Inventor: FUJISHIRO KINYA
IPC: C12Q1/28
Filed: 1998-01-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the
quantitative determination of ascorbic acid in a sample
using ascorbate oxidase which catalyzes the reaction of
reduced form of ascorbic acid with oxygen to form oxidized
ascorbic acid and hydrogen peroxide (hereinafter the enzyme
is referred to as ASOD), wherein the reaction of reduced
ascorbic acid with oxygen in the presence of ASOD to form
oxidized ascorbic acid and hydrogen peroxide and the
reaction of the formed hydrogen peroxide with a chromogen
in the presence of peroxidase to form a pigment are carried
out in an aqueous medium in the same reaction system, and
then the formed pigment is determined. 
     The present invention also relates to a method for the
determination of total ascorbic acid, wherein the enzyme
reactions are carried out in the presence of a reducing agent
which is capable of converting oxidized ascorbic acid into
reduced ascorbic acid in said aqueous medium. The method
enables the determination of total ascorbic acid at a low
concentration. 
     The present invention further relates to a method for
the determination of total ascorbic acid, wherein oxidized
ascorbic acid in said sample is reduced by the use of a
reducing agent which is capable of converting oxidized
ascorbic acid into reduced ascorbic acid, and then the enzyme
reactions are carried out in the presence of a compound which
is capable of deactivating the reducing agent. 
     Furthermore, the present invention relates to a reagent
and a kit for the determination of ascorbic acid suitable
for use in the above methods. 
     The method of the present invention is a simple method
for the determination of ascorbic acid which is applicable 
to screening in clinical assays and which is capable of
analyzing a large number of samples at the same time.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une architecture de guide d'ondes à recouvrement à fibres comportant un côté poli, et un procédé permettant d'installer de façon non invasive un amplificateur optique, destinés à un système de télécommunications optique. Un guide d'ondes à recouvrement de 'canaux' est employé afin de maintenir, en vue d'une amplification, de l'énergie optique injectée de façon évanescente dans le guide d'ondes à recouvrement et provenant de la fibre optique à côté poli. L'un des deux procédés d'amplification suivants peut être utilisé: le premier comporte l'étape consistant à provoquer une émission stimulée à l'aide du guide d'ondes à recouvrement, et le deuxième a recours à une conversion de fréquence non linéaire de deuxième ordre pour abaisser la fréquence d'un signal de pompe de forte puissance à faible longueur d'onde dans le guide d'ondes, en vue d'amplifier l'énergie optique injectée dans ce dernier. L'amplification d'énergie optique dans le guide d'ondes à recouvrement de canaux peut être établie sur une seule longueur de battement constituée par le retrait et le retour évanescents de l'énergie optique vers la fibre optique à côté poli.

Title: Anticoagulant fusion protein anchored to cell membrane
Inventor: RIESBECK KRISTIAN
IPC: H04W4/00
Filed: 1998-03-26
Abstract: The invention relates to the inhibition of blood coagulation, especially during organ rejection, and in particular the inhibition of delayed vascular rejection.  The invention provides anticoagulant proteins which are anchored to cell membranes. The anticoagulant function is preferably provided by heparin, antithrombin, hirudin, TFPI, tick anticoagulant peptide, or a snake venom factor.  These anticoagulant proteins are preferably prevented from being constitutively expressed at the cell surface. In particular, expression at the cell-surface is regulated according to cell-activation, for instance by targeting the protein to a suitable secretory granule.  Expression of these proteins renders cells, tissues and organs less vulnerable to rejection after transplantation (eg. after xenotransplantation).

Abstract: The system includes a nail jig which is initially secured by means of fixing nails (38), after production of a stable three-point mounting of plates and legs extending from the nail jig, on the femur (10) in the vicinity of the condyles of the knee joint. The nail jig can then be removed from the femur (10), leaving the fixing nails (38) in the femoral bone. A saw jig (40) with the same basic shape as the nail jig and with identical holes for the fixing nails (28) can be placed on the fixing nails which were left in the femur (10). Precise allocation of boring pairs by both the nail and saw jig enables twist to be transferred to the artificial knee joint system at a ratio of 1:1 according to the predetermined size of the part of the femur to be implanted. In order to compensate for the incline in the frontal resection surface which is attached at a slant, the system is provided with a compensating wedge (46) which is inserted between the striking plate (32) and the lateral condyle (39'). The compensating wedge angle is similar to the angle of the horizontal resection surface in relation to the axis of the gap in the knee.
