Abstract:
A manufacturing method of a circuit board structure includes steps of: providing a circuit board which comprising a metal substrate, a metal layer and a dielectric layer disposed between the metal substrate and the metal layer; forming grooves on the circuit board to expose the metal substrate, the dielectric layer and the metal layer; performing a procedure for connecting metal in the grooves so that the metal substrate and the metal layer being in contact with each other. A structure of circuit board comprises a metal substrate, a dielectric layer and a metal layer. The dielectric layer is formed on the metal substrate, and the metal layer is formed on the dielectric layer; wherein the metal substrate and the metal layer can be in contact with each other at an appropriate position by performing a metal connecting procedure.
Abstract:
Compositions and methods for imaging and for chemotherapy and radiotherapy are disclosed. More particularly, the invention concerns agents comprising a targeting moeity comprising a beta-adrenergic receptor targeting compound conjugated or embedded with ethylenediamine. The present invention also concerns methods of application of such agents for imaging and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, and kits for preparing a radiolabeled therapeutic or diagnostic agent.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions are provided for assessing, treating, and preventing diseases, especially cancer, using cancer-associated targets (“CAT”). Methods and compositions are also provided for determining or predicting the effectiveness of a treatment for these diseases or for selecting a treatment, using CAT. Methods and compositions are further provided for modulating cell function using CAT. Also provided are compositions that modulate CAT (e.g., antagonists or agonists), such as antibodies, proteins, small molecule compounds, and nucleic acid agents (e.g., RNAi and antisense agents), as well as pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Further provided are methods of screening for agents that modulate CAT, and agents identified by these screening methods.

Abstract:
The current disclosure, in one embodiment, includes a polysaccharide conjugate. This conjugate has a polysaccharide and at least one monomeric amino acid having an O-group covalently bound to the polysaccharide. The conjugate also has at least one metal conjugated by the O-group of the amino acid. According to another embodiment, the disclosure provides a method of synthesizing a polysaccharide conjugate by covalently bonding a monomeric amino acid having an O-group to a polysaccharide and by conjugating a metal to the O-group to form a polysaccharide conjugate. According to a third embodiment, the disclosure relates to a method of killing a cancer cell by administering to the cell an effective amount of a polysaccharide conjugate. This conjugate has a polysaccharide and at least one monomeric amino acid having an O-group covalently bound to the polysaccharide. The conjugate also has at least one metal conjugated by the O-group of the amino acid.
