Abstract:
This invention provides a combination of microRNAs for evaluating the physiological and/or pathological condition of a subject, wherein the combination comprises all detectable microRNAs stably existing in the serum/plasma of a subject; and a method for evaluating the physiological and/or pathological condition of a subject, wherein the method includes determining all detectable microRNAs stably existing in the serum/plasma of a subject; and a kit for evaluating the physiological and/or pathological condition of a subject, wherein the kit contains the tools for determining all detectable microRNAs that stably existing in the serum/plasma of a subject; and a biochip for evaluating the physiological and/or pathological condition of a subject, wherein the biochip contains the components for determining all detectable microRNAs stably existing in the serum/plasma of a subject. The aforementioned combination, method, kit and biochip can be used for diagnosis as well as differentially diagnosis of diseases including various tumors; various acute/chronic infectious diseases, e.g. viral diseases such as viral influenza, viral hepatitis, AIDS, SARS, bacterial diseases such as tuberculosis, bacterial pneumonia, and other acute/chronic infectious diseases caused by various pathogenic microorganisms; other acute/chronic diseases such as diseases of respiratory system, diseases of immune system, diseases of blood and hematopoietic system, diseases of circulatory system such as cardio-cerebrovascular diseases, metabolic diseases of endocrine system, diseases of digestive system, diseases of nervous system, diseases of urinary system, diseases of reproductive system and diseases of locomotor system, prediction of complications occurrence and malignant diseases relapse, evaluation of therapeutic effects, screening of pharmaceutical active ingredients, assessment of drug efficacy as well as forensic authentication and prohibited drug inspection and the like, possessing a number of advantages such as extensive detection spectrum, high sensitivity, low cost, convenience for sampling, ease for sample preservation, etc. The said method can be widely used in work related to general survey of diseases and so on, improve the low-specificity and low-sensitivity caused by individual differences which single markers are difficult to overcome, significantly increasing the clinical detection rate of diseases, all of which make it become an effective means for diagnosing diseases in an early phase.
Abstract:
In general, the invention is directed to techniques for reducing the amount of switching current that is utilized within a magnetic storage (e.g., MRAM) device. An example apparatus includes a fixed magnetic layer that provides a fixed direction of magnetization, an exchange-coupled magnetic multi-layer structure, and a non-magnetic layer placed between the fixed magnetic layer and the exchange-coupled magnetic multi-layer structure. The exchange-coupled magnetic multi-layer structure includes a recording layer configured to record information and an assisting layer having a lower anisotropy than the recording layer. The exchange coupling between the recording and assisting layers is operable to switch a magnetization direction of the recording layer. In some cases, the exchange-coupled magnetic multi-layer structure may further include a spacer separating the recording and assisting layers and configured to weaken an exchange coupling between the recording and assisting layers.
