Abstract: This invention relates to genes which encode accessory molecule ligands and their use for immunomodulation, vaccination and treatments of various human diseases, including malignancies and autoimmune diseases. This invention also describes the use of accessory molecule ligands which are made up of various domains and subdomain portions of molecules derived from the tumor necrosis factor family. The chimeric molecules of this invention contain unique properties which lead to the stabilization of their activities and thus greater usefulness in the treatment of diseases. Vectors for expressing genes which encode the molecules of this invention are also discussed.

Abstract: Mdm2 binds to p53 in cells in which mdm2 is not overexpressed, i.e. in cells in which mdm2 is expressed at normal or low levels, and that in these cells, this interaction targets the p53 for degradation. This finding means that inhibiting mdm2 production and/or inhibiting the binding of mdm2 to p53 allows levels of p53 to increase by reducing the clearance of p53 by mdm2, and can be used to activate p53 function in cells other than those in which mdm2 is overexpressed. This allows the use of an agent having the property of disrupting the binding of p53 and mdm2 or inhibiting the production of mdm2 in a population of cells, in the preparation of a medicament for activating p53, wherein the population of cells do not overexpress mdm2. Such medicaments are useful in the treatment of conditions such as cancer, viral infections or conditions in which p53 or mdm2 is not functional.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for testing the integrity of oil delivery tubing within an oil well casing includes a rupture disc holder coupled with the tubing near the lower end thereof. As successive lengths of tubing are added, the assembled tubing is subjected to a test pressure with the pressure maintained by the presence of the rupture disc within the holder. When the tubing assembly is complete, it is subjected to a higher burst pressure sufficient to rupture the disc. This opens a passage through the holder for installation of the push-pull rod and for passage of oil from the pump, which is coupled with the tubing below the level of the holder.

Abstract: A decision support system for the selection of a diagnostic or therapeutic test or intervention, herein called studies, is supported by identifying a relative number of cases in which significant results were obtained in studies having the same indications. In particular, an ordering physician requests a study for a patient and specifies indications for the study, such as symptoms and a potential diagnosis. The number of studies performed, including those on other patients, for which results were significant for the same indications out of the total number of studies performed for the same indications is provided as feedback to the ordering physician. This feedback relates actual patient results to the appropriateness of the study. A decision support system in a health care information management system receives, from an ordering physician, an order for a study to be performed on a specified patient and indications for the study. The received indications for the selected study are used to access a database of result codes for previous studies having the same indications, including studies performed on other patients. A result of the comparison of the selected study and specified indications to the result codes database is then sent to the ordering physician. Decision support may be enhanced by using data extracted from existing scientific literature. In one embodiment, the decision support system is part of a health care management system that supports structured order entry for use by the ordering physician and a structured data entry module for entering result codes into the database.

Abstract: A first side stream (26) is heated in the main heat exchanger (30) upstream of its extraction point (28) at the first intermediate temperature. An Independent claim is included for corresponding plant to carry out the process. Preferred Features: Before heating, the first side stream is introduced into the cold end of the heat exchanger (30). A cooling air flow (23, 24) is cooled down in the main heat exchanger (30). It is extracted (24) at the cold end of the heat exchanger. It is re-supplied, at least in part, to the cold end of the main heat exchanger, as the first side stream (26). The cooling air flow (24), following extraction from the cold end of the heat exchanger is supplied to a phase separator, in a variant design. Further variants based on the foregoing principles are described. A turbine airflow (23, 25) is cooled in the main heat exchanger (30) to a further intermediate temperature, then expanded (36) to produce mechanical energy driving cold compression (29).

Abstract: The present invention relates, first, to methods for the synthesis of peptides, in particular T-20 (also referred to as "DP-178"; SEQ ID NO:1) and T-20-like peptides. Such methods utilize solid and liquid phase synthesis procedures to synthesize and combine groups of specific peptide fragments to yield the peptide of interest. The present invention further relates to individual peptide fragments which act as intermediates in the synthesis of the peptides of interest (e.g., T-20). The present invention still further relates to groups of such peptide intermediate fragments which can be utilized together to produce full length T-20 and T-20-like peptides.

Granted: 2006-09-20
Abstract: Cet accumulateur à plusieurs étages, comportant plusieurs modules accumulateurs (1) disposés dans un carter (2) à des intervalles prédéterminés, est pourvu d'un obstacle, un accumulateur fictif par exemple, au niveau de l'extrémité amont d'une veine d'air s'écoulant le long de la rangée des modules accumulateurs, de sorte qu'il peut se former une turbulence de flux. Ce courant turbulent introduit dans le carter augmente la transmission calorifique depuis les modules accumulateurs jusqu'aux zones situées en amont. La transmission calorifique dans la partie médiane de la veine d'air est, en outre, renforcée par la présence d'une entrée supplémentaire (7) par laquelle est introduit un fluide frigorigène. Il en résulte que la différence de température entre les modules accumulateurs placés dans le carter est réduite, cette structure simple permettant d'obtenir des accumulateurs à qualité et stabilité améliorées.

Abstract: A method of forming a socket on a pipe of thermoplastic material is disclosed. In the process, an end section of the pipe is heated in a heating station. Then, the pipe is transferred to a socket-forming station having a socket-forming mandrel. This is followed by the socket-forming mandrel being introduced into the pipe end section, heated to a suitable socket-forming temperature, and the end section being formed into a socket. Prior to the pipe end section being heated in the heating station, a support is introduced into the end section in order to internally support the end section. The support remains in the end section after the socket-forming mandrel is introduced into the pipe and in the process the support is pushed deeper into the pipe.
