Abstract: A brain computer interface for interfacing with a brain of a subject is provided. The brain computer interface includes one or more shanks. Each shank includes an array of pixels and output traces. Each pixel includes an electrode and a front-end circuit positioned at a site of the electrode. The front-end circuit is configured to reduce noise in signals recorded by the electrode, and further configured to multiplex the signals. A density of power consumption of the each pixel is equal to or less than 1 ?W per area of 50 ?m by 50 ?m. The output traces are electrically coupled with the array of pixels. A number of output traces is less than a number of pixels in the array due to multiplexing. The one or more shanks are configured to be inserted on and/or into a brain of a subject.

Abstract: A fiber optic cable assembly and fiber optic connector assembly are provided. The connector assembly includes a first and second middle body each forming open ends through which an optical fiber is extendable along a longitudinal direction. The second middle body forms an inner body configured to extend into the first middle body. A connector body is configured to retain a fiber optic connector. The connector body is coupled respectively to the first and second middle bodies. An outer body extends along the longitudinal direction and is configured to couple to the connector body and respective first and second middle bodies. The outer body is configured to surround a mating interface at which the connector body abuts to respective first and second middle bodies.

Abstract: Provided is a composition of antiviral agent for use in prophylaxis or treatment against pathogenic infection. The liposomal antiviral agent of the composition has a liposome and an antiviral agent entrapped in the liposome. The antiviral agent has been stably encapsulated in the liposome, and the resulting liposomal antiviral agent is proven to be stably aerosolized or nebulized for administration via the inhalation route to treat a subject in need thereof with reduced side effect.

Abstract: Provided is a liposomal sustained-release composition for use in treatment of pulmonary disease. The liposomal sustained release composition comprises a liposome that includes a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified lipid and encapsulates a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Tyrosine kinase inhibitor is stably entrapped in the liposome, and the resulting liposomal drug formulation can be aerosolized or nebulized for administration via inhalation. This aerosolized liposomal drug formulation yields consistent pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles while achieving desired efficacy and safety.

Abstract: Provided is a liposomal sustained release composition of bronchodilator for use in treatment of pulmonary disease. The liposomal bronchodilator has a liposome containing a bronchodilator entrapped in the liposome. The bronchodilator has been stably encapsulated in the liposome, and the resulting liposomal bronchodilator is proven to be stably aerosolized or nebulized for administration via the inhalation route to treat a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one liposome and a therapeutic agent for treating an auto-immune disease with a high therapeutic agent to lipid ratio and a high encapsulation efficiency. The pharmaceutical composition improves the pharmacokinetic profile and sustains the release of the therapeutic agent. Also provided is the method for treating an auto-immune disease using the pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one liposome and an antipsychotic drug with a high drug to lipid ratio and encapsulation efficiency. The pharmaceutical composition improves the pharmacokinetic profile and sustains the release of the antipsychotic drug. Also provided is the method for treating schizophrenia or bipolar disorder using the pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein.
