Abstract: A method for selectively determining a fungal biomass by detection of a fungal enzymatic activity that is present in substantially all fungal species, such as enzymes involved in chitin metabolism (chitinase, chitin synthase, chitosanase, N-acetyl-glucosaminidase and beta-N-acetylhexosamidase). The invention can be used for detecting a fungal biomass in environmental samples, food products, plant material, building materials, industrial fungal cultures or sample from a human being or animal including blood samples. In particular, 4-methylumbelliferyl-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminide is used as substrate for beta-N-acetylhexosamidase (EC 3.2.1.52). This enzyme activity correlates with the amount of fungal biomass present in a sample.

Abstract: The object of the invention is an implant not requiring major surgery for its insertion or for the partial replacement of any of its elements; said prosthesis can be applied for long-term placement. The implant disclosed replaces the entire urinary organs, thereby precluding any possible anastomosis, said implant comprising a double-layered (7, 8) structure for the artificial replacing elements: tubular elements (1, 3) for the renal ducts and urethra, a reservoir (2) for the bladder, and an artificial urethral sphincter (4). The aritificial tubular elements of renal ducts (1) are connected to the reservoir (2) by mechanical attachments (5), said elements (1 to 3) being constituted and formed so that they can pass from a flattened state when empty to an expanded state. The two layers (7, 8) join to form the tubular elements (1, 3), forming respectively an external shell which is sufficiently flexible to submit to deformation by manual pressure, and an internal pocket, which is supple and extractable from the shell, constituting the reservoir (2). This structure allows for the partial replacement of each of its elements and ensures the long-term placement of the prosthesis.

Abstract: A process unit detachably attachable to an image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive member cartridge having a photosensitive member, and a developer cartridge having a developing roller that supplies a developer to the photosensitive member. Urging devices are provided on right and left sides of the photosensitive member cartridge to urge a developing roller to the photosensitive member. Action-receiving portions provided on the opposite sides of the developer cartridge receive action performed by the urging devices. Each urging device has a frame-like slide support member pivotably connected to the corresponding side wall inner surface of the photosensitive member cartridge via pivots, and a motion acting portion protruded outwardly from the slide support member beyond the side wall. Guide surfaces are provided on the opposite sides of an image forming apparatus housing. As the process unit is moved into the housing, the motion acting portion of each urging device slides along the upward and downward slopes of one of the guide surfaces, whereby the slide support member is changed from a non-urging orientation to an urging orientation relative to the action-receiving portion, so that the developing roller can be pressed against to the photosensitive drum.
