Abstract: The present invention relates to a column for performing analytical temperature rising elution fractionation (ATREF) characterized in that the packing of said column comprises elastic wires having a good elasticity and a good thermal conductivity. The present invention also relates to a device comprising the column according to the invention, a temperature controlling system for controlling the temperature of said column, a sample injector for injecting a polymer sample solution into said column, a pump for eluting the polymer fractions from said column and a detector for detecting eluting fractions of said sample solution. The present invention further relates to a method for performing ATREF analyses using the column according to the invention.

Abstract: The invention relate to the use of a compound of formula A-B—C Wherein A is a DNA sequence-specific ligand capable of simultaneously and specifically recognizing a sequence common to genes of pathological interest; B is a linker arm, said linker arm being bound to the 3? end of A; C is a topoisomerase I posion; for the preparation of a drug for the treatment of a disease brought about by the expression of a gene and said gene is inhibited by the stabilized topoisomerase I-mediated DNA cleavage. Application, particularly, for the treatment of infective microorganism or virus, dismetabolic disease and autoimmune disease.

Abstract: A wiping device for a container containing a product to be applied by an applicator. The wiping device includes a wiping member and a coupling member configured to couple the wiping device to the container. The coupling member includes a member capable of flexing, bending or moving with respect to the body. In a preferred form, the coupling member wiping device can resist the introduction of the wiping device into the container somewhat less than the coupling member resists the extraction of the wiping device from the container.
