Three novel low molecular weight (LMW) polypeptide fragments of a proteolipid protein human PLP/DM20 are designated PIRP-M, PIRP-L and PIRP-J, and are growth factors for oligodendrocytes with anti-apoptotic activity. They are encoded by mRNA from an IRES. Fusion polypeptides of such a LMW polypeptide, DNA encoding the LMW polypeptide and fusion polypeptide, expression vectors comprising such DNA, and cells expressing such polypeptides, or pharmaceutical compositions thereof, are useful for stimulating neural stem cell differentiation, maturation along the oligodendrocytic pathway and proliferation of oligodendrocytes or precursors. These compositions can protect oligodendrocytes (and nonneural cells) from apoptotic death. Thus, the present composition is used to treat a disease or condition in which such differentiation, maturation and proliferation or inhibition of cell death, including remyelination or stimulation of oligodendroglia or Schwann cells, is desirable. Disorders include multiple sclerosis, trauma with Parkinson's-like symptoms, hypoxic ischerriia and spinal cord trauma.

A cushioning mechanism for a treadmill having a pair of ⊃-shaped rigid connection elements and a pair of pivotal rigid cushioning elements that are interposed between the bottom surface of both sides of the platform frame and the base bars. The pivotal rigid cushioning element includes a guidewheel at one end thereof. In this way, the guidewheel is movable on the surface of the base bar when the platform frame is moved up and down by the external forces applied to it. Accordingly, the cushioning and restoring effects can be achieved. Moreover, a resistance-adjusting element is provided at the bottom of the guidewheel. A free adjustment of the cushioning force may be achieved by the inclination of the resistance-adjusting element.

In this way, the guidewheel is movable on the surface of the base bar when the platform frame is moved up and down by the external forces applied to it. Accordingly, the cushioning and restoring effects can be achieved. Moreover, an auxiliary supporting element is pivotally interposed between both sides of the platform frame and the handle frame assembly, respectively. As a result, a complete cushioning and restoring effect can be ensured.

The present invention relates to methods for treating multiple sclerosis by combining immunotherapy with myelin repair.

Methods for treating diseased or damaged tissue in a subject are disclosed, involving administering to said subject at a site wherein diseased or damaged tissue occurs, cells of a type(s) normally found in healthy tissue corresponding to the diseased or damaged tissue, and/or suitable progenitor cells thereof, in association with bioresorbable beads or particles and optionally a gel and/or gel-forming substance. Where the cells and/or suitable progenitor cells thereof are chondrocytes, embryonic stem cells and/or bone marrow stromal cells, the methods of the invention are suitable for treating, for example, articular cartilage degeneration associated with primary osteoarthritis. Also disclosed is a device having tissue-like characteristics for treating diseased or damaged tissue in a subject, wherein the device comprises cells of a type(s) normally found in healthy tissue corresponding to the diseased or damaged tissue, and/or suitable progenitor cells thereof, in association with bioresorbable beads or particles and optionally a gel and/or gel-forming substance.

The invention is a unit for fixing an antenna, comprising: a base element suited to support the antenna, provided with a contact surface suited to rest against a plate-like supporting body; a fixing element comprising a main body suited to be connected to the base element through joining means that define a connection direction, and a projecting body mainly developed according to the connection direction and associated with the main body through a deformable connection section. The projecting body has a reference surface facing a corresponding thrust surface of the main body and spaced from it, the connection section being configured so that its deformation makes it possible to move near each other and bring into contact the reference surface and the thrust surface when the fixing element is connected to the base element.

Transmissivity is restored to a gallium stained substrate by directing an electron beam to the substrate in the presence of an etching gas. For higher concentrations of implanted gallium, the transparency can be substantially restored without reducing the thickness of the substrate. For lower doses of implanted gallium, the transmission is restored to 100%, although the thickness of the substrate is reduced. The invention is suitable for use in the repair of photolithography masks.

The invention relates to an injection for treating skin defect, which mainly comprises cell component and platelet-rich blood plasma, the content of the cell component in per milliliter of the injectable filler is ten million to fifty million, and the content of platelets is 100 to 700 multiplied by 106; and the cell component is at least one of dermal fibrotic stem cell, fibrotic precursor cell and fibroblast which are obtained by culturing and expanding aborted foetus kin or circumcised neonatal foreskin in vitro in low or no serum. The platelets are extracted from the autoblood of a treated patient as well. The invention also provides a preparation method for the injectable soft tissue filler. The invention has the following advantages that: after injection, notable filling and repairing effects can be shown at once, moreover, the curative effect is persistent, the treatment procedure is simple.

A computer assembly for example for use as a network server comprises housing a host processor located within the housing and, a service processor also located within the housing for providing system management functions within the computer assembly. The housing includes a display that is located thereon for displaying the status of components of the assembly obtained from the service processor, and one or more manual switches located on the housing for enabling a user to vary information displayed by the display and/or to alter the status of the equipment. The computer assembly may include a console interface that communicates with the service processor to enable the system management functions of the assembly to be monitored and/or the status thereof to be modified from a remote console connected thereto in addition to or instead of by the display and switches.

An artificial hair restorer has a trunk hair with plural restoring hairs fixed to certain points of the trunk hair. A loop formed by folding one or two trunk hair(s) in two, and the original hair(s) passes(pass) through the loop. A knot is provided close to the tying end of the restoring hairs but opposite to the loop. A hair restoring method comprises inserting one or more original hair(s) into the loop of the trunk hair, and then fixing the trunk hair to a point in the vicinity of the original hair root.

The invention discloses a compound fertilizer for remediation of organic contaminated sandy saline-alkali soil.
