Abstract: A backlight module includes a light guide plate, which includes a substrate and at least two light guide sets formed on a surface of the substrate. Each light guide set includes a plurality of light guide elements, with the light guide elements including emission surface structures to emit light, and the emission surface structures of the light guide elements of one of the light guide sets being different from the emission surface structures of the light guide elements of another one of the light guide sets.

Abstract: A method for treating/relief of women's menstruation pain. The pain is reduced or relieved by externally administering an effective amount of an essential oil obtained from anthopogon.

Abstract: A case for accommodating a camera includes a wrist cuff, a connector secured to the wrist cuff, and a strap having opposite ends coupled to the connector. The wrist cuff includes two elastic members, and a through hole with two openings at opposite ends of the through hole. The elastic members are arranged at opposite end portions of the wrist cuff for closing the openings when the elastic members are in normal state, and the elastic members are deformable so as to open the openings.

Abstract: A method for treating/relief of women's menstruation pain. The pain is reduced or relieved by externally administering an effective amount of an essential oil obtained from origanum, anthopogan, perrila, herba moslae, elemi, cuban oregano and/or a combination thereof.

Abstract: The present invention discloses ?-bulnesene isolated from the essential oil of the plant of Pogostemon cablin. Steam distilled essential oil from the aerial parts of Pogostemon cablin was isolated to obtain ?-Bulnesene. The invented ?-Bulnesene inhibited platelet aggregation induced by platelet-activating factor (PAF) or arachidonic acid (AA). Use of the invented ?-bulnesene as anti-inflammation agent is disclosed. The invented ?-Bulnesene has the following chemical structure: wherein R1, R2 and R3 are respectively H, C51-C4 alkyl or isopropyl.

Abstract: A mutated expandase enzyme having higher activity on penicillin G is provided to produce phenylacetyl-7-aminodeacetoxycephalosporanic acid (7-ADCA), which mutated expandase enzyme has one or more amino acid substitutions selected form M73T, S79E, V275I, L277K, C281Y, G300V, N304K, I305L and I305M.

Abstract: The present invention discloses the new use of bismuth subgallate for use in the inhibition of the production of nitric oxide synthase. Also disclosed is the synergistic efficacy of bismuth subgallate in combination with borneol in the inhibition of the production of nitric oxide synthase.

Abstract: The present invention discloses the use of bismuth subgallate in the inhibition of the production of nitric acid synthase. Also disclosed is the synergistic efficacy of bismuth subgallate in combination with borneol in the inhibition of the production of nitric acid synthase.

Abstract: The invention provides the use of the saponin derivatives, which is of the general formula (I) or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts and esters thereof: 1

Abstract: The method to produce itaconic acid is a solid-state fermentation method. Sugarcane pressmud or peeled sugarcane pressmud is the support used to adsorb liquid medium for the production of itaconic acid by an Aspergillus terreus mutant strain. This mutant strain was derived from Aspergillus terreus ATCC 10020 by successive mutation. Beside the remaining sucrose in the sugarcane pressmud, other carbon source can be added, i.e. glucose, fructose, sucrose, or starch hydrolysate. Appropriate amounts of nitrogen source, such as ammonium nitrate, or ammonium sulfate are added. Mineral salts, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate, magnesium sulfate, calcium sulfate, ferric chloride, zinc sulfate, and copper sulfate can be added to the medium. The suitable amount of liquid medium that can be added to the support is 4 to 6 times its dry weight for the sugarcane pressmud and 8 to 14 times its dry weight for the peeled sugarcane pressmud. The optimal pH of the medium is between 2.0-3.0.

Abstract: The invention provides a group of subtilisin YaB mutants, which are obtained by the substitution of the glycine residues at the 124, 151 and 159 positions of wild type subtilisin YaB with other amino acid residues by site directed mutagenesis. The subtilisin YaB mutants have special substrate specificity and relatively higher elastin/casein hydrolyzing activity. The subtilisin YaB mutants can be used in various aspects such as the quality improvement of meat and the protein processing for foodstuff and feedstuff. Moreover, the invention also includes the nucleic acid sequences encoding such enzyme mutants and the uses of such enzyme mutants.
