  • Patent number: 11540516
    Abstract: Provided are m-diamide compounds and a preparation method therefor and the use thereof. The m-diamide compounds have a structure represented by formula I. The m-diamide compounds of the present invention can have a high insecticidal activity at a low dose and take effect rapidly, can exert the insecticidal activity one day after application, can achieve a high insecticidal activity within three days, and have a good fast-acting property; moreover, due to the good effect at a low dose, the m-diamide compounds can reduce the damage to plants and human beings caused by excessive drug concentrations, enable less drug residue to be generated during application which is more conducive to environmental protection, and have broad application prospects.

  • Patent number: 11385232
    Abstract: Methods and kits for detecting hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence or metastasis, and of measuring markers of hepatocellular carcinoma, including markers of hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence or metastasis, in a blood sample obtained from a subject by (a) isolating circulating tumor cells (CTCs) by contacting a blood sample obtained from the subject with a set of capture antibodies, wherein the capture antibodies specifically bind asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR), Glypican-3, and epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM); (b) contacting the isolated CTCs with an antibody that specifically binds vimentin; and (c) measuring the number of vimentin-positive CTC.

  • Patent number: 11138904
    Abstract: Embodiments of a resettable injection training device are provided herein. The resettable injection training device includes a body and a retractable shield, extendable and retractable relative to the body of the device, in an embodiment. In another embodiment, the resettable injection training device may include an injection simulation member. The retractable shield may be lockable in an extended position, and may be unlocked to retract the shield for a subsequent use of the device in one non-limiting embodiment. In another non-limiting embodiment, a resetting component may be used to retract the shield to reset the device.

  • Patent number: 10634587
    Abstract: A system for isolating preselected cell types from a fluid sample that includes a plurality of cell types includes a cell-capture fluidic chip, and a chip holder configured to receive the cell-capture fluidic chip and to maintain the cell-capture fluidic chip with a substantially fluid-tight seal while in operation. The chip holder is further configured to release the cell-capture fluidic chip to be removed from the chip holder for further processing. The cell-capture fluidic chip includes a substrate, a laser micro-dissection membrane disposed on the substrate, and a channel-defining layer disposed on the laser micro-dissection membrane. The laser micro-dissection membrane has a surface adapted to capture preselected cell types preferentially over other cell types of the plurality of cell types. The channel-defining layer is removable from the laser micro-dissection membrane for further processing of the cell-capture fluidic chip.

  • Patent number: 10444233
    Abstract: A device for capturing preselected cell types from a fluid sample that includes a plurality of cell types includes a substrate, a plurality of nanowires at least one of attached to or integral with a surface of the substrate such that each nanowire of the plurality of nanowires has an unattached end, and a layer of temperature-responsive material formed on at least the unattached end of each of the plurality of nanowires. The layer of temperature-responsive material has a compact configuration at a first temperature and an expanded configuration at a second temperature so as to facilitate release of cells captured at the first temperature to be released at the second temperature.
