Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a complex probiotic composition and a method for improving exercise performance of a subject with low intrinsic aerobic exercise capacity. The complex probiotic composition, which includes Lactobacillus rhamnosus GKLC1, Bifidobacterium lactis GKK24 and Clostridium butyricum GKB7, administered to the subject with the low intrinsic aerobic exercise capacity in a continuation period, can effectively reduce serum lactic acid and serum urea nitrogen after aerobic exercise, reduce proportion of offal fat and/or increase liver and muscle glycogen contents, thereby being as an effective ingredient for preparation of various compositions.

Abstract: A method for predicting clinical severity of a neurological disorder includes steps of: a) identifying, according to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image of a brain, brain image regions each of which contains a respective portion of diffusion index values of a diffusion index, which results from image processing performed on the MRI image; b) for one of the brain image regions, calculating a characteristic parameter based on the respective portion of the diffusion index values; and c) calculating a severity score that represents the clinical severity of the neurological disorder of the brain based on the characteristic parameter of the one of the brain image regions via a prediction model associated with the neurological disorder.

Abstract: A two-stage application device is disclosed for installing a screen protector on a display screen of a screen-mounted device. The application device includes a base, a first actuating lever, and a second actuating lever. The base includes an accommodation and a support, wherein the support defines first grooves and second grooves. The first actuating lever has first controlled pivot portions guided and limited by the first grooves, a first pressing portion, a first arm, and a body with a positioning protrusion. The second actuating lever has second controlled pivot portions guided and limited by the second grooves, a second pressing portion, a second arm, and a body. A kit is also disclosed for protecting a display screen of a screen-mounted device, which includes a two-stage application device, and at least one screen protector including a protective film with at least one adhesive layer, and a backing sheet.

Abstract: An air-filtering device has an outer plug, an inner plug, a nose clip, and a filter. The outer plug has a contacting portion and flip lid pivotally connected to the contacting portion. The contacting portion has a first receiving space. The flip lid has a second receiving space. The inner plug is mounted in the outer plug and has a third receiving space communicating with the first receiving space and the second receiving space. The nose clip is connected to the flip lid to connect the outer plug securely with the nose clip. The filter is mounted in the third receiving space of the inner plug.

Abstract: A paint cup for a spray gun includes a container containing paint solvents, a lid body covering an upper opening of the container, and a ventilation member mounted in the container. The lid body includes an annular coupling portion protruding from an inner surface thereof, an inner rod located in the annular coupling portion, and a vent extending into an annular coupling groove of the annular coupling portion. A gap is formed between the ventilation member and the inner rod. When the container is turned upside-down, the paint solvents in the gap will flow into an accommodating groove formed between the inner rod and the annular coupling portion, and ambient air circulates in the container via the vent and the gap.
