Abstract: A continuous cast positive grid (22) of lead having substantially improved corrosion resistance and decreased growth in a positive plate (512) of a lead-acid battery (500) and a continuous cast negative grid (422) of lead having substantially increased tensile strength for a lead-acid battery (500). A web (24, 424) of lead is continuously cast with a series of succeeding grid blanks (26, 426) of uniform thickness which are cold worked to reduce the positive grid thickness by at least 3:1 and the negative grid thickness in the range of about 1.5:1 to 2.8:1 preferably by passing through the nip of each of a plurality of successive compression rollers (100, 102). Electrochemically active paste is applied to the reduced webs, preferably flash dried, and individual pastet grids are cut from the reduced and pasted webs to provide positive plates (512) and negative plates (514) for a lead-acid battery (500). The reduced positive grids have a microstructure with substantially smaller grains and a more uniform grain structure and the reduced positive and negative grids have substantially increased tensile strength after full age hardening compared to as cast continuous grids after full age hardening. <IMAGE>

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/EP97/00440 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 30, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 30, 1998 PCT Filed Jan. 31, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/28156 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 7, 1997The invention relates to pharmacologically active compounds that have the ability to influence the polymerisation and depolymerisation of tubulin. A range of natural mitosis toxins are used as anti-tumor agents or are in the process of being clinically tested. There are various classes of such mitosis toxins that either demonstrate their cytotoxic action by inhibiting the polymerisation of microtubules in the spindle system (for example, Vinca alkaloids, colchicine) or achieve their cytotoxic action by a GTP-independent increase in the polymerisation of the tubulin and by preventing the depolymerisation of microtubules (for example, taxol, taxoters). Owing to their physico-chemical properties, hitherto not understood, and as a result of the characteristics of neoplastic cells, mitosis toxins have a certain selectivity for tumor cells, but there still remains a not inconsiderable cytotoxicity towards non-transformed cells. The search for more selective compounds that are easier to manufacture and-like the taxane class of substances-are able to inhibit the depolymerisation of microtubules, had, surprisingly, led to the discovery of borneol esters, as described in P 4416374.6 and 19513040.5. Structural modifications in that class of compounds have revealed a considerable potential for optimisation in respect of the action on microtubules. Outstanding results have been obtained, inter alia, by formal esterification of those broneols with an acid of the Sk-H type. By synthesising the taxol derivatives described herein, in which the isoserine chain of the taxol has been replaced by Sk, the intention was to study whether it is also possible in that class of substances to achieve an improved stabilisation of microtubules, compared with taxol.

Abstract: This is a surgical device particularly a perfusion catheter having an inflatable membrane or balloon located at the distal end of the catheter shaft. The catheter shaft is comprised of an outer tubing assembly and an inner tubing assembly separated by an open annulus for inflating and deflating the inflatable membrane. The assembly may additionally comprise an inflatable membrane which is detachable. The outer tubing assembly is made up of at least one polymeric layer and a braid which may be polymeric or metallic, perhaps of a super-elastic alloy. At least a portion of the inner tubing assembly is made up of at least one polymeric layer and preferably, a super-elastic metallic braid. The inner tubing assembly includes a lumen through which a guidewire may pass. It is further desirable that the inner tubing assembly include a coil member which generally is coextensive with the balloon along its axis. That lumen is preferably lined with a lubricious polymer. The outer tubing assembly allows the profile of the catheter to be minimized and yet provides significant kink-resistance to the inner tubing assembly. The structure of the inner tubing assembly provides resistance to premature inflation during introduction of infusate through the inner lumen. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification of antibodies which are specific to human B7.1 antigen (CD80) and which are capable of inhibiting the binding of B7.1 to a CD28 receptor and which are not capable of inhibiting the binding of B7.1 to a CTLA-4 receptor. Two of these antibodies, 16C10 and 7C10, significantly inhibit the production of IL-2, in spite of the existence of a second activating ligand B7.2 (CD86). Blocking of the primary activation signal between CD28 and B7.1 (CD80) with these antibodies while allowing the unimpaired or coincident interaction of CTLA-4 and B7.1 and/or B7.2 represents a combined antagonistic effect on positive co-stimulation with an agonistic effect on negative signalling. These antibodies may be used as specific immunosuppressants, e.g., for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and to prevent organ transplant rejection.

Abstract: A method of treating a patient who lives in a relatively weak magnetic field such as is naturally present by using an oriented, unidirectional, DC magnetic field. The magnetic field is aligned to pass through the patient's body in substantially the same direction that the Earth's magnetic field did during the majority of recent cell division within the patient's body. The first step of the present invention is to determine what the orientation of the Earth's magnetic field has been with respect to the patient's body during cell division in the recent past. The next step is to position the patient's body within a treating magnetic field. The magnetic field is oriented to correspond to some extent to the direction of the Earth's magnetic field determined in the first step. The magnetic field is constrained to prevent fringing magnetic fields from passing through any part of the patient's body in an obtuse direction with respect to the direction of the Earth's magnetic field determined in the first step. The treating magnetic field has zero frequency and is at least 500 gauss in intensity at its weakest point within the portion of the patient's body to be treated.
