    摘要: One aspect of the present invention relates to compositions and methods comprising polyelectrolyte molecules for treating patients who have certain diseases. Aspects of the invention relate to using certain polyelectrolyte compositions in therapy. According to the invention polyelectrolyte compositions may be used, for example, to slow or stop cell growth, kill cells (e.g., via necrotic or apoptotic pathways), promote fibrosis, or a combination thereof. In one aspect of the invention, certain toxic (e.g., cytotoxic) properties of polyelectrolytes are exploited for therapeutic purposes. In certain embodiments, compositions and methods of the invention are used to target polyelectrolyte toxicity to predetermined regions within a subject, while minimizing undesirable toxicity at other regions with the subject. In certain embodiments, the present invention relates to lung-volume-reduction therapy using a polyelectrolyte composition.

    摘要: A process for the separation and recovery of fluorochemicals from a gas stream containing a diluent gas and fluorochemicals by contact of the gas stream with a membrane system in combination with an adsorption system, the adsorption system used either before or after the membrane system. In either case the membrane portion of the combined system comprises the steps of: compressing a gas stream containing a diluent gas and fluorochemicals to an elevated pressure; heating the gas stream containing a diluent gas and fluorochemicals to an elevated temperature sufficient to increase the flux of the permeate stream and to increase the selectivity of the membrane for the permeation of the diluent gas relative to the permeation of the fluorochemicals; contacting the gas stream with a membrane which is selectively more permeable to the diluent gas than the fluorochemicals to result in a permeate stream rich in the diluent gas and a retentate rich in fluorochemicals; contacting the gas stream with one or more additional membranes which are selectively more permeable to the diluent gas than the fluorochemicals to result in a second permeate stream rich in the diluent gas and a second retentate rich in fluorochemicals; and recycling the second permeate stream to be compressed with the gas stream containing diluent gas and fluorochemicals to an elevated pressure.

Preferably, the second retentate rich in fluorochemicals is further purified by adsorption or low temperature rectification to provide a fluorochemical-rich product stream and a diluent-rich vent stream.
