Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition for preventing or treating a respiratory disease containing an active ingredient in the form of a mixed herbal extract of Cnidii Rhizoma and Polygoni cuspidati Radix, and relates to a production method therefor. The mixed herbal extract of Cnidii Rhizoma and Polygoni cuspidati Radix has an outstanding 5-lipoxygenase suppressing activity, airway constriction suppressing activity, airway inflammation suppressing action, ear-swelling anti-inflammatory effect and antitussive and phlegm-loosening action, and has been confirmed to be useful in preventing or treating respiratory diseases including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute and chronic bronchitis, allergic rhinitis, cough, expectoration, acute lower respiratory infections (bronchitis and bronchiolitis), and acute upper respiratory infections such an pharyngitis, tonsillitis and laryngitis.
Abstract:
Imaging agents of formulas (I)-(V) and methods for detecting neurological disorders comprising administering to a patient in need compounds of formulas (I)-(V) capable of binding to tau proteins and β-amyloid peptides are presented herein. The invention also relates to methods of imaging Aβ and tau aggregates comprising introducing a detectable quantity of pharmaceutical formulation comprising a radiolabeled compound of formulas (I)-(V) and detecting the labeled compound associated with amyloid deposits and/or tau proteins in a patient. These methods and compositions enable preclinical diagnosis and monitoring progression of AD and other neurological disorders.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of making a polymeric porous separation membrane for a lithium ion polymer battery, the method comprising: providing a porous polyolefin membrane and a polymer solution of the concentration of 1–20 weight % in an organic solvent fabricated by dissolving in an organic solvent a polymer compound that is stable in an electrolyte containing a lithium salt and can be gelled in the electrolyte, at the temperature of 10–40° C.; and fabricating a polymeric porous separation membrane by coating the polymeric porous polyolefin membrane with the polymer solution. Thus, the porous separation membrane for a lithium ion polymer battery is fabricated by using the polymer solution fabricated at the low temperatures of 10–40° C., and the size of the pores of the coated is proper, so that the containing capacity of the electrolyte and the ion conductivity are good. Further gelling at low pressure is enabled and cohesive force to the electrodes is improved. In the lithium ion battery containing the porous separation membrane, the gelling is accomplished at atmospheric pressure or at low pressure for a few hours, so that problems caused by gelling for a short period at high pressure and high temperature such as the non uniform gelling of the battery, the deformation of the separation membrane and the weakened cohesion can be avoided. Moreover, the high-rate discharge, the cycle life becomes excellent.
Abstract:
A method and system for providing video-on-demand services are provided. The method of providing video-on-demand (VOD) services comprises transmitting service information to a set-top box via an out-of-band channel, receiving location and identification information of the set top box via the out-of-band channel, receiving a VOD service request from the set-top box via the out-of-band channel, and providing the set-top box with the requested content via an in-band channel with reference to the location and identification information of the set-top box.

Abstract:
A method for separation the collagen from the various animal tissues is disclosed for preparing collagen solution and product using the same. The porcine tissues are processed to have proper form and size for acid-treatment. The acid-treatment is repeated with pepsin to separate type I or II collagens. The separated collagen is salt-treated for fractionation and ethanol-treated for obtaining 5˜10% of collagen from the initial tissue weight. The prepared tissues are processed for separating collagen through the collagen separating process. The separated collagen is processed for preparing product. The method for preparing product is comprised: treating a collagen solution having a predetermined concentration under a neutral condition at a low temperature, followed by overnight treatment at a temperature of 30 to 35° C.; concentrating collagen by centrifugation; and dissolving the thus-concentrated collagen in refrigerated weakly-acidic solvent or phosphate buffered saline (PBS), thereby preparing collagen having a concentration of 1 to 5 mg/mL.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a cell using a pouch of aluminum multilayered film is disclosed. The pouch of an aluminum multilayered film is used as the outer case of the cell. The method includes: inserting an electrode assembly, which is composed of a negative electrode, separator, and positive electrode, in the pouch; sealing the electrode assembly; and bending the sealed portion of the cell once or twice. Therefore, the present invention can enhance the safety and energy density of the cell.
