    摘要: A lint/pet hair roller assembly includes a body supporting a tubular adhesive lint remover roller and/or a stationary directional lint brush fabric. The assembly includes a handle section and a roller support section. The support section has an outer diameter less than the diameter of the adhesive lint roll or a directional fabric wrapped about the support section. The elongated handle section receives a separate rubber cushion and an optional decorative top including a hanger. Alternately, an arm projects from the body and receives an additional cleaning element. Alternately, a dispenser is carried on the handle for dispensing fluid from a storage chamber carried in the handle. Alternately, a squeegee is alternately carried in the support.

    摘要: Methods of inducing the expression of a proteoglycan such as aggrecan in a cell are described. A method is described which includes transfecting a cell with an isolated nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a LIM mineralization protein operably linked to a promoter. The LIM mineralization protein can be rLMP, hLMP-1, hLMP-1s, or hLMP-3. Transfection maybe accomplished ex vivo or in vivo by direct injection of virus or naked DNA, or by a nonviral vector such as a plasmid. The method can be used to induce proteoglycan synthesis in osseous cells or to stimulate proteoglycan and/or collagen production in cells capable of producing proteoglycan and/or collagen (e.g., intervertebral disc cells including cells of the nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus).

    摘要: The present invention relates to novel drug depot implant designs for optimal delivery of therapeutic agents to subjects. The invention provides a method for alleviating pain associated with neuromuscular or skeletal injury or inflammation by targeted delivery of one or more therapeutic agents to inhibit the inflammatory response which ultimately causes acute or chronic pain. Controlled and directed delivery can be provided by drug depot implants, comprising therapeutic agents, specifically designed to deliver the therapeutic agent to the desired location by facilitating their implantation, minimizing their migration from the desired tissue location, and without disrupting normal joint and soft tissue movement.

    摘要: An improved cleaning tool is provided with a flexible connection between the head or spindle and the handle. The improved tool broadly includes a spindle or head, a handle and a flexible connection between the head and handle to permit relative pivotal movement therebetween and rubber bumpers to protect against scratching furniture. The flexible connection regulates relative movement between the spindle head in such a way that lateral movement is greater than the up and down movement.

    摘要: A cleaning apparatus includes a handle, a support coupled to the handle and a cleaning element mountable on the support. The support is fixed to the handle or is rotatably coupled to the handle for rotation by a drive motor mounted in the handle. The cleaning element may include bristles extending from a flexible mat fixed about the support of about a core mountable on the support. A cleaning sheet is windable about the support, the core or the cleaning element, including over and through the bristles, for dual cleaning action.
