  • Patent number: 8445207
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a screening method using the genes related to teratogenicity, more precisely the genes up- or down-regulated by a drug inducing teratogenicity such as thalidomide, valproic acid, and methotrexate and a method for screening of thalidomide, valproic acid and methotrexate using the genes. The genes of the present invention is based on reactive genes selected by DNA microarray chip, so that it is very effective in risk assessment and monitoring drugs or chemicals having high risk of teratogenicity and at the same time it can be used as a tool to examine mechanism of teratogenicity.

  • Patent number: 8109786
    Abstract: A connector for a coaxial cable physically and electrically connects a coaxial cable with various kinds of electric members. The coaxial cable includes a hollow inner conductor and a corrugated outer conductor surrounding the inner conductor. A carrier terminal inserted into the inner conductor of the coaxial cable has a diameter elastically adjusted to an inner diameter of the inner conductor.

  • Patent number: 8080377
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for confirming the exposure on chrysene using a DNA fragment whose expression is increased or decreased specifically when it is exposed to chrysene. The method of the present invention is effective in determination of risk by chrysene and monitoring the chrysene exposure, so that it can be effectively used as a tool for examining the mechanism of chrysene induced toxicity.

  • Publication number: 20110190155
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a marker gene for screening of drug candidates inducing pulmonary toxicity and a screening method using the same, more precisely a marker gene up- or down regulated by amiodarone which is a drug inducing pulmonary toxicity and a method for screening drug candidates inducing pulmonary toxicity using the same. The marker gene of the present invention can be effectively used for monitoring and identifying drugs or chemical having high risk of inducing pulmonary toxicity and can be used as an effective tool for examining the mechanism of amiodarone which causes pulmonary toxicity and side effects.

  • Publication number: 20110118127
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a marker gene for screening a drug inducing toxicity in human and a screening method using the same. More precisely, the invention relates to a microarray on which marker genes up-or down-regulated specifically by 16 drugs inducing pulmonary toxicity, teratogenicity, nephrotoxicity, cardiotoxicity or mutation (Methotrexate, Nitrofurantoin, Amiodarone, Carbamazepine, Valproic acid, Thalidomide, Cisplatin, Gentamycin, Amphotericine, Furylfuramide, N-nitroso-N-methylurea, methylmethanesulfonate, 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide, 2-nitrofluorene, Doxorubicin and Daunorubicin) are integrated, a kit comprising the said microarray, and a screening method of a drug inducing toxicity in human using the same.
