Abstract: A boom assembly for a delimber having an operator boom with first and second ends and a connector boom having first and second ends. Pivot means pivotably connect the second end of the operator boom to the first end of the connector boom, the connector boom aligned with the operator boom. A delimber boom, having a delimbing head at one end, is mounted near the one end to the connector boom at its second end. The delimber boom extends rearwardly from the connector boom and at a slight angle, when the boom assembly is viewed from above, to the connector boom.      The delimbing head is mounted on the bottom of the delimber boom and the boom assembly includes at least two butt plates, each movably mounted on the bottom of the delimber boom. The butt plates are spaced apart longitudinally and spaced from the delimbing head toward the other end of the delimber boom.      Operating means, associated with each butt plate on the delimber boom, selectively move the butt plate between an operative position where it is generally transverse to the delimber boom and aligned with the delimbing head to receive the butt end of a tree being delimbed by the delimbing head, and an inoperative position where it is out of the way of the butt end of a tree being delimbed.      The invention also covers a delimber using the delimbing boom, and a method of using the delimber.

Abstract: In consideration of that burning a PVC-based tape causes occurrence of dioxine, a nonhalogenated tape having physical properties and electric properties, which are comparable to a PVC-based tacking tape, and replaceable to the PVC-based tacking tape is desired. Simple replacement of PVC to a polyethylene -based synthetic resin causes a bad hand cutting performance. Hence, the composition of the synthetic resin composition is improved to have 100 weight parts of a polypropylene-based resin, 1 to 70 weight parts of a polyethylene -based resin, 1 to 200 weight parts of an inorganic filler with a range from 0.5 µ m to 10 µ m of an average grain size, and 0.1 to 50 weight parts of an compatibilizer to form a film. In addition, the film is drawn 1.05 to 3 times in an MD and thickness of the film is kept to 0.03 to 0.5 mm.

Title: Treatment with cytokines for alzheimer's disease
Inventor: CLERICI MARIO
IPC: C12Q1/6883
Filed: 2003-05-30
Granted: 2012-03-06
Abstract: An inflammatory process is suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the presence of neuritic plaques within the cerebral cortex that are mainly composed of a small insoluble protein of 40-42 aminoacids (amyloid protein).  The biological correlates of this process are nevertheless not clear.  Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a cytokine that suppresses T lymphocytes and cell-mediated immunity in humans and mice and has potent anti-inflammatory properties. To verify if IL-10 production would be impaired in AD patients we stimulated PBMC of 47 patients and 25 age-matched healthy controls (HC) with a mitogen, a recall antigen or with amyloid peptides. IL-2 production was measured as well in the same cultural conditions. Results showed that amyloid-specific IL-10 generation is selectively and significantly reduced in AD  patients (p= 0.023). Analyses on the alleles of the IL-10 gene revealed that the genotype associated with high IL-10 production is extremely infrequent in AD individuals (2% vs. 28%). The presence of low/intermediate~IL-10-producing genotypes (GCC/ATA; ATA/ATA) was associated with an earlier age at disease onset and (ACC/ACC; ACC/ATA) with an accelerated rate of disease progression.  These data shed light on the biology of the inflammatory process involved in the pathogenesis of AD by showing that the presence of low-IL-10-allelic isoforms results in an amyloid-specific impairment of IL-10 production and is associated with the clinical severity of AD. These results lend support to the use of anti-inflammatory compounds in the therapy of this disease.
