  • Patent number: 8676334
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to peripheral nerve interface system and method for prosthetic hand control, which may measure, analyze and control efferent motor nerve signals and afferent sensory nerve signals by regenerating a peripheral nerve and control an artificial prosthetic hand by means of the measurement, analysis and control of the signals. For this, the peripheral nerve interface system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a nerve conduit connected to a terminal of a damaged peripheral nerve at a cut body portion; a prosthesis for substituting for the cut body portion; and a peripheral nerve interface unit electrically connected to the nerve conduit and the prosthesis to restore a function of the damaged peripheral nerve and control operations of the prosthesis by transmitting and receiving signals of the damaged peripheral nerve.

  • Publication number: 20130273519
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for treating blood, a set of a diagnostic kit comprising the same to detect an autoimmune disease, and a method of monitoring an autoimmune disease using the same. An autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis can be early diagnosed, and disease progression and a treatment response can be precisely predicted, using a technique of amplifying enzyme by stimulating blood obtained from patient.
