摘要:
A method of inhibiting the production of interleukin-1 by monocytes and/or macrophages in a human in need thereof which comprises administering to such a human an effective, interleukin-1 production inhibiting amount of a diaryl-substituted imidazole fused to a second heterocyclic ring containing a nitrogen bridgehead atom wherein said second ring may also contain sulfur, oxygen or an additional nitrogen atom, and may contain additional unsaturation.This invention relates to a method of inhibiting the production of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) by monocytes or macrophages in a human in need thereof which comprises administering to such mammal an effective, TNF production inhibiting amount of a compound of Formula (I) as described herein. The compounds of Formula (II) are generally described as diaryl-substituted imidazole fused to a second heterocyclic ring containing a nitrogen bridgehead wherein said ring may also contain sulfur, oxygen, or an additional nitrogen atom, and may contain additional unsaturation.
摘要:
A mobile communications handset (12) is capable of connection through two different networks (2, 27). When it is out of contact with its preferred local wireless access system (27), the handset will seek a hand-over to the cellular network (2), and will become registered as a “roaming” handset currently connected to the cellular network (2). The cellular network (2) reports this location information to the call server (28), as it would to the HLR of any normal visiting handset, so that incoming calls to the PSTN (6) destined for the user (12) can be routed by way of the cellular network. Outgoing calls are handled as conventional cellular telephony calls. When contact with a local wireless access system (27) is re-established, the contact information is passed to the call server 28, which reports to the cellular network (2) that a handover has occurred. An interface between the call server (28) and cellular network (2) is configured such that the call server (28) emulates a base site controller of the cellular network (2). The cellular network therefore operates conventionally, with the handset (12) logged as operating through this quasi-base site controller. However, the cellular system would continue to register the presence of the handset as co-operating with the quasi-base station (28), even though it would have no visibility of most calls being made to and from the handset (12). This avoids the cellular system (2) attempting to seize control of the handset through a normal cellular base station (21).
摘要:
This invention features devices and methods for inducing tissue formation in a mammal, involving the use of a morphogenic protein, a hormone and a soluble receptor of the hormone. The hormone and receptor thereof are used to enhance the tissue inductive activity of the morphogenic protein.
摘要:
The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a morphogenic protein stimulatory factor (MPSF) for improving the tissue inductive activity of morphogenic proteins, particularly those belonging to the BMP protein family. Methods for improving the tissue inductive activity of a morphogenic protein in a mammal using those compositions are provided. This invention also provides implantable morphogenic devices comprising a morphogenic protein and a MPSF disposed within a carrier, that are capable of inducing tissue formation in allogeneic and xenogeneic implants. Methods for inducing local tissue formation from a progenitor cell in a mammal using those devices are also provided. A method for accelerating allograft repair in a mammal using morphogenic devices is provided. This invention also provides a prosthetic device comprising a prosthesis coated with a morphogenic protein and a MPSF, and a method for promoting in vivo integration of an implantable prosthetic device to enhance the bond strength between the prosthesis and the existing target tissue at the joining site. Methods of treating tissue degenerative conditions in a mammal using the pharmaceutical compositions are also provided.
