Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of prognostic of the survival of human subject suffering from chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) based on the differential expression of six genes in a test sample of PBMC cells obtained from said human subject and in a control sample of normal cells, wherein said expression level indicates if the human subject from which the test sample has been obtained will have long-term or short-term survival.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a protective layer for protecting skin and tissues in a vicinity of the skin includes the steps of: forming a mixture comprising approximately 15% of dimethyl-vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane with a viscosity greater than 20,000 mPa·s, approximately 25% of dimethyl-vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane with a viscosity between 200 and 20,000 mPa·s, approximately 45% of trimethyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane, approximately 12% of trimethylsiloxy-treated pyrogenic silica, and approximately 3% of dimethyl-hydrogen-terminated co-polydimethylsiloxane-polymethyl-hydrogen-siloxane; polymerizing at least partially the mixture to obtain a polymer gel; and forming the protective layer using the polymer gel. The polymer gel has, at a temperature of 35° C.

The polymer gel has at 35° C., when a stress frequency varies between 0 and 100 Rd/s, a rigidity or elastic component varying from 11,000 to 20,000 Pa, a viscosity or cushioning component varying from 700 to 8,000 Pa, and a cushioning factor or Tan Delta varying from 0.06 to 0.38.

Abstract: The invention relates to chiral separation chromatographic and electrophoretic techniques. The aim of said invention is to obtain chiral stationary and mobile phases comprising an oligonucleotide which is specifically selected by a SELEX method against an enantiomer to be separated as a special-purpose chiral selector. Methods for separating enantiomers by the chiral stationary and mobile phases are also disclosed.
