Abstract: A method of cleaning includes placing a semiconductor device manufacturing tool component made of quartz on a support. A cleaning fluid inlet line is attached to a first open-ended tubular quartz projection extending from an outer main surface of the semiconductor device manufacturing tool component. A cleaning fluid is applied to the semiconductor device manufacturing tool component by introducing the cleaning fluid through the cleaning fluid inlet line and the tubular quartz projection.

Abstract: A power supply unit supplies power to a load, and the power supply unit includes a power factor corrector, a DC conversion module, and an isolated conversion module. The power factor corrector is plugged into a first main circuit board and converts an AC power into a DC power. The DC conversion module is plugged into the first main circuit board and converts the DC power into a main power. The isolated conversion module includes a bus capacitor, the bus capacitor is coupled to the DC conversion module through a first power copper bar, and coupled to the power factor corrector through a second power copper bar. The first power copper bar and the second power copper bar are arranged on a side opposite to the first main circuit board, and are arranged in parallel with the first main circuit board.

Abstract: At least one isolated lactic acid bacteria strains selected from the following: TSP05 (Lactobacillus plantarum), TSF331 (Lactobacillus fermentum) and TSR332 (Lactobacillus reuteri) is provided. The above-mentioned active or inactive lactic acid bacteria strains have a function of hepatoprotection and is used in a form of a food composition or a pharmaceutical composition.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an anti-aging composition, which includes: (a) isolated lactic acid bacterial strains or a fermented product thereof; and (b) an excipient, a diluent, or a carrier; wherein the isolated lactic acid bacterial strains include: Bifidobacterium bifidum VDD088 strains, Bifidobacterium breve Bv-889 strains, and Bifidobacterium longum BLI-02 strains. The present invention further provides a method for preventing aging by administering the foregoing anti-aging composition to a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a probiotic composition that includes Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salicinius AP-32, Lactobacillus johnsonii MH-68, and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis CP-9, which are deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC) respectively under accession numbers CCTCC M 2011127, CCTCC M 2011128, and CCTCC M 2014588. A number ratio of Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salicinius AP-32, Lactobacillus johnsonii MH-68, and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis CP-9 ranges from 1:0.1:0.1 to 1:1:8. Also disclosed herein is use of the probiotic composition for alleviating type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).

Abstract: A method for producing ?-aminobutyric acid includes cultivating, in a culture medium containing glutamic acid or a salt thereof, a probiotic composition including at least one lactic acid bacterial strain selected from the group consisting of Bifidobacterium breve CCFM1025 which is deposited at the Guangdong Microbial Culture Collection Center under an accession number GDMCC 60386, Lactobacillus acidophilus TYCA06, Lactobacillus plantarum LPL28, and Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis BLI-02 which are deposited at the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center respectively under accession numbers CGMCC 15210, CGMCC 17954, and CGMCC 15212, Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salicinius AP-32 which is deposited at the China Center for Type Culture Collection under an accession number CCTCC M 2011127, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: Provided herein is a compound of Formula (I): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the variables are defined herein. Also provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of Formula (I) and methods of using the compounds, e.g., in the treatment of neuropathy-related disorders and fibrotic diseases.

Abstract: Histone deacetylases (HDACs) inhibitors are disclosed according to the following structural formula. The moiety A is a benzene ring, optionally substituted.
