Abstract: The invention describes a process and devices by means of which the transport of fluid substances in or through the human skin can be improved over a defined period without any irreversible skin changes. According to the invention, heat and cold are alternately applied to closely adjacent and very small areas of the skin surfaces for equal periods in such a way that hot and cold regions border one another and are reversed in a predetermined time sequence. In addition to the alternating application of heat and cold, electric current and/or overpressure and/or underpressure may a lso be applied to the skin surface at defined time intervals. The devices described are intended for the non-invasive drawing off of body fluid and/or the injection of fluids and describe the application of thermo-contrast showers and cleaning devices.

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for retaining first (V1) and second vertebrae (V2) of a spinal column in a desired spatial relationship includes a longitudinal member (12) positionable along the spinal column. A member, such as a plate (30), connectable with the first vertebra has first (90) and second fastener openings (110) and a portion (80) engageable with the longitudinal member. A first fastener (38) extendable through the first fastener opening in the member has a first end portion for attachment to the first vertebra and has a longitudinal axis (92). A second fastener (40) extendable through the second fastener opening in the member has a first end portion for attachment to the first vertebra and has a longitudinal axis (114). The longitudinal axes of the first and second fasteners converge at an acute angle as viewed in a sagittal plane when the first and second fasteners connect the member with the first vertebra. The member connectable with the first vertebra has a body portion and has a lip portion (150) projecting from the body portion of the member. The lip portion of the member is engageable with a surface of the first vertebra facing toward the second vertebra.

Abstract: The present invention discloses that the normal melanogenic gene, gp75 gene, encodes a gene product, a 24 amino acid peptide of ORF3, which is processed to an antigenic cancer peptide recognized by T lymphocytes. The cancer peptide of the invention derived from ORF3 is recognized by cancer antigen specific T lymphocytes as a tumor rejection antigen. The present invention relates to the identification of a second tumor antigen recognized by an HLA-A31 restricted CTL clone derived from the TIL586 cell line. This antigen derived from the TRP-2 protein tumor antigen and peptides thereof are capable of sensitising target cells for lysis by a CTL clone at 1 nM peptide concentration. Modified peptides were also recognized by the CTL clone. The products of these genes are promising candidates for immunotherapeutic strategies for the treatment and diagnosis of patients with cancer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a chimeric target molecule having an activity which can be regulated or modulated by a binding molecule. The invention also relates to methods of using the chimeric target molecule to detect the presence and/or amount of a desired analyte in a sample. The analyte is a binding molecule, or a competitor of a binding molecule, which binding molecule, upon binding to the target molecule, alters the activity of the target molecule in a detectable way. In one aspect of the invention, a binding molecule binds to the chimeric molecule, inactivating it. An analyte in a test sample competes and/or displaces the binding molecule from the chimera, reactivating it. The reappearance of activity in the presence of the analyte indicates its existence in the test sample existence and amount. Another aspect of the invention relates to a binding molecule which regulates a chimeric target molecule and methods of producing it.

Abstract: The invention relates to an ultra-high purity gas generator system, such as a hydrogen gas generator system and method, which employs a direct current source to supply proportional electrical current to a cathode in an electrolyte cell. The system comprises a metal cathode gas generator for hydrogen gas and a DC current for the metal cathode, wherein the output DC line current is continuously modified by a control circuit, which modifies the pulse width into the DC source, based on the variation in hydrogen gas pressure or flow from the cell. In the system and method, direct current is supplied to the palladium or palladium alloy cathode of an electrolytic cell, and the direct current is controlled or switched by monitoring the gas flow or pressure in the cell by a pressure or flow transducer, providing the output voltage to a control circuit. The control circuit modulates the width of the pulses of a high frequency inverter and its modified and filtered output is supplied to the cell as a proportional, continuous straight line current source.

Abstract: A two-piece external incontinence device includes a first member, which attaches comfortably and reliably to the urethral meatus of a patient, and a second member. The first member may be secured to the patient's parameatal area by suitable medical grade adhesives. The second member has a first end, which is dimensioned to be mated with the first member, and a second end, which is dimensioned to be mated with a standard urinary drainage tube or a straight connector or other medical apparatus. Mating of the first member and the second member should be leak-free and reliable, but should insure that, when excessive force is applied by pulling on the standard urinary drainage tube, the first and second members separate to eliminate transference of the force to the patient. These mating pieces also allow intermittent internal catheterization without the loss of the parameatal seal.
