  • Patent number: 11826431
    Abstract: The present disclosure belongs to the field of pharmaceutical preparations and relates to the design of a series of lipophilic derivatives by using wild-type penetrating peptide penetratin. These penetratin derivatives have a strong ability to penetrate the ocular tissues and do not cause ocular tissue toxicity. As ocular absorption enhancers, non-invasive routes could be used to achieve intraocular drug delivery and increase the ocular bioavailability of drugs. These penetratin derivatives and the ophthalmic drug delivery system constructed by them are used for eye drop administration, which could replace the intraocular injection with poor patients compliance, which greatly enhances the convenience and safety of the treatment of intraocular and fundus diseases.

  • Publication number: 20230376289
    Abstract: This application discloses a method and a related apparatus for implementing a batch system call. The method includes: loading an executable program to a user-mode virtual address space, where the executable program is obtained by compiling source code of the batch system call, and includes abstract syntax tree AST data of the batch system call; and invoking a first instruction to invoke a kernel to generate, based on the AST data in the user-mode virtual address space, binary code that is used to implement the batch system call. Because there is difficulty in inserting malicious data into such a data structure as the AST, it is difficult to insert malicious code into the binary code of the batch system call, so as to avoid an error or an excessively long delay caused by the malicious code when the kernel runs the binary code of the batch system call, thereby improving security of the batch system call.
