Patent EP-1509621-A1 (EP)
Inventor: CLERICI MARIO
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2003-05-30
Abstract: An inflammatory process is suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the presence of neuritic plaques within the cerebral cortex that are mainly composed of a small insoluble protein of 40-42 aminoacids (amyloid protein). The biological correlates of this process are nevertheless not clear. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a cytokine that suppresses T lymphocytes and cell-mediated immunity in humans and mice and has potent anti-inflammatory properties. To verify if IL-10 production would be impaired in AD patients we stimulated PBMC of 47 patients and 25 age-matched healthy controls (HC) with a mitogen, a recall antigen or with amyloid peptides. IL-2 production was measured as well in the same cultural conditions. Results showed that amyloid-specific IL-10 generation is selectively and significantly reduced in AD patients (p= 0.023). Analyses on the alleles of the IL-10 gene revealed that the genotype associated with high IL-10 production is extremely infrequent in AD individuals (2% vs. 28%). The presence of low/intermediate­IL-10-producing genotypes (GCC/ATA; ATA/ATA) was associated with an earlier age at disease onset and (ACC/ACC; ACC/ATA) with an accelerated rate of disease progression. These data shed light on the biology of the inflammatory process involved in the pathogenesis of AD by showing that the presence of low-IL-10-allelic isoforms results in an amyloid-specific impairment of IL-10 production and is associated with the clinical severity of AD. These results lend support to the use of anti-inflammatory compounds in the therapy of this disease.

Abstract: A communications system that supports multimedia components is easily adapted to existing network elements. Voice components arriving at or coming from a user having multimedia capabilities are referred from a telephony server serving the user to a multimedia server. A determination is made as to whether the other party supports multimedia capabilities. If that determination is negative, the component is passed back to the telephony server with an indication that the session is coming from the multimedia server to avoid an infinite loop. If the determination is positive, a parallel multimedia component is established between the parties while the multimedia server remains aware of the bearer path.

Abstract: An insert system for an injection mold apparatus is provided. The mold has a mold cavity plate ( 14 ) and a mold core plate ( 12 ) each secured to mold bases ( 16, 18 ), relatively movable between open and closed positions, each having opposing faces, the faces meeting to define a mold cavity between the two faces. At least one of the mold plate faces defines a facial pocket ( 40 ) therein for insertion of a mold insert ( 30 ). The mold insert is secured to an insert rod ( 36 ). The mold plate having the facial pocket ( 40 ) defines a passageway ( 46 ) extending from the facial pocket through the plate ( 12 ) and mold base ( 16 ). The insert rod is insertable into the passageway to a position where the insert sits within said facial pocket at a prelock position, where said insert is only partially inserted into said facial pocket. Preferably, the insert is biased in this prelock position. Locking means ( 64, 66, 38, 70, 74, 76, 101, 63 A, 63 B) is operably connected to the insert rod ( 36 ), operable from the periphery of said mold base, to releasably lock the insert rod within said passage and, thus, the insert from said prelock position to a fully inserted position where the insert sits flush with the mold plate face.

Abstract: The surface of a lower disk of a turbine is lower than the surface of an upper disk. The lower disk has a smaller diameter than the upper disk and a diameter which is greater than or equal to the diameter of an annular space. A device for agitating a liquid in a reactor and injection of a gas into a liquid has a driving device above a receiver, with a vertical output axle with at least one movable device with axis flow immersed in the liquid, and a self-drawing turbine immersed in the reactor which can be driven by the output shaft. The output shaft is enclosed by a coaxial cylinder the lower end of which opens in the turbine and the upper end of which is connected in a sealed manner to the driving device. The cylinder is pierced with a hole for injecting gas in an annular space between the shaft and the cylinder. The turbine is made of two superimposed disks and an assembly of radial blades placed between the disks and fixed to them. The upper disk is pierced with a central hole into which fits the bottom end of the cylinder to describe an annular space between the cylinder and the edge of the hole by which liquid is drawn into the turbine. The gas-liquid dispersion expelled radially by the turbine is directed towards the axial flow device. The lower disk is at least partly hollow in the form of a ring. The axial flow moving device is a helix. An annular casing forms a deflector to send the gas- liquid dispersion ejected radially by the turbine to the axial flow moving device, pierced with two opposing central holes coaxial with the shaft. No additional agitator is placed on the output shaft below the axial flow device.
