Abstract:
Biomarkers for liver diseases and method for using the same are provided. For detecting liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, the biomarkers are selected from any one of the amino acid sequences with SEQ ID NO:1 to SEQ ID NO:24 or derivatives or fragments or variants or the combination thereof or the antibodies against the amino acid sequences. Then the biomarkers are further developed into detection kits, such that by detecting the existence of autoantibodies or autoantigens in screened specimens, liver diseases are detected with higher accuracy and sensitivity.
Abstract translation:提供肝脏疾病的生物标志物及其使用方法。 为了检测肝硬化和肝癌,生物标志物选自SEQ ID NO:1至SEQ ID NO:24的任一氨基酸序列或衍生物或片段或变体或其组合或针对氨基酸序列的抗体 。 然后生物标志物进一步发展为检测试剂盒,通过检测筛选标本中自身抗体或自身抗原的存在,以更高的准确度和灵敏度检测肝脏疾病。
Abstract:
Disclosed is use of urine and serum biomarkers in diagnosing diabetic nephropathy, staging diabetic nephropathy, monitoring diabetic nephropathy progress, and assessing efficacy of diabetic nephropathy treatments. These biomarkers include urine precursor alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein, urine alpha-1 antitrypsin, urine alpha-1 acid glycoprotein, urine osteopontin, serum osteopontin, their fragments, and combinations thereof.
Abstract:
A digital photo frame with photographing function includes a digital frame, a lens module, a bracket, and a copy stand. The digital frame may further include a display module, a frame, a memory module, a control module, an input module, a power supply module, and a sense module. The display module is framed within the frame, and the lens module is disposed at a predetermined location on the frame. A paper photo can be disposed on the copy stand that is pivotally connected to the bracket. The input module can input a control signal to operate and control the lens module to copy photograph the paper photo into a digital photo and store the digital photo in the memory module and further display the digital photo on the display module.

Abstract:
A digital picture frame having a scanning function comprises a digital picture frame, a scanning module, and a universal supporting member, wherein the universal supporting member further comprises a fixing seat, a ball, a friction unit and a support. The fixing seat is a spherical cavity formed in the digital picture frame for receiving the ball therein. The ball has a through hole penetrating a center of the ball. The friction unit is provided between the fixing seat and the ball. The support has a connecting portion at an end thereof which keeps a predetermined included angle with the support, wherein the connecting portion is connected to the through hole of the ball via an opening formed on a back panel of the digital picture frame, and the friction unit generates a predetermined frictional resistance between the fixing seat and the ball connected with the support, so that the support can change a supporting angle between the support and the digital picture frame, thereby changing a viewing angle of the digital picture frame. Moreover, the scanning module can be used to scan a picture and generate a digital image thereof for display on a display module.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods of diagnosing myasthenia gravis in a subject, by determining an amount of at least one autoantibody that specifically binds one or more autoantigens selected from heat-shock protein 60 (hsp60), heat-shock protein 90, alpha isoform (hsp90α), and heat-shock protein 90, beta isoform (hsp90β). The invention also provides diagnostic kits for identifying a subject having myasthenia gravis.
