Three general strategies for anti-invasive/anti-angiogenic therapy have been proposed :(1) inhibition of the production of stimulatory factors by tumor cells,(2) blockade of invasive activity, and(3) interdiction of the signal directing the proliferative or invasive command. Growth factor antagonists, such as suramin, tyrphostins, 78, 79 and signal transduction inhibitors such as CAI(see below) and protein kinase C(PKC) inhibitors are all in clinical development. 1, record 13, English, - angiogenic%20therapy

Les tumeurs cancéreuses solides ne peuvent se développer sans «recruter» de nouveaux vaisseaux sanguins et ce processus d'angiogénèse est responsable d'un problème majeur dans le traitement des cancers: la résistance acquise aux médicaments. Une étude expérimentale conforte des espoirs suscités depuis quelques temps par la thérapie angiogénique. En traitant des souris atteintes de divers cancers par un inhibiteur spécifique de l'angiogenèse, l'endostatine, on peut véritablement «endormir» les tumeurs de façon prolongée. 1, record 13, French, - th%C3%A9rapie%20angiog%C3%A9nique

The representation of a general pulse transmission system is given in Figure 8. 1. Here, the information input to the system is encoded in some sense.... This encoded signal drives the modulator, which maps the pulse sequence into an analog wave suitable for transmission over the channel.... At the receiving end, the demodulator maps the received analog waveform into a pulse sequence that is a "best guess" of the sequence transmitted. The decoder operates on the binary sequence to extract the information originally impressed on the encoder. The overall objective is to transfer the information from the input to the output within some a priori specified low error rate, where the error rate is the average number of disagreements per unit of time between the inputs and the outputs. 1, record 14, English, - pulse%20transmission%20system
