Abstract: A coated glass substrate. The coated glass substrate comprises a glass sheet having a thickness from 0.1 to 0.7 mm and coated on a first side with a first optical layer having a positive photo-elastic constant and coated on a second side with a second optical layer having a negative photo-elastic constant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a coating composition comprising an aqueous dispersion of a binder and first and second core-shell polymer particles having aqueous neutralized acid cores, wherein the dry bulk density of the first core-shell polymer particles is in the range of 0.25 to 0.5 g/mL; and the dry bulk density of the second core-shell polymer particles is in the range of 0.30 to 0.90 g/mL. The composition of the present invention is useful as an undercoat layer for a thermosensitive recording material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a thermally printable paper article with an elastomeric underlayer, which imparts improved printing performance.

Abstract: The present invention reveals a new use of neferine. Neferine regulates M8 and V1 subtype of transient receptor potential ion channel (TRPM8 and TRPV1), respectively, in mammalians, including humans, and can be used for preparing medicaments for treating disease related to said ion channel (such as hyperalgesia, Parkinson's disease, painful bladder syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and tumor of skin, prostate, mammary gland, lung, colon, etc). The potency of neferine in the present invention is higher than that of hexahydrothymol.
