Abstract:
A pharmaceutical or health food includes rapamycin as an active ingredient, the pharmaceutical or health food being applied for prevention, improvement, and treatment of ototoxic hearing loss caused by an aminoglycoside-based antibiotic, sudden sensorineural hearing loss, and noise induced hearing loss. The pharmaceutical or health food is also applied to a pharmaceutical composite preparation of an aminoglycoside-based antibiotic and rapamycin, the pharmaceutical composite preparation reducing a side effect of the aminoglycoside-based antibiotic.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treating or preventing diseases caused by vascular permeability, containing imatinib, which has been conventionally used as an agent for treating chronic myeloid leukemia, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient, and a method for treating disease caused by vascular permeability using the composition. The pharmaceutical composition for treating or preventing diseases caused by vascular permeability of the present invention contains imatinib, which has been conventionally used as an agent for treating chronic myeloid leukemia, as an active ingredient, so as to provide a novel use of imatinib and to be able to effectively treat or prevent diseases caused by vascular permeability, and thus may be widely applied to develop a novel agent for treating diseases caused by vascular permeability.

Disclosed is a method for web service user authentication capable of increasing convenience while providing high security strength. The present invention has been made in an effort to provide a technique for conveniently performing user authentication by alleviating a user inconvenience of a memory of a password, storing a user password in a device which is carried by him/her at all times so as to use a powerful password, and using the password.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for predicting mobility based on relative mobile characteristics are disclosed herein. The method of predicting mobility based on relative mobile characteristics includes detecting, by each of a plurality of sensor nodes of a sensor network including the plurality of sensor nodes, a change in relative location with respect to an observed node; recording, by the each of the plurality of sensor nodes, information about the detected change in relative location; generating, by the each of the plurality of sensor nodes, a mathematical model for a possibility of approach of the observed node with respect to the each of the plurality of sensor nodes using the recorded relative location change information; and predicting probabilistically, by the each of the plurality of sensor nodes, whether the observed node will approach the each of the plurality of sensor nodes using the mathematical model.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising a material for inhibiting stem cell factor (SCF) or the receptor thereof for treating or preventing vascular permeability related diseases. Also, the present invention relates to a method for screening for an agent for treating vascular permeability related diseases, comprising the steps of: (a) treating a sample from a patient suspected of having a disease associated with vascular permeability with a candidate material; and (b) comparing the level of expression of the SCF or the receptor thereof with that of a control group. The present invention verifies SCF as a novel target for regulating vascular permeability. When the present invention is used, vascular permeability is decreased in diseases of the eye involving increased vascular permeability, thereby effectively treating or preventing vascular permeability related diseases. Also, vascular permeability can be effectively regulated using the composition. Further, the present invention can be provided as an effective means for screening an agent for treating vascular permeability related diseases by measuring the regulation of the expressions of SCF and c-Kit.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a coating method using particle alignment, including preparing a cohesive polymer substrate having a smooth surface; and coating the smooth surface of the cohesive polymer substrate with a plurality of particles while forming recesses respectively corresponding to the particles on the smooth surface of the cohesive polymer substrate by pressing the particles to the cohesive polymer substrate, so that binding properties between the particles and the cohesive polymer substrate are enhanced.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition for the diagnosis of Behcet's disease, comprising an agent for measuring the expression level of macrophage mannose receptor 1 (CD206), a kit for the diagnosis of Behcet's disease, and an information providing method using the same. According to the present invention, it is possible to diagnose the pathogenesis of Behcet's disease without being affected by symptoms of Behcet's disease or prescription drugs and differentially diagnose between active Behcet's disease and inactive Behcet's disease.
