Abstract: Certain embodiments are directed to a bedding stabilizing device comprising a body that is configured for placement under a mattress and across the width having a first end positionable at one side of a mattress and second end positionable at the opposite side.

Abstract: This invention provides an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding an alternatively spliced human prostate-specific membrane antigen. This invention provides an isolated nucleic acid comprising a promoter sequence normally associated with the transcription of a gene encoding a human prostate-specific membrane antigen. This invention provides an isolated polypeptide having the biological activity of an alternatively spliced prostate-specific membrane antigen. This invention provides a method of detecting a nucleic acid encoding an alternatively spliced human prostate-specific membrane antigen and a method of detecting a prostate tumor cell in a subject. Lastly, this invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound in a therapeutically effective amount and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a method of making prostate cells susceptible to a cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agent.

Abstract: A flapper valve and a method of making the same that does not require bearing assembly. More particularly, the flapper valve includes a shaft having one or more flap portions and one or more bearing portions molded in place on the shaft as a unitary structure. The bearing portions are separated from adjacent flap portions and/or the shaft thereby forming a bearing that rotates independently of flap portions on the shaft. Accordingly, the flapper valve with mold-in-place bearings does not require bearings to be separately assembled or installed prior to installation of the valve.

Abstract: This invention provides a method of administering methotrexate triglutamate (MTXglu3), an inhibitor of the neurocarboxypeptidase activity of prostate specific membrane antigen, to a subject so as to inhibit release of glutamate by N-acetylaspartylglutamic acid (NAAG) hydrolysis in the subject.

Abstract: A denture cleaning composition comprises an acidic component which gives an acidic solution when the composition is mixed with water and a neutralizing component having a protective coating which causes the neutralizing component to be released over an interval of time to neutralize the acidic solution. A bleaching agent may also be included.
