20150059488 | Film Adhesion Detection Device and Method Thereof - A film adhesion detection device comprises: a testing member, which comprises: a carrier, which is on the testing member and is capable of vacuum suction to adsorb a testing sample, the carrier can raise, move, rotate, and position; a testing cutting tool, which is on the testing member and is capable of dismantling from the testing member; a counterpoise, which is on the testing cutting tool to provide a suitable weight to the testing cutting tool according to the strength and thickness of the testing sample; and a tape adhesion testing device, which is on the testing member and has a tape-outputting wheel, a counterpoise and a tape recovery wheel, the tape adhesion testing device provides a suitable adhesion force to the testing sample via the counterpoise, the tape recovery wheel tears off a tape after the tape is on a film. | 03-05-2015 |
20140288078 | USE OF PHOSPHODIESTERASE INHIBITORS FOR TREATING MULTIDRUG RESISTANCE - The present invention relates to methods of treating multidrug resistance in cancerous cells with phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors, e.g., PDE5 inhibitors. More specifically, the invention relates to methods of treating multidrug resistance that arises, e.g., during administration of chemotherapeutic/antineoplastic (anticancer) agents for treatment of cancer, with a PDE5 inhibitor (e.g., sildenafil, vardenafil, and tadalafil). The invention also relates to methods of treating cancer, e.g., multidrug resistant cancer, using a PDE5 inhibitor in combination with an antineoplastic therapeutic agent. Further, the invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions for treating multidrug resistant cancers comprising a PDE5 inhibitor, or a combination of a PDE5 inhibitor and an antineoplastic agent. | 09-25-2014 |
