Inventor: JUAN CHUN-CHIA
IPC: A61B17/04
Filed: 2020-01-31
Granted: 2023-05-04
Abstract: An elongated deployment shaft carrying a needle deployment assembly with needles carrying sutures and a stabilizer. A catcher tube over the shaft having a catcher assembly at a distal end may retain a portion of the needles when passed through the tissue into engagement with catcher assembly. The catcher and needle deployment assemblies are configured to asynchronously engage the plurality of needles when moved distally beyond the catcher assembly. A sheath over the catcher tube may sandwich the tissue against the stabilizer when expanded. A first actuator may move catcher tube distally to decrease distance between proximal and distal ends of the stabilizer expand it and may move the sheath distally to sandwich the tissue. A second actuator may deflect the needles outward to move proximally through the tissue and engage the catcher and return a portion of each not retained by the catcher to a distal position.

composition for preventing or treating cancers, comprising the same. Specifically, the 
Bifidobacterium bifidum MG731 strain of the present invention has effects of inhibiting the 
proliferation of cancer cells, decreasing the mobility of cancer cells, inhibiting the 
neoangiogenesis, and increasing the anticancer immune response as well as reducing the 
expression of inflammatory factors, thereby having effects of preventing or treating cancers or 
inflammatory diseases. In addition, when used in combination with an anticancer 
chemotherapeutic agent or an anticancer immunotherapeutic agent, the Bifidobacterium 
bifidum MG731 strain of the present invention exhibits a better anticancer effect. In addition, 
the present invention relates to a novel Lactococcus lactis GEN3033 strain and a composition 
for preventing or treating cancers, comprising the same. Specifically, the Lactococcus lactis 
GEN3033 strain of the present invention exhibits effects of directly inhibiting the proliferation 
of cancer cells and enhancing immunity, thereby having effects of preventing or treating 
cancers. In particular, the strain has an excellent anticancer effect by secreting metabolites 
having an anticancer effect while being established in the gut. In addition, when used in 
combination with an anticancer chemotherapeutic agent or an anticancer immunotherapeutic

Abstract: A rotating passenger conveying system includes a central rotating column which drives a number of cabs to rotate about an axis. The cabs are also movable along the axis between a first and second floor. The central column rotates continuously, and the cabs are cyclically moved between the two floors. Passengers can enter a cab at one of the floors, and cab will then rotate to a movement zone. In the movement zone the cab will move to the other floor. The movement and flow of passengers in this system is continuous, and thus, the throughput of passengers in the rotating passenger conveying system is closer to an escalator system than to an elevator.
