Abstract: The invention is directed to medical devices having a drug-releasing coating and methods for making such coated devices. The coating permits timed or prolonged pharmacological activity on the surface of medical devices through a reservoir concept. Specifically, the coating comprises at least two layers: an outer layer containing at least one drug-ionic surfactant complex overlying a reservoir layer containing a polymer and the drug which is substantially free of an ionic surfactant. Upon exposure to body tissue of a medical device covered with such coating, the ionically bound drug in the outer layer is released into body fluid or tissue. Following release of such bound drug, the ionic surfactant binding sites in the outer layer are left vacant. To maintain the pharmacological activity after delivery of the ionically bound drug, additional amounts of the drug are embedded or incorporated in the reservoir layer in a manner which allows the drug, which is substantially free of ionic surfactants, to complex with the vacant binding sites of the ionic surfactant of the outer layer. As a result, the surface of the medical device is enriched with the drug to provide sustained pharmacological activity to prevent the adverse reaction due to the presence of the medical device. The invention is further directed to medical devices with stabilized drug-releasing coatings. The coatings are stabilized by exposure to a low energy, relatively non-penetrating energy source, e.g., gas plasma or an electron beam energy source.

Abstract: A yeast homologue of mammalian DNA ligase IV is provided and a role for DNA ligase IV established in the Ku-associated DNA repair pathway. Additionally interactions between DNA ligase IV and XRCC4, and interaction between XRCC4 and DNA-PKcs/Ku are established, providing for assays for agents which modulate such interactions and therefore cellular DNA repair activity. Such agents are useful in treatment of cancers, retroviral infections, immune system disorders and other conditions in which cellular DNA repair activity plays a role. Individuals with a predisposition to a disorder in which DNA repair plays a role may be diagnosed, by screening for the presence or absence of a defect in XRCC4 and/or DNA ligase IV activity.

The fluid flow carries away from the electrode surface(s) solid material and/or gas formed during the treatment. The fluid may be subjected to UV-irradiation simultaneously or sequentially with the electrolytic treatment. Contaminants present in the fluid may be broken down by the method and/or converted into solid materials which may be removed from the treated fluid by suitable means.

Abstract: A converter circuit arrangement having a DC intermediate circuit (3) includes a transformer (8) having at least two windings (9 and 10). This transformer (8) is connected in the intermediate circuit (3) such that the undesirable, unbalanced current components lead to magnetization of the transformer core and are thus reduced. A grounded LC filter (Lf, Cf) is connected upstream of the load (6) and produces a sinusoidal voltage across the load (6). In consequence, the circuit can be used with any desired rotating-field machines, and thus also for retrofitting existing systems.
