Title: Use of a cyclohexenone long-chain alcohol for treating neurodegenerative diseases
Inventor: SCHMITT GABY
IPC: C07C45/51
Filed: 2000-02-10
Abstract: A preventive and therapeutic drug for a neurodegenerative disease containing, as an active ingredient, a cyclohexenone long-chain alcohol compound represented by formula (1) wherein each of R1, R2, and R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; and X represents a C10-C28 alkylene group or alkenylene group. Since the compound of the present invention exhibits excellent neurite-extension ability and an inhibition effect on disorders caused by mutation in an SOD gene, it is useful as the active ingredient of a preventive and therapeutic drug for neurodegenerative diseases, inter alia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and as the active ingredient of an inhibitory drug for disorders caused by mutation in an SOD gene.

Abstract: Le principe du procédé et du système de mesure selon l'invention est de mesurer des champs électriques pour déterminer les caractéristiques électriques des phases dans un mélange multiphase constitutifs d'un flux de fluide dans un conduit. Cela intervient pour une partie de l'évaluation des fractions des phases. De plus, on utilise des signaux variant dans le temps provenant d'une paire au moins de détecteurs réagissant aux caractéristiques du fluide, et on a alors recours à une corrélation croisée permettant de déterminer l'une au moins des vitesses affectant le fluide du flux. En outre, on mesure une chute de pression au moins, de part et d'autre ou au voisinage d'un étranglement. En combinant les mesures des caractéristiques électriques aux mesures des chutes de pression, on arrive à déterminer les fractions de toutes les phases du flux. En combinaison avec les mesures de vitesse, on calcule les débits volumiques d'écoulement correspondant aux phases, et ensuite, en combinant cela avec les densités massiques des phases, on arrive à calculer le débit d'écoulement massique des phases.
