Title: Container with venting closure assembly
Inventor: MENGEU GARY L
IPC: B65D51/16
Filed: 2007-02-14
Abstract: A container for a product which off-gases has a container body with a base wall, sidewall and a large mouth at its upper end bounded by a lip and having an outwardly extending shoulder adjacent the upper end of the sidewall, and a foil seal which extends over the mouth and is adhered to the lip. The foil seal having a valve therein permitting gases in the container body to exit therethrough. A cap having a top wall and a depending skirt with an internal peripheral snap bead abuts the shoulder on the sidewall of the container body. The top wall of the cap has a depending flexible ring seal bearing on the lip and the inside surface of the cap has channels extending downwardly along the inside surface of the skirt. Gas pressure in the container body will cause the valve in the foil seal to release gas from the interior of the container body into the space in the cap and the pressure of the gas in the ring seal is deflected from the lip to allow the gas to flow thereby and outwardly in the channels in the cap.

Title: Combination treatment for multiple sclerosis
Inventor: DE LUCA GIAMPIERO
IPC: C07K16/28
Filed: 2005-12-20
Abstract: This invention is directed towards treatments for multiple sclerosis comprising administering to a patient in need thereof a first agent, such as 2-chloro-2′-deoxyadenosine (2-CdA), that reduces the number of lymphocytes in combination with a second agent, such as an anti-alpha-4 integrin antibody, that blocks the adhesion of monocytes and leukocytes to endothelial cells.
