摘要:
The present application provides compositions and methods for imaging traumatic brain injury using PET. The present application discloses using PET ligands targeting infiltrating neutrophils, such as a ligand of FPR, is useful for imaging inflammation. In one aspect, the ligand and imaging agent cFLFLF-PEG-64Cu.
摘要:
A smoking article, such as a cigarette, includes a lighting end and a mouth end. The lighting end is a longitudinally extending segment comprising smokable material that is intended to be lit and burned, and the resulting smoke generated by the burning of that smokable material is intended to be drawn into the mouth of the smoker through the mouth end of smoking article. A mouth end piece is located at the mouth end of the smoking article, and the mouth end piece allows the smoking article to be placed in the mouth of the smoker to be drawn upon. The smoking article further incorporates an aerosol-generation system that is located between the lighting end segment and the mouth end piece. The aerosol-generation system includes (i) a heat generation segment located adjacent to the lighting end segment, and (ii) an aerosol-generation region located between the heat generation segment and the mouth end piece. The aerosol-generation region incorporates an aerosol-forming material (e.g., glycerin and flavors). The lighting end segment is in a heat exchange relationship with the heat generation segment such that burning smokable material within the lighting end segment can ignite a combustible fuel element of the heat generation segment. The heat generation segment is in a heat exchange relationship with the aerosol-generation region such that heat generated by the burning fuel element acts to volatilize aerosol-forming material for aerosol formation.
摘要:
A fiber optic tester (10) broadly comprises a testing unit (16) to take measurements across two test points (27), a processing unit (18) to locate faults by analyzing the measurements, a switching unit (20) that can connect termination points (13) of a electrical circuit (12) to the test points (27) in a sequence controlled by the processing unit (18), and a fiber unit (22) to test a optical circuit (14). The tester (10) may also include an electrical harness (24) or an optical harness to connect the electrical circuit (12) to the switching unit (20) or the optical circuit (14) to the fiber unit (22). The processing unit (18) is preferably programed with interconnection information of the circuits (12, 14) and internal characteristics of the tester (10). Using the interconnection information and the internal characteristics, the processing unit (18) may accurately detect faults within the circuits (12, 14).
摘要:
The invention relates to methods of reducing formation of atheromas and methods of treating atherosclerotic lesions and/or atherosclerosis by reducing the amount of lumican proteglycan in the intima or an artery or in the lesion. The invention also relates to methods of identifying subjects having or at risk of having atherosclerosis comprising detecting an increased amount of lumican proteoglycan in a subject.

摘要:
A modular switching and testing system using multiple buses for testing electrical equipment. A switch module selectively switches the test points of the equipment under test to connection with the buses. A routing matrix switches power supplies and instrumentation to the selected buses. Expansion of the system in the field is possible by adding individual circuit boards to provide more termination points or by adding switching modules to provide additional buses.
