Abstract:
The present invention relates to matriptase antibodies and immunoconjugates of matriptase antibodies with cytotoxic agents and the use thereof for killing or inhibiting the growth of matriptase-expressing cancer cells, such as those of multiple myeloma and breast cancers. In particular, immunoconjugates comprising a matriptase monoclonal antibody and anticancer agents such as doxorubicin (DOX) are introduced, which are equipotent to anticancer agents used in free form but exhibit significantly reduced cardiotoxicity and almost no adverse effects on normal bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells that do not express matriptase. The present invention also provides compositions comprising these new immunoconjugates and use of them for treatment of malignancies comprising cells that express matriptase. In addition, administration of a matriptase antibody or immunoconjugates of a matriptase antibody and a cytotoxic agent in combination with administration of an immunomodulatory agent, such as thalidomide or an analog thereof, provides a more effective treatment of these cancers.
Abstract:
The invention discloses a method for implementing dual-homing, including: setting each one of any two core control equipment as a standby for each other, connecting a network entity belonging to one of the core control equipment with the two core control equipment through a primary link and a standby link respectively; setting the primary link connected with the core control equipment as activated, and setting the standby link connected with the core control equipment inactive; determining whether the core control equipment corresponding to the primary link is out of service, if the core control equipment corresponding to the primary link is out of service, activating the standby link; otherwise, continuously determining whether the core control equipment corresponding to the primary link is out of service. The invention also discloses another method for implementing dual-homing, by which the reliability of the network can be improved.
Abstract:
Provided herein are the biomarkers for predicting or monitoring the efficacy of a treatment for psoriasis.

Abstract:
The present invention discloses a voltage adjusting circuit including a first switch element, a second switch element, a third switch element, a fourth switch element, a fifth switch element, and a sixth switch element. At first, the voltage adjusting circuit performs a discharging operation on an output voltage toward a reference voltage source, and then when the output voltage level is approaching a voltage level of an input voltage source, the voltage adjusting circuit will perform the discharging operation on the output voltage toward the input voltage source instead, and thus the voltage adjusting circuit can avoid affecting the input voltage source when performing the discharging operation. In addition, the voltage adjusting circuit does not need a digital counter to perform the above dual-phase type discharging operation or multi-phase type discharging operation, and therefore cost of the voltage adjusting circuit is lower, and the voltage adjusting circuit has good accuracy.
