However, experiments revealed that ubiquitously used Lewis-base additives in the electrolytes coordinate to the CuII species, which restricts further enhancement of device performance and stability. We report the application of copper complexes endowed with diamine-tripyridine pentadentate ligands, [Cu(tpe)]2+/+ (tpe=N-benzyl-N,N',N'-tris(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)ethylenediamine) and [Cu(tme)]2+/+ (tme=N-benzyl-N,N',N'-tris(6-methylpyridin-2-ylmethyl)ethylenediamine), as redox mediators in DSCs. Experimental measurements demonstrate that the coordination environment of Cu(II) complexes with pentadentate ligands remains unchanged in the presence of TBP, which is in stark contrast to the state-of-the-art bipyridyl counterpart. DSCs based on [Cu(tme)]2+/+ complexes exhibit an excellent long-term stability and maintain more than 90 % of the initial efficiency after 400 h under continuous illumination, which outperform the reference devices incorporating the bipyridyl counterpart (less than 80 %) under identical conditions. Chronic renal failure (CRF) referred to chronic progressive renal parenchymal damage caused by various causes, with metabolite retention and imbalance of water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance as the main clinical manifestations. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) was a common complication in maintenance hemodialysis patients with CRF. Nuclear factor IB (NFIB) was a newly found tumor suppressor gene in various cancers. The present study aimed to illustrate the role of NFIB in sHPT clinical diagnosis and treatment response. A retrospective, case-control study, including 189 patients with sHPT and 106 CRF patients without sHPT, compared with 95 controls. Serum NFIB and 1,25(OH) D levels were measured by RT-qPCR and ELISAs, respectively. ROC analysis was conducted to verify the diagnosti
