  • METHOD TO PREPARE HIRSUTELLA SINENSIS POLYSACCHARIDES POSSESSING PROTECTIVE ACTIVITIES ON FATTY LIVER DISEASE
    Publication number: 20160361370
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method to prepare polysaccharides from Hirsutella sinensis. The prepared polysaccharides can reduce liver size, weight and the number and size of liver lipid vacuoles, as well as serum triglycerides and serum aspartate aminotransferase levels in humans and animals. The prepared polysaccharides can therefore be used to prevent and treat fatty liver disease.

  • PROBES FOR DETECTING MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS AND MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS COMPLEX AND METHOD USING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20110008772
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a probe for detecting Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) from clinical specimens. The method mainly comprised two steps: (1) amplifying a target DNA of the clinical specimens through nested PCR; and (2) hybridizing to the target DNA with a gold nanoparticle probe. The presence of MTB or MTBC was detected after the absorbance at 525 nm was determined with a spectrophotometer during hybridization at a defined time. Direct observation on color changes can also be detected after a longer incubating time. The merits of this assay include being easy to operate, sophisticated detection equipment is not necessary, low cost, time saving, and, high sensitivity and specificity.

  • Recombinant DNA vector, recombinant bio-luminescent bacterium and method for detecting bio-inhibitory substances using same
    Publication number: 20050136445
    Abstract: The present invention relates to recombinant DNA vector, recombinant bio-luminescent bacterium and method for detecting bio-inhibitory substances by using foregoing bacterium. Since bio-inhibitory substances can inhibit or stimulate the luminescence of recombinant bio-luminescent bacterium, the invention can be applied in detection of the presence and amount of toxic substances in waste water.
