    摘要: The present invention provides methods and compositions for screening assays for compounds that alter mitochondrial function, and in particular that alter apoptosis, based on the observations that expression of the transcription factor FREAC-2 is up-regulated in Alzheimer's disease and that induction of FREAC-2 expression in a cell results in apoptosis. The invention thus provides methods for identifying agents that alter mitochondrial function by determining the activity of reducing or enhancing apoptosis that follows the induced expression of FREAC-2, useful, for example, in treatment of neurodegenerative diseases ( e.g., Alzheimer's) and/or of diseases of inappropriate cell proliferation or survival ( e.g., cancer). The present invention also includes methods of identifying pharmaceutical/ molecular targets for compounds that alter mitochondrial function ( e.g., by altering apoptosis).

    摘要: Compositions and methods are provided for the treatment of diseases associated with altered mitochondrial function, and in particular, for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Administration of an agent that increases mitochondrial mass, including promotion of mitochondrial biogenesis by induction of a PGC gene e.g. , PGC-1), a UCP gene and/or a nuclear regulatory factor gene e.g. , NRF-1), is also disclosed. Screening assays for agents that regulate such genes involved in mitochondiral biogenesis, and for genes and gene products that are regulated by such genes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis, are also provided.

    摘要: Saliva sample collection systems are configured with special attention to ease-of-use for the unskilled user and safe transport and delivery by a conventional delivery services such as Federal Express. A sealed cavity is formed by tight coupling of two primary elements: a receiving vessel element and a sealing cap element. The receiving vessel has integrated therewith: a standing means, a fill-line window, a funnel system, a knife, a threadset, and containment tube among others. A complementary cap element includes a cooperating threadset, label receiving surface, gripping surface, seal means and reservoir with piercable thin-film membrane. These two primary elements may be accommodated in an application-specific shipping container which support two shipping modes whereby the system may be shipped safely to and from a donor user each way in a different shipping mode.

    摘要: A method of selectively removing silicon nitride from a substrate comprises providing a substrate having silicon nitride on a surface thereof; and dispensing phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid onto the surface of the substrate as a mixed acid liquid stream at a temperature greater than about 150°C. In this method, water is added to a liquid solution of the mixed acid liquid stream as or after the liquid solution of the mixed acid liquid stream passes through a nozzle.

    摘要: An ultrasound probe includes a transducer which is pivotally mounted inside a fluid chamber for scanning a region outside the probe as the transducer is oscillated. A volume compensation balloon is attached to the fluid chamber and is partially filled with acoustic fluid at nominal (room) temperatures. The balloon is made of a high performance thermoplastic which enables the balloon to have a very thin wall. The thin wall is highly compliant as the volume of the fluid inside the balloon changes, and remains so at low temperatures of transport and use. The thin wall exhibits a low permeability to the acoustic fluid. The balloon is formed of a non elastic material and exhibits good thermal stability and high burst strength.
