Abstract: The present invention discloses a method to determine whether a warning sign will occur in a subject with the Flavivirus infectious illness, and a pharmaceutical composition. The method includes steps of measuring the level of serum hyaluronan of the subject, and determining that the warning sign will occur in his/her illness course when the level is higher than or equal to 70 ng/mL. It is identified in the invention that the level of the serum hyaluronan is an excellent predicator for the severity of the Flavivirus infectious illness.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting the growth of Gram-positive bacteria comprising administering an effective amount of Tellimagrandin II, its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, enantiomer, isomer or tautomer to a subject is provided. The Gram-positive bacteria comprise methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. A method of treating sepsis comprising administering an effective amount of Tellimagrandin II, its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, enantiomer, isomer or tautomer to a subject is also provided. A method of treating leukemia comprising administering an effective amount of Tellimagrandin II, its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, enantiomer, isomer or tautomer to a subject is further provided.

Abstract: A set-top box includes a receiving module, a shooting module, a determining module and a positioning module. The receiving module receives a first data from a set-top box. The shooting module shoots an image characteristic of a user of the set-top box location. The determining module detects whether the image characteristic of the user shoot by the shooting module of the set-top box is same as the image characteristic of the user of the first data. The positioning module obtains the video content and remains the video content in the position.

Abstract: A method for improving tetracycline-resistance of A. baumannii, by providing a ginger compound combined with tetracycline to against A. baumannii infection, wherein the ginger compound comprises [6]-dehydrogingerdione, [6]-shogaol and [6]-gingerol or [10]-gingerol, [6]-shogaol and [6]-gingerol.

Abstract: According to one aspect, an optical recorder for recording data onto a disc includes a shock detector. The shock detector is used for determining whether the optical recorder is vibrated based on a servo error signal and generating a control signal. The control signal is used for interrupting recording data onto the disc when the optical recorder is vibrated.

Abstract: A method is used for optimizing a parameter of an processing unit. The method is for providing an initial input Fi=0 to be a value of the parameter, and detecting a corresponding initial output O(Fi=0), determining step value ?F, providing a first input F0??F and a second input F0+?F, detecting a first output O(F0??F) and a second output O(F0+?F), determining whether the first output O(F0??F) is greater than the second output O(F0+?F), determining a first seeking direction, providing other inputs Fi, Fi+1, Fi+2, . . . Fi+n?1, and then detecting corresponding other outputs O(Fi), O(Fi+1), O(Fi+2), . . . O(Fi+n?1), wherein n is a natural number, determining a stop point Fi, stopping seeking along the first seeking direction at the stop point, identifying an extremum output, and identifying an input to be the optimized value of the parameter. An information storage apparatus for optimizing a parameter is also disclosed.
