Abstract: A method for diagnosing cancer, comprises detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) contained specifically in exhaled breath of cancer patients, and more particularly, to a method for providing information for cancer diagnosis, which comprises a step of measuring whether ionized fragments of cancer-specific VOCs, which have molecular weights of (i) 69, (ii) 131 and (iii) 181, are present in exhaled breath gas collected from patients suspected of having cancer. Cancer can be early diagnosed with high sensitivity in a non-invasive manner by use of exhaled breath sampled from cancer patients. Thus, the cancer diagnosis method can diagnose cancer in a more cost-effective and rapid manner compared to conventional cancer diagnosis methods.

Abstract: The present invention relates to: a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating arthritis, which comprises synthetic polypeptides; injections for preventing or treating arthritis; and a pharmaceutical composition for inducing differentiation of cartilage cells. Synthetic polypeptides of the present invention consisting of a polypeptide represented by SEQ ID NO: 1 and a polypeptide represented by SEQ ID NO: 2 have activity for recruiting stem cells to an arthritis region, inhibit apoptosis of cartilage cells, and exhibit anti-inflammatory activity and activity for promoting regeneration of cartilage cells. Thus, unlike a conventional arthritis treatment agent, the synthetic polypeptides can improve cartilage damage, can inhibit degenerative changes per se and can, at the same time, exhibit an effect as a stem cell treatment agent, and thereby can be usefully utilized as an arthritis prevention or treatment agent.

Abstract: A method for differentiating stem cells into vascular cells, including adhering the stem cells to a culture plate with a surface having a hydrophobic property or on which a growth factor is immobilized, and culturing the cells. The cultured stem cells later detach from the culture plate as their density increases to form a three-dimensional cell cluster and differentiate into vascular cells. The cell cluster can be used as a cell therapy agent for angiogenesis.

An n-th one of the stages (“n” is a natural number) includes a pull-up part, a pull-up controller, a first pull-down part, a second pull-down part, and a pull-down controller. The pull-up part outputs a first clock signal as an output signal of the n-th stage. The pull-up controller selectively applies first and second powers to a control electrode of the pull-up part. The first pull-down part pulls down a voltage applied to the control electrode of the pull-up part to an off voltage. The second pull-down part pulls down a voltage applied to an output electrode of the pull-up part to the off voltage. The pull-down controller selectively applies the first and second powers to control electrodes of the first and second pull-down parts.

Abstract: Disclosed are a polylactide stereocomplex with improved thermal stability and thus improved processability and a method for preparing the same. In order to confer flexibility to polymer chains, D-type polylactide polymer containing a small amount of caprolactone (poly D-lactide-caprolactone copolymer) is synthesized and it is uniformly mixed with L-type single-phase polylactide to prepare a flexible polylactide stereocomplex. Since the polylactide stereocomplex having flexible polymer chains has superior heat resistance and mechanical stability and experiences little decrease of the degree of stereocomplex formation even after thermal processing, the polylactide stereocomplex having improved thermal stability can be advantageously used for engineering plastics requiring high strength and good thermal stability, alternative materials for general-use plastics, high-performance medical materials, or the like because of its remarkably improved processability.
