Abstract: Hyperforin is the major lipophilic constituent of the medicinal plant St. John's wort
(Hypericum perforatum L.). Extracts of Hypericum perforatum are broadly used for
the treatment of depressive disorders and are unspecific inhibitors of the neuronal
uptake of several neurotransmitters. Previous studies have shown that hyperforin
represents the reuptake inhibiting constituent. 
     To characterize the mechanism of serotonin reuptake inhibition, kinetik analyses in
synaptosomes of mouse brain were performed. Michaelis-Menten kinetics revealed
that hyperforin (2µM) induced a decrease in V max  from 0,191 ± 0,034 pM/min/mg
protein to 0,083 ± 0,032 pM/min/mg protein without effecting K m , indicating non-competitive
inhibiting properties of the substance. Similar effects were seen on the
uptake systems of GABA and L-glutamate. By contrast, citalopram (1 nM), a
competitive inhibitor of serotonin uptake, leads to an elevation of K m  without changing
V max . Monensin a Na + /H + -exchanger substance showed the same properties (V max :
0,065 ± 0,009 pM/min/mg protein, K m : 14,72 ± 3,94 nM) as hyperforin. To further
compare the mechanism of action of hyperforin to classical antidepressants like
SSRI's and TCA's, the inhibition of  3 H-paroxetine binding (a selective marker of the
serotonin transporter) was studied. The correlation between IC 50 -values for specific
 3 H-paroxetine binding and for  3 H-serotonin uptake inhibition was significant for many
antidepressants but not for hyperforin or monensin. As monensin works by elevating
free intracellular Na +  we compared the effects of hyperforin and monensin on [Na + ] i -concentration
in platelets by measuring SBFI fluorescence. Both drugs elevated
[Na + ] i  from basal levels up to 69,0 ± 16,1 mM (50 µM hyperforin) and 140,0 ± 9,1 mM
(10 µM monensin) in the highest concentration investigated, while the SSRI
citalopram at concentrations relevant for  3 H-serotonin uptake inhibition had no effect
at all on [Na + ] i . Although the mode of action of hyperforin seems to be associated
with elevated free intracellular sodium similar to monensin, the biochemical
mechansim might be different, since maximal elevation of [Na + ] i  remained much
below the extracellular concentration. Elevating [Na + ] i  and resulting uptake inhibition
of the biogene amines and amino acid transmitters or any other neurotransmitter
could mean a new kind of method for the treatment of depressive disorders or other
psychiatric disorders.

Abstract: A rotation mechanism rotates
an annular rotation ring (4), two follower links (10,11) being
connected to the periphery of the rotation ring (4) in such a
way that they are free to rotate. The follower links (10,11)
act to provide coupled forces to rotate the rotation ring (4).
The central portion of a drive lever (16) is rotatably mounted
by an operating pin (21) on the end of an operating lever (17)
which rotates on an operating shaft (18). Two drive links (14,15),
each of which is connected at one end to a respective one
of the follower links (10,11), are joined by pins (19,20) to
either end of the drive lever (16) in such a way that they are
free to rotate. When the operating lever (17) is rotated, the
force is transmitted via the drive lever (16) and drive links
(14,15) to the follower links (10,11), which move simultaneously
to form a couple.

Abstract: An interleaved data cache array which is divided into two subarrays
is provided for utilization within a data processing system. Each
subarray includes a plurality of cache lines wherein each cache line
includes a selected block of data, a parity field, a content addressable
field containing a portion of an effective address (ECAM) for the
selected block of data, a second content addressable field contains a
real address (RCAM) for the selected block of data and a data status
field. Separate effective address ports (EA) and a real address port
(RA) permit parallel access to the cache without conflict in separate
subarrays and a subarray arbitration logic circuit is provided for
attempted simultaneous access of a single subarray by both the effective
address port (EA) and the real address port (RA). A normal word line is
provided and activated by either the effective address port or the real
address port through the subarray arbitration. An existing Real Address
(RA) cache snoop port is used to check whether a pre-fetching stream's
line access is a true cache hit or not. The snoop read access uses a
(33-bit) real address to access the data cache without occupying a data
port during testing of the pre-fetching stream hits. Therefore, the two
Effective Address (EA) accesses and a RCAM snoop access can access the
data cache simultaneously thereby increasing pre-fetching performance.

Abstract: A guide plate (19) which causes a heat exchanging medium
traveling along the laminating direction to advance straight toward the
communicating 'point at which the tank portions to which the heat
exchanging medium is moving and the corresponding passage portions
communicate with each other is provided. In a single-side tank type
laminated heat exchanger, a guide plate (19) is provided at the shifting area
over which an even-numbered pass shifts into an odd-numbered pass, to
cause the heat exchanging medium traveling along the laminating direction
to advance straight toward the communicating point at which the tank
portions in the odd-numbered pass communicate with the passage portions
in communication with the tank portions. The angle of inclination at the
guide plate (19) is set within the range of 5 ~ 65° relative to the laminating
direction, and the length of the inclined portion is set within the range of 1
~ 15mm. Thus, the extent of an uneven flow of heat exchanging medium
is minimized in the laminated heat exchanger in which the heat exchanging
medium flows from the tank portions into the passage portions after it
travels along the laminating directions through the tank portions which are
in communication with each other, to achieve an improvement in the heat
exchanging efficiency with the heat exchanging medium almost
completely evenly distributed to the individual tube elements. By forming
the guide plate in a curved shape or by providing a bead at the guide plate,
the guide plate is reinforced. In addition, by rounding the two shoulders of
the guide plate, the guide plate is prevented from vibrating.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for simplifying a mesh source M using a decimation step by edge fusion, and comprising a pseudo-optimisation step following said decimation step by ridge fusion, positioning the vertex resulting from said fusion so as to reduce the geometric deviation between said source mesh M and said simplified mesh M'. Advantageously, said step consists in counting the sharp edges around two vertices forming the edge to be merged, and in distinguishing between the two following situations: if the number of sharp edges are the same around two vertices, the vertex resulting from the fusion is set in the middle of the segment joining said vertices (42, 44); if the number of edges are different, the vertex resulting from the fusion is set on the vertex presenting the highest number of sharp edges (43, 45).
