Title: Cosmetic method and composition for enhancing attractiveness
Inventor: LEE ROBERT STANLEY
IPC: A61K/
Filed: 2003-11-27
Abstract: Hair removal, especially from armpits damages skin, for example by irritating it, and this can be exacerbated by the application of antiperspirants to control body odour generation. In the present invention, the deleterious effects of hair removal, eg shaving, and antiperspirancy can be ameliorated by employing antiperspirant compositions containing a natural oil and glycerol to a combined concentration of from 1.5 to 15% by weight and in a weight ratio of from 4:1 to 1:4.

Abstract: A small, substantially spherical, free-flying utility platform for use in space can be docked, inspected and serviced in an apparatus including a container with a chamber therein mounted on the outside of a space vehicle or space station. A motorized closing mechanism drives a door to selectively open or close an opening of the container into the chamber, and another mechanism automatically latches and locks the door. The door operations can be automatically triggered as the platform breaks the beams of light beam devices arranged in the container. The proper positioning of the platform in the container can be detected by a photoelectric switch. Capture and docking of the platform is facilitated by sloping funnel-shaped interior walls of the container, and properly shaped cushions and/or a docking cradle.        When docked, the platform has its batteries recharged, its fuel tank refueled, and its electronics evaluated and diagnosed.

Title: Method of preparing a transgenic non-human animal expressing p25
Inventor: MCNEISH JOHN DOUGLAS
IPC: C12N15/12
Filed: 2000-02-03
Abstract: The invention provides transgenic, non-human animals and transgenic non-human mammalian cells harboring a transgene encoding a p25 (activator of the protein kinase cdk 5) polypeptide.   The two neuropathological lesions associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) are amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), composed predominantly of amyloid p peptides and hyperphosphorylated tau, respectively. While animal models for plaque formation exist, there is no animal model that recapitulates the formation of NFTs. This invention provides' transgenic mice that overexpress human p25, an activator of cdk5, resulting in tau that is hyperphosphorylated at AD-relevant epitopes.  Deposition of tau is detected in the amygdala, thalamus and cortex. Increased phosphorylated neurofilament, silver-positive neurons and neuronal death are also observed in these regions.  We conclude that the overexpression of p25, an activator of cdk5, is sufficient to produce hyperphosphorylation of tau and neuronal death. The p25 transgenic mouse represents the first model for tau pathology in AD.

Abstract: Des greffons de cellules embryonnaires allogéniques (SCT) peuvent produire des réactivités thérapeutiques du greffon contre la tumeur (Gvt) chez des patients atteints de malignités hématologiques. Cette réaction Gvt est principalement induite par des lymphocytes T de donneur allo-immuns spécifiques des antigènes mineurs d'histocompatibilité polymorphes (mHag). Parmi ceux-ci, on a découvert que le mHag HA se restreignait au système hématopoïétique. Nous présentons ici l'expression de HA-1 par des cellules tumorales non hématopoïétiques. Alors qu'elles sont absentes dans des cellules épithéliales normales, des cellules tumorales et des lignées de cellules tumorales en particulier d'origine épithéliale, expriment aussi HA-1 et sont reconnues par les lymphocytes T cytotoxiques HA-1. La présente invention concerne, notamment, des moyens et des techniques d'immunothérapie spécifiques de HA-1 destinés à des patients HA-1 positifs avec des cellules tumorales non hématopoïétiques.
