Abstract: This invention discloses a herbal composition for treating or preventing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), including the wild type and its different variant strains. The composition comprises the extract of Platycodon grandiflorum, which showed the synergistic inhibitory effect of infection compared to the Anti-epidemic No. 1 (AN1) consisted of Astragalus membranaceus, Atractylodes macrocephala, Saposhnikovia divaricata, Atractylodes lancea, Pogostemon cablin, Glehnia littoralis, Lonicera japonica and Cyrtomium fortunei.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for inhibiting a binding of a SARS-CoV-2 spike protein of a SARS-CoV-2 to an angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 including contacting the SARS-CoV-2 with a sufficient concentration of disulfiram, a method for inhibiting an activity of a main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2 including contacting a SARS-CoV-2 with a sufficient concentration of disulfiram, and a method for inhibiting an activity of a papain-like protease (PLpro) of SARS-CoV-2 including contacting a SARS-CoV-2 with a sufficient concentration of disulfiram. A method for inhibiting a replication or an infection of a SARS-CoV-2 in a cell includes contacting the cell with a sufficient concentration of disulfiram and a medical composition for use in a treatment of an infection of SARS-CoV-2 including a therapeutically effective amount of disulfiram are also provided.

Abstract: A multi-channel audio signal decoding method and device is provided. The multi-channel audio signal decoding method includes receiving a first multi-channel audio signal; performing a first decoding procedure on the first multi-channel audio signal to generate a second multi-channel audio signal; performing a second decoding procedure on a first single-channel audio data of the second multi-channel audio signal to generate a first single-channel audio signal when the first single-channel audio data belongs to a first classification; and performing a third decoding procedure on a second single-channel audio data of the second multi-channel audio signal to generate a second single-channel audio signal when the second single-channel audio data belongs to a second classification. The number of instructions of the third decoding procedure is less than that of the second decoding procedure.

Abstract: A network device (20) includes more than an active card (201) and a standby card (200). The active card is used for establishing telephony connection between a first terminal device (10) and a second terminal device (20) via a media gateway control device, and sending communication data between the first terminal device and the media gateway control device. The standby card is used for reestablishing telephony connection between the first terminal device and the second terminal device via a redundancy command and a number of connections of the active card in response to a fault on the active card.
