Abstract: Methods of assaying the presence of enzymatically active hydrolases (i.e., hydrolytic enzymes) in a sample or specimen are disclosed. In particular, a method of detecting candidiasis by assaying for the presence of enzymatically active aspartic protease in a sample is provided. In these methods, a sample or specimen is contacted with a solid support. The solid support with which the sample is contacted has a reporter enzyme (i.e., a signal generating enzyme) immobilized thereon. The reporter enzyme is immobilized on the solid support in a manner such that it is released from the solid support upon action of the enzymatically active hydrolase if the enzymatically active hydrolase is, in fact, present in the sample. The sample after having been contacted with the solid support is combined with an indicator. The indicator is any chemical species which is susceptible to a detectable change, usually a change in color, upon action of the reporter enzyme. A detectable change in the indicator is an indication that the enzymatically active hydrolase is present in the sample. Moreover, the presence of an enzymatically active hydrolase in a sample may indicate the presence of a particular pathogen or disease state such as, for example, candidiasis. In addition to the methods of assaying for the presence of enzymatically active aspartic protease and other hydrolytic enzymes, a dry, self-contained test device for assaying for the presence of an enzymatically active hydrolase in a sample is disclosed. In particular, a dry, self-contained test device for testing a sample for the presence of candidiasis by assaying for the presence of enzymatically active aspartic protease is also disclosed. These test devices combine a reporter enzyme immobilized on a solid support, an indicator, and all other reagents and components necessary to achieve a detectable indication of the presence or absence of the enzymatically active hydrolase whose presence is being detected in the sample, and preferred embodiments contain positive and negative controls as well.

Abstract: Described herein is a multi-functional polymeric material for use in inhibiting adhesion and immune recognition between cells and cells, cells and tissues, and tissues and tissues. One component of the polymeric material adsorbs well to cells or tissue, and the other component of the polymeric material does not adsorb well to tissues. A water-soluble polymer that does not bear charge (polynonion) is used as the non-binding component, and a water soluble polymer that is positively charged at physiological pH (polycation) is used as the tissue binding component. When the bi-functional polymeric material contacts a tissue, the tissue-binding component binds and thus immobilizes the attached non-binding component, which will then extend generally away from the tissue surface and sterically block the attachment of other tissues. The method and compositions are useful in inhibiting formation of post-surgical adhesions, protecting damaged blood vessels from thrombosis and restenosis, and decreasing the extent of metastasis of attachment-dependent tumor cells.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing an aromatic polycarbonate which comprises subjecting to a transesterification reaction in a polymerizer at least one polymerizable material selected from a molten monomer mixture of an aromatic dihydroxy compound and a diaryl carbonate, and a molten prepolymer obtained from the monomer mixture, wherein a liquid mass of polymerizable material being transesterified in the polymerizer has an exposed surface, and wherein the transesterification reaction of the liquid mass of polymerizable material is performed under reaction conditions such that the following formula (1) is satisfied: <MATH> wherein S represents an evaporation surface area (m<2>) which is defined as the area (m<2>) of the exposed surface of the liquid mass of polymerizable material; V represents the volume (m<3>) of the liquid mass of polymerizable material in the polymerizer; and Mn represents the number average molecular weight of the aromatic polycarbonate to be produced. As compared to the prior art method, this method is commercially advantageous not only in that a high quality aromatic polycarbonate having high heat resistance can be obtained at high polymerization rate without suffering discoloration, entry of impurities and generation of a thermal decomposition product, but also in that a very large motive power for agitation is not needed and a scale-up of the polycarbonate production can be easily achieved. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The prosthesis (1) comprises a metal shell-shaped carrier part (2) and a ceramic insert (3) which is mounted in a spherical chamber of the carrier part. The insert is held fast in the carrier part by means of a conical clamping system. The clamp face (6) of the insert runs at an angle to the clamp face (7) of the carrier part. The angle of the insert clamp face to the axis (8) of the prosthesis may be greater than the angle between the carrier part and the clamp face. This means that the insert may have a relatively small contact area (9) which can be varied by altering the angle of contact. The clamp face of the carrier part can be roughened to overcome deviations in the surface of the insert.
