Abstract: The present invention relates to novel isolated antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof that bind to human Bile Salt-Stimulated Lipase (hBSSL). The antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof bind to a previously uncharacterized epitope, situated in the N-terminal part of hBSSL and identified as comprising the amino acid residues 7-12 and the amino acid residues 42-55. The 5 present invention also relates to the medical uses of the antibodies and/or the antigen-binding fragments thereof, in particular in treatment of inflammatory conditions, and to related pharmaceutical compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of benzylideneaminoguanidines for the treatment of inflammation and pain. In one preferred embodiment, the invention relates to the use of N-(2-chloro-3,4-dimethoxybenzylideneamino)guanidine for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to human bile salt-stimulated lipase (BSSL) obtainable from transgenic sheep. The invention further relates to transgenic sheep whose germ cells and somatic cells contain a recombinant nucleotide molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding for human BSSL. The invention also relates to methods for producing said transgenic animals, as well as to methods for producing human BSSL derived from transgenic animals. In addition, the invention provides the use of compositions comprising BSSL in the treatment of diseases relating to exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, and for improvement of the utilization of dietary lipids in preterm born infants.

Abstract: Closed water and steam conditioning system for peeler logs in which steam from the boiler house is supplied to an evaporator and clean condensate returned to the boiler. Steam from the evaporator is directed to conditioning tunnels for the peeler logs. Dirty condensate from the conditioning tunnels is delivered to a sump area in which the dirty condensate is screened and at least part of which is directed to shower heads in the conditioning tunnels. The remaining dirty condensate is then directed to the evaporator where steam is generated therefrom. Caustic soda is added to the acidic dirty condensate to maintain a basic pH.
