摘要:
A shielding apparatus is provided for containing frozen bags of fluid and re particularly for containing frozen bags of blood components during microwave thaw. The apparatus includes a metal box for receiving a blood bag, the box having a bottom and sides. A metallic lid is provided, and a hinging device pivotally mounts the lid to the box for enclosing the blood bag therein. The lid and optionally the bottom of the box may be provided with an aperture for allowing microwaves to enter the box. Radiation absorbing strips are mounted along the edges of the apertures for absorbing E field reflections toward the blood bag. The apertures allow microwave energy to be concentrated in the more voluminous part of the blood bag while the edges of bag as well as any tubing are shielded by the metallic box. This apparatus prevents boiling of the blood in the lower volume areas of the bag.
摘要:
Disclosed are 3-aryl-6-aryl-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles and related compounds thereof, represented by the Formula I: wherein Ar1, Ar2, and X are defined herein. The present invention relates to the discovery that compounds having Formula I are activators of caspases and inducers of apoptosis. Therefore, the activators of caspases and inducers of apoptosis of this invention may be used to induce cell death in a variety of clinical conditions in which uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells occurs.

摘要:
The present invention relates to novel fluorescent dyes, novel fluorogenic and fluorescent reporter molecules and new enzyme assay processes that can be used to detect the activity of caspases and other enzymes involved in apoptosis in whole cells, cell lines and tissue samples derived from any living organism or organ. The reporter molecules and assay processes can be used in drug screening procedures to identify compounds which act as inhibitors or inducers of the caspase cascade in whole cells or tissues. The reagents and assays described herein are also useful for determining the chemosensitivity of human cancer cells to treatment with chemotherapeutic drugs. The present invention also relates to novel fluorogenic and fluorescent reporter molecules and new enzyme assay processes that can be used to detect the activity of type 2 methionine aminopeptidase, dipeptidyl peptidase IV, calpain, aminopeptidase, HIV protease, adenovirus protease, HSV-1 protease, HCMV protease and HCV protease.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to novel dipeptides thereof, represented by the general Formula I: where R1-R3 and AA are defined herein. The present invention relates to the discovery that compounds having Formula I are potent inhibitors of apoptotic cell death. Therefore, the inhibitors of this invention can retard or block cell death in a variety of clinical conditions in which the loss of cells, tissues or entire organs occurs.
