摘要:
A process for depositing an inorganic material on a substrate, the process comprising, providing a substrate having a surface, providing a precursor mixture comprising a metal sulfonate, and delivering the precursor mixture to the surface of the substrate, wherein the surface of the substrate is at a substrate temperature of above 450 °C and is sufficient to effect decomposition of the metal sulfonate. The inorganic material may include a metal or a metal oxide. The preferred metal sulfonate is metal triflate.

摘要:
A composition comprises nanofibres for the delivery of a peptide across the blood brain barrier in a method of therapy of the human or animal body, wherein the nanofibres comprise a peptide conjugated to a lipophilic group. Further, a compound comprises a Dalargin or a derivative having one or more substituted, deleted or inserted aminoacyl units, and, conjugated to an aminoacyl group preferably via a side chain, a lipophilic group, optionally via a linker.
摘要:
The invention relates to the use of a Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) polypeptide or a polynucleotide encoding an MGF polypeptide in the manufacture of a medicament for the prevention or limitation of myocardial damage in response to ischemia or mechanical overload of the heart by preventing or limiting apoptosis in the myocardium.
摘要:
The invention provides an indazole derivative of formula (1), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or N-oxide thereof, wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are as defined herein. The indazole derivatives are capable of blockading voltage dependent sodium channels and they are useful in the treatment or prevention of normal tension glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, a motorneurone disease, stroke, spinal cord injury, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease or pain.

Apparatus for determining magnetic properties of materials comprises a portable probe 1, an equipment trolley 2 holding cryogenics and electronics and connecting cables 3. The probe 1 comprises a drive coil 4 and a correction coil 5, the drive coil 4 being disposed symmetrically with respect to an inner second-order gradiometer sensor coil 8. Electrical connectors in the form of 2-metre long Belden 1192A microphone cables 3 are used to connect the apparatus on the equipment trolley 2 to the drive coil 4, the correction coil 5 and the sensor coil 8. The drive coil 4 is driven so as to generate a sinusoidally varying magnetic field. The electronics comprise a flux-locked loop 9, a SQUID controller 10, a data acquisition module 11, which captures and processes the signals and a computer 12. A liquid-nitrogen dewar 13 is supported on the equipment trolley 2 and houses a sensitive SQUID detector 14 and a transfer coil 15 made from copper. Possible applications of the apparatus include an intra-operative tool for sentinel lymph node detection in the treatment of breast cancer, and a non-destructive evaluation tool for detecting voids and defects in aluminium and applications in the aeronautics industry.
