Abstract: Il est possible de prévenir et de traiter les effets néfastes du temps sur la peau humaine (c.-à-d. le vieillissement de la peau humaine dû à l'âge) par l'application topique d'un rétinoïde, de préférence du rétinol. Il a été découvert que certaines voies (à savoir les voies activées par le stress, SAP) activées au cours du photovieillissement de la peau humaine (c.-à-d. le vieillissement cutané prématuré photo-induit) sont, de façon similaire, également élevées dans la peau de personnes âgées; il a également été découvert que d'autres voies (à savoir la voie ERK activée par mitogènes) sont faibles dans ladite peau. Le traitement de peau de personnes âgées à l'aide d'un rétinoïde permet d'inhiber la dégradation de collagène dermique et de favoriser la synthèse de procollagène. Des coupes de biopsies de peau de personnes âgées (plus de 80 ans) montrent qu'un seul traitement peut permettre d'accroître l'épaisseur de l'épiderme, d'améliorer la densité de collagène dermique, et d'activer la formation de fossettes de la couche de Malpighi et de papilles dermiques (voir fig. 3), et peut permettre de réduire la quantité de c-Jun et d'accroître les quantités de procollagène de type I et III (voir fig. 18). De tels avantages sont également utiles pour prévenir des contusions, dilacérations, et ulcérations de la peau de personnes âgées.

Abstract: B-Cell malignancies, such as the B-cell subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia, are significant contributors to cancer mortality. The response of B-cell malignancies to various forms of treatment is mixed. Traditional methods of treating B-cell malignancies, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, have limited utility due to toxic side effects. Immunotherapy with anti-CD20 antibodies have also provided limited success. The use of antibodies that bind with the CD22 antigen, however, provides an effective means to treat B-cell malignancies such as indolent and aggressive forms of B-cell lymphomas, and acute and chronic forms of lymphatic leukemias. Moreover, immunotherapy with anti-CD22 antibodies requires comparatively low doses of antibody protein, and can be used effectively in multimodal therapies.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for generating virtual files to provide more flexibility and efficiency in the sharing of data within a physical information file. In a computer system, a large physical file contains many separate data portions that need to be shared. In one case, the data portions can correspond to video and audio information of multi-media scenes. An application can need to jump within the physical file from scene to scene when composing user interactive multi-media applications, such as storybook applications. The present invention provides a mechanism allowing a user to define a virtual file containing certain data portions of the physical file. The user inputs an offset value representing a byte offset from the start of the data portion in the physical file and also the size of the data portion is input. The offset value, the size and the file name of the virtual file is recorded into an index file. This can be performed for a number of virtual files thereby constructing a number of index files. For each index file, the computer system then generates a file entry representing the virtual file. The file entry contains a file name of the virtual file and a physical location on disk of where the virtual file exists. The offset value is translated into a physical location for each virtual file. The operating system of the computer then accesses the virtual file in the conventional manner as any other disk file is accessed to efficiently access the associated data portion within the physical file.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif de circuit constitué de plusieurs éléments. Des bornes d'entrée (T1, T2) permettent de dériver un courant d'alimentation d'une source d'alimentation. Un générateur (I) permet de produire un signal de commande S. Un déclencheur (II) équipé d'un convertisseur, qui dispose d'au moins un élément de commutation (13) et d'un organe de commande (17), déclenche l'élément de commutation considéré à haute fréquence en fonction de la valeur du signal de commande S. Un générateur (III) délivre une tension Sc qui est une mesure de la valeur instantanée d'une tension d'alimentation fournie par la source d'alimentation. La tension Sc sert de signal de référence amenant le générateur I à fournir un signal de commande S qui se trouve alternativement dans une première plage et dans une seconde plage. Le déclencheur (II) provoque l'appel d'un courant d'alimentation (Iv1) relativement fort pour une valeur du signal de commande S se situant dans la première plage. Le déclencheur (II) provoque en outre l'appel d'un courant d'alimentation (Iv2) relativement faible pour une valeur du signal de commande S se situant dans la seconde plage. Des bornes de sortie (T3, T4) couplées au déclencheur (II) assurent la connexion avec une source de lumière (LI).
