摘要:
The present invention relates to determinable effects of ethanol exposure on the cellular localization and abundance of specific proteins, referred to herein as ethanol indicative proteins. More specifically, the present invention is based, in part, on the discovery that the catalytic C&agr; subunit of cAMP dependent protein kinase (PKA), which is normally localized in the Golgi apparatus area, appears to translocate to the nucleus upon exposure of a cell to ethanol. The present invention is further based on the observation that the &dgr;-subunit of PKC translocates from the Golgi area to the perinucleus and the nucleus in response to ethanol exposure, while the &egr;-subunit of PKC migrates from the perinucleus into the cytoplasm. The present invention further relates to the discovery that the detectable amount of the regulatory subunit RI of PKA decreases, while the detectable amount of &agr;PKC, &dgr;PKC and &egr;PKC increases upon exposure of a cell to ethanol. These discoveries provide the basis for assays that may be used to detect the exposure of cells to ethanol and assays that may be used for the screening of drugs or the development of treatments to modulate the effects of ethanol consumption. The invention further relates to kits for detecting the exposure of cells to ethanol. Kits of the invention may include antibodies, which preferably are labeled, capable of specifically binding to C&agr; or RI of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, or, capable of specifically binding to &agr;PKC, &dgr;PKC or &egr;PKC.

摘要:
This invention relates to methods for treating a patient suffering from neuropathic or nociceptive pain which may be mechanical, visceral, and/or inflammatory in nature, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of Ranolazine to a patient in need thereof.
摘要:
This invention provides a method of mitigating/ameliorating one or more components of addictive behavior associated with chronic consumption of a substance of abuse, or withdrawal therefrom. The method typically involves administering to a subject in need thereof an adenosine A2A receptor antagonist in an amount sufficient to ameliorate said one or more components of addictive behavior.
摘要:
A tile product having a substantially non-porous vinyl composition base and a multilevel embossing and gloss which has a mechanically embossed mortar-line surround and which is free of gloss defects formed by pockets of air trapped between the wear layer and embossing mold during embossing is produced by applying a vacuum to the press during embossing. Preferably, the tile is laminated in a hot press heated by RF energy and cooled in a cold press to reduce the temperature of the wear layer to below its glass transition temperature.
