Abstract: A system and method for interactive television (ITV) includes presenting both TV channels and “virtual channels” on an ITV. A virtual channel can be a Web page stored in memory of the ITV (or remote therefrom) and accessed by a microprocessor in the ITV when a user selects the virtual channel number using a conventional TV remote control. The particular Web page can be established based on consumer data, such as demographic data supplied by the consumer or consumer responses to prompts displayed along with a channel. The Web page associated with the virtual channel can be updated or changed by sending data to the ITV through the VBI of a TV signal or via the Internet, through a modem on the ITV.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a compound represented by formula (I) wherein R1 represents optionally protected hydroxy or oxo, indicates ?-configuration, ?-configuration or a mixture of these in an arbitrary proportion, n represents an integer of 1 to 3, and m represents 0 or an integer of 1 to 10; and wherein two or more R1's are not bound to the same carbon atom other than the terminal carbon atom, a salt thereof or a prodrug thereof. The compounds represented by formula (I) have an ability to improve astrocyte function, and they are useful as a preventive and/or therapeutic agent for a brain infarction, neuronal dysfunction by brain infarction, Parkinson's disease, Parkinson's syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Alzheimer's disease.
