Provided is a method for isolating and proliferating autologous cancer antigen-specific CD8T cells, and more particularly, a method for selecting an epitope recognized by CD8T cells from autologous cancer antigens present in blood of individual cancer patients; and isolating autologous cancer antigen-specific CD8T cells by using a peptide of the selected epitope, and a method of massively proliferating CD8T cells by using the method. According to the present invention, it is possible to isolate autologous cancer antigen-specific CD8T cells by using the peptide of the CD8 T cell epitope of the autologous cancer antigen present in blood of individual cancer patients instead of a heterologous antigen. Therefore, by using T cells recognizing the autologous cancer antigen, it is possible to effectively select and eliminate cancer cells derived from the cancer patient's own cells. Thus, T cells can be applied to treatment and alleviation of cancer diseases without side effects.

An apparatus and a method for managing computing resources are disclosed. The apparatus for managing computing resources includes a task input interface configured to receive a plurality of processing-target tasks; a task processor configured to sequentially process the plurality of received processing-target tasks; and a duplicate device manager configured to generate one or more duplicate devices by duplicating the apparatus for managing computing resources based on at least one among a ratio of a number of unprocessed tasks to a number of processing-target tasks and the number of unprocessed tasks, and assign unprocessed tasks to the one or more generated duplicate devices.

Methods for isolating and proliferating autologous cancer antigen-specific CD8+T cells

According to endoscope manipulator for MIS capable of overcoming disadvantages of multiaxial endoscope manipulator including conventional robot arm and providing compact and light-weight structure to obtain maximum activity space for medical staff, multi-joint arm is configured so that movement of all joints from base link to tip link is manually locked-unlocked by user and not controlled by motors. Endoscope mounted on end of multi-joint arm is manipulated using motors to enable movement of three-degrees of freedom, thereby accomplishing compact and light-weight endoscope manipulator. Tube of endoscope can be press-fitted onto tip of multi-joint arm, and three-axis movement function for vertical, lateral and forward/backward conveyance of endoscope is implemented in tip of multi-joint arm. Since external manual joints are not moved during operation, disturbance or restriction to activities of medical staff can be minimized. One-click button function of readily and rapidly attaching/detaching endoscope to/from endoscope manipulator can increase convenience of use.

Provided is a surgical retractor capable of preventing an organ of a human body from being damaged when the organ of the human body positioned over a surgical area in the human body is lifted up. The surgical retractor includes a support body including a plurality of support members that are inserted below an organ of a human body which is positioned over a surgical area in the body of a patient to lift the organ of the human body in an upward direction, the plurality of support members being fastened to a joint, and a protective film member joined to the support body to cover a region between the support members, and configured to enclose and protect a lower surface of the organ of the human body.

Endoscope manipulator for MIS can overcome disadvantages of multiaxial endoscope manipulator including conventional robot arm and provide compact and lightweight structure to obtain maximum activity space for medical staff. According to the endoscope manipulator for MIS, multi-joint arm is configured so that movement of all of the joints from base link to tip link is manually locked and unlocked by user and not controlled by motors. Additionally, endoscope mounted on an end of multi-joint arm is manipulated using motors to enable movement of three degrees of freedom, thereby accomplishing compact and lightweight endoscope manipulator. Additionally, tube of endoscope can be press-fitted onto tip part of multi-joint arm, and triaxial movement function for vertical, horizontal and forward/backward conveyance of endoscope is implemented in the tip part of multi-joint arm. Therefore, since external manual joints are not moved during operation, Disturbance or restriction to activities of medical staff can be minimized.

A robotic surgical system includes a master manipulator, slave robotic units having a surgical instrument for performing a Minimal Invasive Surgery (MIS), and a control system for electrically associating the master manipulator with the slave robotic units. The slave robotic unit includes the driving mechanisms which are more compact than those of the conventional MIS system. In use, the existing surgical instruments used in the conventional MIS procedure can be applied to the slave robotic unit. Moreover, by using the pivotal mechanism of the driving mechanisms, a pivot point of the surgical instrument is allowed to be shifted with respect to an incision of a patient. So, the patient's tissues surrounding the surgical instrument are not excessively affected by the surgical instrument during the procedure.
