was statistically significant. Compared with those in patients with low DLEU7-AS1 expression, the tumor stage in patients with high DLEU7-AS1 expression was higher, the prevalence rates of lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis were higher, and the overall survival rate was lower. Compared with those in the negative control group, the cell proliferation, invasion, and migration capacities were decreased significantly in DLEU7-AS1 knockdown expression group. Moreover, the results of Western blotting revealed that the expressions of key proteins in Wnt/β-catenin pathway, including β-catenin, c-myc, and cyclinD1, were decreased in si-DLEU7-AS1. CONCLUSIONS The expression of DLEU7-AS1 is significantly increased in CRC, which is markedly associated with CRC staging, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis and poor prognosis. DLEU7-AS1 may promote the proliferation, invasion and migration capacities of CRC through regulating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Abstract
The intention of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer is to shrink the tumors in locally advanced disease and to improve the degree of cure of operation (security). Therefore, it is expected to improve quality of life and survival for patients. Additionally, neoadjuvant chemotherapy is administered based on the observable primary tumor. Thus, the timely assessment of tumor response to chemotherapeutic drugs provides a basis for subsequent treatment. Currently, however, the treatment concept of breast cancer requires whole process management. It requires clinicians to develop the overall treatment strategy according to tumor biological information of patients, as well as timely and reasonable adjustment of the subsequent treatment based on the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. These are new problems arising from neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Symmetrical acral keratoderma (SAK) is a rare skin disorder and its pathogenesis and inheritability are unknown. OBJECTIVES To investigate the inheritance and pathogenesis of SAK. METHODS Four SAK cases occurred in a four-generation Chinese family. Exome sequencing identified SNPs with potential SAK-related mutations, and a potentially responsible gene transcription factor 4 (TCF4) was identified. TCF4 was then sequenced in all 11 family members, and pedigree analysis was performed. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry evaluated TCF4 expression in skin lesions. The gene mutation was investigated in human keratinocytes for keratin-related protein expression. RESULTS A novel heterozygous missense mutation, c.85C>A (p.Pro29Thr) was found in TCF4. The mutation showed autosomal dominant inheritance and perfectly cosegregated with the SAK phenotype in all family members. In skin lesions, TCF4 was present in the cytoplasm and membranes of the basal layer, the stratum spinosum and the stratum granulosum of the epidermis. The mutant TCF4 induced overexpression of differentiation markers including KRT1, KRT14, loricrin and involucrin. CONCLUSIONS A SAK-related gene mutation in TCF4 may function through transcriptional regulation of keratin.

Abstract
A phosphanthrene oxide host, 5,10-diphenyl-phosphanthrene 5,10-dioxide (DPDPO2 A), with intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds achieves spheroidal cis-configuration and close sphere packing. DPDPO2 A realizes effective exciton suppression and excellent and balanced carrier transporting ability, both at the same time, demonstrating favorable photoluminescence quantum yield of 84% from its blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) dye, namely bis[4-(9,9-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroacridine) phenyl]sulfone, doped films and high electron and hole mobility at the level of 10-4 and 10-5 cm2 V-1 s-1 , respectively. DPDPO2 A endows its blue TADF devices with record-low driving voltages, e.g., turn-on voltage of 2.5 V, and the state-of-the-art efficiencies with maxima of 22.5% for external quantum efficiency and 52.9 lm W-1 for power efficiency, which is the best comprehensive performance to date of ultralow-voltage-driven blue TADF diodes.

Abstract
Allochroic organic light-emitting devices (AOLEDs) characterized by field-dependent emissive color variation are promising as visible signal response units for intelligent applications. Most of the AOLEDs were realized by changing their recombination zones or inter- and intramolecular energy transfer, rendering the limited repeatability, stability, and electroluminescence (EL) performance. We report a novel thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) diode that featured a successive and irreversible emission color change from bluish green to deep blue during voltage increase, which uses the significant influence of host polarity on the emission color of TADF dyes, namely, solvatochromic effect. Its host 3,6-di-tert-butyl-1,8-bis(diphenylphosphoryl)-9H-carbazole (tBCzHDPO) was designed with remarkable field-dependent polarity reduction from 7.9 to 3.3 D by virtue of hydrogen bond-induced conformational isomerization. This TADF device achieves the best EL performance among AOLEDs, to date, with, for example, an external quantum efficiency beyond 15%, as well as the unique irreversible allochroic characteristic for visible data storage and information security.

Abstract
Objcetive: To investigate the incidence and risk factors of Lymphocele infection and the optimal timing for drainage after pelvic lymphadenectomy. Methods: This retrospective study was carried out on 397 patients who received a pelvic lymphadenectomy with or without a para-aortic lymphadenectomy between January 2009 and April 2016, due to endometrial cancer in General hospital of Tianjin medical university.A total of 76 patients developed lymphocele and 20 patients developed lymphocele infection. Results: (1)The incidence of lymphocele infection was 5.04% (20/397). Single factor analysis indicated diameter of lymphocele ≥5 cm and postoperative anemia were associated with lymphocele formation (P<0.001, P=0.023). Multiple factors Logistic analysis through the adjustment of the factors showed diameter of lymphocele ≥5 cm was the independent risk factors for lymphocyst infection (P<0.001). (2)The total treatment period of cases treated only with antibiotics tended to be shorter than that of cases treated with combined antibiotics and drainage (P=0.008). However, for severe cases which needed drainage, initiating the drainage by day 3 significantly shortened the total treatment period compared with cases started on or after day 4 (P=0.048). Conclusion: To identify the risk factors of the lymphocele infection is useful to help reduce the incidence of them with effective measurement.When drainage is required in addition to antibiotics, the earlier the drainage is performed, the shorter the treatment period is.

Abstract
A novel magnetically recoverable, visible light active TiO2-WO3 composite (Fe3O4@SiO2@TiO2-WO3) was prepared to enable the photocatalyst recovery after the degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) under simulated solar light. For comparison, the photocatalytic activity of other materials such as non-magnetic TiO2-WO3, Fe3O4@SiO2@TiO2, TiO2, and the commercial TiO2 P25 was also evaluated under the studied experimental conditions. The structure and morphology of the synthesized materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), and electron dispersion spectroscopy (EDS). Moreover, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area and magnetic properties of the samples were determined. The Fe3O4@SiO2@TiO2-WO3 and TiO2-WO3 led to a BPA degradation of 17.50 and 27.92 %, respectively, after 2 h of the simulated solar light irradiation. Even though their activity was lower than that of P25, which degraded completely BPA after 1 h, our catalysts were magnetically separable for their further reuse in the treatment. Furthermore, the influence of the water matrix in the photocatalytic activity of the samples was studied in municipal wastewater. Finally, the identification of reaction intermediates was performed and a possible BPA degradation pathway was proposed to provide a better understanding of the degradation process.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Endocan is a novel marker for inflammation but its significance in preeclampsia remains unknown. OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to delineate the changes of maternal endocan in normal pregnancy and preeclampsia and to explore its possible role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Blood samples were taken from 42 non-pregnant women, from 43 normal pregnant women at third trimester, and from 41 preeclamptic women. Serum endocan levels were determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and compared among the groups. RESULTS There were no significant differences in serum endocan among non-pregnant women, normal pregnant women, and women with preeclampsia (X²= 2.207, p = 0.137) and there was no significant difference in serum endocan between women with mild and severe preeclampsia (Z= 0.368, p = 0. 713). The authors concluded that serum endocan did not change in pregnancy and preeclampsia, indicating endocan may not be involved in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the success rate of telbivudine (LdT) for the prevention of perinatal transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and the incidence of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevation during LdT treatment and after LdT withdrawal in HBV-infected pregnant woman with high viremia in immune-tolerant phase and receiving LdT treatment at the end of pregnancy, and to evaluate the efficacy of LdT in the prevention of perinatal transmission and the safety for pregnant women. METHODS Pregnant women infected with HBV in immune-tolerant phase who had normal ALT levels (≤40 U/L) and high viremia (HBV DNA ≥6 log10 IU/ml) with positive HBeAg were enrolled as subjects. All pregnant women received antiviral treatment with LdT at the end of pregnancy to prevent perinatal transmission of HBV. All infants received standard combined immunoprophylaxis. Failure for prevention of perinatal transmission of HBV was defined as positive HBsAg or HBV DNA in infants 7 months of age (or at one month after the third injection of hepatitis B vaccine). Liver function, HBV DNA, and HBV serological markers were evaluated at baseline, after 1 month of treatment, before childbirth, and 1, 3, and 6 months after drug withdrawal. SPSS 16.0 software was used to analyze the data. Between-group comparison of continuous data was made by t test, and comparison of categorical data was made by chi-square test. RESULTS One hundred and four pregnant women (treatment group) received oral administration of 600 mg LdT once a day, and 25 pregnant women (observation group) did not receive any antiviral therapy. The success rate for the prevention of perinatal transmission was significantly higher in the treatment group than in the observation group (100% vs 89.47%, χ (2) = 9.862, P = 0.028). There was no significant difference in the incidence of ALT elevation during treatment and within 6 months after drug withdrawal between the treatment group and the observation group (4.81% (5/104) vs 4.00% (1/25), χ (2) = 0.030, P = 1.000). In the treatment group, the mean HBV DNA at baseline was significantly higher than that before childbirth (8.20±0.78 vs 3.98±0.90 log10IU/ml, t = 6.979, P < 0.001). One hundred patients with drug withdrawal had HBV DNA increased to 8.11±0.80 log10 IU/ml at one month after childbirth. CONCLUSION LdT treatment at the end of pregnancy can effectively reduce the incidence of perinatal transmission of HBV in pregnant women with high viremia in immune-tolerant phase. The immediate drug withdrawal after childbirth is safe for the mother. The incidence of hepatitis is low after drug withdrawal.

Abstract
Alkaliphilus metalliredigens strain QYMF is an anaerobic, alkaliphilic, and metal-reducing bacterium associated with phylum Firmicutes QYMF was isolated from alkaline borax leachate ponds. The genome sequence will help elucidate the role of metal-reducing microorganisms under alkaline environments, a capability that is not commonly observed in metal respiring-microorganisms.

Abstract
Three asymmetrical electron transporters as dibenzothiophene sulfone (DBSO)-diphenylphosphine oxide (DPPO) hybrids, collectively named mnDBSODPO, were designed and prepared. All of these materials achieve the high triplet energy of ∼3.0 eV to restrain the exciton linkage from emissive layers. The dependence of inductive and steric effects for DPPO groups on the substitution position, the intermolecular interaction suppression, the encapsulations of high-polar DBSO cores, and the favorable electrical performance are successfully integrated on 36DBSODPO, which can simultaneously suppress the exciton quenching by formation of an interfacial dipole and enhancing the charge flux balance. As a result, 36DBSODPO endowed its tetralayer blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) devices with impressive performance, including the maximum external quantum efficiency around 19%, and reduced efficiency roll-offs, which verifies the great potential of asymmetrical electron transporting materials for highly efficient TADF devices.
