Abstract: Use of carrimycin in mycobacterium tuberculosis infection resistance comprises the main steps: measuring the activity of carrimycin in mycobacterium tuberculosis resistance by adopting an absolute concentration method through taking clinical first-line antituberculotics, i.e., isoniazid and rifampicin as controls. The result indicates that carrimycin has obvious superior activity to clinically-separated mycobacterium tuberculosis including drug-resistant bacteria compared with those of the clinical first-line control drugs, i.e., the isoniazid and the rifampicin, and use of carrimycin in manufacturing drugs for treating tubercle bacillus infected diseases are expected to be developed.

Abstract: Described herein is computing device for machine learning based risk analysis and decision automation in intelligent underwriting. In accordance with one aspect of the framework, input data of underwriting cases is preprocessed and used to train a predictive model. The predictive model may be cross-validated and tested for accuracy. The predictive model may then be applied to a current underwriting case in order to automatically identify and assess associated risks and provide a decision recommendation.

Abstract: A surgical instrument comprises an actuator, an extension tube and a controller, wherein the near end of the extension tube is connected with the controller, the far end of the extension tube is connected with the actuator, and the actuator can rotate relative to the far end of the extension tube. The controller comprises a bend control mechanism capable of moving in at least one direction. The extension tube comprises a first flexible component and moves in at least one direction through the bend control mechanism. The first flexible component enables the actuator to rotate relative to the far end of the extension tube towards at least one side. A bendable magazine is further provided. The actuator can bend relative to the far end of the extension tube by a larger angle through the flexible components, thereby being suitable for medical treatment under more complex clinical conditions.
