Abstract:
The present invention encompasses a human or veterinary pharmaceutical composition containing a pharmaceutically safe and effective amount of thiadone and the use thereof in treating central nervous system tumor types that are caused by sensitivity to glutathione or other antioxidant adjuvant therapeutic strategies, especially in recurrent malignant tumor types, and resistant due to high levels of aberrant antioxidant tumor enzymes not typically present in normal brain tissue.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for the preparation of polyurethane encapsulated fertilizer particles. This process comprises applying an isocyanate-reactive component to fertilizer particles, and applying an aliphatic polyisocyanate to fertilizer particles in separate steps to form polyurethane encapsulated fertilizer particles. The two reactants may be applied in either order, with the polyisocyanate being first or last. These two steps may optionally be repeated as many times as necessary to yield polyurethane encapsulated fertilizer particles which contain from 0.5 to 15 % by weight of polyurethane, based on the total weight of the encapsulated fertilizer particles. It is also possible to mix the isocyanate-reactive component and the polyisocyanate together to form a mixture which is then applied to the fertilizer particles. These polyurethane coatings which encapsulate the fertilizer particles are biodegradable.

Abstract:
A recombinant human IL-4 mutein numbered in accordance with wild-type IL-4 wherein the mutein comprises at least one amino acid substitution in the binding surface of either the A- or C-alpha helices of the wild-type IL-4 whereby the mutein binds to the IL-4R alpha receptor with at least greater affinity than native IL-4. The substitution is more preferably selected from the group of positions consisting of, in the A-helix, positions 13 and 16, and in the C-helix, positions 81 and 89. A most preferred embodiment is the recombinant human IL-4 mutein wherein the substitution at position 13 is Thr to Asp. Pharmaceutical compositions, amino acid and polynucleotide sequences encoding the muteins, transformed host cells, antibodies to the muteins, and methods of treatment are also described.
Abstract:
The present invention is a device (1) and method for the transportation and metering of precise amounts of particulate matter. The device (1) provides an environmentally and operator safe means of transporting and dispensing precise amounts of particulate matter from the point of manufacture directly to the ultimate consumer of the product. Because of the unique design, the device (1) is readily transportable via standard means of transportation and may be operated by a single individual with no environmental or operator risk. The device (1) further contains, as an integral part thereof, means (27) for the precision metering of the particulate matter being transported. The device may be utilized to store the particulate matter for extended periods of time and, upon being emptied, may be refilled and reused.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a novel galanin receptor protein, the GalR2 receptor. Also provided are the nucleic acid sequences encoding this novel receptor protein as well as methods for using this protein and its nucleic acid sequence, and methods useful for developing and identifying compounds for the treatment of diseases and disorders in which galanin is implicated. The importance of this discovery is manifested in the effects of galanin, which include antinociceptive activity, smooth muscle contraction, cardiovascular activity, pituitary hormone release, cognition, and increased food intake. Thus, this receptor protein is useful for screening for galanin agonist and antagonist activity for controlling these conditions.
