Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for treating brain metastasis by inhibiting gap junction functionality. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that cancer cells expressing Protocadherin 7 and Connexin 43 form gap junctions with astrocytes that promote the growth of brain metastases, and that inhibition of Protocadherin 7 and/or Connexin 43 expression in cancer cells reduce progression of brain metastases. It is further based on the discovery that treatment with gap junction inhibitors tonabersat and meclofenamate inhibited progression of brain metastatic lesions and enhanced the anti-cancer activity of the conventional chemotherapeutic agent, carboplatin.

Abstract: Single well SAGD is improved by having one or more injection segments and two or more production segments between the toe end and the heel end of a flat, horizontal well. The additional injection points improve the rate of steam chamber development as well as the rate of production, as shown by simulations of a central injection segment bracketed by a pair of production segments (-P-I-P-), and by a pair of injection segments with three production segments (-P-I-P-I-P). Although the completion of the single well costs more, this configuration allows the development of thin plays that cannot be economically developed with traditional SAGD wellpairs.
