Title: A hair styling appliance
Inventor: DARREN MATTHEW LEWIS
IPC: H05B6/62
Filed: 2021-05-27
Abstract: A hair styling appliance has electrodes 40, 41 and a drive unit 50. The drive unit is operable to determine the presence or absence of hair between the electrodes. In response to determining that hair is present, the drive unit applies an alternating voltage to the electrodes to heat the hair dielectrically. The presence of hair is preferably determined by sensing an electrical parameter indicative of the impedance of the electrodes. When the electrical parameter is above a set threshold and below an upper threshold heating may begin. A first alternative voltage may be applied to determine if hair is present, and if it is a second alternating voltage may be applied to heat the hair. A low-power mode may correspond to the first alternating voltage and a high-power mode may correspond to the second alternating voltage.

Title: Use of modified GLP-1 analogue dimers of different configurations and preparation method therefor in treating type 2 diabetes
Inventor: Song-shan Tang
IPC: C07K19/00
Filed: 2020-11-09
Abstract: Provided in the present invention is a use of novel GLP-1 fatty acid-modified or non-modified dimers of different configurations for a pancreas protecting or glucose reducing effect in treating type 2 diabetes. The dimers of the present invention are formed from a disulfide bond formed by means of cysteine oxidation in two same cysteine-containing GLP-1 monomers. An H-type GLP-1 homodimer of the present invention (having a disulfide bond formed inside the peptide chain), without reducing activity, markedly increases the glucose reduction duration of the GLP-1 dimer. The duration of activity of the provided GLP-1 analog dimer in vivo reaches 19 days, a marked extension relative to the in vivo activity of 3 days of positive control drug Liraglutide, or currently reported long-acting GLP-1 analogues, greatly advancing the technical progress of long-acting GLP-1 drugs and facilitating the clinical application and popularization thereof. Meanwhile, a U-type homodimer (having a disulfide bond formed at the C-terminus of the peptide chain) has no impact on blood glucose, but can clearly protect pancreas exocrine cells such as in acini and ducts.
