Abstract: The invention provides methods of inhibiting the development or progression of a thioesterase deficiency disorder in a mammal by the administration of a compound that functionally mimics the enzymatic activity of all thioesterases in mammals. Such thioesterase deficiency disorders include cancers and adult- or infant-neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs). The invention also provides small molecule mimics of thioesterases useful in the methods of the invention and pharmaceutical compositions containing the therapeutically effective compounds and methods of using the same.

Abstract: A method applicable to a commonest application scenario, the method includes: an AR receives a first packet sent in a unicast manner by a CGN. The first packet includes information for indicating Restart announce, the first packet's source address is the CGN's address, and the first packet's destination address is the AR's address; AR changes the first packet's destination address to an address of a CPE connected to the AR, to obtain a second packet, where the AR and the CPE are connected by using a Layer 2 network, and the CPE's address is a multicast address; and the AR sends the second packet. The method is used for quickly informing, after the CGN restarts or undergoes an active/standby switchover, the CPE that an exception occurs, for example, the CGN restarts or undergoes an active/standby switchover, so that a CGN has relatively small load when recreating NAT mapping.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method for determining a multicast path, a method for receiving a data packet, and a router. The method for determining a multicast path includes: receiving, by a multicast address translation router, a first multicast join request packet, where the first multicast join request packet is an IPV4 packet, or the first multicast join request packet is an Internet Protocol version 6 IPV6 packet and a multicast address of the first multicast join request packet is an IPV6 multicast address obtained by performing Internet Protocol version translation on an IPV4 multicast address; and determining a shorter path between a first path and a second path. The multicast address translation router may determine the shorter path between the first path and the second path, thereby implementing a method for selecting a shorter path from the paths of different network types, which improves multicast efficiency.
