Abstract: Provided are sampling pumps and gas analyzers using the sampling pumps. The sampling pump may include at least one reciprocating pump set and a control system. Each reciprocating pump set can include two reciprocating pumps. The control system can output drive signals for controlling reciprocating drawing and compressing operations of the reciprocating pumps, where the control system may be designed to output the drive signals that cause the two reciprocating pumps within the same set to provide opposing impact directions at the same time.

Abstract: A medium may be provided. The medium includes a servo layer, a data recording layer, and a heat sink layer disposed between the servo layer and the recording layer.

Abstract: The invention provides a long acting curcumin derivative, preparation method and pharmaceutical use thereof, wherein said long acting curcumin derivative having the general structural formula disclosed herein, wherein R1 and R2 are hydrogen or methoxyl; R3 and R4 are each independently selected from C1-C50 alkyl. Compared with cuminoids, the inventive long acting curcumin derivative has a better release effect, a higher bioavailability and pharmaceutical activity, and thus can be useful for the treatment of diseases such as depression and cancer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to interferon (IFN)-?2a modified at a specific Lys residue with Y-shaped branched polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivative and the preparation thereof, as well as the use of the prepared IFN-?2a modified by PEG at a single amino acid residue in medicines.

Abstract: The present invention relates to interferon-?2b modified with Y-shaped branched polyethylene glycol (PEG) at a single Lys residue and the preparation thereof. The peglated IFN-?2b can be used for the preparation of a medicament for treating a disease, e.g. viral infections such as Hepatitis C.

Abstract: A medium may be provided. The medium includes a servo layer, a data recording layer, and a heat sink layer disposed between the servo layer and the recording layer.

Abstract: Vertical cavity light emitting sources that utilize patterned membranes as reflectors are provided. The vertical cavity light emitting sources have a stacked structure that includes an active region disposed between an upper reflector and a lower reflector. The active region, upper reflector and lower reflector can be fabricated from single or multi-layered thin films of solid states materials (“membranes”) that can be separately processed and then stacked to form a vertical cavity light emitting source.

Abstract: Low molecular weight (LMW) peptides have been discovered that are indicative of colorectal cancer. Evaluating patient samples for the presence of such LMW peptides is an effective means of detecting colorectal cancer and monitoring the progression of the disease. The LMW peptides are particularly useful in detecting colorectal cancer during its early stages.
