Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating transplantation rejection or a transplantation rejection disease, comprising a novel compound and a calcineurin inhibitor. A co-administration of the present invention 1) reduces the activity of pathogenic Th1 cells or Th17 cells, 2) increases the activity of Treg cells, 3) has an inhibitory effect against side effects, such as tissue damage, occurring in the sole administration thereof, 4) inhibits various pathogenic pathways, 5) inhibits the cell death of inflammatory cells, and 6) increases the activity of mitochondria, in an in vivo or in vitro allogenic model, a transplantation rejection disease model, a skin transplantation model, and a liver-transplanted patient, and thus inhibits transplantation rejection along with mitigating side effects possibly occurring in the administration of a conventional immunosuppressant alone.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for pre-detecting a defective porous polymer substrate for a separator, including selecting a porous polymer substrate having a plurality of pores; observing the selected porous polymer substrate with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to obtain an image of the porous polymer substrate; quantifying the average value of pore distribution index (PDI); correcting the quantified average value of pore distribution index to obtain the corrected average value of pore distribution index; determining whether or not the corrected average value of pore distribution index is 60 a.u. (arbitrary unit) or less; and classifying the porous polymer substrate as a good product, when the corrected average value of pore distribution index is determined to be 60 a.u. or less, and classifying the porous polymer substrate as a defective product, when the corrected average value of pore distribution index is determined to be larger than 60 a.u.

Abstract: Provided are an antibody that binds specifically to N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and use thereof. An antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, which binds specifically to an epitope of NT-proBNP including the amino acid sequence of HXLGXXX (SEQ ID NO: 2), may detect NT-proBNP, which is a heart disease biomarker, and heart disease can also be effectively diagnosed by using the same.

Abstract: Disclosed is a vehicle jack device. The vehicle jack device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: a base portion in which an inserting hole into which a hinge shaft is inserted is formed and which is supported on a bottom side; a pair of lower arms of which a first portion is installed in the hinge shaft of the base portion in a rotatable way and in which a reinforcing rib is formed in a lengthwise direction; a pair of upper arms respectively installed in a second portion of the lower arm, and on which a reinforcing rib is formed in a lengthwise direction; a bracket member for fixing a first portion of the upper arm in a rotatable way; and a driver installed between the lower arm and the upper arm and providing a tucking driving force to the lower arm and the upper arm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to method and apparatus of analyzing a wired/wireless communication network to optimize performance of the network. In the present invention, data are continuously gathered from all elements constituting a wired/wireless communication network and are analyzed to find an element of which performance and/or efficiency deteriorates. If found, an optimal plan to resolve low performance and/or efficiency is chosen through the data analysis and is then provided in real time. The present invention also relates to a recording medium storing computer programs to conduct said procedures.
