Abstract: An apparatus for sealing a passage through tissue includes an elongate shaft and a cylindrical plug disposed on a distal end of the shaft, the plug including a helical thread on its outer surface. Intestinal submucosa may be secured to the plus, e.g., in a cavity in its distal end, that may be delivered into the passage. Alternatively, the plug may be formed from a bioabsorbable material and may be released from the shaft within the passage. The plug is threaded into the passage, thereby engaging the tissue to seal the passage. The shaft is rotated until it engages a blood vessel within the tissue while monitoring blood flow through the vessel. The shaft is rotated to thread the plug into the passage until blood flow ceases through the vessel, whereupon rotation of the shaft is reversed to back the plug until blood flow through the vessel resumes.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of identifying a disease treat-able with modulators of differentially expressed genes in a disease, including at least PARP modulators, by identifying the level of expression of differentially expressed genes, including at least PARP, in a plurality of samples from a population, making a decision regarding identifying the disease treatable by modulators to the differentially expressed genes wherein the decision is made based on the level of expression of the differentially expressed genes. The method can further comprise treating the disease in a subject population with modulators of identified differentially expressed genes. The methods relate to identifying up-regulated expression of identified differentially-expressed genes in a disease and making a decision regarding the treatment of the disease. The level of expression of the differentially expressed genes in a disease can also help in determining the efficacy of the treatment with modulators to the differentially expressed genes.

Abstract: This invention refers to a process for purifying sugar syrup, usually called liquid sugar, prepared with raw granulated cane sugar, in order to obtain a product called purified liquid sugar, with a degree of purity, referred to the content of ashes and color, similar or greater that the purity of a syrup prepared from refined granulated cane sugar, which is equivalent to a content of ICUMSA conductimetric ashes below 0.04% and a color of less than 45 ICUMSA units. The increase in direct reducing sugars content in the product is less than 0.2% with respect to the content of reducing sugars present in raw granulated cane sugar used as raw material for this process, and the pH is kept in the range of 6.0 to 7.5. The process consists of dissolving raw granulated sugar in order to obtain a syrup, filtering, primary bleaching by ion exchange with strong base anionic type resins, demineralizing and complementary bleaching by ion exchange with cationic- and anionic-type resins packed in a mixed bed column, polishing of the syrup by contact with an adsorbent powder material and filtering, and treatment with ultra violet rays.
