  • Publication number: 20140302613
    Abstract: A means for detecting active oxygen in the human body, which quantitatively detects the amount of active oxygen remaining in the body by applying urine to a detection paper, and is characterized by providing a means for detecting active oxygen in the human body, which detects the amount of active oxygen by submerging a test strip into urine, on which has been applied a color indicating agent that changes color by reacting with malondialdehyde (MDA) and to which has been coupled a support stick, and observing color change. The present invention can affordably and simply identify active oxygen, because the test strip changes color when simply wetted with urine and the test does not require additional technically skilled laboratory staff or expensive equipment. Also, the invention enables simple testing regardless of time and space since a specific facility is unnecessary for the test, thereby providing another advantage of general usage.

  • Publication number: 20140171380
    Abstract: Successful CNS drug discovery requires a scalable, highly physiological neuronal model. Using directed differentiation of mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells, including mES cells isolated from a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a highly homogeneous primary neuronal model amenable to phenotypic assays for production and synaptotoxicity of amyloid ?-peptide was developed. This model furnishes a highly physiological and AD-relevant platform suitable for high throughput small molecule and functional genetic screens, providing specific small molecule compounds identified by such screens.

  • Publication number: 20140101751
    Abstract: Provided is a network-based data loss prevention (DLP) system. The network-based DLP system includes a FPGA engine including a pattern matcher and a MCP engine including a session list filter. The a pattern matcher hash-processes a payload of an input packet in units of a certain size, compares a pre-stored pattern and the hash-processed packet, checks a matching rule ID and an upload channel ID corresponding to the pre-stored pattern when there is a match therebetween, adds tagging information to a header of the input packet, and outputs the packet. The session list filter receives the packet with the tagging information added thereto, and performs pre-registered processing on the pre-registered session, or passes the received packet. The processor uploads, forwards, or drops the received packet in correspondence with the matching rule ID.
