Abstract: La présente invention concerne la différenciation myogénique in vivo de cellules précurseurs du muscle (MPC), issues du tissu conjonctif d'un modèle de régénération du muscle squelettique chez la souris. MPC a participé au processus de régénération par constance à long terme et contribution au compartiment des myonuclei et au groupe de cellules satellites fonctionnelles. Injectées dans des muscles dystrophiques d'une souris mdx immunosupprimée, les MPC humaines ont rétabli la dystrophine dans quelques fibres et contribué à l'expression du facteur de croissance spécifique du muscle chez la souris. De plus, les MPC humaines dérivées de la membrane synoviale ont été injectées dans le muscle du myocarde ayant subi l'infarctus. Les MPC greffées avec succès ont produit une prolifération et une différenciation qui ont conduit à un rétablissement et un maintien fonctionnels du muscle cardiaque. Les MPC représentent une source alternative de cellules myogéniques dans des approches thérapeutiques concernant la réparation du muscle squelettique ou cardiaque après la naissance.

Abstract: L'invention concerne de l'équol (7-hydroxy-3(4'hydroxyphényl)-chromane), la métabolite principale de la daidzéine phytoestrogène, se liant et bloquant de façon spécifique l'action hormonale de 5α-dihydrotestostérone (DHT) in vitro et in vivo. L'équol peut se lier à de la DHT libre circulante et la séquestrer du récepteur d'androgène, modifiant ainsi les réponses hormonales physiologiques et de croissance régulées par les androgènes. Ces données proposent un nouveau modèle d'explication des propriétés biologiques de l'équol. La signification de la capacité de l'équol à se lier et à séquestrer de façon spécifique la DHT du récepteur androgène possède d'importantes ramifications dans la santé et la maladie et peut indiquer une utilisation étendue et importante de l'équol dans le traitement et la prévention de pathologies d'origine androgénique. Ainsi, l'équol peut se lier de façon spécifique à la DHT et prévenir les actions biologiques de la DHT dans des traitements physiologiques et pathophysiologiques.

Abstract: A network fingerprinting component for a computerized
system issues network identifiers (NID) for computer networks.
Identity confidences may be determined for each issued network
identifier with respect to current computer networks. Computer
network attributes may include passive network attributes and
active network attributes. Retrieving values for active
network attributes involves generating network traffic. As a
result passive network attributes may be available to the
network fingerprinting component before active network
attributes. Learned identity confidence modifiers may be
applied to identity confidences determined independent of
active network attributes to achieve more accurate identity
confidence sooner. Better learned identity confidence
modifiers may be obtained by comparing identity confidences for
a particular computer network determined independently of
active network attributes with identity confidences for the
computer network determined once active network attributes
become available and then adjusting the learned identity
confidence modifiers so as to minimize any differences.

Abstract: A transmission system is provided utilizing multiple sets of dutch friction
elements (16,18), each engaged to transfer torque from a torque input, such as an engine,
to different gear ratios. The sets of dutch friction elements (16,18) are operated
simultaneously to provide a blended, gear ratio to a drivetrain (24). By varying the
engagement of the clutch elements (16,18), and thus the proportion of the torque
transferred to the gear ratio associated with each set of friction elements (16,18), an
intermediate, effective gear ratio is developed. This effective gear ratio can be
increased or decreased in response to external stimuli, such as vehicle and/or
engine sensors, by modifying the degree of engagement of each set of clutch
friction elements (16,18), and thus the proportion of torque transferred by each set of
elements to its associated gear ratio.
