Abstract: Water-soluble plant extracts, and fractions separated from such extracts by chromatography, which provide an antioxidant effect when applied to the skin, are utilized in a method of treating virus skin infections and resultant skin conditions, e.g. warts. Preferred plants are Trifolium, Medicago, Nicotiana, Zea, Pennisetum, Algae and Allium, and members of the order Chenopodiales such as the families Chenopodiaceae and Aizoaceae.

Abstract: A food supplement which comprises in combination: (i) as an essential active antioxidant ingredient, a material characterized by stability for an extended period of time, at least in the dry state, under ambient conditions and which is selected from the group consisting of water soluble extracts prepared from plant tissue and fractions separable from such extracts by chromatography, and (ii) an orally ingestible diluent or carrier.

Abstract: The present application discloses novel potassium salts of particular tellurium and selenium compounds which are useful for the stimulation of the production of cytokines.

Abstract: A novel method is disclosed for the stimulation of the differentiation of bone marrow cell which is based on the administration of an effective amount of a tellurium compound which has a stimulating effect on bone marrow cells.

Abstract: A novel complex of a class of tellurium and selenium compounds is disclosed, which is based on a complexing agent and the particular compound to be complexed.

Abstract: A water soluble antioxidant is obtained from plants of the Order Chenopodiales which has the capability of lowering the peroxide level of the skin. The antioxidant is obtained by a process which comprises extraction of the plant tissue with water and to thereafter chromaographically separating the antioxidant component.

Abstract: A novel method and composition is disclosed for the therapeutic and prophylactic treatment of trauma to the skin. In particular, burns, sunburn and frostbite are treated with compounds that have the ability to interfere with the action of calcium calmodulin complex. A preferred compound is thioridazine.

Abstract: Antioxidant compositions and methods are disclosed that are prepared by the extraction of natural antioxidants from plant substrates.

Abstract: A composition useful in a method for treating a mammal in order to induce memory enhancement, analgesia, sleep regulation and(or) inhibition of the symptoms of senility, comprises from about 13.0 to about 27.5% by weight of linolenic acid, balance linoleic acid. Physiologically hydrolyzable and pharmacologically acceptable derivatives of these acids may also be used. The specified combination of acids may be administered as pharmaceutical formulations or nutritional compositions.

Abstract: An ordinarily delicate microsieve is provided with greater resistance to mechanical distortion by being formed integrally with a rigid frame or by having its thickness built up to an extent where it is significantly more capable of withstanding flex.

Abstract: Certain tellurium compounds have been found to have the ability to stimulate the in vivo and in vitro production of cytokines and their receptors. These compounds may be utilized in the treatment of certain tumors, autoimmune diseases, immune diseases and infectious diseases.

Abstract: A method for placing individual living cells at identifiable locations is provided comprising the steps of:(a) providing a carrier having a plurality of apertures, the apertures being arranged in an ordered array and being sized to hold individual cells;(b) applying a fluid containing living cells to the carrier; and(c) applying a force to the cells to move the cells into the apertures.

Abstract: A method is provided for securing a metallic microsieve which comprises;(a) inserting a metallic microsieve within the well of a frame-like support member, at least a portion of the upper edge of the well being fabricated from a fusible material and the height of the well wall being greater than the thickness of the microsieve;(b) directing a laser beam against a point on the upper edge of the well to melt fusible material in contact with the laser beam;(c) permitting the laser-molten fusible material to travel down the wall of the well and contact the edge of the microsieve; and,(d) permitting the laser-molten fusible material in contact with the edge of the microsieve solidify thereby forming a retaining member which secures the microsieve to the support member.

Abstract: A novel method and composition are disclosed for the therapeutic and prophylatic treatment of trauma to the skin. In particular, burns, sunburn and frostbite are treated with compounds that have the ability to interfere with the action of calcium calmodulin complex. A preferred compound is trifluoperazine.

Abstract: A method for producing stimulated emission of radiation in the X-ray region comprising the steps of: selecting as an active medium a system having the following properties; two energy levels separated by an energy difference .DELTA.E corresponding to radiation of frequency .omega..sub.t in the X-ray region such that a transition from the upper to the lower of the two levels by one-photon emission is weakly allowed or strictly forbidden, one of the two levels having a nearly degenerate partner level optically coupled thereto such that a transistion therebetween by one-photon emission has a high probability; providing a resonator containing such an active medium; subjecting the active medium in the resonator to stimulating radiation at a frequency .omega..sub.1 that is preferably, substantially equal to the frequency of the optical coupling between the nearly degenerate levels but much smaller than the frequency .omega..sub.
