Title: In vivo peptide therapy
Inventor: GRUBER HARRY E
IPC: A61K31/70
Filed: 1993-03-26
Abstract: Method for treatment of a patient having a normal level of activity of a naturally occurring protein, or having a condition characterized by the presence of an elevated or reduced level of that natural protein. The method includes administering to the patient nucleic acid which encodes an agonist or inhibitory polypeptide of the biological activity of the natural protein, or of a naturally occurring effector which affects the biological activity of that natural protein. The agonist or inhibitor is a polypeptide (i.e. an amino acid chain including at least 2 amino acids, and generally up to about 500 amino acids) expressed from the nucleic acid when that nucleic acid is present in the patient. This agonist and inhibitory polypeptide act in vivo to increase or reduce respectively the specific biological activity of the natural protein or the naturally occurring effector in the patient.
Patent CA-2134839-A1 (CA)
Title: Method for removing volatile organic compounds from latices
Inventor: CHEN SUN-LIN
IPC: C08F6/00
Filed: 1994-11-01
Abstract: A process for achieving a significant reduc-tion in the volatile organic compound content (VOC) of an aqueous polymerization system includes the steps of contacting the aqueous polymerization system with an organic solvent and allowing said organic solvent to be absorbed into polymer particles of said aqueous polymer-ization system, contacting said aqueous polymerization system and organic solvent with a gas  or vapor at temperature and pressure conditions which cause mass transfer of the volatile organic compounds from said latex into said gas or vapor phase, and separating said gas or vapor from said aqueous polymerization system. The  solvent  is generally absorbed into  the polymer particles of the latex and serves as a stripping aid, especially with  respect  to  higher  molecular  weight compounds which tend to remain trapped in the polymer particles during conventional stripping processes.  An important advantage of the invention is that it facili-tates  significantly  enhanced  VOC  reduction  using conventional stripping apparatus with only relatively minor modifications thereto.   The improved stripping performance of the invention is achieved without any significant deleterious effect on colloidal stability, average polymer particle size, solids content or other important latex properties.

Abstract: ANTIBACTERIAL COMPOSITE NON-WOVEN FABRIC         AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME               Abstract of the Disclosure Composite non-woven fabrics are disclosed.  The fabrics comprise at least a first ply that is an antibacterial fibrous web, and a second ply comprising a web of non-woven non-antibacterial fibers serving as a "base structure" providing strength and dimensional stability to the fabric.  Each ply adheres strongly to adjacent plies of the fabric by inter-entanglement of the fibers in the respective layers with each other, which defines an intensity gradient of antibacterial property across the thickness dimension of the fabric.          The fabrics can be made sufficiently soft and mild for skin contact, and have many uses such as in clothing, medical fabrics, sheets, and the like.  The fabrics have the same or a lesser amount of antibacterial fibers than prior-art non-woven antibacterial fabrics without adversely affecting strength, dimensional stability, or antibacterial efficacy.
