  • Publication number: 20110077527
    Abstract: A device and clinical techniques that can help healthcare workers locate and image the general outlines of blood vessels that are located either under or near to tissue or skin surfaces are described. The device involves a substrate formed from a self-cooling polymeric matrix that incorporates at least a thermo-chromic colorant, and can provide a means to distinguish between different temperature regions when applied to a heat-emitting object or body. The device can be used in certain therapeutic or healthcare-related applications.

  • Patent number: 7101841
    Abstract: The present invention relates to carbohydrate-specific peptides, which have a strong affinity and preparation method thereof. Particularly, the present invention relates to carbohydrate-specific peptides, which have been developed to have an increased strong affinity to carbohydrates by the multiple combinations of peptides having carbohydrates-specific amino acid sequences and preparation method thereof. Carbohydrate-specific peptides of the present invention have a very strong affinity under micromol, so that they can shut off recognition between cells transferred by specific carbohydrates, which means they can be used for the treatment of diseases mediated by recognition between cells and used as a diagnostic kit which diagnoses diseases by confirming the existence of any specific carbohydrate.

  • Patent number: 7022839
    Abstract: The present invention relates to heterodimeric conjugates of neomycin-chloramphenicol, of formula 1, their preparation and their use. Because of their heterodmieric structure, they can recognize both stem and loop of RNA motif and show binding ability to a certain RNA such that they have an enhanced pharmaceutical efficacy and reduced side effect which can be caused by non-specific drugs. For these reasons, they can be effectively used as an antiviral agent, an antibacterial agent or an anticancer drugs.

  • Publication number: 20050222055
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel oxazolidinone derivatives represented as following compound I and a process for the preparation thereof. The compounds of the present invention have wide antibacterial spectrums superior antibacterial activity and low toxicity. Therefore, it can be expected to use as novel antibacterial agent. wherein, R1 is alkylcarboxyl group or —CH2R2 (wherein, R2 is OH, argido group, —OR3 (wherein, R3 is C1-4 alkyl, methansulfonyl, p-toluensulfonyl, carboxyl, C1-4 alkylcarboxyl, C1-4 alkylcarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, or imidazolylcarbonyl), or —NHR4).
