    摘要: Methods for the production of purified, catalytically active, recombinant memapsin 2 have been developed. The substrate and subsite specificity of the catalytically active enzyme have been determined. The substrate and subsite specificity information was used to design substrate analogs of the natural memapsin 2 substrate that can inhibit the function of memapsin 2. The substrate analogs are based on peptide sequences, shown to be related to the natural peptide substrates for memapsin 2. The substrate analogs contain at least one analog of an amide bond which is not capable of being cleaved by memapsin 2. Processes for the synthesis of two substrate analogues including isosteres at the sites of the critical amino acid residues were developed and the substrate analogues, OMR99-1 and OM99-2, were synthesized. OM99-2 is based on an octapeptide Glu-Val-Asn-Leu-Ala-Ala-Glu-Phe (SEQ ID NO:28) with the Leu-Ala peptide bond substituted by a transition-state isostere hydroxyethylene group (FIG. 1). The inhibition constant of OM99-2 is 1.6×10−9 M against recombinant pro-memapsin 2. Crystallography of memapsin 2 bond to this inhibitor was used to determine the three dimensional structure of the protein, as well as the importance of the various residues in binding. This information can be used by those skilled in the art to design new inhibitors, using commercially available software programs and techniques familiar to those in organic chemistry and enzymology, to design new inhibitors to memapsin 2, useful in diagnostics and for the treatment and/or prevention of Alzheimer's disease.

    摘要: Feature processing is provided for lung nodules in computer-assisted diagnosis. A feature that may better distinguish nodules from background is extracted using a Hough transform. Rather than relying on a specific boundary shape, the Hough transform accumulates evidence associated with a region, such as a ring region. The accumulated evidence provides a feature score without requiring a nodule to fit a specific shape. In another approach, a background level is determined from extracted features. Rather than attempting to normalize an image prior to extraction, the features are normalized. The feature normalization and generalized Hough transform extraction may be used together or alone.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for automatically identifying and locating body parts in medical imaging. To automatically identify body parts of in an image, an identification and location algorithm is used. This establishes a reference frame in relation to the image. Then, a location of the head in relation to the frame is established. After upper and lower boundaries of the head are determined, a neck section of the image is identified. The neck section is identified using the lower boundary of the head section. The location of the neck section is then found. A thorax cage section is found and located positively below the neck section. The abdomen and pelvis are identified together and ultimately separately located and identified.

    摘要: An apparatus for adjusting the inclination of a chair back, is disposed on the chassis at the bottom of a cushion and pivotally coupled to the middle of a base at the upper end of chair legs. A control rod has its middle predetermined position pivotally coupled to the base. A positioning plate has a bolt at its top surface and is disposed at the rear end of the base. A resilient component is pivotally coupled such that one end of the resilient component is hooked into an end of the control rod, and the other end of the resilient component being hooked into the bolt at the top surface of the positioning plate. When the control rod is turned to swing its end, the resilient component rotates, so that one of the resilient legs of the resilient component produces an elastic push onto the positioning plate. Thus the positioning plate contracts and moves to embed into or withdrawal from a latch groove disposed at the bottom rear side of the chassis. Therefore, the pushing force of a spring can be acted completely on the positioning plate and the positioning plate can move smoother, making operation easier and simpler.
