Title: Microrna regulating the insulin signaling pathway, and method for screening material for controlling the action of a target thereof
Inventor: KIM VIC NARRY
IPC: G01N33/15
Filed: 2009-12-02
Abstract: The present invention relates to a miRNA regulating the insulin signaling pathway, and to a method for screening a material for controlling the action of a target gene thereof, and particularly, to a method for screening a material for controlling the action of USH or FOG2, a target gene of miR-8 or miR-200 miRNA for promoting cell growth. The present inventors discovered miR-8, a conserved miRNA for regulating the body of a fruit fly by targeting u-shaped material (USH) in the fat cells of Drosophila. It was also confirmed that a target gene of miR-200, a human homologous gene of Drosophila miR-8 miRNA, is FOG2. It was found that Drosophila miR-8 and USH are also conserved in mammals, and FOG2, a human homologous gene of USH, directly binds to a regulating subunit of PI3K and functions. It was confirmed that when the expression of miR-200 is inhibited or FOG2 is expressed in a human cancer cell line, the activity of P13K, which promotes cell growth, is decreased. Therefore, miR-200 and FOG2 may be useful in screening regulators of insulin signaling pathways.

Title: Plasmids and methods for peptide display and affinity-selection on virus-like particles of rna bacteriophages
Inventor: PEABODY DAVID S
IPC: C12N7/01
Filed: 2010-12-31
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for controlling peptide display valency on virus-like particles (VLPs), especially including MS2 VLPs. In this method, large amounts of wild-type and low quantities of single-chain dimer coat proteins may be produced from a single RNA. Valency is controlled in immunogen (vaccine) production by providing a system that allows the production of large amounts of wild-type and low quantities of single-chain dimer coating proteins from a single RNA, allowing facile adjustment of display valency levels on VLPs, especially MS2 VLPS over a wide range, from few than one-on average—to as many as ninety per particle. This facilitates the production of immunogens and vaccines, including VLPs exhibiting low valency. Nucleic acid constructs useful in the expression of virus-like particles are disclosed, comprised of a coat polypeptide of MS2 modified by insertion of a heterologous peptide, wherein the heterologous peptide is displayed on the virus-like particle and encapsidates MS2 niRNA. Nucleic acid constructs are also disclosed which are useful in the expression of virus-like particles comprised of a coat polypeptide of PP7 modified by insertion of a heterologous peptide, wherein the heterologous peptide is displayed on the virus-like particle and encapsidates PP7 mRNA.

Title: Correction fluid dispenser.
Inventor: TROTTA ROBERT A
IPC: B43K5/16
Filed: 1982-10-27
Abstract: A correction fluid dispenser comprising a body member (2) adapted to retain correction fluid, a barrel member (12) received by the body member (2), a core portion (24) extending axially of the body (2) and barrel (12) members, and tip seal member (34) disposed in a recess (28) in the core portion (24) and spring biased toward an orifice (38) in the barrel member (12) to block the orifice (38) and prevent flow of fluid therethrough when not in use. The tip seal member (34) being retractable against the spring bias to permit fluid flow through the orifice (38) when in use. The above arrangement requires a strong spring bias to block the orifice (38) when not in use. However, the strong spring bias is difficult to overcome when in use. Inadvertent actuation could also occur with the above structure. The solution to the above problem is to enable the body (2) and barrel (12) members to move the core portion (24) relative to the tip seal member (34) until contact, and thereby the tip seal member (34), into the orifice (38) in blocking, non-retractable position.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing semiconductor devices comprises a step which thermally oxidizes semiconductor substrates (1), (12), to form first and second oxide films (24), (25) on one main surface and on another main surface thereof; a step for selectively implanting impurity ions via said first oxide film (24) to form elements in said semiconductor substrates (1), (12); a step for successively forming a film (30) that constitutes a source of impurity diffusion and a protector film (31) on said second oxide film (25); and a step for forming predetermined diffused layers (17), (18) on one main surface of said semiconductor substrates (1), (12) by diffusing at least one kind of said impurity ions that are implanted by common heat-treatment, and for forming a diffused layer (4) on the other main surface of said semiconductor substrates (1), (12) by diffusing impurities contained in the film (30) that constitutes said source of impurity diffusion into said semiconductor substrates (1), (12) via said second oxide film (25). This makes it possible to effectively remove impurity atoms such as heavy metals present in the semiconductor substrate (1) and to perform gettering of very fine defects. Further, the protector film (31) prevents adverse effects caused by the heat-treatment that is effected for forming diffused layers (17), (18). Therefore, a reliable semiconductor device can be produced. Moreover, the manufacturing steps can be simplified, and various impurities can be simplified, and various impurities can be selected to form elements, presenting great convenience from the standpoint of production.

Title: Process for producing n,n-disubstituted aminophenol.
Inventor: NAGAMATSU SHIGEKI
IPC: B01J23/40
Filed: 1994-03-17
Abstract: A process for producing an N,N-disubstituted aminophenol, which comprises heat-treating an N-substituted-aminophenol-containing reeaction mixture obtained by reacting a dihydric phenol with an amine to thermally decompose the quaternary ammonium salt contained therein to convert it into the dihydric phenol and the amine, distilling off at least the amine, then separating high-boiling impurities by distillation to separate the N-substituted aminophenol, and reductively alkylating the separated N-substituted aminophenol with an aldehyde compound. A high-purity N,N-disubstituted aminophenol can be obtained in a high yield with a high selectivity, and the reduction catalyst can be repeatedly used, because it can retain its activity at a high level for a long period of time.
