Abstract: Disclosed herein is a peptide for inhibiting telomere damage, where the peptide is ST8 (SEQ ID NO:25), or an analogue such as retro-inverso peptide (reversed, inversed in dextral amino acid) or derivative (SEQ ID NO: 1, 19 or 20) thereof. This application further provides applications of the peptide in the treatment of telomere dysfunction-associated diseases and in the anti-aging of bone marrow tissues.

Abstract: A mold assembly includes a first mold, a second mold, a first locking member, a second locking member and a pushing member. The first locking member is fixed in the first mold. The first locking member includes an engaging slot. The second locking member is pivotably mounted in the second mold. The second locking member includes an engaging portion. The engaging portion is engaged in the engaging slot to latch the first mold to the second mold, and the pushing member is adapted to push the second locking member to disengage the engaging portion from the engaging slot.

Abstract: An illumination device includes a tube holder including two connectors for receiving either a light-emitting diode (LED) tube and or a fluorescent tube. One of the connectors includes a rotary member rotatably received in a through hole defined in a retainer, and three conductive elastic pieces positioned in the retainer around the through hole. One elastic piece is electrically connected to an LED tube drive circuit board and a fluorescent tube drive circuit board, and the other two conductive pieces are electrically connected to the LED and the fluorescent tube drive circuit boards, respectively. The rotary member can be rotated to first and second positions, wherein at the first position, the LED tube can be activated, and at the second position the fluorescent tube can be activated.

Abstract: A lamp tube includes a encapsulation and a power rectifier member. The power rectifier member includes a power rectifier to convert alternating current (AC) energy into direct current (DC) energy. A first holder defining a first cavity for receiving the power rectifier, and a second cavity for detachably receiving and electrically connecting with one end of the encapsulation; and a first side cover detachably connected to the first holder to cover the first cavity.
