  • Publication number: 20240150423
    Abstract: Applications of different configurations of novel glucagon peptide 1 with fatty acid modification or nonmodification in the treatment of T2D or the pancreas protection are provided. The dimer of the present disclosure is formed by two identical cysteine-containing GLP-1 monomers through a disulfide bond. The H-like GLP-1 homodimer (disulfide bond is inside chains) showed remarkable increase in hypoglycemic duration without reducing specific activity. The GLP-1 dimer provided has an in-vivo effective duration of up to 19 days, which significantly prolonged compared with that of the positive control drug Liraglutide with 3 days of effective duration, or thereby greatly promoting the technical advancement in long-acting GLP-1 drugs and facilitating their clinical applications and business. Meanwhile the U-like homodimer (disulfide bond is at the C-terminus) does not affect blood glucose, but can obviously protect pancreatic exocrine cells such as acini and ducts, and improve pancreas function.

  • Patent number: 11914573
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for relational database locks based on columns. Database transactions may be targeted to specific columns of one or more records, instead of the entire row for those records, using primary keys. Column locks on specific keys are stored separately than column locks on ranges of keys, which are both checked when requesting a new column lock for either a single key or a range of keys. When a threshold number of columns for a given record, or range of records/keys, have been locked, the column locks for that record, or range of records, can be combined into a single row level lock to reduce resource costs for maintaining multiple concurrent locks.

  • Publication number: 20240045878
    Abstract: Provided are techniques for building and using a sparse Time Series Database (TSDB). Time series records are received from a native TSDB, where each of the time series records includes a timestamp and one or more tags. Timeslots are determined for shards for the sparse TSDB based on the timestamp included in each of the time series records. The sparse TSDB is built by creating the shards for the determined timeslots and storing the time series records in the shards, while filling in empty ranges in the shards. A query that specifies at least one of the one or more tags is received. It is determined whether to execute the query against the sparse TSDB, and, in response to a determination to execute the query against the sparse TSDB, the query is executed against the sparse TSDB to generate results that are returned.
