Abstract:
The present invention provides carbohydrate encapsulated nanoparticles. In particular, the present invention provides metallic nanoparticles (e.g. gold nanoparticles) that are encapsulated in biologically important carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars, sugar derivatives, P-blood group antigens and analogues thereof. The present invention also provides methods of employing these carbohydrate encapsulated nanoparticles in diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods of modulating an immune response in an organism by administering medicinally active extracts and fractions, and a method for preparing the same by extracting and fractioning constituents from the tissue of components of Ganoderma lucidum.
Abstract:
The present invention provides medicinally active extracts and fractions, and a method for preparing the same by extracting and fractioning constituents from the tissue of components of Ganoderma lucidum. These active extracts and fractions are useful for inhibiting tumor growth, modulating immune response, and increasing hematopoietic activity.
Abstract:
A door lock mechanism includes a latch bolt actuating unit, an inner lever assembly, an outer lever assembly and at least two screw members. The latch bolt actuating unit is received in a lock bore of a door plank. In assembling, the inner lever assembly and the outer lever assembly connect with either side of the latch bolt actuating unit, respectively. One of the inner lever assembly and the outer lever assembly provides a reinforcing rose liner on which to provide at least two screw holes for screw-connection with the screw members. In installing operation, the screw members are engaged in the screw holes of the reinforcing liner, and then directly engaged on and slightly inserted into a surface of the door plank. Accordingly, the reinforcing liner securely mounts the lever assembly on the door plank when installed.
Abstract:
An unlocking device for the lever handle door lock includes an inner lever, an outer lever, an inner mounting plate, an outer mounting plate, a spindle, an inner actuating rod and an outer actuating rod. The inner mounting plate and the outer mounting plate mount the inner lever and the outer lever. Each of the inner lever and the outer lever has an assembling hole so that the inner lever and the outer lever are correspondingly connected to the inner actuating rod and the outer actuating rod for separately operating a latch bolt unit. The inner actuating rod has an end capable of disengaging from that of the outer actuating rod so as to avoid driving the inner actuating rod.
