A bionic fixing apparatus is provided. The bionic fixing apparatus includes a body having a through hole and at least one slit. The through hole penetrates the body from the top surface to the bottom surface to form a top opening and a bottom opening. An inner diameter of the top opening is larger than an inner diameter of the bottom opening. The slit is connected to the bottom opening and extends upwardly from the bottom surface of the body, such that the body has a flexible bottom portion.

An artificial intervertebral disc is configured to be inserted between adjacent human vertebrae. The artificial intervertebral disc includes a first connection block, a joint block and a second connection block. The joint block has a convex surface and a rear surface. The rear surface of the joint block is stacked on the first connection block. The second connection block is slidably stacked on the convex surface of the joint block, such that the second connection block is movable relative to the first connection block. In addition, the convex surface is a curved surface, and the convex surface is arranged off-axis with respect to the rear surface.

The present disclosure provides a biochemistry reactive material, including a substrate and an enzyme composition immobilized on the substrate. The enzyme composition is selected from a group consisting of a first enzyme, a second enzyme, and a combination thereof. The first enzyme is used for eliminating a glycan residue of an electronegative low-density lipoprotein (electronegative LDL). The second enzyme is used for eliminating ceramide carried by an electronegative low-density lipoprotein. The biochemistry reactive material is capable of eliminating electronegative low-density lipoprotein.

The disclosure relates to a spinal intervertebral body fusion device including an adjustable spacer, a first and second pushing piece, and an operative piece. The adjustable spacer includes a first and second supporting plate. The first supporting plate portion is movably installed on the second supporting plate portion. The first and second supporting plate portions form a first and second opening respectively located at two opposite sides of the adjustable spacer. The first pushing piece located at the first opening and is partially clamped by the first and second supporting plate portions. The second pushing piece located at the second opening is partially clamped by the first and second supporting plate portions. The operative piece is movably disposed through the second pushing piece and screwed to the first pushing piece. The operative piece has an annular slot, and the second pushing piece is partially located in the annular slot.
摘要:
A method for ex vivo treating blood or plasma is provided. The method includes (a) ex vivo contacting a blood or plasma with an enzyme composition to react the enzyme composition with the blood or plasma, wherein the enzyme composition is capable of eliminating electronegative low-density lipoprotein from the blood or plasma by the activity of the enzyme composition, and the enzyme composition is selected from a group consisting of: a first enzyme for eliminating a glycan residue of an electronegative low-density lipoprotein (LDL); a second enzyme for eliminating ceramide carried by a electronegative low-density lipoprotein (LDL); and a combination thereof; and (b) terminating contact between the blood or plasma and the enzyme composition to terminate the reaction of the enzyme composition with the blood or plasma.
