Abstract:
A self-leveling cementitious mixture with excellent flow properties and which hardens with a controlled rate of strength development to an ultra-high compressive strength composite composition for use in making articles such as cementitious armor panel with ballistic and blast resistant properties including: a continuous phase resulting from the curing of an aqueous mixture, in the absence of silica flour, of inorganic cement binder, inorganic mineral filler having a particle size of about 150-450 microns, pozzolanic mineral filler, polycarboxylate based self-leveling agent and water. The cementitious mixture may include alkanolamine, such as triethanolamine, and acid or acid salt, such as tartaric acid. The cementitious composition may be reinforced with reinforcing fibers, e.g. glass fibers, in an amount of about 0.5-6.0% by volume of the overall cementitious composition. The fibers are uniformly dispersed in the cementitious composition before it is cured to form a final cementitious armor panel.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for use of leptin, leptin analogues and leptin derivatives for treating lipoatrophy patients. SOLUTION: Leptin is effective against conditions of lipodystrophy for both hereditary and acquired forms of the disease. A therapeutically effective amount of leptin can be administered in a variety of ways, including subcutaneously and using gene therapy methods. The methods are disclosed administration of leptin, leptin analogs, and leptin derivatives to patients having a leptin level of approximately 4 ng/mL or less before treatment.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide anticancer drug that performs potent inhibition by the action on topoisomerase I that pulls a DNA double helix apart into two chains.SOLUTION: This invention relates to: N-substituted indenoisoquinoline compounds, and more specifically, substituted 11H-indeno[1,2-c]isoquinoline compounds, including dimers of such substituted 11H-indeno[1,2-c]isoquinoline compounds formed with a divalent linker; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates, and solvates thereof.
Abstract:
A cementitious armor panel assembly including cementitious armor panel with ballistic and blast resistant properties attached to a frame structure to produce a protective structure. The cementitious armor panels have a continuous phase resulting from the curing of an aqueous mixture of an inorganic cement binder, an inorganic mineral filler having a particle size of about 150-450 microns, a pozzolanic mineral filler, a polycarboxylate based superplasticizer self-leveling agent, and water. The mixture may also contain alkanolamine, and acid or acid salt. Prior to curing, the continuous phase is reinforced with fiber uniformly distributed in the continuous phase before it is cured to form the panel. The panel may be reinforced with a skin attached to at least one surface of the panel.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods for treating autoimmune diseases in mammals and methods for preventing or treating transplantation rejection in a transplant recipient. SOLUTION: The methods utilize specific methimazole derivatives and tautomeric cyclic thione compounds, as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing those compounds. These compounds and compositions are at least as effective as methimazole in terms of pharmaceutical activity, while having less of an adverse affect on thyroid function. They are also more soluble in conventional pharmaceutical vehicles than methimazole. An assay for screening the activity of compounds useful against autoimmune diseases (ability to suppress expression of MHC Class I and Class II molecules) is also taught. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
