Abstract: The present invention provides a method of predicting a food-drug interaction in vivo, in the case of an orally administered drug interactive with digestive enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract, by measuring the activity of the drug to the digestive enzymes in vitro, which is based on the fact that the ingestion of foods causes the absorption of drug in vivo to decrease due to the above interaction between a drug and digestive enzymes. The present invention further provides methods of minimizing the change of absorption in vivo caused by the ingestion of foods by reducing the action of digestive enzymes, for example, introduction of prodrugs, modification of the chemical structure of drug, design of drug formulation, etc.

Abstract: A method of controlling the backlight assembly of a display apparatus according to the ambient light level is presented. When there is sufficient ambient light to achieve a desired level of brightness in a display apparatus, the backlight assembly is turned off to conserve power. On the other hand, when the amount of ambient light is insufficient for achieving the desired brightness level, the backlight assembly is turned on to supplement the ambient light so that the display apparatus will provide the desired brightness level regardless of the amount of ambient light. In some embodiments, the intensity of the light emitted by the backlight assembly is adjusted according to the ambient light level. Optionally, the display apparatus is switched between transmissive mode and reflective mode depending on the ambient light level. The voltage applied to the display panel is adjusted depending on the operational mode.
