In a preferred embodiment, the molded pockets find utility in the containment of fly boxes and other accessories used in fly fishing. A method of manufacturing a garment with three-dimensional, molded pockets.
摘要:
Methods and compositions for reducing or preventing the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells are provided. The method involves the step of administering an isolated GATA-6 molecule to a subject to prevent or reduce vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. The isolated GATA-6 molecule can be a GATA-6 nucleic acid or a GATA-6 protein.
摘要:
The invention relates to treatment to restore normal metabolic function, including but not limited to normal glucose levels. The invention in one embodiment contemplates methods of reducing elevated glucose levels in subjects with elevated glucose levels by administering a composition comprising at least a portion of human Sfrp5. The invention in one embodiment contemplates methods of reducing elevated glucose levels in subjects with elevated glucose levels by administering a composition comprising an inhibitor of Wnt5a, including but not limited to an antibody inhibitor.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods to identify factors associated with muscle growth, angiogenesis, obesity, insulin sensitivity body weight, fat mass, muscle mass and cardiovascular function. In particular, the methods of the present invention relates to assays to identify such factors using a transgenic animal model and/or a cell-based assay.
摘要:
The present invention relates to metabolic regulators that affect metabolic function, for example metabolic regulators that affect muscle mass, muscle regeneration, muscle hypertrophy, fat mass, insulin and glucose sensitivity, angiogenesis and cardiovascular function. In particular, the present invention relates to modulating metabolic function by administering an effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising an agent, where the agent activates or inhibits the activity and/or gene expression of the metabolic regulator. The metabolic regulators of the present invention are, for example MSP1 (2160028F08Rik; SEQ ID NO: 16); MSP2 (2310043I08Rik; SEQ ID NO: 17); MSP3 (NM_026754;1 110017116Rik; SEQ ID NO: 1); MSP4 (4732466D17Rik; SEQ BD NO: 18); MSP 5 (NM_024237; 1600015H20Rik; SEQ ID NO: 12); Ins16 (AF_156094; SEQ ID NO: 20). The present invention also provides methods to screen for agents that affect the metabolic regulators of the present invention.

A preferred embodiment is a fishing shirt comprising: a body portion, said body portion being fabricated from a breathable, knitted fabric having a wicking finish; a collar portion and a yoke portion, said collar portion and said yoke portion being fabricated from a four-way stretch fabric having a wicking finish; a pair of lower sleeve portions, each of said lower sleeve portions being fabricated from a non-wicking, hydrophobic fabric; and a pair of underarm portions, each of said underarm portions being fabricated from a knit, anti-microbial fabric.
摘要:
This invention relates to methods and compositions for the treatment of conditions associated with vascular insufficiency, and to methods and compositions for screening assays to select agents that are useful for this purpose. In particular the invention relates to HMG CoA reductase inhibitors and their use in promoting angiogenesis in vivo and in activating Akt in vascular endothelial cells in vitro and in vivo.
摘要:
A method of site-specifically delivering a therapeutic agent to a target location within a body cavity, vasculature or tissue. The method comprises the steps of providing a medical device having a substantially saturated solution of therapeutic agent associated therewith; introducing the medical device into the body cavity, vasculature or tissue; releasing a volume of the solution of therapeutic agent from the medical device at the target location at a pressure of from about 0 to about 5 atmospheres for a time of up to about 5 minutes; and withdrawing the medical device from the body cavity, vasculature or tissue. In another aspect, the present invention includes a system for delivering a therapeutic agent to a body cavity, vasculature or tissue, comprising a medical device having a substantially saturated solution of the therapeutic agent associated therewith.
摘要:
A novel growth arrest homeobox gene has been discovered and the nucleotide sequences have been determined in both the rat and the human. The expression of the novel homeobox gene inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell growth. The growth arrest homeobox gene hereinafter referred to as the “Gax gene” and its corresponding proteins are useful in the study of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and in the treatment of blood vessel diseases that result from excessive smooth muscle cell proliferation, particularly after balloon angioplasty.
