Abstract: A method for activating only the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 has been created. The method comprises administration of a composition comprising a polypeptide to an animal wherein the composition has the ability to stimulate one or more lymphatic vessel endothelial cells to proliferate, differentiate, migrate, or survive. Methods are also provided to selectively activate a VEGF receptor-3, to screen for neoplastic disease characterized by an increase in lymph vessel endothelial cells, and to identify lymph vessel endothelial cells.
Patent CA-2408436-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FELD MICHAEL S
IPC: G01N21/47
Filed: 2001-06-08
Abstract: Radiation that propagates undeflected through a turbid medium, undergoes a small change in phase velocity due to its wave nature. This change can be measured using a differential phase optical interferometer. Ballistic propagation can be classified into three regimes: for scatterers small compared to the wavelength, the turbid medium acts as a bulk medium; for lar ge scatterers, phase velocity is independent of turbidity; and in the intermediate regime, the phase velocity is strongly dependent on scatterer radius. In particular, for scatterers having intermediate size, a phase velocity increase and negative dispersion is observed by adding positive dispersion scatterers of higher refractive index. These measurements are mad e using the phase difference between fundamental and harmonic light and can be  used to provide diagnostic information and images of tissues or biological fluids.
Patent CA-2409182-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LEE BONG-WAN
IPC: G01M11/02
Filed: 2002-02-07
Abstract: Cette invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé permettant de mesurer dans le cas d'un dispositif optique une perte d'insertion de valeur variable dépendant de l'état de polarisation d'une lumière incidente, c'est-à-dire une perte tributaire de la polarisation. Une lumière incidente qui est périodiquement soumise à tous les états de polarisation traverse un dispositif optique d'essai via un brouilleur de polarisation comprenant un modulateur à biréfringence à fibre optique, à élément piézo-électrique, cependant qu'un détecteur optique mesure l'intensité de lal lumière traversante et fait la moyenne des valeurs d'intensité mesurées en terme de modulation de la biréfringence avec préiode constante. On calcule ensuiite la perte dépendant de lal polarisation à partir du rapport entre la puissance maximum et la puissance minimum pour la période considérée. L'emploi d'un modulateur de biréfringence permet d'accélérer les mesures et d'atténuer l'effet d'une perturbation ext¤rieure sur la lumière incidente qui vient frapper lecomposant optique d'essai ou la probabilité de survenue d'une perturbation extérieure, de sorte qu'il est possible de mesurer avec précision la perte dépendant de la polarisation.
