Abstract: A transimpedance amplifier for a burst mode optical communication converts a burst current signal into differential output voltage signals. Using a multi-level digital AGC mechanism, the transimpedance amplifier is rapidly adapted to a burst signal whose amplitude varies in a wide range. By using an adaptive level detection method, a multi-level digital AGC can be implemented without using ADC. In addition, because the transimpedance amplifier uses a selective reset generation scheme that performs a reset operation for itself after a high power burst, a burst mode operation can be performed without external reset signals. Accordingly, the transimpedance amplifier can be integrated with an optical detector within a TO-can. Furthermore, the transimpedance amplifier can have the burst mode capability and the best sensitivity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention and treatment of cancer comprising arazyme as an active ingredient. More precisely, when arazyme produced by Aranicola proteolycius was administered to the nude mice transplanted with human lung carcinoma cell line, weight gaining, inhibition of tumor cell growth and infiltration, and down-regulations of MMP-9, NF-?B and PCNA, were observed. In addition, when arazyme was treated to human breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231), down regulations of p21, PCNA (Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen), VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor), BCl2 (B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2), p-p38, PKC (Protein Kinase C) and MMP-1 (Matrix MetalloProteinase-1) which are involved in tumor cell growth, differentiation, proliferation and metastasis, were observed along with the up-regulation of catalase which inhibits tumor development. Therefore, the arazyme can be effectively used as a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention and treatment of cancer.
