  • Patent number: 11960468
    Abstract: A database management system receives a command defining a view of the database. The view definition is accepted without determining whether references to schema elements within the view definition are resolvable to existing elements of the database schema. A query of the view is received. In response to the query of the view, the database management system resolves references to schema elements in the view definition by determining whether the references correspond to data available for processing the query.

    Abstract: Provided are a marker gene for identifying and classifying dopaminergic precursor cells (DPC), a screening method therefor and use thereof. The marker gene is a combination of 12 genes having specific up-regulation expression in the DPC cells relative to the neural stem cells (NSCs). The screening of the marker gene is based on a high-throughput RNA sequencing technology. In the samples of the NSC cells and the DPC cells, genes of which the specific expression is significantly up-regulated in the DPC cells are detected, and by bioinformatic analysis, a group of candidate genes capable of regulating the differentiation process of neural stem cells to dopaminergic neurons are identified.

  • Publication number: 20240035154
    Abstract: A method of cleaning a plasma chamber is disclosed. Periodically, a cleaning process is performed. The cleaning process comprises introducing a mixture of fluoride molecules and argon into the plasma chamber and creating a plasma. The fluoride molecules are ionized and interact with the deposited material on the chamber walls. This causes the fluorine ions to bond to the deposited material, which typically results in a gas that can be exhausted from the plasma chamber. When the deposited material has been removed, the amount of free fluorine within the plasma chamber increases. This increase in fluorine may be used to determine when the plasma chamber is cleaned.

  • Publication number: 20230416688
    Abstract: A chemical culture system and use thereof. The chemical culture system comprises a basic culture medium and a small molecule compound, and forms a serum-free culture system having a clear chemical composition. The culture medium does not use substitute serum B27 and GS21 which contain animal-derived components and are widely used currently, but uses a pure chemical molecule activation signal pathway, and uses a non-animal-derived growth factor to replace an animal-derived growth factor, and thus the composition is clear, the potential risks caused by the existence of serum and animal-derived components are avoided, and the clinical prospect of nerve cell transplantation is expanded.
