Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à un système de distribution de produits pharmaceutiques multiples, tels qu'une seringue (2) ou un applicateur topique de produits pharmaceutiques, qui est conçu pour distribuer simultanément un mélange (124) d'au moins deux produits pharmaceutiques mixtes (52, 120) en quantités et en proportions choisies, et qui comprend une partie principale (4, 180) ayant des premier et second réservoirs à volume variable (24, 26) contenant les premier et second liquides ou autres matières coulantes telles que crèmes et pommades. Les réservoirs sont reliés à une chambre collectrice de volume variable (31) par l'intermédiaire de clapets de retenue (28) qui permettent l'écoulement du liquide des réservoirs dans la chambre collectrice mais pas dans le sens inverse. Une tête de distribution, telle qu'un ensemble à aiguille (78) ou un ensemble à bec de vaporisation (196), est sélectivement couplée par communication fluide à la chambre collectrice par l'intermédiare d'un canal de sortie (106, 202) ménagé dans la partie principale. Une fois que les deux liquides ont été introduits dans la chambre collectrice, généralement un liquide à la fois, la tête de distribution est couplée par communication fluide à la chambre collectrice et le piston (30) est actionné, ce qui force le mélange des liquides à sortir de la chambre collectrice pour traverser le canal de sortie et passer par la tête de distribution pendant une injection ou autre application du mélange.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for culturing clinical Staphylococcus epidermidis cells that reproducibly enables identification of a limited number of predominant serotypes. Two predominant serotypes common to most clinical cases of S. epidermidis have been identified and are denoted Type I and Type II. A particular polysaccharide surface antigen is associated with each of the Type I and Type II serotypes. The surface antigens can be used to provide active and passive immunization against S. epidermidis infection and to produce a hyperimmune immunoglobulin or antibodies for treatment of S. epidermidis infection.

IPC: A23L5/20
Filed: 1993-07-02
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of lowering the nitrate content of plant material. During cultivation plants take up nitrate from the soil through the fertilisers present therein. The nitrate is stored in internal reservoirs such as, among others, the vacuoles, and during photosynthesis it is largely converted to, among others, amino acids and proteins. If, during cultivation there is little light, situations arise when nitrate is taken up but no longer converted, and this results in accumulation of nitrate in, inter alia, the vacuoles. The subject invention is directed at a method of lowering the nitrate content in plant material, characterised in that the plant material is subjected to a treatment with a gas mixture having a CO₂ content between 0.035 and 100 vol % and that the plant material is also exposed to light after measures have been taken to prevent the plant material from taking up sources of nitrate or nitrate formation.
