Abstract: The present invention is directed to (R) and (S) 2-aryl-propionic acids of formula (I) (see formula I) wherein Ar is a substituted phenyl ring, and pharmaceutical compositions that contain them.  They are useful in inhibiting chemotactic activation of neutrophils (PMN  leukocytes) induced by the interaction of Interleukin-8 (IL-8) with CXCR1 and CXCR2 membrane receptors. The acids are used for the prevention and treatment of pathologies deriving from said activation. In particular, the (R) enantiomers of said acids are lacking cyclo-oxygenase inhibition activity and are particularly useful in the treatment of neutrofil-dependent pathologies such as psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, melanoma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bollous pemphigo, rheumatoid arthritis, idiopathic fibrosis, glomerulonephritis and in the prevention and treatment of damages caused by ischemia and reperfusion.

Abstract: A tubular prosthesis, which may be an endovascular prosthesis, is provided which includes a tubular member (12, 12A) (stent or stent/graft combination) and an outer covering (14) having portions sealed to the tubular member. The tubular member is impervious to a pre-determined fluid, particularly an occluding fluid, while the outer cover is pervious to the pre-determined fluid. In one aspect of the present invention, the implantation of the prosthesis allows for occluding fluid to weep from the prosthesis and into a sac of an aneurysm to cause occlusion thereof without introducing the occluding fluid into the blood stream. In this manner, a Type II failure of the prosthesis may be avoided. In other aspects of the invention, therapeuti c agents may be delivered and/or a seal may be formed about the prosthesis to prevent a Type I failure.
