IPC: A62C5/02

Abstract: A foam production method and use thereof in fire extinguishing, as well as a fire extinguishing method. The foam production method comprises mixing liquid nitrogen with a foaming material to produce foam by means of the foaming material. The foam production method pioneers using the method of mixing a gas produced in situ from liquid nitrogen with a foaming material. As the ratio of the volume of the gas produced by gasification of liquid nitrogen to the volume of the liquid nitrogen is relatively high, when a large gas supply flow is needed to generate a large foam flow, a liquid nitrogen storage device of a small volume can be used instead of bulky air supply devices such as high-pressure gas cylinders, air compressors, air compressor sets and the like, reducing the volume of the air supply device. In addition, the liquid nitrogen used in foaming will release nitrogen gas after the foam blast, such that the nitrogen is also able to inhibit combustion on the surface of burning materials, accelerating the extinguishing of the fire.

Abstract: Devices and methods for surgical retraction are described herein,  e.g. , for retracting nerve tissue, blood vessels, or other obstacles to create an unobstructed, safe surgical area. In some embodiments, a surgical access device can include an outer tube that defines a working channel through which a surgical procedure can be performed. A shield, blade, arm, or other structure can be manipulated with respect to the outer tube to retract an obstacle. For example, an inner blade can protrude from a distal end of the outer tube to retract obstacles disposed distal to the outer tube. The inner blade can be movable between a radially-inward position and a radially-outward position. The radially-inward position can allow insertion of the blade to the depth of the obstacle to position the obstacle adjacent to and radially-outward from the blade. Subsequent movement of the blade to the radially-outward position can retract the obstacle in a radially-outward direction. The blade can be manipulated remotely,  e.g. , from a proximal end of the access device or a location disposed outside of the patient. The blade can be manipulated in various ways, such as by rotating the blade relative to the outer tube, translating the blade longitudinally relative to the outer tube, sliding an expander along the blade, driving a wedge between the blade and the outer tube, actuating a cam mechanism of the access device, and/or pivoting the blade relative to the outer tube.

Abstract: Autophagy is a universal anti-aging mechanism the chronic induction of which can extend the health span and lifespan of mammals. Here the inventors show that triethylenetetramine (TETA), also called trientine, a drug that is approved for the treatment of Wilson disease, can induce autophagy in mouse tissues in vivo. In particular, chronic autophagy stimulation by TETA can improve the metabolic characteristics of mice kept on a high-fat or high-sugar diet without reducing their food uptake, yet attenuating their weight gain. TETA attenuates adioposity, signs of obesity related type-2 diabetes and hepatosteatosis. TETA also mediates hepatoprotective effects against acute ethanol intoxication. Hence, TETA can be considered as a novel autophagy-inducing agent and thus can be used for the treatment of various diseases and in particular for the treatment of obesity, as well as obesity-related comorbidities.
