Disclosed herein is a method of producing an optically active thiophene-based compound using a simulated moving bed adsorption separation process, and more specifically, a method of continuously separating a racemic thiophene-based compound into its optically active thiophene-based compounds having high purity, through optical resolution using the simulated moving bed process. According to the method of the current invention, a racemic mixture of a thiophene-based compound can be continuously separated into its optically active thiophene-based compounds having high purity, which is an intermediate of optically active dorzolamide acting as a topical therapeutic agent for glaucoma, using a simulated moving bed adsorption separation technique, thereby increasing industrial usability.

The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising histamine, immunoglobulin and allergen as active ingredients. Also, the present invention provides a kit for treating allergic diseases comprising the above active ingredients. The present invention also provides use of a composition comprising histamine, immunoglobulin and allergen as active ingredients for the manufacture of medicament for treating allergic diseases. Further, the present invention provides a method of treating allergic diseases which comprises administrating the pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of histamine, immunoglobulin and allergen to a mammal. Therefore, the allergic diseases can be significantly improved in the patients with refractory allergic diseases who could not be sufficiently improved by treatment with standard drug therapy or allergen-immunotherapy if the pharmaceutical composition, its use for treating allergic diseases, or the treating method using the above compositions of the present invention was applied.

A voltage boosting circuit of a semiconductor device is disclosed. The voltage boosting circuit includes a voltage detector, an active kicker controller, and an active kicker. The voltage detector generates a detection signal after the determining whether a potential of the signal to be boosted is higher than a boost voltage target level. The active kicker controller generates an active kicker control signal in response to the detection signal and the clock signal. The active kicker drives the signal to be boosted in response to the active kicker control signal. The voltage detector includes a current source, a number of switching devices, a current compensating circuit, and an inverter circuit. The current compensating circuit provides a compensating current proportional to a power supply voltage.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel endonuclease enzyme which is secreted from immune cell and recognizes bacterial DNA as foreign agent and processes it to produce about 10 bp single-stranded oligonucleotide including CpG motif which is involved in immune response. Also, the present invention relates to a process for producing the endonuclease which comprises culturing human B-lymphoblastic IM9 cell line or TPA-treated myelogenous U937 cell line on an appropriate medium to produce the said endonuclease and isolating the said endonuclease from the cell lysate or the culture medium. In addition, the present invention relates to an immune adjuvant comprising about 10 bp single-stranded oligonucleotide having CpG motif produced by treatment of bacterial DNA by the endonuclease.

摘要:
The present invention is based on the surprising discovery of autoantibodies to cytokeratin 18 protein in the serum samples of patients with bronchial asthma and chronic rhinitis, especially in nonallergic patients. The present invention includes diagnostic methods and a diagnostic kit to detect patients with bronchial asthma and chronic rhinitis associated with autoantibodies to cytokeratin 18. The invention also includes methods and kits to prescribe or monitor treatment for patients with bronchial asthma and chronic rhinitis by detecting autoantibodies to cytokeratin 18. The present invention also includes a pharmaceutical formulation comprising cytokeratin 18 protein to protect patients with bronchial asthma and chronic rhinitis associated with autoantibodies to cytokeratin 18. The present invention also includes methods to treat patients with bronchial asthma and chronic rhinitis associated with autoantibodies to cytokeratin 18 using compounds that inhibit the interaction between such autoantibodies and cytokeratin 18 protein.
