A method is disclosed for electrically stimulating a cranial nerve, especially a vagus nerve, to treat or alleviate angina pectoris. Pain is lessened or prevented by application of predetermined therapeutic electrical signal to a selected location on the cranial nerve of a patient using an implanted neurostimulating device. Such method employs selective application of electrical signals to a predetermined location on the nerve to alter the activity of the nerve and cause dilation of a coronary artery in the patient, which in turn provides complete or partial relief of chest pain or deters the onset of such pain.

Methods and compositions for the treatment of fibrosing diseases are described. More specifically, the invention demonstrates that inhibiting or otherwise decreasing the activity of CCL21 either alone or in combination with CCL19 will be effective in reducing the presence of fibrotic lesions and ameliorating the symptoms of fibrosing disorders.

The present invention relates to a device for draining lymph into vein, which comprises: a storage chamber including a chamber wall, wherein a storage space formed by the chamber wall, and at least one first opening and a second opening are formed on the chamber wall; at least one osmosis membrane disposed at the first opening so that lymph can penetrate into the storage space, wherein the osmosis membrane is made of negative charged polymer molecules; a first conduit, of which one end connects to the storage space, and the other end connects with a vein so that the space can connect with the vein; and a pump provided in the storage chamber, wherein a negative pressure in the storage space is generated by the pump to drain lymph into the vein.

A steering device is configured such that an EA stopper and a telescopic lock tooth are engaged with each other such that an inner column and a fixation member move forward with respect to a hanger bracket in a case where a load in a forward direction that acts on the inner column is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. Regarding a telescopic stopper, the fixation member comes into contact with the telescopic stopper in accordance with movement of the inner column and the fixation member with respect to the hanger bracket such that the telescopic stopper rotates in a withdrawal direction in which the telescopic stopper is withdrawn from the fixation member.

The present invention relates to methods of alleviating pain with the administration of norketamine with a narcotic. More particularly, the invention provides a method of alleviating pain through the administration of a dose of norketamine, which, if administered alone would provide sub-optimal analgesic relief, yet provides analgesic relief when combined with a narcotic. In some embodiments, the combination of norketamine with a narcotic, further allows for the administration of a dose narcotic, which would be sub-optimal if used alone, but provides adequate pain relief in combination with norketamine. The invention relates to self-management of pain on an outpatient basis comprising administering via conventional routes, including transdermal, nasal, rectal, oral, transmucosal, intravenous, intramuscular, and other routes, one or more doses of norketamine/opioid compositions effective to alleviate pain to a subject suffering from pain. Uses of norketamine/opioid compositions would also apply, to treating headaches, drug abuse, mood and anxiety disorders, as well as other, neuropsychiatric disorders, both motoric and cognitive, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's syndrome, which are thought to be caused by neurodegeneration.

The present invention discloses a method and a device for adjusting a display picture to solve a problem in the prior art that when Greenish phenomenon of a liquid crystal display screen is alleviated, aperture ratio of the display panel is decreased so that power consumption of the screen is increased. The method for adjusting the display picture includes the steps of: receiving a first clock signal for controlling a data line voltage signal for a pixel of the first color in the display picture and receiving a second clock signal for controlling data line voltage signals for pixels of the other colors; and making a pulse width at high level of the first clock signal smaller than a high level pulse width of the second clock signal, wherein the first color is closer to green than other colors.

An upper frame swingable between an inclined posture and a substantially horizontal posture along a trajectory of movement of a four-bar linkage is held in the substantially horizontal posture by a simple operation when necessary. A front link mechanism control gives an external force for pushing down an operation member to thereby control a front link mechanism so as to displace the upper frame rearward while lowering a front side of the upper frame. Since a displacement direction for bringing the upper frame into the substantially horizontal posture and an operation direction for locking the front link mechanism or a rear link mechanism by the operation of the operation member are substantially the same direction, it is possible to perform two movements, the displacement movements to the substantially horizontal posture and the locking movements, only by operating the operation member in a predetermined direction.

A water-absorbing laminated protection film (1) including a hygroscopic resin layer 3 in which a desiccant is dispersed and a surface protection resin layer (5) provided on one surface of the hygroscopic resin layer (3). The surface protection resin layer (5) has a coefficient of moisture permeability of not more than 40 g/m²·day at 40° C. 90% RH, and the other surface of the hygroscopic resin layer (3) is a hygroscopically working surface (7).

A method of controlling a liquid ejecting apparatus including a liquid ejecting head having a supply portion, an ejecting portion, a discharge portion, and a filter portion dividing an internal passage within the head into an upstream passage communicating with the supply and discharge portions and a downstream passage communicating with the ejecting portion, and further including pumps respectively connected to the supply and discharge portions, and a control portion configured to control the pumps so as to satisfy P₁R₄+P₂R₃<P₃(R₃+R₄), and P₁−P₂>Q₁(R₃+R₄), during a maintenance operation to discharge a supplied liquid from the discharge portion through the upstream passage, wherein P₁: and P₂ are pressures at the respective supply and discharge portions during the maintenance operation, P₃ is a meniscus-withstanding pressure at the filter portion, R₃ is a liquid flow resistance in a passage from the supply portion to the filter portion, R₄ is a liquid flow resistance in a passage from the filter portion to the discharge portion, and Q₁ is a minimum amount of liquid supplied through the supply portion and discharged through the discharge portion, which minimum amount is required to discharge foreign matters existing in the upstream passage during the maintenance operation.

A cosmetic composition to prevent and/or ameliorate skin aging and applications thereof are provided in the present disclosure and the cosmetic composition comprises cyclic phosphatidic acid and citrus flavonoids which is hesperidin and/or hesperetin wherein the preventing and/or ameliorating skin aging include, without limitation, promoting moisture retention of stratum corneum, promoting skin elasticity, increasing presence or elasticity of collagens and elastins in fibroblasts, increasing transfers of fibroblasts, promoting anti-oxidation, increasing generation of hyaluronic acid, alleviating wrinkles and skin textures, moderating melanin, reducing skin oil and preventing transepidermal water losses.
