摘要:
The present invention provides a method for restoring native chondrocyte phenotype and functions of, and/or increasing type II collagen as well as aggrecan mRNA expression levels and GAG accumulation level in dedifferentiated chondrocytes which have been subcultured and expanded in vitro, which comprising culturing the said dedifferentiated chondrocytes in vitro with a medium comprising type II collagen, or its biologically active peptide fragment(s) or analogs with or without growth factor(s), wherein the type II collagen or its biologically active peptide fragment(s) or analogs are effective to restore chondrocyte phenotype and functions of, and/or to increase type II collagen and aggrecan expression levels and GAG accumulation level in the said dedifferentiated chondrocytes.

The invention discloses a bone implant and a manufacturing method thereof. The manufacturing method of the bone implant comprises a step of coating or mixing type II collagen with at least one porous bone material comprising metals, bio-ceramics, natural biopolymers and synthetic polymers. Another manufacturing method of the bone implant comprises the steps of loading type II collagen with or without at least one porous bone material in a container, and lyophilizing the type II collagen to generate a type II collagen sponge construct with or without the porous bone material as the bone material. The manufactured bone implants are effective, with or without loading cells having differentiation tendency towards osteogenesis, to facilitate bone repair upon introduction of the bone implant into various osseous defects.

The invention discloses a method of accelerating osteogenic differentiation and a composition thereof. The method comprises a step of adding type II collagen into stem/progenitor cells or osteoblasts to accelerate the osteogenic differentiation of the added cells, and the composition comprises type II collagen, and stem/progenitor cells or osteoblasts. Type II collagen can accelerate osteogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) much faster than does type I collagen. The said composition is effective to facilitate bone repair upon introduction of the composition into various osseous defects.

摘要:
A method for modifying a thiol group is provided. The method includes: providing a first material containing at least one sulfhydryl group; providing a second material containing at least one thiourea group; and reacting the first material with the second material in the presence of copper (II) ions to quickly form a disulfide bond between the sulfhydryl group and the thiourea group, wherein the disulfide bond can be easily reduced.
摘要:
The invention develops a high-throughput screening method based on charcoal-sorbent peptide binding assay (CPBA) which does not need a solid phase and can simultaneously detect plural target biomolecules in a sample. The method of the invention can achieve high-throughput screening of biomolecules (such as antibodies and antigens) with a molecular weight of more than 10 KD.

摘要:
A tire monitoring and repairing device comprises a body having a front arm and a rear grip arm interconnected at their upper end with a connecting member to substantially form a U-shape. A pressure gauge is mounted in the front arm and a flash light device is mounted in the rear grip arm. The front arm further has a mouth piece projecting forward to form a pressure inlet. A tire repairing tool is detachably screwed to the mouth piece of the front arm. In addition, a tire tread ruler is provided in the rear grip arm.
