摘要:
Neuropeptides, particularly vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and fragments, mutations and derivatives thereof that have corresponding activities to which have been directly or indirectly linked at least one NO or NO2 group, and their uses, including the relaxation of smooth muscle in several tissues, including vascular smooth muscle (e.g., aorta) and nonvascular smooth muscle (e.g. trachea, sphincter of Oddi, gastrointestinal smooth muscle and corpus cavernosum smooth muscle), and particularly also for the diagnosis and treatment of human male impotence.
摘要:
Disclosed are modified red blood cells which function as deployment platforms for important biomolecules. Such modified red blood cells can confer, for example, in vivo protection against exposure to an otherwise lethal nerve agent.
摘要:
A ceramic network for endodontic, orthodontic or restorative materials infused with a monomer, glass or metal alloy. After infusion of the monomer, glass or metal alloy, the monomer, glass or metal alloy is treated to form with the ceramic network an interpenetrating network of improved wear, resistance and flexibility.
摘要:
Pharmaceutical compositions and methods comprising dofctilide and calcium channel blockers. The compositions and methods are useful for the treatment of arrhythmias.
摘要:
A method of stimulating pigment production in mammalian skin, as well as protecting mammalian skin against ultraviolet damage, is disclosed. Also disclosed is a method of stimulating pigment production in mammalian cells, a method of stimulating melanogenesis in mammalian melanocytes, and a culture medium for stimulating melanin production. Preparations useful in the present methods are additionally disclosed. The methods comprise administering to the epidermis or to the cells DNA fragments, either single- or double-stranded, or a mixture of both, or deoxynucleotides, dinucleotides, or dinucleotide dimers, in an appropriate vehicle, such as a liposomal preparation or propylene glycol. The preparations include DNA fragments, deoxynucleotides, dinucleotides, or dinucleotide dimers and an appropriate delivery vehicle, such as liposomes or a propylene glycol. The DNA fragments, deoxynucleotides, or dinucleotides used in the methods or in the preparations can be ultraviolet-irradiated. The preparations are sunlight-independent tanning or melanogenesis-stimulating agent.
摘要:
An A pattern recognition subsystem responds to an A feature representation input to select an A-category-representation and predict a B-category-representation and its associated B feature representation input. During learning trials, a predicted B-category-representation is compared to that obtained through a B pattern recognition subsystem. With mismatch, a vigilance parameter of the A-pattern-recognition subsystem is increased to cause reset of the first-category-representation selection. Inputs to the pattern recognition subsystems may be preprocessed to complement code the inputs.
