| 20090206175 | Hands-free fluid application system - A hands-free fluid application system for retaining a fluid supply close to the body of an operator of the present inventive system. A fluid supply hose may attach to a belt component at a connecting means. The connecting means serves to communicate the fluid to a dispensing hose that then conducts the fluid to a spray applicator for dispersal. The connecting means secured to the belt allows for the fluid supply hose to be dragged along by the operator's body thereby leaving their hands free to operate the spray applicator and direct the stream of fluid issuing therefrom. A spray applicator holder may serve to secure the spray applicator to the belt and allow an operator free use of both hands when manipulation of the spray applicator is not required. The present invention eliminates the repetitive crouching and bending commonly associated with use of a conventional fluid supply hose. | 08-20-2009 |

| 20110177038 | Inhibition of Tumor Growth via Peroxiredoxin 3 - Deregulated expression of the c-Myc transcription factor is found in a wide variety of human tumors. Because of this significant role in oncogenesis, considerable effort has been devoted to elucidating the molecular program initiated by deregulated c-myc expression. The primary transforming activity of Myc is thought to arise through transcriptional regulation of numerous target genes. Thus far, Myc target genes involved in mitochondrial function have not been characterized in depth. Here, we describe a nuclear c-Myc target gene, PRDX3, which encodes a mitochondrial protein of the peroxiredoxin gene family. Expression of PRDX3 is induced by the mycER system and is reduced in c-myc−/− cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis spanning the entire PRDX3 genomic sequence reveals that Myc binds preferentially to a 930-bp region surrounding exon 1. We show that PRDX3 is required for Myc-mediated proliferation, transformation, and apoptosis after glucose withdrawal. Results using mitochondria-specific fluorescent probes demonstrate that PRDX3 is essential for maintaining mitochondrial mass and membrane potential in transformed rat and human cells. These data provide evidence that PRDX3 is a c-Myc target gene that is required to maintain normal mitochondrial function. | 07-21-2011 |
