  • Publication number: 20220151997
    Abstract: The invention provides use of epalrestat in preparation of pancreatic cancer drugs. The pancreatic cancer drugs are used for inhibiting secretion of exosomes from pancreatic cancer cells. The invention also provides a method for verifying the inhibition effect of epalrestat on secretion of exosomes from pancreatic cancer cells. The method includes steps of: extracting cell supernatant exosomes by using a low-temperature ultracentrifugation method; lysing the collected exosomes, then using a BCA kit to quantify the resulting exosomal protein, and using the measured amount of the protein to reflect the amount of the exosomes; using a transmission electron microscope to verify a double-layer lipid membrane wrapped cup-shaped structure of the exosomes; and detecting exosome protein concentration by protein polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with Coomassie brilliant blue. The invention provides a novel use of epalrestat, namely the inhibition of exosome secretion.

  • Patent number: 8854161
    Abstract: The present invention provides a wideband frequency tunable ring resonator, wherein, comprises a closed ?g/2 transmission line and two variable capacitors with tunable capacitance, the ?g/2 transmission line is axisymmetric around a central line, first ends of the two variable capacitors are respectively connected to two intersection points of the ?g/2 transmission line and the central line, the second ends of the two variable capacitors are respectively grounded. By implementing the technical solution of present invention, following technical effects are obtained. The fundamental resonant frequency (ffund) can be shifted up and down by controlling the respective values of the two loading capacitors, resulting in a bi-directional tuning of ffund. As a result, the tuning range of this invention can be approximately doubled as compared with the conventional tunable ring resonator.

  • Patent number: 8000806
    Abstract: Methods and equipment used to regenerate sensory, motorial, or visceral signals of injured, broken or diseased nerves of mammalia, such as humans, are provided. In some embodiments, a lineup of downward and upward channels to bridge injured neural channels is disclosed. The downward or upward channels can be connected to electrodes which are in contact with upper or lower nerve stumps. The channels can be used to detect, amplify, and recognize the motorial or sensory signals, to generate related Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) signals, and to supply the FES signals to the electrodes on the lower or upper nerve stumps. Neural signals can thus be regenerated and the injured motorial or sensory channels can be bridged.
