Title: Gene transfer into airway epithelial stem cell by using lentiviral vector pseudotyped with rna virus or dna virus spike protein
Inventor: HASEGAWA MAMORU
IPC: C12N5/074
Filed: 2006-10-27
Abstract: A gene is successfully transferred into airway epithelial stem cells by using a monkey immunodeficiency virus vector having been pseudotyped with Sendai virus envelope glycoproteins F and HN. This gene transfer into airway epithelial stem cells with the use of the vector as described above is useful in gene therapy for a hereditary respiratory disease such as cystic fibrosis.  Moreover, it becomes possible to select a respiratory organ such as the lung as a tissue that is capable of producing and supplying a protein deficient in a hereditary disease.

Abstract: An exercising perineometer apparatus (10, 170) for home or clinical use assesses the strength of pelvic floor muscles (18, 20) and provides visual and audible biofeedback signals (186, 190) as training aids during pelvic muscle exercises. Impedance signals (Z) proportional to pelvic muscle contraction forces are developed by a transducer sleeve (70) that is mounted on a shaft portion (46) of a pelvic probe assembly (10). A battery-powered RF transmitter module (164) contained within the probe assembly (10) transmits wireless feedback signals (176) to a hand-held monitor (170) that is equipped with an RF receiver (174), a visual display unit (186) and a piezoelectric speaker (190). The probe (10) reacts the pelvic contraction forces and thus provides a direct tactile feedback signal that is used in combination with the audible and visual feedback signals for improving the endurance and strength of pelvic muscles (18, 20).

Inventor: PILLAI SUNILKUMAR C
IPC: B29C48/05
Filed: 2006-07-21
Abstract: An extrudable mixture is provided for producing a highly porous substrate wherein fibers, such as organic, inorganic, glass, ceramic or metal fibers, are mixed into a mass that when extruded and cured forms a highly porous substrate. Depending on the particular mixture the present invention enables substrate porosities of about 60% to 90%. The extrudable mixture may use a wide variety of fibers and additives and is adaptable to a wide variety of operating environments. Fibers, which have an aspect ratio greater than 1, are mixed with binders, pore-formers, extrusion aids and fluid to form a homogeneous mass which is extruded into a green substrate. The more volatile material is removed from the green substrate allowing the fibers to interconnect. As curing continues, fiber to fiber bonds form to produce a structure having a substantially open pore network. The resulting porous substrate forms a filter, catalyst host or catalytic converter.

Abstract: A sensor system that provides an adjustable threshold level for the sensed quantity is described. The adjustable threshold allows the sensor to adjust to ambient conditions, aging of components, and other operational variations while still providing a relatively sensitive detection capability for hazardous conditions. The adjustable threshold sensor can operate for extended periods without maintenance or recalibration. A portable monitoring unit working in communication with the sensor system provides immediate communication of conditions detected by the sensors. The portable monitoring unit allows building or complex management to be in communication with a sensor system at all times without requiring someone to be physically present at a monitoring site. The portable monitoring unit can be equipped with an auditory device for alerting management or a screen for displaying pertinent information regarding an occurring situation so that management can quickly identify and resolve the problem. In addition, the portable monitoring unit can also be equipped with function keys that allow the portable monitoring unit to send instructions back to the sensor system. In one embodiment, the portable monitoring unit also includes a second transceiver for communications over a short wave radio frequency, or with a cellular phone system.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cold-gelling thixotropic glaze composition having a Brix value in the range of 20-65; containing at least 0.1 wt.% and less than 2.5 wt.% of low methoxylated-amidated (LMA) pectin; and containing at least 34 wt.% of water, said composition being characterised in that after it has been sheared sufficiently to become pourable, it forms a firm gel under quiescent conditions. The glaze composition according to the present invention exhibits significant shear thinning and subsequently forms a firm, non-sticky gel on standing. Thus, the present glaze composition can be made pourable by applying sufficient shear, e.g. by shaking and/or stirring it. The shear-thinned pourable glaze composition can be applied directly onto the surface of a food product, following which it will rapidly gel to produce a firm glaze.

Abstract: Eculizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against C5 that inhibits terminal complement activation, showed activity in a preliminary 12-week open-label trial in a small cohort of patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). The present study examined whether chronic eculizumab therapy could reduce intravascular hemolysis, stabilize hemoglobin levels, reduce transfusion requirements, and improve quality of life in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center global Phase III trial. It has been found that eculizumab stabilized hemoglobin levels, decreased the need for transfusions, and improved quality of life in PNH patients via reduced intravascular hemolysis. Chronic eculizumab treatment appears to be a safe and effective therapy for PNH.
