Title: Compositions de proteines fixant la decorine et procedes d'utilisation
Inventor: GUO BETTY P
IPC: G01N33/569
Filed: 1996-04-24
Abstract: La présente invention concerne le gène dbp et des segments, dérivés du dbp, d'acide nucléique provenant de Borrelia burgdorferi, l'agent étiologique de la maladie de Lyme, et des segments d'ADN codant le dbp provenant de borrelias voisins. L'invention concerne aussi des compositions de protéines fixant la décorine et des procédés d'utilisation. Il est envisagé d'utiliser la protéine DBP et des épitopes antigéniques qui en sont dérivés dans le traitement des infections pathologiques par Borrelia et, en particulier, dans la prévention de l'adhésion bactérienne à la décorine. Les segments d'ADN qui codent ces protéines et des anticorps anti-(protéines fixant la décorine) seront également utiles dans diverses applications de criblage, de diagnostic et de thérapeutique, notamment l'immunisation active et passive et les procédés de prévention de la colonisation par Borrelia chez un animal. Il est envisagé d'utiliser ces segments d'ADN et les peptides qui en sont dérivés dans la préparation de vaccins et, aussi, comme protéines vectrices dans les formulations de vaccins, ainsi que dans la formulation de compositions destinées à la prévention de la maladie de Lyme.

IPC: A61F9/00

Abstract: The subject invention relates to an intrastromal corneal insert designed to be meridionally situated in an interlamellar pocket or channel made within the cornea of a mammalian eye. The insert has a shape which, when inserted into the cornea, has a significant meridional dimension and may be used to adjust corneal curvature and thereby correct or improve vision abnormalities such as hyperopia. The inserts may also have a cirumferential component to their configuration to allow concurrent correction of other vision abnormalities. The radial insert may be made of a physiologically compatible material, e.g., one or more synthetic or natural, soft, firm, or gelatinous polymers. In addition, the insert or segment may be used to deliver therapeutic or diagnostic agents to the corneal interior or to the interior of the eye. One or more of the radial inserts of this invention typically are inserted into the cornea so that each subtends a portion of the meridian of the cornea outside of the cornea's central area, e.g., the area through which vision is achieved, but within the cornea's frontal diameter. Typically, the insert is used in arrays of two or more to correct specific visual abnormalities, but may be used in isolation when such is called for. The invention also includes both a minimally invasive procedure for inserting one or more of the devices into the cornea using procedures beginning within the cornea as well as procedures beginning in the sclera.

Title: Building kit of concrete moulded blocks for ground coverings
Inventor: HAGENAH GERHARD
IPC: E01C11/22
Filed: 1996-05-04
Abstract: To ensure environmentally sound removal of surface water from ground coverings assembled from paving stones (10) or the like, gutter-shaped moulded drainage blocks (19) are set along the edge. The surface water flows from the ground coverings in the form of lay-bys (11, 12) to the moulded drainage blocks (19) arranged with a gap between adjacent drainage blocks. The drainage blocks channel the surface water into a seepage surface which is trough shaped in cross-section, i.e. a median strip (16).

Abstract: The interconversion of inactive 11-keto steroids with their active 11 beta -hydroxy equivalents can be controlled by the use of inhibitors of the 11 beta -reductase enzyme, such as carbenoxolone (3 beta -(3-carboxypropionyloxy)-11-oxo-olean-2-en30-oic acid). Such inhibitors may be put to a number of therapeutic uses in humans and animals, for instance to inhibit hepatic gluconeogenesis, to lower intracellular cortisol concentration, to increase insulin sensitivity in adipose tissue and muscle, and to prevent or reduce neuronal loss/cognitive impaiment due to glucocorticoid potentiated neurotoxicity or neural dysfunction or damage.

Abstract: The inventions relate to the sphere of the laser technology, the fibre and integrated optics, and are industrially applicable in elements of the fibre and waveguide optics made of germanium silicate glass, particularly in fibre-optical Bragg gratings and long-spacing gratings, scattering compensators, integrated optical waveguides, etc. The objective of simplification of Raman fibre lasers emitting in the wavelengths of 1.24 mc and 1.48 mc and enhancement of the radiation conversion efficiency in Raman scattering is attained. A laser emitting in the wavelength of 1.24 mc comprises a pumping source (1), a fibre light guide (2) containing P2O5 in the amount from 1 to 30 mole %, portions of a fibre light guide that contain GeO2 in the amount from 11 to 39 mole % and are Bragg fibre-optical gratings (3) and (4), grating (3) forming a blank distributed reflector of an optical resonator for first Stokes component, and grating (4) - the output distributed reflector for the same resonator. First Stokes component is derived at the output. In a Raman fibre laser emitting in the wavelength of 1.48 mc second Stokes component is derived. A change in the refraction index in a portion of a fibre light guide (11) is achieved by directing to it a laser radiation (12) having a wavelength from 270 to 390 nm that passes through a protection polymer cladding of a fibre light guide (11).
