摘要:
A sample preparation procedure for mitochondrial (mt) DNA analysis is described. The present method for isolating mtDNA uses sedimentation techniques for separating erythrocytes from lymphocytes and platelets (crude buffy coat fraction), followed by DNA extraction from the crude buffy coat fraction by boiling in water. This approach improves the yield of mutant DNA, enhancing the sensitivity of subsequent mutation interrogation techniques and allowing for meaningful statistical treatment of the degree of heteroplasmy within the mitochondrial DNA.
摘要:
A process for increasing the activity of a zeolite-containing particulate solid containing contaminants which block the pores of the zeolite and adversely affect the activity thereof wherein the contaminated zeolitic material is slurried with a liquid containing an acid, detergent or surfactant, the slurry is agitated to liberate the pore-blocking contaminants from the zeolite pores so that they are suspended in the liquid, a portion of the liquid is withdrawn from the slurry and filtered to remove the suspended contaminants, the resulting liquid is returned to the slurry, and the treated zeolite-containing particulate solid is liquid from the solution and recovered.
摘要:
The present invention relates to genetic mutations in mitochondrial genes that segregate with diabetes mellitus. The invention provides methods for detecting such mutations, as a diagnostic for diabetes mellitus, either before or after the onset on clinical symptoms. Examples of specific mutations in the mitochondrial ATP synthase 8/6 gene and tRNA lysine gene are given. The invention also provides treatments for dysfunctions due to mitochondrial genes that segregate with diabetes mellitus. Cybrid cell lines are described which are useful as model systems for the study of the mitochondrial metabolic disorders that are associated with diabetes mellitus, and for identifying therapeutic compounds and treatments for this disease.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel oral pharmaceutical composition of micronized megestrol acetate at a concentration of 15 to 150 mg/mL comprising polysorbate at a concentration of 0.005% to 0.015% weight/volume and polyethylene glycol at a concentration of 5-30% weight/volume which composition forms a stable flocculated suspension in water. The invention further comprises the micronized megestrol acetate formulation described above with added preservatives, buffers, sweeteners and flavoring agents.
摘要:
A pantyhose or the like garment having a novel waistband construction comprising an anchor portion and an integrally knit wide band portion. The waistband is substantially wider than conventional waistbands, the anchor portion consisting of a narrow turned welt portion and a wide single ply band portion, each incorporating textured nylon and elastomer yarns.
摘要:
An electronics box includes a cover and a bottomwall spaced from the cover by opposed sidewalls of the box. A motherboard having circuit card connectors thereon is mounted in the electronics box adjacent the cover. The box further includes in-line connectors mounted adjacent the motherboard with the in-line connectors interconnected with the connectors in the motherboard. The bottomwall and sidewalls include circuit card edge guides formed therein for retaining circuit cards connected to the motherboard.The arrangement of the in-line connectors adjacent to the motherboard provides for relatively direct and short runs for the interconnecting harness cable, thereby minimizing the amount of space within the box devoted to internal interconnect cables.The in-line connectors provide for straight-line connection or disconnection, making possible direct mounting with a simple jackscrew arrangement.
摘要:
A gas service tee designed to facilitate tamper-proof termination of gas service to a residential or business location and/or removal of the gas meter without interruption of gas service. The gas service tee is characterized in a first preferred embodiment by a tee fitting located in the gas service line downstream from the gas meter and an adaptor having a tamper-proof adaptor stem mounted in the tee fitting, which adaptor stem can be adjusted to stop the flow of gas through the line. In a second preferred embodiment of the invention the adaptor stem is hollow and is provided with spaced stem openings and a stem grip may be provided for threadably rotating the stem inside an adaptor fitting located in the tee fitting. A tube fitting may also be provided on the stem or stem grip for receiving the hose of an auxiliary gas supply bottle and supplying gas to the residential or business location while the gas meter is being repaired or replaced.
摘要:
Processes for operating gasoline engines with spark plug ignition of gasolines containing manganese compound additives such as pentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT), the gasoline being essentially free of lead, sodium and barium compounds, thereby avoiding fouling of the spark plugs with glass-like deposits formed from the oxide reaction products of sodium or barium and manganese; the lubricating oils in the crankcase of said engines being essentially free from lead, sodium and barium compounds; processes for operating gasoline engines having an exhaust system with a catalytic converter for conversion of hydrocarbon emissions and carbon monoxide emissions to water and carbon dioxide with the same types of gasolines, and preventing fouling of the catalyst in said converter by glass-like deposits formed thereon by oxidation products of sodium and/or barium compounds with manganese by operating said engine in the absence of lead, sodium and barium compounds in the combustion chambers of the engine, its exhaust system, and the crankcase lubricating oils; and gasoline fuels for internal combustion engines containing a small amount of a manganese compound additive, e.g., MMT, said gasoline being essentially free of lead, sodium and barium compounds.
摘要:
A parison mold portion (20) of a glassware forming machine, of the type having a parison mold (22) and a parison plunger (240), is provided with means for cooling the parison plunger (240). The means for cooling the parison plunger (240) includes a central cooling passage (258) that communicates with an end surface (246) and that extends longitudinally toward a nose (254), and a plurality of umbrella passages (162) that communicate with the end surface (246) radially outward from the central cooling passage (258), that are circumferentially spaced, and that intercept the central cooling passage (258) proximal to the nose (254). A tube (264) is inserted into the central cooling passage (258), is longitudinally adjustable, and is effective to adjustably determine the longitudinal position wherein the umbrella passages (162) communicate with the central cooling passage; whereby cooling of portions of the parison plunger (240) proximal to the nose (254) versus portions distal from the nose (254), is selectively controlled.
