Anti-inflammatory naphthoquinone-monoterpene adducts and neolignans from Eugenia caryophyllata

A phytochemical investigation on the buds of edible medicinal plant, Eugenia carvophyllata, led to the discovery of seven new compounds, caryophones A-G (1-7), along with two biogenetically-related known ones, 2-methoxy-7-methyl-1,4-naphthalenedione (8) and eugenol (9). Compounds 1-3 represent the first examples of C-5-C-1' connected naphthoquinone-monoterpene adducts with a new carbon skeleton. Compounds 4-7 are a class of novel neolignans with unusual linkage patterns, in which the C-9 position of one phenylpropene unit coupled with the aromatic core of another phenylpropene unit. The chemical structures of the new compounds were determined based on extensive spectroscopic analysis, X-ray diffraction crystallography, and quantum-chemical calculation. Among the isolates, compounds (-)-2, 3, 6, and 9 showed significant in vitro inhibitory activities against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW264.7 cells.

[Two new benzoyl-sesquiterpenes from Mesona chinensis]

Mesona chinensis is a common medicinal and edible plant in the Lingnan region of China, which has extensive pharmacological activity. However, the study of its chemical constituents is not sufficient. In this study, a variety of modern chromatographic separation techniques were used to isolate two compounds from 95% ethanol extract of the grass parts of M. chinensis. Their absolute configurations were determined by ultraviolet spectroscopy(UV), infrared spectroscopy(IR), high resolution mass spectrometry(HR-ESI-MS), 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance(1D NMR and 2D NMR), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction(SC-XRD). Specifically, they were two new benzoyl-sesquiterpenes and named mesonanol A and mesonanol B, respectively. The results of the pharmacological activity evaluation showed that neither of the two new compounds showed obvious antiviral and anti-inflammatory activities.

The efficacy and safety of high-dose isoniazid-containing therapy for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Objectives: Accumulating evidence are available on the efficacy of high-dose isoniazid (INH) for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment. We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare clinical efficacy and safety outcomes of high-dose INH- containing therapy against other regimes. Methods: We searched the following databases PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov. We considered and included any studies comparing treatment success, treatment unsuccess, or adverse events in patients with MDR-TB treated with high-dose INH (>300 mg/day or >5 mg/kg/day). Results: Of a total of 3,749 citations screened, 19 studies were included, accounting for 5,103 subjects, the risk of bias was low in all studies. The pooled treatment success, death, and adverse events of high-dose INH-containing therapy was 76.5% (95% CI: 70.9%-81.8%; I2: 92.03%), 7.1% (95% CI: 5.3%-9.1%; I2: 73.75%), and 61.1% (95% CI: 43.0%-77.8%; I2: 98.23%), respectively. The high-dose INH administration is associated with significantly higher treatment success (RR: 1.13, 95% CI: 1.04-1.22; p < 0.01) and a lower risk of death (RR: 0.45, 95% CI: 0.32-0.63; p < 0.01). However, in terms of other outcomes (such as adverse events, and culture conversion rate), no difference was observed between high-dose INH and other treatment options (all p > 0.05). In addition, no publication bias was observed. Conclusion: In MDR-TB patients, high-dose INH administration is associated with a favorable outcome and acceptable adverse-event profile.

[Analysis of etiology and complications in children with stage 5 chronic kidney disease]

Objective: To investigate the etiology, complications, and prognostic factors of stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD5) in children. Methods: A case series study was conducted to retrospectively analyze the general situation, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, genetic testing, and follow-up data (until October 2022) of 174 children with CKD5 who were diagnosed and hospitalized at the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from April 2012 to April 2021. The characteristics of complications in the children were compared based on age, gender, and etiology. Based on the presence or absence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), patients were divided into LVH group and non LVH group for analyzing the influencing factors of cardiovascular disease. Patients were also divided into death group and survival group, peritoneal dialysis group and hemodialysis group based on the follow-up data for analyzing the prognostic factors. The chi-square test, independent sample t-test, Fisher exact probability test, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis test were used to analyze data among different groups. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the prognostic factors. Results: A total of 174 children with CKD5 were enrolled in the study (96 boys and 78 girls), aged 11.2 (8.2, 13.0) years. Congenital kidney and urinary tract malformations (CAKUT) were the most common causes of the CKD5 (84 cases, 48.3%), followed by glomerular diseases (83 cases, 47.7%), and among which 28 cases (16.1%) were hereditary glomerular diseases. The common complications of CKD5 included anemia (98.2%, 165/168), mineral and bone disorder in chronic kidney disease (CKD-MBD) (97.7%, 170/174), lipid metabolism disorders (87.5%, 63/72), hypertension (81.4%, 127/156) and LVH (57.6%,57/99). The incidences of hypertension in primary glomerular disease were higher than that in CAKUT(93.8%(30/32) vs.73.7%(56/76),χ2=5.59,P<0.05). The incidences of hypertension in secondary glomerular disease were higher than that in CAKUT and that in hereditary kidney disease (100.0%(20/20) vs. 73.7%(56/76), 68.2%(15/22), both P<0.05). The incidence of hypocalcemia in CAKUT, primary glomerular disease, and hereditary kidney disease was higher than that in secondary glomerular disease (82.1%(69/84), 88.2%(30/34), 89.3%(25/28) vs. 47.6%(10/21), χ2=10.21, 10.75, 10.80, all P=0.001); the incidence of secondary hyperparathyroidism in women was higher than that in men (80.0%(64/80) vs. 95.0%(57/60), χ2=6.58, P=0.010). The incidence of LVH in children aged 6-<12 was higher than that in children aged 12-18 (73.5%(25/34) vs. 43.1%(22/51), χ2=7.62, P=0.006). Among 113 follow-up children, the mortality rate was 39.8% (45/113). Compared to the survival group, the children in the death group had lower hemoglobin, higher blood pressure, lower albumin, lower alkaline phosphatase and higher left ventricular mass index ((67±19) vs. (75±20) g/L, 142 (126, 154) vs. 128(113, 145) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (91±21) vs. (82±22) mmHg, 32 (26, 41) vs. 40 (31, 43) g/L, 151 (82, 214) vs. 215 (129, 37) U/L, 48 (38, 66) vs. 38(32, 50) g/m2.7,t=2.03, Z=2.89, t=2.70, Z=2.49, 2.79, 2.29,all P<0.05), but no independent risk factors were identified (all P>0.05). The peritoneal dialysis group had better alleviation for anemia, low calcium, and high phosphorus than the hemodialysis group ((87±22) vs. (72±16) g/L, (1.9±0.5) vs. (1.7±0.4) mmol/L, (2.2±0.7) vs. (2.8±0.9) mmol/L, t=2.92, 2.29, 2.82, all P<0.05), and the survival rate of the peritoneal dialysis group was significantly higher than that of the hemodialysis group (77.8% (28/36) vs. 48.4% (30/62), χ2=8.14, P=0.004). Conclusions: CAKUT is the most common etiology in children with CKD 5, and anemia is the most common complication. The incidence of complications in children with CKD 5 varies with age, gender and etiology. Anemia, hypertension, hypoalbuminemia, reduced alkaline phosphatase and elevated LVMI may be the prognostic factors in children with CKD5. Peritoneal dialysis may be more beneficial for improving the long-term survival rate.

[Clinical characteristics of a case of severe pneumonia caused by coinfection of COVID-19 and Chlamydia Psittaci]

A 69-year-old female patient was admitted to the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University due to a "cough and fever for eight days". On admission, a coronavirus disease (COVID-19) nucleic acid test was positive, and a chest CT scan showed progressive patchy shadows and consolidation shadows in both lungs. Arterial blood gas analysis showed type Ⅰ respiratory failure. The primary diagnosis was severe community-acquired pneumonia in an older adult without underlying disease. However, oxygen inhalation, steroid, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial empirical treatment with piperacillin/tazobactam was ineffective. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing of bronchoscopy alveolar lavage fluid showed Chlamydia psittaci(C. psittaci). Severe pneumonia was confirmed, caused by coinfection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and C. psittaci. A combination of doxycycline and moxifloxacin significantly improved the targeted and symptomatic treatment of the underlying cause. After discharge, the patient recovered within four weeks of follow-up. Therefore, clinicians should be alert to the possibility of coinfection of C. psittaci in patients already diagnosed with COVID-19.

Whole Liver Radiotherapy for Multiple Liver Metastases in Thoracic Malignancies

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S)

Liver metastases (LM) are common in advanced thoracic cancer patients with dismal oncological outcomes. Even in the modern era of novel systemic therapy, LM led to a 21% increased mortality risk compared with those without. Options for progressive multiple LM after systemic therapy are limited. Therefore, a different treatment modality is urgently needed to overcome such a predicament. Herein, we renovate the classical whole liver radiotherapy (WLRT) and evaluate its efficacy and safety in treating thoracic cancer patients with progressive multiple LM.

MATERIALS/METHODS

Patients with lung or thymic cancer who had multiple LM treated by WLRT between 2018 and 2022 were enrolled. Radiotherapy (RT) was delivered with a median dose of 24 Gy (range 8-25 Gy) in 8 fractions (range 1-16) at the discretion of treating physicians. Overall survival (OS) and cumulative incidence of intrahepatic progression were calculated from the completion of WLRT till death or progression by Kaplan-Meier and competing risk analyses, respectively.

RESULTS

Twenty-four patients were enrolled in this retrospective study. Eleven patients (46%) had lung adenocarcinoma, of which nine patients had oncogenic mutations. Six patients (25%) had small cell lung cancer (SCLC), four patients (17%) had thymic squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC), two patients (8%) had lung SqCC, and one patient (4%) had mixed histology. Eighteen patients (75%) were under systemic therapy treatment before the diagnosis of LM, and fifteen (63%) received LM biopsy. The median time from the diagnosis of LM to WLRT was 7.5 months (range, 0.5-33.9 months). Eleven patients (46%) had concurrent RT and systemic therapy. With a median follow-up of 3.1 months, the 3-, 6- and 12-month OS were 57%, 38%, and 15%, respectively. After adjusting death as a competing risk, the cumulative incidence of LM progression at 3, 6, and 12 months were 10%, 19%, and 44%, respectively. Within three months after the completion of RT, one patient (4%) had grade 5 radiation-induced liver disease (RILD), one patient (4%) had grade 4 abnormal liver function test (LFT), three patients (13%) had grade 3 abnormal LFT, and twelve patients (50%) had ≤ grade 2 abnormal LFT. The patient who had Gr.5 RILD expired 51 days after the completion of RT with 24 Gy in 8 fractions concurrently with topotecan. He had primary SCLC with viral hepatitis B. His LFT was around the normal upper limit before WLRT.

CONCLUSION

WLRT provided favorable intrahepatic control with acceptable radiation-related toxicities and could be considered a treatment option for patients with progressive LM under systemic therapy. Further investigation with a larger cohort is warranted to identify patients at a high risk of developing severe RILD.

Diagnostic value of the cerebrospinal fluid lipoarabinomannan assay for tuberculous meningitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Objective

This systematic review aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lipoarabinomannan (LAM) assays in detecting tuberculous meningitis (TBM).

Methods

A systematic review search was conducted in PubMed and five other databases up to April 2023. Studies that evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of CSF LAM assays were included with either definitive or composite reference standard used as the preferred reference standard. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the QUADAS-2 tool. We performed a bivariate random-effects meta-analysis and calculated the summary diagnostic statistics.

Results

A total of six studies, including a sample size of 999, were included in the final analysis. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of CSF LAM for diagnosing TBM were determined to be 0.44 (95% CI: 0.31-0.58), 0.89 (95% CI: 0.81-0.93), and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.73-0.80), respectively. Significant heterogeneity was observed in both sensitivity (Q = 73.82, p < 0.01; I2 = 86.45, 95%CI: 79.64-93.27) and specificity (Q = 95.34, p < 0.01; I2 = 89.51, 95% CI: 84.61-94.42). Regression analysis indicated that the study design (retrospective vs. prospective) was associated with the heterogeneity of pooled sensitivity and specificity (all p < 0.05).

Conclusion

Although more prospective studies are required to validate the role of the CSF LAM assay, current evidence supports that the performance of the CSF LAM assay is unsatisfactory for the TBM diagnosis. Additionally, the optimization of the CSF LAM assay (e.g., improvements in CSF collection and preparation methods) should be considered to improve its performance.

[Transport and Model Calculation of Microplastics Under the Influence of Ionic Type, Strength, and Iron Oxide]

Microplastics (MPs) in soil have attracted extensive attention as an emerging pollutant, and the transport of MPs is affected by their own physical and chemical properties, the chemical composition of soil solutions, and soil minerals. However, in the presence of oxides, the underlying mechanism for the transport of MPs in different ionic types and ionic strengths is still not fully understood. In this study, the effects of ionic type, ionic strength, and iron oxide on the transport of polystyrene microplastics (PSMPs) with different functional groups were investigated through stability experiments and transport experiments. The colloid transport model, CD-MUSIC model, and DLVO theory were used to explore the transport mechanism. The results showed that normalized concentrations (c/c0) of PSMPs were 0.99 in the NaH2PO4 background and 0.94 in the CaCl2 background, respectively, which indicated that the strongest stability of PSMPs was observed in the former and the weakest in the latter. Different ionic types had different effects on the transport of PSMPs. For the cations Na+ and Ca2+, Ca2+ strongly inhibited PSMPs transport in pure quartz sand because of the bridging effect and strong charge neutralization effect; the recovery rate of the PSMPs in the effluent was (43.83±1.71)%, and a first-order retention coefficient on the second kinetic Site-2 (k2a) was 1.54 min-1. The presence of iron oxide enhanced the inhibition, the recovery rate of the PSMPs in the effluent decreased to (6.04±0.40)%, and k2a increased to 5.33 min-1. For the anions Cl- and PO43-, the transport of PSMPs in pure quartz sand was dominated by surface electronegativity of PSMPs, and PSMPs exhibited lower electronegativity under Cl- background and thus showed higher recovery[(92.95±0.63)%] and lower k2a (0.19 min-1). However, in the presence of iron oxides, the Zeta potential of the quartz sand surface was the controlling factor for PSMPs transport. According to results of the CD-MUSIC model, PO43- could be easily adsorbed on the iron oxide surface to form innersphere complexes, which reduced the surface electronegativity of the iron-loaded quartz sand and enhanced the transport of PSMPs, higher recovery[(76.22±1.39)%], and lower k2a (0.66 min-1). Moreover, the species of the formed innersphere complex was controlled by the PO43- concentration, and different species of innersphere complexes had distinct negative surface charges. Higher surface electronegativity of the iron-loaded quartz sand was observed under higher PO43- concentration, which was not conducive to the transport of PSMPs. Further, the transport ability of PSMPs decreased with the increase in ionic strength. Finally, the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory was used to calculate the variation in the primary barrier between PSMPs and the collector under the conducted experimental conditions, which helped better elucidate the transport behavior of PSMPs. The variation in the primary barrier was consistent with the transport ability of PSMPs, and a higher primary barrier indicated a larger repulsion between PSMPs and the collector, which was in favor of PSMPs transport.

The role of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin administration on the risk of dementia in bladder cancer patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Background

Previous cohort studies have found an association between Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) administration and incident dementia. In the systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to summarize the current evidence of the effect of BCG use on the risk of developing dementia.

Methods

We searched six databases until 20 May 2023 for studies investigating the risk of dementia and BCG administration. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were pooled in the meta-analysis. Meta-regression, subgroup, and sensitivity analysis were conducted as well.

Results

Of the 4,043 records initially evaluated, five articles were included for final analysis, with a total of 45,407 bladder cancer (BC) patients. All five studies were evaluated and rated as with high quality, and a low possibility of publication bias was indicated. A significant association between BCG and the incidence of dementia in BC patients was found in all five studies. Although a high heterogeneity (I2 = 84.5%, p < 0.001) was observed, the pooled HR was 0.55 (0.42-0.73), indicating that BCG exposure or treatment reduced the risk of incident dementia by 45%. Moreover, the sensitivity analysis showed good robustness of the overall effect with no serious publication bias.

Conclusion

BCG administration is associated with a significantly lower risk of developing dementia. However, an epidemiological cohort is needed to establish a relationship between BCG use and incident dementia in the normal population. Once the relationship is confirmed, more people may benefit from the association.

[Definition of severe pulmonary tuberculosis: a scoping review]

Objective: To clarify the definition of severe pulmonary tuberculosis and its inclusion criteria by summarizing and analyzing the studies of severe pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Methods: A systematic search of Medline (via PubMed), Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Web of Science, Epistemonikos, Embase, CNKI, WanFang database, and CBM database was conducted to collect studies published between 2017 and 2022 on patients with severe pulmonary TB. Searches were performed using a combination of subject terms and free words. The search terms included: tuberculosis, severe, serious, intensive care, critical care, respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation, hospitalization, respiratory distress syndrome, multiple organ failure, pulmonary heart disease, and pneumothorax. The definitions and inclusion criteria for severe pulmonary TB in the included studies were extracted. Results: A total of 19 981 studies were identified and 100 studies were finally included, involving 8 309 patients with severe pulmonary TB. A total of 8 (8.00%) studies explicitly mentioned the definition of severe pulmonary TB, and 53 (53.00%) studies clearly defined the inclusion criteria for patients with severe pulmonary TB. A total of 5 definitions and 30 inclusion criteria were extracted. A total of 132 dichotomous variables and 113 continuous variables were included in the outcome indicators related to patients with severe pulmonary TB of concern in the studies. Conclusions: The definition and diagnostic criteria for severe TB are unclear, and there is an urgent need to develop a clear definition and diagnostic criteria to guide clinical practice.

[Advances in the application of aberrant DNA methylation in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer]

The early diagnosis of lung cancer has become the focus of clinical attention, with the incidence and mortality of lung cancer increasing. Aberrant DNA methylation occurs in the primary stage of lung cancer, then the methylation degree can be changed dynamically due to the progress and the treatment of lung cancer. To date, a growing number of studies have reported that special gene methylation exploits in the clinical diagnosis, curative effect monitoring, and prognosis evaluation of lung cancer. Meanwhile, clinical trials about DNA methyltransferase inhibitors for lung cancer therapy are also underway. It is worth looking forward that detecting aberrant DNA methylation helps diagnose and treat lung cancer.

Characterization of LTr1 derived from cruciferous vegetables as a novel anti-glioma agent via inhibiting TrkA/PI3K/AKT pathway

Malignant glioma is the most fatal, invasive brain cancer with limited treatment options. Our previous studies show that 2-(indol-3-ylmethyl)-3,3'-diindolylmethane (LTr1), a major metabolite of indole-3-carbinol (I3C) derived from cruciferous vegetables, produces anti-tumour effect against various tumour cell lines. In this study we characterized LTr1 as a novel anti-glioma agent. Based on screening 134 natural compounds and comparing the candidates' efficacy and toxicity, LTr1 was selected as the lead compound. We showed that LTr1 potently inhibited the viability of human glioma cell lines (SHG-44, U87, and U251) with IC50 values of 1.97, 1.84, and 2.03 μM, respectively. Furthermore, administration of LTr1 (100,300 mg· kg-1 ·d-1, i.g. for 18 days) dose-dependently suppressed the tumour growth in a U87 xenograft nude mouse model. We demonstrated that LTr1 directly bound with TrkA to inhibit its kinase activity and the downstream PI3K/AKT pathway thus inducing significant S-phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in SHG-44 and U87 cells by activating the mitochondrial pathway and inducing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Importantly, LTr1 could cross the blood-brain barrier to achieve the therapeutic concentration in the brain. Taken together, LTr1 is a safe and promising therapeutic agent against glioma through inhibiting TrkA/PI3K/AKT pathway.

Evidence for Band Renormalizations in Strong-Coupling Superconducting Alkali-Fulleride Films

There has been a long-standing debate about the mechanism of the unusual superconductivity in alkali-intercalated fullerides. In this Letter, using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we systematically investigate the electronic structures of superconducting K_{3}C_{60} thin films. We observe a dispersive energy band crossing the Fermi level with the occupied bandwidth of about 130 meV. The measured band structure shows prominent quasiparticle kinks and a replica band involving the Jahn-Teller active phonon modes, which reflects strong electron-phonon coupling in the system. The electron-phonon coupling constant is estimated to be about 1.2, which dominates the quasiparticle mass renormalization. Moreover, we observe an isotropic nodeless superconducting gap beyond the mean-field estimation (2Δ/k_{B}T_{c}≈5). Both the large electron-phonon coupling constant and large reduced superconducting gap suggest a strong-coupling superconductivity in K_{3}C_{60}, while the electronic correlation effect is suggested by the observation of a waterfall-like band dispersion and the small bandwidth compared with the effective Coulomb interaction. Our results not only directly visualize the crucial band structure but also provide important insights into the mechanism of the unusual superconductivity of fulleride compounds.

[A case of stage Ⅲ pneumoconiosis with large shadow by burr-like changes misdiagnosed as lung cancer]

Pneumoconiosis is characterized by chronic lung inflammation and fibrosis, and inflammation can promote pulmonary fibrosis, which in turn leads to pneumoconiosis. When a large shadow with a long diameter of not less than 2 cm and a short diameter of not less than 1 cm appears in the lung, it can be classified as stage Ⅲ pneumoconiosis. This paper reports a case of stage Ⅲ pneumoconiosis with a large shadow in the upper right lung accompanied by burr-like changes misdiagnosed as lung cancer by CT examination.When the large shadow lesions in patients with pneumoconiosis and lung cancer are difficult to distinguish on CT, an additional MRI examination, particularly T(2)W imaging sequence is useful sequence for identifying the two.

[Advances in imaging diagnosis of mixed-type liver cancer]

Mixed-type liver cancer is a rare kind of primary malignant liver tumor with risk factors similar to those of hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, although treatment methods and prognosis differ. An early imaging diagnosis is helpful in adopting appropriate treatment strategies for mixed-type liver cancer. Since mixed-type liver cancer contains different proportions of hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma in the same lesion, imaging manifestations may vary. This paper reviews the recent literature reports, imaging characteristics, and the latest imaging diagnostic techniques in relation to the imaging diagnosis of mixed-type liver cancer.

Development of a laser-based angle-resolved-photoemission spectrometer with sub-micrometer spatial resolution and high-efficiency spin detection

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with sub-micrometer spatial resolution (μ-ARPES), has become a powerful tool for studying quantum materials. To achieve sub-micrometer or even nanometer-scale spatial resolution, it is important to focus the incident light beam (usually from synchrotron radiation) using x-ray optics, such as the zone plate or ellipsoidal capillary mirrors. Recently, we developed a laser-based μ-ARPES with spin-resolution (LMS-ARPES). The 177 nm laser beam is achieved by frequency-doubling a 355 nm beam using a KBBF crystal and subsequently focused using an optical lens with a focal length of about 16 mm. By characterizing the focused spot size using different methods and performing spatial-scanning photoemission measurement, we confirm the sub-micron spatial resolution of the system. Compared with the μ-ARPES facilities based on the synchrotron radiation, our LMS-ARPES system is not only more economical and convenient, but also with higher photon flux (>5 × 10¹³ photons/s), thus enabling the high-resolution and high-statistics measurements. Moreover, the system is equipped with a two-dimensional spin detector based on exchange scattering at a surface-passivated iron film grown on a W(100) substrate. We investigate the spin structure of the prototype topological insulator Bi₂Se₃ and reveal a high spin-polarization rate, confirming its spin-momentum locking property. This lab-based LMS-ARPES will be a powerful research tool for studying the local fine electronic structures of different condensed matter systems, including topological quantum materials, mesoscopic materials and structures, and phase-separated materials.
