Abstract: Detecting excitotoxicity and neuronal stress in a subject comprises in vitro measurement of phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4), particularly PDE4B, or detecting the presence of a mutant form of the mRNA for PDE4B, particularly a form that lacks all or part of the 3'-non-coding region. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) Use of a compound (A) that inhibits or reduces expression or activity of PDE4B for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases; (2) Primers (B) containing 8-20 consecutive residues from the nucleotide region 2384-2869 of a murine PDE4B sequence (S1) or 2461-4068 of a human PDE4B sequence; and (3) Kits for analyzing expression of PDE4. ACTIVITY : Nootropic; Neuroprotective; Antiparkinsonian; Anticonvulsant; Cerebroprotective. Granular neurons from the cerebellum of rats were treated with N-methyl-D-aspartate (i) and serine or kainate (ii), to stimulate excititoxicity. When this treatment was carried out in presence of 50 M pentoxifylline, toxicity was reduced from about 40 to 20% in (i) and from about 30 to 10% in (ii). MECHANISM OF ACTION : Inhibiting expression or activity of PDE4B, which is present at elevated level in pathological nerve tissue.

Abstract: A power station for utilising the energy in a flow of water (3) flowing mainly horizontally. During operation, the power station is functioning by means of a rotor (2;16) completely or partly submerged and in form of a shaft (6;18) having a number of projecting blades (7;19) and disposed rotatably around a rotation axis mainly transversely to the flow direction. The power station comprises a blade guide (8;20) for each blade extending mainly radially and serving for displaceably accommodating the respective blade (7;19), and means for displacing the blade (7;19) in such a way in its blade guide (8;20) that its peripheral outer edge will describe an enveloping face (12;27) during every rotation of the rotor (2;16) said face having a minimum distance from the rotation axis (1;15) in an intersection line (28) between this face (12;27) and a symmetry plane (29) extending transversely to the direction of flow. Thereby, a simple structure is obtained that is able to optimally utilise the energy in a flow of water. The power station functions effectively in submerged state in a horizontally flowing flow of water (3) whether the flow is coming from one side or the other of the rotor (2;16).

Abstract: A shuttle embroidery loom produces numerous loose threads that arise from needle insertions distributed over the lower face of the cloth which rests against a needle plate. A shuttle (27) presents a rear thread (33) behind the plate, The shuttle is moved back alongside a pushrod (11). The rear thread cutting assembly (21) has a shuttle (35) that moves back and forth on a T-shaped track rod (20) alongside the pushrod (11). The shuttle (35) has a blade carrier (27) and cutting blade (41). The shuttle has a slip-interface (52) that simultaneously opens the upper driver (17) during the cutting movement, allowing removal of the shuttle (27). As the slide (35) moves, the rear thread (33) is picked up first by the leading edge (43) and slightly withdrawn from the shuttle (27) until it is cut by the knife edge (41). Enough thread then remains for the next stitch. A spacer (49) ensures that, after the loose thread end has been detached from the fabric, enough thread still remains for appliqu stitching.
