Abstract: The present invention is to provide a system for assisting a user in troubleshooting network connection problems, which includes a main terminal device (e.g., a computer) and a mediation device (e.g., a router) connected to the main terminal device and storing an assisting web page. Upon receiving a web page request instruction from the main terminal device, the mediation device redirects the web page request instruction to a website address. When the mediation device determines that itself is not connected to the Internet (i.e., a network connection problem occurs), the mediation device will send the assisting web page to the main terminal device. The assisting web page is displayed by the main terminal device through a browser thereof, so as for the user to troubleshoot the network connection problem according to the steps specified in the assisting web page (e.g., to perform a line inspection, a light signal check, etc.).

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for determining the prognosis of a subject diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma based on the expression level of at least one microRNA in the non-cancerous liver tissue of the subject. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, expression levels of miR-486-3p, miR-876-5p, and miR-381 are positively associated with a favorable prognosis, while expression levels of miR-30c, miR-432, and miR-15b are negatively associated with a favorable prognosis.

Abstract: A non-human animal disease model for hepatitis B virus-associated liver disease is disclosed. The animal disease model is transduced with a hepatitis B virus genome in the liver cells thereof and exhibits the following symptoms: hepatitis B viral particles and hepatitis B viral DNA in the serum, hepatitis B virus (HBV) envelope and HBV e proteins in the serum, expression of HBV core and HBV envelope proteins in the liver but not in the kidney, heart, lung, brain, pancreas, spleen, stomach or intestine tissues. The animal disease model may develop hepatocellular carcinoma, exhibiting an elevated level of alanine aminotransferase as compared to a control animal without the hepatitis B virus genome in the liver cells thereof, and liver pathological symptoms such as tumor nodules, dysplasia, inflammatory infiltrates, necrosis and fibrosis.

Abstract: This invention discloses chemically modified polyaminosaccharides, in particular chemically modified chitosans, in the molecular structure of which a predetermined proportion of the amino functional groups is sulfonated by the hydrocarbyl sultone compound via a covalent bond. Such chemically modified polyaminosaccharides may be produced by a process of sulfonating an un-modified polyaminosaccharide having amino functional groups by a hydrocarbyl sultone compound in the presence of an organic solvent under a suitable temperature. Chemically modified chitosans of this invention may be used in a variety of applications, including wound healing.
