摘要:
Topical ophthalmic compositions and methods for treating dry eye are described. The compositions and methods of the invention are based on the finding that the oculosurface selective properties of the glucocorticoid rimexolone make this anti-inflammatory agent particularly well-suited for treating dry eye. As a result of the limited ability of rimexolone to penetrate the cornea, a high portion of the drug remains on the surface of the eye, which is the primary locus of the inflammatory conditions associated with dry eye. This enables a very low concentration of drug to be utilized, which in turn reduces the potential for elevations of intraocular pressure and cataract formation.

摘要:
The present invention provides compositions comprising the 15-lipoxygenase-1 (15-LO-1) or 15-lipoxyngenase-2 (15-LO-2) gene such that 15-LO-1 or 15-LO-2 protein expression is replaced or replenished in the ocular surface epithelium of post-menopausal women suffering from dry eye. Thus, methods for treatment of dry eye in postmenopausal women are further provided.

RNA interference is provided for inhibition of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) by silencing TNFα cell surface receptor TNF receptor-1 (TNFR1) mRNA expression, or by silencing TNFα converting enzyme (TACE/ADAM17) mRNA expression. Silencing such TNFα targets, in particular, is useful for treating patients having a TNFα-related condition or at risk of developing a TNFα-related condition such as the ocular conditions dry eye, allergic conjunctivitis, or ocular inflammation, or such as dermatitis, rhinitis, or asthma, for example.

A removably attachable platform device for use with a ladder includes a base plate, a coupler, and a pair of fasteners. The coupler is coupled to a lower face of the base plate and is configured to removably couple to a respective rung of a ladder to couple the base plate to the rung. Each fastener is coupled to a respective opposing side edge of the base plate and is configured to removably couple to a respective siderail of the ladder to couple the base plate to the siderails of the ladder. The base plate is positioned substantially parallel to a substantially horizontal surface, upon which the ladder is positioned, and thus is configured to support a user.

A cleat having an adjustable anchoring system configured to suspend a bumper. The cleat has a first horn located opposite a second horn. A support structure is connected to the cleat. A recess of the support structure has a ridge protruding from a wall surface of the recess. The ridge is configured to deform a portion of rope. A bore of the support structure is configured to receive a fastener. A base has a bore configured to receive the fastener. The bore of the support structure is oriented to align with the bore of the base. The base has two ramps that protrude from a wall surface of a recess of the base. The two ramps form a pocket that can have a protrusion configured to bind a portion of the rope when the fastener is tightened.

An improved drive system for transmitting rotational force between an imaging machine and an imaging cartridge. A first coupling member comprises a first mating structure configured to transfer or receive rotational force, and a second coupling member comprises a second mating structure configured to transfer or receive rotational force. The first coupling member comprising a locating cone in the center of said first coupling member, said locating cone adapted to locate in an opening of the second coupling member whereby the first coupling member is centered in relation to the second coupling member, and the first mating structure of the first coupling member is directed into contact with the second mating structure of the second coupling member.
摘要:
An electronic circuit for use with a consumable imaging unit transforms the electronic circuit from a communicated state to a non communicated state, and also induces an imaging machine to read the electronic circuit's transformed information and then store the information in the imaging machine's memory. Additionally, the information of the circuit is configured to alter an identifier of the circuit. The information of the circuit is also configured to point an imaging machine to communicate with a second element of the circuit after the information determines that a first element of the circuit has been altered from its original state.

The invention relates to a composite and oral care compositions for use in the mouth to retard the accumulation of dental plaque and/or calculus. The composite is a microaggregate comprising polymer coated, surfactant stabilized particles of a substantially insoluble metal, metal salt or metal oxide, for example zinc oxide. Also methods for retarding the accumulation of dental plaque and/or calculus are provided.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for incinerating different types of combustible waste in a cement manufacturing process. Two combustion chambers for incinerating waste are arranged in series, with first combustion chamber being a down draft chamber in which there is a downward flow of combustion gas and waste fuel to a waste and gas outlet. The second chamber is adaptable to support waste on a supporting surface incorporated in the compartment, wherein the waste is transported through the compartment from a waste inlet to a waste outlet along a circular path.
