  • Patent number: 11260072
    Abstract: Provided are methods and compositions useful in the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of osteosarcoma. Antisense to certain microRNA (miRNA) found to be associated with cancer stem cells (CSCs) or tumor-initiating cells (TICs) of osteosarcoma are useful to suppress tumor growth and metastasis, and prolong survival. Antisense oligonucleotides to miR-133a are synergistic in combination with standard chemotherapy such as cisplatin in the treatment of osteosarcoma.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9314968
    Abstract: A pressing apparatus associated with an absorbent article, including: a pair of rollers that are driven and rotate with outer circumferential surfaces thereof facing each other, when a fibrous continuous sheet overlapped with an article to be overlapped with a thermoplastic adhesive therebetween is passed in a continuous direction of the fibrous continuous sheet through a roller gap between the pair of rollers, the pressing apparatus sandwiching and pressing the article to be overlapped and the fibrous continuous sheet between the outer circumferential surfaces, and a heating mechanism that heats at least a roller of the pair of rollers that is positioned on a side of the fibrous continuous sheet, the heating mechanism heating the roller so as to keep a temperature of the outer circumferential surface of the roller within a range from 70° C. to 120° C.

  • Patent number: 8875359
    Abstract: A rotary drum for a fiber-stacking device includes a drum body, pattern plates each having a single fiber-stacking depression, and holding mechanisms each detachably holding a corresponding pattern plate on the outer circumferential surface of the drum body. Each holding mechanism has a fixed hook and a moveable hook. The fixed hook is immovably attached to one side of the drum body and forms a first groove with the drum body. The movable hook is attached to the other side of the drum body to be moveable between a holding position and a release position, forms a second groove with the drum body at the holding position, and opens the second groove at the release position. When the movable hook is at the holding position, the two side parts of the pattern plate are accommodated inside the first and second grooves.
