    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for predicting resistance to chemotherapy for ovarian cancer and uses thereof, and more particularly, as the expression of exosome-derived miR-214-3p in epithelial ovarian cancer patients increases, the expression of the target gene LHX6 is suppressed, malignancy of epithelial ovarian cancer and anticancer drug resistance are increased, the change in the expression level of miR-214-3p and LHX6 can be provided as a composition for predicting the prognosis of cancer malignancy and anticancer drug resistance in epithelial ovarian cancer patients, and as it was confirmed that apoptosis of epithelial ovarian cancer cells treated with miR-214-3p inhibitors increases and the anticancer drug resistance is regulated by the expression regulation of miR-214-3p and LHX6, the miR-214-3p inhibitor and the activator or expression promoter of LHX6 may be provided as an anti-cancer therapeutic agent or an anti-cancer drug sensitizer for epithelial ovarian cancer cells.

    Abstract: There is provided a fluid analysis chamber module that allows an analysis element to be replaced in a sliding manner. The module includes a middle body, an upper body, and a lower body, in which the upper body and the lower body are rotated to be in contact with an upper surface and a lower surface of the middle body and to release from the contact state. The middle body provides a chamber hole where a tray with the analysis element seated thereon can be mounted. The middle body is provided on its front end with a tray receiving opening through which the tray is mounted into the chamber hole. When the upper body and lower body are rotated to be in contact with the upper surface and the lower surface, respectively, the chamber hole is closed, a fluid supplying line and discharging line are sealed, pogo pins for power supply and signal transmission are contacted to electrodes of the analysis element.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polypeptide including an Fc variant produced by substituting a portion of the amino acid sequence of the Fc domain of a human antibody with a different amino acid sequence. The present invention also relates to an antibody including the polypeptide. The Fc variant can find application in a wide range of antibodies and Fc-fusion constructs. In one aspect, the antibody or Fc fusion construct of the present invention is a therapeutic, diagnostic or laboratory reagent, preferably a therapeutic reagent. The Fc variant is suitable for use in the treatment of cancer because its in vivo half-life can be maximized by optimization of the portion of the amino acid sequence. The antibody or Fc fusion construct of the present invention is used to kill target cells that bear a target antigen, for example cancer cells. Alternatively, the antibody or Fc fusion construct of the present invention is used to block, antagonize or agonize a target antigen. For example, the antibody or Fc fusion construct of the present invention may be used to antagonize a cytokine or a cytokine receptor.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a novel use of a sesquiterpene derivative, more particularly to a composition for preventing, improving or treating macular degeneration or macular edema caused by vascular leakage in the eye, the composition containing a sesquiterpene derivative compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 of the present disclosure or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient. Whereas the intraocular disease-related treating agents available in the market should be injected directly into the vitreous cavity, thus causing pain and side effects, the sesquiterpene derivative compound of the present disclosure is delivered to the target tissue (eye) via different administration routes (oral, intraperitoneal, etc.) other than the intravitreal route. Accordingly, the sesquiterpene derivative compound provides excellent therapeutic effect without being restricted by the administration routes.
