A cyclone gasifying combustion burner and its operation is described. An exemplary burner has an inner cylindrical wall with a contour chamber feeding combustion air into the inner cylindrical wall, with an open end and a solid fuel support end where a combustible material forms a fuel bed. The inner cylindrical wall has a series of inclined air jet holes of substantially predetermined diameter and disposed at substantially predetermined locations therein to create a unidirectional cyclone within a combustion zone defined within the inner cylindrical wall. The air jet holes are disposed at a tangential and vertical angle whereby the combustion air is drawn into the inner cylindrical wall and creates a cyclone flow to mix with the combustion gases released from the flaming pyrolysis fuel bed and causes the combustion gases to flow in a cyclone path within a reaction zone to increase the residency, mixing and turbulence time of the combustion gases and simultaneously precipitate suspended particles against an inner surface of the inner cylindrical wall whereby the particles are caused to gravitate to the fuel bed where they are removed in a controlled manner during the operation of the burner.

A multi-chamber stimulation device and associated method reliably and automatically distinguish fusion from loss of capture during ventricular stimulation. The stimulation device provides immediate and accurate fusion detection when a loss of capture is suspected in the ventricles without delivering back-up stimulation pulses. To achieve this objective, the far-field signal present in the atrial channel is examined for evidence of a far-field R-wave whenever the ventricular channel detects a loss of capture. If a far-field R-wave is present, fusion is confirmed, and a far-field R-wave is absent, loss of capture is confirmed. Additionally, the stimulation device inhibits unnecessary back-up stimulation and threshold tests when fusion occurs, and provides appropriate adjustment of stimulation parameters based on confirmed fusion detection such that fusion re-occurrence is minimized.

A group of compounds that inhibit HIV replication by blocking HIV entry was identified. One representative compound, designated NB-206, and its analogs inhibited HIV replication (p24 production) with IC₅₀ values at nanomolar levels. It was proved that NB-206 and its analogs are HIV entry inhibitors by targeting the HIV gp41 since: 1) they inhibited HIV-mediated cell fusion; 2) they inhibited HIV replication only when they were added to the cells less than one hour after virus addition; 3) they blocked the formation of the gp41 core that is detected by sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using a conformation-specific MAb NC-1; and 4) they inhibited the formation of the gp41 six-helix bundle revealed by fluorescence native-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (FN-PAGE). These results suggested that NB-206 and its analogs may interact with the hydrophobic cavity and block the formation of the fusion-active gp41 coiled coil domain, resulting in inhibition of HIV-1 mediated membrane fusion and virus entry.
