Abstract: Préparation de gel contenant un sulfonate de polystyrène et permettant de traiter l'hyperkaliémie. On régule la granulométrie dudit sulfonate de polystyrène à l'intérieur d'une plage d'au moins 5 à 100  mu m et on contrôle sa viscosité avant gélification en ajoutant un épaississant, de façon à obtenir une dispersion homogène des grains de sulfonate de polystyrène. De préférence, la préparation contient des agents pouvant remplacer l'eau, ce qui diminue sa teneur en humidité. Comme la préparation de gel ne présente ni goût ni rugosité désagréable dus à ses principes actifs lorsqu'on l'introduit dans la cavité buccale, on peut la prendre sans eau. De plus, elle a une faible teneur en humidité, ce qui permet de surveiller facilement l'absorption d'eau même dans le cas de patients chez lesquels l'absorption d'eau doit être surveillée de près, tels que ceux atteints d'insuffisance rénale, et donc améliore considérablement leur qualité de vie.

Abstract: An adjustable-pitch sectional roof ridge vent formed as a one-piece, plastic, injection-molded body having an elongate top wall and a pair of opposed outer sidewalls depending outwardly and downwardly from peripheral longitudinal edges of the top wall. Each of the outer sidewalls has a lowermost edge, a plurality of ventilation openings, and an upturned flange projecting from the lowermost edge. The vent has a pair of opposed, integrally-formed end walls which depend from opposite ends of the top wall and which are each formed by a plurality of separate, spaced apart wall segments extending across the end of the top wall in substantially end-to-end single file alignment. Each pair of adjacent wall segments are spaced apart to form an open gap therebetween to enable ready flexing of the vent, and selected ones of the wall segments have an undulating configuration such that they interconnect to the top wall via a sinusoidal shaped juncture.

Abstract: Novel methods for designing humanized immunoglobulins having one or more complementarity determining regions (CDR's) from a donor immunoglobulin and a framework region from a human immunoglobulin comprising first comparing the framework or variable region amino acid sequence of the donor immunoglobulin to corresponding sequences in a collection of human immunoglobulin chains, and selecting as the human immunoglobulin one of the more homologous sequences from the collection. Each humanized immunoglobulin chain may comprise about 3 or more amino acids from the donor immunoglobulin in addition to the CDR's, usually at least one of which is immediately adjacent to a CDR in the donor immunoglobulin. The heavy and light chains may each be designed by using any one or all three additional position criteria. When combined into an intact antibody, the humanized immunoglobulins of the present invention will be substantially non-immunogenic in humans and retain substantially the same affinity as the donor immunoglobulin to the antigen, such as a protein or other compound containing an epitope.

Abstract: The utility of soybeans having a composition of greater than 40 % of the protein as beta-conglycinin and less than 10 % of the protein as glycinin for making highly functional high beta-conglycinin compositions was discovered. The discovered ingredients are useful for mimicking the texturizing properties of casein while also maintaining or improving physiological benefits of soy protein ingredients (e.g., cholesterol and triglyceride lowering properties). The high stability of the high beta-conglycin compositions against protein-protein aggregation reactions is valuable for creating good tasting beverages and beverage mixes. Cheese with good spreadability, gloss and smoothness was made using an enzyme-modified version of the new ingredient composition. Cheese with good firmness and meltability was also created using a different enzyme-treatment. High beta-conglycinin compositions were found to demonstrate excellent emulsifying and gelling properties in the pH region (5.5-6.2) relevant to meat applications. High beta-conglycinin compositions also have possible use for improving the composition of essential amino acids for infant humans and animals.
