Filed: 1999-05-20
Abstract: A compound for targeted gene delivery is provided consisting of polyethylene glycol (PEG) grafted poly(L-lysine) (PLL) and a targeting moiety, wherein at least one free amino function of the PLL is substituted with the targeting moiety, and the grafted PLL contains at least 50% unsubstituted free amino function groups. TM is preferably lactose or galactose which are capable of specifically targeting a hepatoma cell or a liver cell. The new synthetic carriers with various substitution ratios of targeting moiety-PEG were characterized using NMR spectroscopy. The new polymeric gene carriers of this invention are capable of forming stable and soluble complexes with nucleic acids, which in turn are able to efficiently transform cells. PEG attached to the PLL gives better solubility properties to the gene/carrier complex and improved transfection efficiency without considerable cytotoxicity. Methods of preparing and using the targeting moiety-PEG-PLL as gene carriers to efficiently transfect cells are disclosed.

Inventor: MCQUINN ANDREW JAMES
IPC: A63B23/02
Filed: 2000-01-28
Abstract: An exercise device for exercising the back and abdomen under variable amounts of traction, has a backrest 4 which is hinged at the bottom via a pivot shaft 2. The device can have a second horizontal pivot shaft 1 which can be used to set the initial angle of a seat 12. Mechanical traction can be applied to the user via arm rests 7 which can apply a biassing force under the arm pits of the user to push the shoulders in a direction away from the horizontal pivot shaft 2. Springs 6 in the backrest 4 can apply the bias. In use, a user sits on seat 12, and the angle of the seat 12 is tilted backwards about horizontal pivot shaft 1 to invert the user to the required amount, so that a variable amount of additional traction can be applied through gravity also pulling on the back on the back of the user. Once this angle has been set, the user can then exercise the back and abdomen whilst in the required amount of traction by pivoting the backrest 4 about pivot shaft 2. A screw weight 10 can be used to counterbalance the user in the inverted position, or to provide an extra weight for the exercise. Extra weights 9 can also be added. The user can twist the back using a vertical pivot shaft 8 to exercise the obliques. Straps and leg hold 17 can secure the user.
