Abstract: Methods and apparatuses pertaining to adaptive display partial update may involve determining whether partial update for an image frame is allowed and, responsive to a determination that the partial update for the image frame is allowed, determining whether the partial update is applicable to the image frame. Responsive to a determination that the partial update is applicable to the image frame, whether or not at least a difference between one or more properties of the image frame and one or more properties of a previous image frame exceeds a threshold may be determined. A partial-frame processing may be performed to partially update the image frame responsive to a determination that the difference does not exceed the threshold.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for diagnosing and treating Helicobacter pylori infection by using a monoclonal antibody to detect Helicobacter pylori neutrophil-activating protein (HP-NAP) and inhibit the activity thereof. The monoclonal antibody is an anti-FLAG antibody that binds to a specific epitope on HP-NAP for the detection of HP-NAP in its native form or denatured form. Furthermore, the present invention uses the anti-FLAG antibody to block HP-NAP-induced production of reactive oxygen species by human neutrophils. Thus, the present invention can be applied in clinical diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection as well as treatment of the infection via inhibiting Helicobacter pylori-induced inflammation.
