Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for treating gefitinib-resistant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) comprising administering an effective amount of a resveratrol analogue, (Z)3,4,5,4′-tetramethoxystilbene (TMS), to a subject in need thereof. The present invention also relates to a method for inducing apoptosis in gefitinib-resistant NSCLC cells comprising contacting the resveratrol analogue to the cells at an effective amount. The present methods are mediated by different signaling pathways connected to cell proliferation and differentiation such as mTOR, JNK, and certain EGFR phosphorylated tyrosine kinase.
Abstract:
A method for scheduling a random-access communication system having high-priority (HP) and low-priority (LP) nodes is provided, where the scheduling is configured such that the system provides an absolute throughput guarantee for the HP nodes, and a proportional throughput guarantee for the LP nodes. The method is based on obtaining a length of a contention window assigned to an individual node, which is either a HP or a LP node, from a per-slot attempt rate of this individual node. In particular, the attempt rate of each individual node is determined by an algorithm configured such that a resultant sum of the per-slot attempt rates of all the individual nodes is a fixed value independent of the number of the individual nodes. By this scheduling method, the maximum system throughput is approached. The method can be advantageously used in a wireless local area network (WLAN).
Abstract:
A method of detecting an internet attack against a computing device is disclosed. The method of detecting an internet attack against a computing device comprising the steps of receiving a plurality of incoming network packets; extracting a plurality of incoming feature packets based on the plurality of incoming network packets; predicting a predicted incoming feature packet based on the plurality of incoming feature packets; obtaining a first classification data based on one of the incoming feature packets using a first classifier; obtaining a second classification data based on the predicted incoming feature packet by using a second classifier; and performing at least one remedy action if the first classification data or the second classification data identifies the internet intrusion attack; wherein each of the plurality of incoming feature packets and the predicted incoming feature packet comprise a plurality of incoming features and a plurality of predicted features respectively.
Abstract:

Abstract:
This invention provides a method of preventing and/or treating thymus degeneration comprising administering an effective amount of dihydromyricetin to a subject in need thereof, in which the degeneration is induced by dexamethasone. In one embodiment, the thymus degeneration is induced during the course of treatment of inflammation by dexamethasone.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and the method of preparation thereof. The aforesaid pharmaceutical composition is prepared by the following components in weight percent: 0.1%-0.3% scutellarin, 20%-25% co-surfactant, 40-50% surfactant, and 25-30% oil. The method of preparing the aforesaid pharmaceutical composition comprises the steps of: (1) dispersing scutellarin in co-surfactant and surfactant to obtain a mixture; (2) dispersing the mixture from step (1) in oil, and thermostatically and magnetically stirring the dispersion mixture under the temperature of 25° C. to 37° C., such that the components thereof are completely dissolved to obtain the pharmaceutical composition. Through the use of the selected pharmaceutical adjuvants having the ability to inhibit MRP2, the aforesaid pharmaceutical composition effectively improves absorption and bioavailability of scutellarin. The preparation of the aforesaid pharmaceutical composition is simple and convenient, and the pharmaceutical composition can be processed into a variety of dosage forms for oral administration.
Abstract:
A use of ganoderma fungal RNA molecules, a drug, a drug composition and a delivery carrier are provided. It has been proved that the tRFs derived from the ganoderma traditional Chinese medicine has an obvious inhibiting effect on airway smooth muscle cell phenotype change (proliferation, abnormal secretion and the like) induced by TGF-β1 and AHR, inflammation and remodeling of asthma mice induced by Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus in the experiments of the present disclosure, which suggests that the tRFs derived from the ganoderma traditional Chinese medicine and a pharmaceutical composition can be a brand new medicine for treating asthma. The drug comprises the RNA molecule and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent and/or excipient. The present disclosure is helpful for the research and development of asthma treatment drugs and provides reference for the research and development of other respiratory system disease treatment drugs.

Abstract:
Example embodiments include a method that improves calculations of surface roughness that map a planetary surface. The method includes calculating a V-system matrix with a size of α×α in an interval [0,1]; transforming the V-system matrix into an orthogonal matrix; improving calculations of the surface roughness of the planetary surface by calculating the surface roughness of a digital elevation model generated from data captured from the planetary surface; and generating a map of the planetary surface based on the surface roughness.
