Abstract: CD44, the receptor for hyaluronic acid, has complex functions in cellular physiology, cell migration and tumour metastasis. The inventors have previously found that human CD44 receptor overexpression in mouse fibrosarcoma cells inhibits subcutaneous tumour growth in mice [Kogerman et al., Oncogene 1997; 15:1407-16; Kogerman et al., Clin Exp Metastasis 1998; 16:83-93]. Here it is demonstrated that a tumour growth inhibitory effect of CD44 is caused by block of angiogenesis. Furthermore, the inventors have found that soluble recombinant CD44 hyaluronic acid binding domain (CD44HABD) inhibits angiogenesis in vivo in cLick and mouse and thereby inhibits human tumour growth of various origins. The anti-angiogenic effect of CD44-HABD is independent of hyaluronic acid (HA) binding, since non-HA-binding mutants of CD44HABD still maintain anti-angiogenic properties. The invention discloses soluble CD44 recombinant proteins as a novel class of angiogenesis inhibitors based on targeting of vascular cell surface receptor. A method of block of angiogenesis and treatment of human tumours using recombinant CD44 proteins as well as their analogues is disclosed. As a further embodiment of the invention, methods for screening for new drug targets using CD44 recombinant proteins and their analogues is presented.

Abstract: A dielectric heating system with which the power density applied to the product being treated can be at least doubled without risk of electric arcs. This invention is particularly suitable for treatment of compounds that absorb electromagnetic waves weakly (low dielectric constants). In particular, fatty substances such as oils, butters, waxes and fats can be treated (refining, hydrolysis, transesterification, interesterification, etc.), derivatives thereof (esterification, polymerization, alcoholysis, ethoxylation, hydrogenation, etc.) under static or dynamic conditions, as can hydrocarbons and aromatic compounds. This system can also be used advantageously for polar or polarized compounds, because the power absorbed is increased very significantly, with large production gains. In particular, fatty or non-fatty alcohols (oleic alcohol, glycol, glycerol, mannitol, sorbitol, polyglycerols, vitamins, etc.), carboxylic acids, amines and similar compounds can be treated under static or dynamic conditions.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for desalination of seawater (5, 30) and separation of CO2 from exhaust (77) from a gas turbine (7). LNG (4) is fed into a heat exchanger (6) in which it receives heat from seawater (5) and heat from steam (27) from an exhaust boiler, and heat from combustion air (3) via a line to an air inlet (33) of said gas turbine (7), for evaporating LNG (4) to gas which is fed to a gas export module (10) and to a fuel gas skid (8) for supplying said gas turbine (7) with fuel. Thus said combustion air (3, 28) at the air inlet to said gas turbine (7) obtains a lowered temperature and increases an efficiency of said gas turbine (7). Said CO2-rich exhaust gas (77) from said gas turbine (7) is fed into a process unit (17) having an inlet (35a) with a fan (35b) and an outlet for CO2-reduced exhaust (13). Said cooled seawater from said heat exchanger (6) is fed into said process unit (17) via a coaxial feed pipe (67) for seawater and NH4OH arranged in said process unit (17). NH4OH is fed into said coaxial feed pipe (67) and is then mixed with said cooled seawater (30) and released via a series of nozzles in several vertical levels from said feed pipe (67) to said process unit's (17) upwards flowing, rotating exhaust (77). By this device a good mixture of NH4OH-containing salt water and CO2-rich exhaust is achieved, for formation of NaHCO3, NH4Cl, and fresh water.

Abstract: The subject invention relates to a novel press apparatus and method for steam pressing a mat (8) of compressible material and an uncured thermosetting binder into a formed product and has particular application to the steam pressing of lignocellulosic material and a binder to form composite board. The novelty resides in making provision for projection means (10) generally configured to the outline of the end product to be produced and which is carried by a press platen, preferably the upper press platen (1), and which is intended to impinge into the mat during its compression and to effect a steam pressure seal at the impingement area of the mat. As a pressure seal of the compressed mat is created about the mat edges, steam can then be built up in the mat in order to cure the binder. If desired, cool air can be passed through the mat after steaming to condense residual steam in the mat. The compressed mat after steaming, can also be subject to vacuum prior to releasing it from the press. The edges of the cured mat which have been subject to impingement, can subsequently be trimmed off.
