Abstract: The identification and characterization of risk factors and their molecular implications in the pathophysiology of human diseases such as cancer is essential for designing efficient diagnostic assays and therapeutic compounds. Estrogenic steroids, under normal physiological conditions, have been shown to play a critical function in several tissues. The response of such a variety of tissues to estrogen stimulation can explain in part its active role in the development and progression of different human diseases, particularly Breast Cancer. Searching for estrogen-responding cellular factors in parental cells of primary human breast carcinomas obtained from tumour biopsies an isoenzyme of putative Leucine Aminopeptidase (LAPase; EC 3.4.11.1) was idenditifed. Results have demonstrated that this marker is found to be elevated in the sera of women with invasive ductal and metastatic carcinomas. A monoclonal antibody against this cellular marker have been produced. This invention refers to the use of LAPase monoclonal antibodies for first line confimatory blood-based testing for Breast Cancer.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for calculating the concentration of a substance in blo od of a mammal. Blood from the mammal is passed through a dialyser having a semipermeable membrane and a dialysing fluid is passed at the other side of the membrane. The concentration of urea c d is measurod in the dialysabe emitted from the dialyser and the dialysate fluid flow rate Q d. A disturbance is introduced in the dialyser whereupon the effective dialysance K e of the dialyser is calculate d. Finally, the concentration of urea in blood is calculated by the formula c pw = c d .times. Q d/K e. By using the curve of urea concentration c d versus time in the dialysate, it is possible to calculate the initial mass m 0 of urea in the blood. Finally, the distribution volume V of urea in the body of said mammal is calculated according to the formula V = m 0/c pw.

Abstract: Different levels of security are provided in a security system so that users can decide the security level of their own communications. Users can choose a low level of security and maintain the security overhead as low as possible. Alternatively, they can choose higher levels of security with attendant increases in security overhead. The different levels of security are created by the use of one or more of two keys: an encryption key is used to encrypt plaintext data in a delta and a message authentication key is used to authenticate and insure integrity of the data. Two keys are used to avoid re-encrypting the encrypted data for each member of the telescape. In one embodiment, the security level is determined when a telespace is created and remains fixed through out the life of the telespace. For a telespace, the security level may range from no security at all to security between the members of the telespace and outsiders to security between pairs of members of the telespace. In another embodiment, subgroups called "tribes" can be formed within a telespace and each tribe adopts the security level of the telespace in which it resides.
