  • Patent number: 11737348
    Abstract: A halide material having general formula ArMAX is disclosed. The halide material can be processed to an optoelectronic film with a halogenated formamidine and a lead halide, and the optoelectronic film can be applied in the manufacture of an optoelectronic device like a perovskite laser or a PeLED. Experimental data have proved that, the fabricated optoelectronic film shows a property of photoluminescence (PL) peak wavelength adjustable. Moreover, the PL peak wavelength moves from 482 nm to 534 nm with the increase of the content of lead (Pb), halogen (X) and formamidine (FA) in the optoelectronic film. Furthermore, experimental data have also indicated that, the fabricated optoelectronic film can be used as a blue emissive layer, a red emissive layer or a green emissive layer, thereby having a significant potential for application in optoelectronics industry.

  • Publication number: 20140343347
    Abstract: A method of treatment and/or prevention of cancer comprises administering agents which cause increased intracellular granularity in cancer cells, at least in an amount sufficient to inhibit proliferation of such cells and preferably in an amount sufficient to lead to cancer cell death. The method is particularly directed to refractory cancer, particularly hormone refractory prostate cancer. The agents identified cause increased intracellular granularity in the cancer cells, and also convert adherent cancer cells to non-adherent cancer cells, leading to cancer cell death. Using the present invention, cancer cells undergo increased intracellular granularity at relatively low agent concentrations, while also inhibiting cell proliferation. Increased concentrations lead to conversion of adherent cancer cells to non-adherent cancer cells, then to cell death.

  • Publication number: 20140221404
    Abstract: In order to identify a gene that can serve as an indicator for predicting the effectiveness of a drug treatment of cancer and to provide a novel method for predicting the effectiveness of a drug treatment targeting said gene, lung adenocarcinomas were subjected to whole-transcriptome sequencing. As a result, in-frame fusion transcripts between the KIF5B gene and the RET gene were identified. The KIF5B-RET gene fusions were detected in 6 out of 319 (2%) LADC specimens from Japanese individuals and 1 out of 80 (1%) LADC specimens from U.S.A. individuals. None of the seven subjects revealed known activating mutations such as EGFR, KRAS or ALK oncogenes; thus, said gene fusions were found to be responsible mutations (driver mutations) for oncogenesis. Since said gene fusions are considered to induce constitutive activation of RET tyrosine kinase protein, it was found that treatments with RET tyrosine kinase inhibitors are effective in patients with detection of said gene fusions.
