Inventor: SHAW PETER X
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 2000-10-26
Abstract: The invention provides a novel human Mab Fab, cloned by phage display, and its use in diagnostic and therapeutic methods. In particular the invention provides a method for analyzing the OxLDL components of atherosclerotic plaques in vivo and a means to determine their relative pathology. As the method is based on a human Fab rather than a mouse Mab, the progress or regression of the disease may be monitored over time. The antibody may also be used for the analysis of surgical or serum samples ex vivo for the prsence of OxLDL. The antibody may also be used to target therapeutic agents to the site of atherosclerotic plaques or may have use as a therapeutic agent itself.

Patent CA-2423342-A1 (CA)
Inventor: UNO TOMIO
IPC: G01F1/00
Filed: 2002-11-22
Abstract: Provided is an improved pressure-type flow rate control apparatus that can control the flow rate of a fluid with great precision using an empirical formula. The empirical formula can provide values that closely fit with the actual flow rates of a compressible fluid under non-critical conditions. The improved pressure-type flow rate control apparatus can control the flow rate of fluid passing through an orifice 4 to a target flow rate with accuracy and at a high speed. The empirical formula for the compressible fluid under non-critical conditions (sub-sonic) is expressed as Qc = KP2m(P1 - P2)n and the flow rate of fluid passing through orifice 4 is calculated by:      Qc = KP2m(P1 - P2)n (K is a proportional constant; and m and n are constants) so that the flow rate of fluid passing through the orifice 4 can be controlled to the target flow rate with high precision at a high speed. Also provided is an improved pressure-type flow rate control apparatus in which a pressure ratio P2/P1 = r, obtained from an upstream pressure P1 and a downstream pressure P2 is constantly compared with a critical value rc, and under critical conditions (r <= r c), the flow rate is calculated by Qc = KP1. Under non-critical conditions (r > r c), the flow rate is calculated by Qc =  KP2m(P1 - P2)n, so that the flow rate is controlled to the target flow rate with accuracy at a high speed depending upon the conditions of fluid.

Title: Method of preparing 3-[2-{(methylsulfonyl)oxy}ethoxy]-4-(triphenylmethoxy)-1-butanol, methane sulfonate
Inventor: CAILLE JEAN-CLAUDE
IPC: C07C309/66
Filed: 2001-10-30
Abstract: A method of producing (S)-3-[2-{(methylsulfonyl)oxy}ethoxy]-4-(triphenylmethoxy)-1-butanol methane sulfonate using 1,3-butadiene and a ketoethanal to form an intermediate racemic mixture. The racemic mixture is resolved to remove one isomer from the reaction product mixture. Following resolution, the following steps are performed: reduce the isomer to an alcohol, react the alcohol with triphenylmethyl chloride, ozonalyze the resulting reaction product, reduce the ozonalyzed product to yield a diol and react the diol with a methane sulfonyl compound to form (S)-3-[2-{(methylsulfonyl)oxy}ethoxy]-4-(triphenylmethoxy)-1-butanol methane sulfonate.  Alternatively, the racemic mixture may first be reduced and the resulting racemic alcohol mixture is resolved to isolate one isomer of the alcohol and the remaining process steps are followed.
