Inventor: GIRTEN BEVERLY E
IPC: C07K5/087
Filed: 1996-03-05
Abstract: The present invention relates to novel peptides that are potent cytokine regulatory agents. In addition, the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a cytokine regulatory agent. Administration of such a cytokine regulatory agent to a subject can enhance or restrain cytokine activity. Thus, the present invention provides a method of regulating cytokine activity in a subject having a condition characterized by aberrant or altered cytokine activity. The invention also provides methods of treating such conditions, including, for example, disuse deconditioning, diseases mediated by nitric oxide and cytokines, adverse drug reactions, obesity, septic shock, and adverse side effects due to cancer chemotherapy or occurring as in response to organ transplantation.

Abstract: A bed status information system for indicating to attending personnel the status of a patient bed includes bed condition input signal generators carried by the bed and coupled to operational elements on the bed, which have one or more monitorable conditions. The signal generators are operable to monitor a bed element condition and input signal indicative of the status of the monitored condition. An interface board on the bed processes the bed condition input signal and generates bed condition messages, which indicate the status of the monitored condition. A processing station remote from the bed is electrically coupled via a datalink to the interface board and is operable to receive the bed condition messages and indicate the status of the patient bed and its operational elements to attending personnel at a location remote from the bed, thereby eliminating the need for constant personnel attendance at the bed. The system is capable for monitoring a variety of different bed operational element systems, as well as providing a remote processing station and identification number for the bed, bed-type information, and a list of the operational capabilities of the bed.

Abstract: A synthetic material is disclosed, which is constituted by a copolymer of D, L-lactide and epsi-caprolactone (which itself is characterized by lower degradation times than those obtainable with copolymers of L-lactic acid and epsi-caprolactone), obtained by using as reaction control agent a sugar dianhyide with non-toxic characteristics. The use of suar dianhydrde in the reaction has a considerable control effect on the molecular weight of the copolymer and, thanks to its low molecular weight, this copolymer is characterized by extreraely short resorption times, in the order for the example of one or two months. The copolymer is used as covering clement to be placed around tendon sutures and/or nerve tracts with the aim of preventing formation of scarry adherences between the suture lines and the soft surrounding tissues.

Abstract: To control the sequence of cleaning a paper pulp of ink and other impurities, an assembly (30-33) separates the particles into fractions by size and has a channel for a continuous fluid feed. The measurement and process assembly has two channels or capillaries (10,11) into the separation unit to carry each fraction to a level where there is a transparent window for each. The window is illuminated (20), for two cameras (12,13) at each window which are synchronised with the lighting, to photograph the windows at regular intervals. The images are processed (23) to register the size and volume of the particles. An output leads to a sensor system to correct any variations or gives analogue or numerical signals to activate one or more units. Also claimed is an operation to give a constant measurement of the ink particles in the suspension in two different physical states. The larger particles are detected in the pulp and also paper fibres. The measurements are used to correct various parameters in the ink removal operation, and especially during pulping, hot titration and also the washing and flotation stages.
