Abstract:
A method is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of preparing a serviceable catalytic converter (108) such that a catalyst substrate (144) of the catalytic converter (108) is serviceable while the catalytic converter (108) remains connected to an exhaust system (100) by forming a lower surface (108b) of the body (124) of the catalytic converter (108) with an absence of material in order to provide at least one opening (148, 148a, 148b) in the lower surface (108b) of the body (124) of the catalytic converter (108) for permitting selective access to a fluid- flow passage (136) that extends through the body (124) of the catalytic converter (108) that contains the catalyst substrate (144); and disposing at least one close-out member (175, 175a, 175b) in the at least one opening (148, 148a, 148b) for fluidly-sealing the at least one opening (148, 148a, 148b). A component (108) of an exhaust system (100) that is serviceable while remaining fluidly-connected and physically-connected to the exhaust system (100) is also disclosed. A kit (K) for servicing a component (108) of an exhaust system (100) that is serviceable while remaining fluidly-connected and physically-connected to the exhaust system (100) is also disclosed.

Abstract:
A closed electron impact ion source with overall opening area of less than 30mm 2 is employed for direct and pulsed extraction into a time-flight mass spectrometer in order to enhance sensitivity and immunity to chemical noise of oil and fumes of the vacuum system. For compatibility with dual stage GCxGC separation, the source may contain an inert liner surrounded by an isothermal cage of thermally conductive material. The source inner surface may be reduced to under 100mm 2 . A portion of carrier gas may be pumped down before admitting the sample and carrier gas into the source. A cooled surface may be used to condense fumes at the analysis time.
Abstract:
The present application relates to solid state forms, for example, crystalline forms of 2'-C-methyluridine-5'-(O-phenyl-N-(S)-1-(isopropoxycarbonyl)ethyl)thiophosphoramidate, pharmaceutical compositions that can include one or more solid forms of 2'-C-methyluridine-5'-(O-phenyl-N-(S)-1-(isopropoxycarbonyl)ethyl)thiophosphoramidate, and methods of treating or ameliorating diseases and/or conditions with one or more solid forms of 2'-C-methyluridine-5'-(O-phenyl-N-(S)-1-(isopropoxy carbonyl)ethyl)thiophosphoramidate. Also disclosed herein are methods of treating diseases and/or conditions with one or more solid forms of 2'-C-methyluridine-5'-(O-phenyl-N-(S)-1-(isopropoxycarbonyl)ethyl)thiophosphoramidate in combination with one or more other agents.

Abstract:
A model of HCV dynamics to quantify responses in subjects dosed with a combination of PR and a protease inhibitor is provided. The model quantitatively predicts clinical outcomes of alternative durations of the protease inhibitor and PR, and these predictions correspond well to the empirically observed outcomes in clinical trials. This model accounts for multiple HCV variants with reduced replicative fitness and susceptibility to protease inhibitors, and examines how these properties of the variants contribute to the HCV dynamics in subjects dosed with the triple combination therapy. Furthermore, the model provides insight into the mechanisms of how protease inhibitor-based regimens increase the SVR rate and reduce total duration of treatment, and predicts that the protease inhibitor-mediated reduction in the overall fitness of the HCV quasispecies, along with potential synergy of protease inhibitors and PR, may enable previous PR nonresponders to achieve SVR on T/PR treatment.
Abstract:
An isolated oxidation-resistant ApoA1 variant dimer includes a first oxidation-resistant ApoA1 variant polypeptide monomer and a second oxidation-resistant ApoA1 variant polypeptide monomer, wherein at least one of the first and the second monomers comprises at least one amino acid substitution of a tryptophan residue for an oxidation resistant amino acid, or a functional fragment or variant thereof. Methods for treating a disease or disorder comprises administering to a subject in need thereof, a therapeutically effective amount of an isolated oxidation-resistant ApoA1 variant dimer, an oxidation-resistant ApoA1 variant monomer, an oxidation-resistant ApoA1 monomer -lipid complex, a lipid complexed oxidation-resistant ApoA1 variant monomer, a lipid complexed oxidation-resistant ApoA1 variant dimer, or combinations thereof to the subject to enhance cholesterol efflux activity in the presence of an oxidant.
