摘要:
Disclosed herein are methods for treating a vascular leak disorder, hypotension, or a procoagulant state using angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) antagonist compounds. Also disclosed are methods for treating a vascular leak disorder associated with high dose IL-2 therapy using angiopoietin-2 antagonist compounds. Methods for diagnosing and monitoring vascular leak disorders, hypotension, or a procoagulant state that include the measurement of Ang-2 polypeptide or nucleic acid levels are also disclosed. Methods for inducing a vascular leak using an Ang-2 agonist are also disclosed.
摘要:
A flat panel x-ray imager exhibiting reduced ghosting effects and overvoltage protection by appropriate leakage current characteristics of the thin-film transistor array. A top electrode of a suitable material is directly on a non-insulating organic layer. The organic layer is directly on an amorphous selenium-based charge generator layer allowing charge transport across the layer, thereby reducing ghosting. The thin-film transistors have leakage current that rises relatively slowly with voltage across the transistor within a range that matches exposure through an object being imaged but rises at a sufficiently higher rate within a higher range to provide protection even when a corresponding region of the charge generator layer receives greater amounts of x-rays.
