    摘要: This invention provides an all-in-one device for virus diagnosis, especially for a target nucleic acid sequence or target antigens or anitbodies in a single sample, comprising: a sample chamber for holding a cuvette with a UCNP-based assay and said sample; a NIR light source; a sensor for measuring fluorescence emission from a UCNP-based assay comprising a light-to-frequency converter; Optics providing an optical path ensuring only fluorescence emission from said UCNP-based assay reaches said sensor; and a microcontroller; wherein said UCNP-based assay is a system comprising UCNP surface modified with a first oligo probe and AuNP surface modified with a second oligo probe, wherein said first oligo probe and said second oligo probe are independently complimentary to separate segments on said target nucleic acid sequence that are nearby each other; or/and a system comprising ligand-free UCNP with electrostatic attraction to said target protein and AuNR surface modified with antibodies for said target protein.

    摘要: A spectacle lens can inhibit ametropia of the eyes and ensure full visibility. The spectacle lens comprises: first refraction areas and second refraction areas. Each first refraction area has a first refraction force that may be based on a prescription for correcting the ametropia of the eyes. Each second refraction area has a refraction force different from the first refraction force and may function to focus images on the positions except the retina of the eyes, to inhibit the development of the ametropia. Near the central part of the lens, the second refraction areas form a plurality of independent island-shaped areas, and the first refraction areas form the areas beyond the areas of the second refraction areas.

    摘要: A Beclin 1-targeting stapled peptide and a pharmaceutical composition. The stapled peptide includes an amino acid sequence at least 66.7% identical to amino acid residues 191-205 of Beclin 1, an amino acid residue E195 and an amino acid residue N202 in the stapled peptide are connected by a hydrocarbon staple to stabilize the α-helical structure of the stapled peptide. The hydrocarbon staple is located at a position in the stapled peptide closer to the Beclin1 coiled coil domain-stapled peptide binding interface, which can enhance the binding affinity of the stapled peptide to Beclin 1 by 10-30 fold. Compared to other autophagy inducers like rapamycin and Tat-Beclin 1 peptide, the optimized stapled peptide shows the unique profile of not only inducing autophagy but also significantly enhancing the endolysosomal degradation of cell surface oncogenic receptors EGFR and HER2 in HER2-positive cancer cells.
