Title: Targeted delivery via biodegradable polymers
Inventor: ROTH LAURENCE A
IPC: A61K9/00
Filed: 1995-10-11
Granted: 1999-01-14
Abstract: Delivery of bioactive molecules such as nucleic acid molecules encoding a protein can be significantly enhanced by immobilization of the bioactive molecule in a polymeric material adjacent to the cells where delivery is desired, where the bioactive molecule is encapsulated in a vehicle such as liposomes which facilitates transfer of the bioactive molecules into the targeted tissue. Targeting of the bioactive molecules can also be achieved by selection of an encapsulating medium of an appropriate size whereby the medium serves to deliver the molecules to a particular target. For example, encapsulation of nucleic acid molecules or biologically active proteins within biodegradable, biocompatible polymeric microparticles which are appropriately sized to infiltrate, but remain trapped within, the capillary beds and alveoli of the lungs can be used for targeted delivery to these regions of the body following administration to a patient by infusion or injection.

Title: Antibody to aminoterminal propeptide of type 1 procollagen, and assay method using it
Inventor: RISTELI JUHA
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 1996-04-17
Granted: 1999-07-08
Abstract: Aminoterminal propeptide of type I procollagen exists in serum in two forms: classical type I procollagen which is a heterotrimer containing two pro  alpha 1-chains and one pro  alpha 2-chain of type I procollagen, and an  alpha 1-homotrimer type I procollagen containing three identical pro  alpha 1-chains. These intact, trimeric aminoterminal propeptides may be isolated without the use of proteolytic enzymes and the resultant propeptides may be used to prepare antibodies specific for the intact trimeric propeptide, having no affinity for the monomeric form of the propeptide. Such antibodies are useful in methods of assaying intact trimeric aminoterminal propeptide of type I procollagen in serum, without false information resulting from inadvertent assay of the monomeric form of the propeptide.

Granted: 1994-03-17
Abstract: An easy open flexible bag (15) containing one or more stacks of flexible articles (20) maintained in a state of compression in a direction substantially parallel to their thickness. For products such as disposable absorbent baby diapers, catamenial pads, incontinent briefs and the like, the degree of compression within the bag may be as much as 50% or more when compared to the uncompressed thickness of the stack of articles in question. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the bag totally encloses the stack or stacks of compressed flexible articles and exhibits a substantially rectilinear shape. The bag preferably includes an integral carrying handle. The end (30,31) panels and at least one pair of either the front and back (40,41) or the top and bottom (51,50) panels of the bag are subject to tension imposed by the stack of compressed flexible articles. This leaves at least one pair of panels, preferably the top and bottom panels, in a substantially untensioned condition. One of the substantially untensioned top and bottom panels contains an easily visible, unobstructed tear initiating device (67) which comprises a portion of the easy open device for the bag. The tear initiating device can be readily activated by the end user's fingers to create an aperture traversing at least one corner of the bag. Partially pre-erected easy open flexible bags of the present invention are filled by over-compressing the flexible articles to a dimension which is smaller than the interior of the bag and thereafter allowing the articles to expand slightly once they have been inserted within the bag. Preferred apparatus for compressing the flexible articles and inserting them into partially pre-erected flexible bags of the present invention are also disclosed.

Title: Exit spark control for an electrosurgical generator
Inventor: BEK ROBIN B
IPC: A61B18/12
Filed: 1996-06-03
Granted: 1999-12-16
Abstract: An electrosurgical generator is disclosed that includes an exit spark control system. Exit sparking occurs when energy arcs to the patient as the active electrode is withdrawn from the patient. A basis for controlling the exit spark is to automatically change the frequency at which the final amplifier is driven whenever the conditions for an exit spark are detected. The change in frequency acts to lower the gain and efficiency in the final amplifier and dissipate energy as heat. The exit spark control system includes a frequency adjustable waveform generator and a logic capability for determining the conditions when exit sparking is likely to occur. Sensors and an algorithm in a microcontroller are preferably required to detect the conditions preceding exit sparking occurrence. It is further preferred that, the algorithm also control the sequencing of events: first stopping the electrosurgical output to prevent an arc from initiating and then changing the driving frequency appropriately to dissipate excess stored energy. The output waveform may be stopped for only a short time or the surgeon will detect drag while cutting through tissue.
