Title: Methods for predicting drug sensitivity in patients afflicted with an inflammatory disease
Inventor: HAKONARSON HAKON
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2002-09-02
Abstract: Methods are disclosed for predicting the efficacy of a drug for treating an inflammatory disease in a human patient, including: obtaining a sample of cells from the patient; obtaining a gene expression profile of the sample in the absence and presence of in vitro modulation of the cells with specific cytokines and/or mediators; and comparing the gene expression profile of the sample with a reference gene expression profile, wherein similarities between the sample expression profile and the reference expression profile predicts the efficacy of the drug for treating the inflammatory disease in the patient.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système sevrant à communiquer par l'intermédiaire d'un circuit virtuel commuté (SVC) dans lequel le trafic de transmission est contrôlé entre deux commutateurs ATM. Quand le trafic de communication entre les deux commutateurs augmente au dessus d'un niveau prédéterminé, il es possible d'établir au moins un SVC. Au moins un et généralement plus d'un SVC passif est établi et maintenu par un contrôleur de passerelle de média mettant en application une terminaison virtuelle dans chaque commutateur connecté à chaque extrémité du SVC. Ceci permet aux utilisateurs terminaux de se connecter ou de se déconnecter du SVC sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'établir ou d'interrompre ce dernier. Le SVC reste connecté entre les commutateurs toute la durée du dépassement d'une valeur de seuil prédéterminée des transmissions des paquets de données. Ce SVC est démantelé quant le niveau de transmissions tombe au dessous d'un seuil prédéterminé.

Title: Dispositif permettant l'examen des troubles de la fonction vesicale
Inventor: STOEHRER MANFRED
IPC: A61B5/0205
Filed: 2002-10-30
Abstract: L'invention repose sur le fait que l'étude des fonctions végétatives peut être utilisée pour diagnostiquer les troubles de la fonction vésicale. En conséquence, l'invention consiste à utiliser un ou plusieurs moyens de mesure d'une ou de plusieurs fonctions végétatives pour le diagnostic des troubles de la fonction vésicale. Ces fonctions sont notamment le pouls, la tension artérielle, la résistance cutanée, la température du corps et/ou la température de la peau du sujet à examiner. Il s'est alors avéré que l'évaluation d'une ou de plusieurs de ces fonctions végétatives pouvait être suffisante pour diagnostiquer les troubles de la fonction vésicale, du fait que les fonctions végétatives sont en corrélation directe avec la contraction de la vessie. En outre, il existe une corrélation entre les fonctions végétatives et le remplissage de la vessie. De préférence, le/ ou les moyens de mesure d'une ou de plusieurs fonctions végétatives sont utilisés en combinaison avec la dynamique standard traditionnelle en vue d'accroître la fiabilité de l'évaluation.

IPC: C12Q1/48
Filed: 2003-05-09
Abstract: A novel method of pyrophosphorolysis activated polymerization (PAP) has been developed. In PAP, pyrophosphorolysis and polymerization by DNA polymerase are coupled serially for each amplification by using an activatable oligonucleotide P* that has a non-extendible 3'-deoxynucleotide at its 3' terminus. PAP can be applied for exponential amplification or for linear amplification. PAP can be applied to amplification of a rare allele in admixture with one or more wild-type alleles by using an activatable oligonucleotide P* that is an exact match at its 3' end for the rare allele but has a mismatch at or near its 3' terminus for the wild-type allele. PAP is inhibited by a mismatch in the 3' specific sequence as far as 16 nucleotides away from the 3' terminus. PAP can greatly increase the specificity of detection of an extremely rare mutant allele in the presence of the wild-type allele. Specificity results from both pyrophosphorolysis and polymerization since significant nonspecific amplification requires the combination of mismatch pyrophosphorolysis and misincorporation by the DNA polymerase, an extremely rare event. Using genetically engineered DNA polymerases greatly improves the efficiency of PAP.
