Abstract: The integral protector comprises a tubular assembly (16) obtained from a textile tubular stockinette (14), covering the member and an external tubular jacket (10) coaxially joined and providing protection and padding effects.

Abstract: Provided herein are compositions comprising miR-28, including compositions comprising miRNA-28 expression vectors, as well as compositions comprising compounds that mimic the miRNA activity of miR-28. In certain embodiments, the compositions comprise oligomeric compounds comprising oligonucleotides having nucleobase sequence identity to miR-28. In certain embodiments, the nucleobase sequence of an oligonucleotide having identity to a miR-28 comprises a seed region of the miRNA-28. The compositions may comprise one or more lipids. In certain embodiments, the one or more lipids are selected from a cationic lipid, a neutral lipid, a sterol, and a disaggregation lipid. Also provided herein are methods for the treatment of mature B-cell neoplasms, comprising administering to a subject having a mature B-cell neoplasm a composition comprising miR-28, including compositions comprising miRNA-28 expression vectors, and/or a composition comprising a compound that mimics the miRNA activity of miRNA-28.

Abstract: A decorative light string clip device is provided for holding a string of lights in a desired configuration on a tree branch or other elongated support structure. The device includes an arcuate member having a pair of spaced free ends. The arcuate member has an outer perimeter edge extending between the free ends. A plurality of notches is provided in the member. Each of the notches extends inwardly from the outer perimeter edge of the member. The notches are radially positioned in spaced relationship around the member.

Abstract: A conductive composition having a conductive component, a glass frit component, an organic medium, a boride component and a platinum group metal component, is provided. Embodiments of the conductive composition incorporate a palladium component and boride component selected from ZrB2, TiB2 and LaB6 and combinations thereof and having a Mohs hardness of about 7 or greater. Embodiments of articles with a conductive composition disposed thereon and methods of preparing such articles are also provided.
