The present disclosure generally relates to a XTS cache operation during a power down event. Upon detection of power loss, data that is waiting to be encrypted needs to be flushed to the memory device.

Oral cavity wound healing occurs in an environment that sustains ongoing physical trauma and is rich in bacteria. Patients undergoing cleft palate repair have a high degree of wound healing complications, such as oronasal fistula (ONF) formation. Following hard palate injury, ONF was created that demonstrated little change in pro-regenerative monocytes LY6Clo monocytes; however, there were increased M2 macrophages observed. Delivery of FTY720 nanofiber scaffolds following hard palate injury prevented ONF formation, allowed complete wound healing and was associated with increased LY6Clo monocytes and pro-regenerative M2 macrophages. Evaluation of interleukin gene expression revealed reduction in pro-inflammatory IL1 and IL6 and increased expression of pro-regenerative IL10 with FTY720 nanofiber delivery. The ability of FTY720 scaffolds to increase LY6Clo monocytes, increase M2 macrophages and alter the interleukin expression during hard palate mucosal healing demonstrates the ability of a FTY720-based autotherapy to improve oral cavity wound healing.

The present invention relates to the use of cannabidiol (CBD) for the treatment of tumours associated with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). In particular the CBD was able to decrease the number and size of marker cells, pS6, in a zebrafish model of TSC. This is suggestive of a disease modifying effect whereby treatment with CBD could result in the reduction or prevention of the benign tumours that occur in TSC patients. Preferably the CBD used is in the form of a highly purified extract of cannabis such that the CBD is present at greater than 98% of the total extract (w/w) and the other components of the extract are characterised. In particular the cannabinoid tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) has been substantially removed, to a level of not more than 0.15% (w/w) and the propyl analogue of CBD, cannabidivarin, (CBDV) is present in amounts of up to 1%. Alternatively, the CBD may be a synthetically produced CBD. In use the CBD is given concomitantly with one or more other drugs used in the treatment of TSC. Such drugs may include rapamycin and/or everolimus.
