Granted: 2018-03-27
Abstract: La protéine C activée (APC), un promédicament et/ou un variant de celle-ci peut être utilisée en tant qu'inhibiteur d'apoptose ou de mort cellulaire et/ou facteur de survie cellulaire, en particulier pour des cellules ou des tissus stressés ou lésés du système nerveux, notamment chez des sujets atteints de troubles neurodégénératifs. De nouvelles fonctions biologiques, (par exemple, une neuroprotection) peuvent être indépendantes ou séparées de l'inhibition de la coagulation ou de l'inflammation, ainsi que d'autres propriétés biologiques de l'APC (par exemple, l'activité antithrombotique, la capacité à réduire l'expression de gènes régulée par NFkB). On peut l'utiliser dans le traitement de maladies ou d'autres états pathologiques au moins par inhibition des voies de signalisation pro-apoptotique dépendant de p53 et/ou dépendant de la caspase-3 dans des cellules stressées ou lésées. Ainsi, des promédicaments et des variants de celles-ci (par exemple, des mutants de domaine de protéase d'APC ayant une activité anticoagulante réduite) sont des prototypes d'une classe d'agents permettant de prévenir l'apoptose ou la mort cellulaire et/ou de favoriser la survie cellulaire par une action directe sur les cellules du cerveau. De nouveaux variants de protéine C et/ou d'APC, présentant une activité anticoagulante réduite, peuvent ainsi être sélectionnés.

Granted: 2013-08-06
Abstract: The present invention provides a contact lens having an orientation/stabilization and optionally translation feature that does not provide an prism optical distortion and can effectively maintain a predetermined orientation of the lens on an eye. Like a conventional lens ballast, the orientation feature of the invention works by weighing the lens at its lower half portion, causing it to come to an equilibrium on the eye.  With such orientation feature, the optical zone of the anterior surface can be designed independently to provide an optimal visual performance.

Abstract: The Invention relates to a system for checking the position and/or dimensions of mechanical pieces. The system includes a contact detecting probe (4) with wireless transmission, for example by way of a single radiofrequency two-way communication link (14), with respect to a base station (10) connected to an interface unit (11). The probe includes a logic unit (36) and a memory unit (38) in which there reside the values of some operation parameters, for example the transmission frequency and/or the activation mode of the probe. The values of the operation parameters can be modified in a programming phase, according to a method that foresees the wireless transmission of control signals from a manually operated control device ¨ carried out, for example, in the interface unit ¨ to the probe, for giving the updating of the values among the selectable values of a sequence residing in the probe, and the acquisition of the current value. The generation of the former control signals is activated by manually operating keys of the interface unit on the basis of information regarding the parameter under consideration and its associated current value ¨ observable on a display, for example in the interface unit, information visualized on the basis of signals transmitted from the probe. The system allows the typical values of the operation parameters characteric at each probe to be modified in a simple, reliable and wireless controlled way.
