Abstract: An acute kidney injury predicting system and a method thereof are proposed. A processor reads the data to be tested, the detection data, the machine learning algorithm and the risk probability comparison table from a main memory. The processor trains the detection data according to the machine learning algorithm to generate an acute kidney injury prediction model, and inputs the data to be tested into the acute kidney injury prediction model to generate an acute kidney injury characteristic risk probability and a data sequence table. The data sequence table lists the data to be tested in sequence according to a proportion of each of the data to be tested in the acute kidney injury characteristics. The processor selects one of the medical treatment data from the risk probability comparison table according to the acute kidney injury characteristic risk probability.

Abstract: An in vitro method for screening a testing compound to evaluate its potential as a liver drug is provided. The method includes applying the testing compound to cells of an isolated human liver tumor cell line, named as ITRI-H16, measuring a cell viability of the cells and determining the effect of the testing compound on the cells by calculating a half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the testing compound.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a pharmaceutical composition for inhibiting angiogenesis, including an effective amount of an extract of Juniperus chinensis or an effective amount of a lignan as an effective ingredient. The pharmaceutical composition may further include a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or salt. The disclosure also provides a method for inhibiting angiogenesis, including administering an effective amount of an extract of Juniperus chinensis or an effective amount of a lignan as an effective ingredient for inhibiting angiogenesis to a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a pharmaceutical composition for promoting wound healing, including an effective amount of a Sambucus plant or an Isatis plant as an active ingredient for promoting wound healing; and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or medium, wherein the Sambucus plant is Sambucus formosana Nakai, and the Isatis plant is Isatis indigotica Fort.

Abstract: A steam massaging device includes a steam generator, a main tube and a massaging means. The steam generator comprises a boiler, a seal lid and a steam outlet. The steam outlet has one end located above the boiler and the other end connected to one end of the main tube. The main tube has the other end connected to the massaging means for conducting steam to an interior of the massaging means. The massaging means comprises at least one massaging plate assembly or one massaging rod assembly. The massaging plate assemblies are interconnected, and the massaging rod is connected to the massaging plate assembly/assemblies so that steam can flow through them. The massaging device may be used to massaging the back and waist as well as the soles.

Abstract: A door opening warning system device actuatable when a door of a car is going to be opened, including a non-remote control type contact switch for providing a "POWER OFF" signal, a flash signal power feed controller, a contact switch for providing a "POWER OFF" signal, a flash device and warning lights. The non-remote control type contact switch may be installed at the ignition key or other suitable positions of the car. The flash signal power feed controller and the contact switch for providing the "POWER OFF" signal are connected via circuitry to the flash device and warning lights of the car. When the ignition key is turned to an "OFF" position or contact switches of other warning system devices are contacted before the driver opens the door to get off, power is connected to cause the warning lights to flash. When the doors are closed or locked, the contact switch for providing a "POWER OFF" signal will be actuated to cut off power supply.
