Abstract: IgG epitope and applications thereof as a target are provided. The IgG epitope is the CH1 domain of non-B cell-derived IgG, and there is N-glycosylated sialic acid modification at the Asn162 site of the domain. The realization of its antigen functions must depend on the sialylation of the site. The present invention further discloses the applications of the IgG epitope as a drug target in preparing drugs for diagnosis and/or treatment of epithelial tumors. In addition, our studies showed that this antigen depends on the sialylation of Asn162 site as a drug target, and the sialylation of this site must depend on sialyltransferase ST3GAL4, indicating that the enzyme can be used as a drug target for preparing tumor therapeutic drugs. Further, integrin ?4 is co-expressed and co-localized with IgG containing the epitope. IgG can be used as a marker for preparing drugs for the auxiliary detection of epithelial tumors.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein are operable in a computing system. The computing system receives first and second commands (e.g., I/O commands). The computing system determines that the first command has a higher priority than the second I/O command, and queues the second command for servicing at a later time. The computing system services the first command, and services the second command after a timeout period based on performance degradation limit that decreases command processing performance of the computing system, overrides the timeout period, and increases a probability of executing the second command.

Abstract: The gradient coil assembly is designed to address a neck-shoulder clearance problem by configuring the coil holder housing with a cylindrical portion modified with a slanted surface and positioning current return elements of the coil pattern at the slanted surface, while positioning the active electrical elements on the cylindrical surface, thus eliminating influence of an undesired magnetic field generated by the current return elements, shortening the coil, and moving the homogeneous field gradient region toward the end of the cylindrical portion of the bore in the coil holder housing. The subject assembly operation is further improved by the direct external cooling approach, where a coolant flows in direct contact with electrical wires of the gradient coil inside the cooling channels in the surface of the coil holder housing.
