Abstract: A surgical method for preparing a site for implantation of a spinal implant into a disc space in which the disc space is first distracted by a novel stepped distractor, followed by insertion of a novel guide sleeve including a proximal portion having an uninterrupted side wall and a distal portion having a side wall defining a longitudinal opening extending along its entire length. The guide sleeve is seated adjacent the disc space with the longitudinal opening positioned opposite the dural region of the spine to provide a working channel to the disc space. A cutting tool is then inserted through the guide sleeve to remove tissue and bone laterally extending into the interior of the guide sleeve through the longitudinal opening, but only as much as necessary for passage of the spinal implant. In a further embodiment, a protective barrier, including a pair of overlapping, flexible leaf members, is operably attached to the inside surface of the guide sleeve and positioned across the longitudinal opening to separate the inner region of the guide sleeve from the outer surgical environment.

Abstract: On a découvert par des analyses d'empreintes quantitatives que des dérivés asymétriques de furamidines, dans lesquels l'un des cycles phényle du furamidine est remplacé par un benzimidazole, se fixent aux sites contenant des bases GC sur l'ADN, de façon beaucoup plus forte que sur des séquences AT pures. Ces composés ont révélé qu'ils se fixent dans la petite rainure de l'ADN au niveau de séquences contenant des bases GC spécifiques d'une manière hautement coopérative, sous la forme d'un dimère empilé. De tels composés trouvent une application dans la fixation sélective de séquences mixtes d'ADN et ils peuvent être utilisés dans des procédés de régulation de l'expression génique, dans des procédés de traitement des infections opportunistes et du cancer, ainsi que dans des procédés de détection de certaines séquences d'ADN.

Abstract: In separation of hydrocarbon mixtures (I) containing 6-8C aromatic compounds by extractive distillation with selective solvent (II), giving heavy hydrocarbons and most of (II) as sump product, which is distilled from (II) in another column, an aqueous solution is dispersed in the vapor, both phases of mist being condensed and the purified hydrocarbon phase and separated from the impure aqueous phase. Separation of hydrocarbon mixtures (I) containing 6-8 carbon (C) aromatic compounds involves extractive distillation with selective solvent(s) (II), in which (I) is passed to the middle and (II) to the upper zone of an extractive distillation column, light hydrocarbons are discharged at the top and heavy hydrocarbons and most of (II) are discharged as sump product; and distillation from (II) in another column, which operates separately from the extractive distillation column but is not necessarily a separate structure. The novel features are that an aqueous solution is dispersed in the product vapor from the top of the second column in a mixing zone and the resultant 2-phase vapor containing mist is passed directly into a condensation zone, where both phases are condensed; and the condensate emulsion is passed to a separation zone, in which the purified hydrocarbons in one liquid phase of the emulsion are separated from the aqueous phase containing dissolved impurities. An independent claim is also included for plant used.
