Abstract: A liquid drug delivery device is adapted to be adhered to the skin of a subject by a base member defining a skin-contacting surface having an adhesive coating. A columnar cartridge serves as reservoir for the drug and is incorporated in a housing which is connected to the base member such that in use the longitudinal axis of the cartridge is disposed substantially parallel to the skin-contacting surface. A delivery needle communicating in use with the interior of the cartridge penetrates the skin of the subject when the housing snaps downward relative to the base member. This action also causes the actuation of a citric acid/sodium bicarbonate gas generator which generates a gas to move a piston within the cartridge, compressing the drug compartment. This compression causes a stopper to be penetrated by a conduit in communication with the delivery needle, allowing the drug to be ejected from the compartment through the needle and into the subcutaneous tissue of the subject.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of gene therapy for inhibiting angiogenesis associated with solid tumor growth, tumor metastasis, inflammation, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, hemangiomas, diabetic retinopathy, angiofibromas, and macular degeneration Gene therapy methodology is disclosed for inhibition of primary tumor growth and metastasis by gene transfer of a nucleotide sequence encoding a soluble form of a VEGF tyrosine kinase receptor to a mammalian host. The transferred nucleotide sequence transcribes mRNA and a soluble receptor protein which binds to VEGF in extracellular regions adjacent to the primary tumor and vascular endothelial cells. Formation of a sVEGF-R/VEGF complex will prevent binding of VEGF to the KDR and FLT-1 tyrosine kinase receptors, antagonizing transduction of the normal intracellular signals associated with vascular endothelial cell-induced tumor angiogenesis. In addition, expression of a soluble receptor tyrosine kinase may also impart a therapeutic effect by binding either with or without VEGFs to form non-functional heterodimers with full-length VEGF-specific tyrosine kinase receptors and thereby inhibiting the mitogenic and angiogenic activities of VEGFs.

Abstract: A method of improving the boosted wordline compliance of a memory circuit. A wordline is grounded prior to boosting with a voltage greater than the circuit bias voltage (e.g. vdd) from a boost voltage generator. Grounding the wordline pulls the gate of a pass transistor to the bias voltage minus a threshold voltage and prepares the pass transistor to self-boost upon boosting the wordline. The transconductance of the pass transistor is improved, improving the charge transfer from the boost generator to the wordline, decreasing rise time. In another embodiment, an isolation transistor between the wordline select circuit and the pass transistor is boosted to provide additional pass transistor gate voltage.
