Abstract: Novel conjugates of glycosaminoglycans, particularly heparin and dermatan sulfate, and amine containing species and therapeutic uses thereof are described. In particular, mild methods of conjugating heparins to proteins, such as antithrombin III and heparin cofactor II, which provide covalent conjugates which retain maximal biological activity are described. Uses of these conjugates to prevent thrombogenesis, in particular in lung airways, such as found in infant and adult respiratory distress syndrome are also described.

Abstract: A container is made in two stages from material such as thermoplastics that is deformable when heated. In the first stage a preform (1) is injection moulded, the mould parts easily releasing a tubular body (2) with a closed end. In the second stage the still heated preform (1) is blow moulded, possibly with some preliminary mechanical stretching, the blow pin being applied to the open end. The closed end of the body is stretched over a multi-part section (7, 8) of the mould which shapes the base of the container into an indent with an undercut formation, the cross section being generally omega-shaped. The multi-part mould section has a central tapered core (8) surrounded by an array of segments (7), the core (8) being fully inserted to spread the segments (7) for moulding, and being retracted to allow the segments (7) to close up and release the container after moulding. The divisions (12) between segments (7) produce ribs in the indent which provide added strength.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for quantifying cholesterol in HDL, which does not require complex fragmentation and separation operations, and by which the HDL cholesterol in test samples containing HDL and other lipoproteins such as low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and chylomicron (CM) may be quantified selectively, simply and accurately. The method for quantifying cholesterol in high density lipoprotein comprises a first step of erasing cholesterol in lipoproteins other than high density lipoprotein in a test sample, and a second step of adding a surfactant which specifically acts on high density lipoprotein to the product of the first step and enzymatically quantifying cholesterol in high density lipoprotein.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for generating a signal amplitude behaving according to a desired function and to a converter implementing the method. In the method, a function that is used for controlling the behaviour of a signal amplitude is piecewise linearized to provide straight lines; a slope and a constant term of each straight line is stored in a memory (202 and 203); and a midpoint of each straight line is shifted to form an origin in a common coordinate system. Variable data (213) is used as address data, which is divided into an MSB (207) and an LSB part (208). The MSB part (207) is used for addressing from the memory (202 and 203) the slope and the constant term of the straight line. The LSB part (208) functions as a variable of a common coordinate system of the straight lines. The amplitude is generated by summing in a summer (205) a product determined by the slope and the LSB part to the constant term, the product being generated in means (204) as a selected summing of arithmetically shifted, masked and complemented slopes controlled by the LSB part.
