IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2006-04-25
Abstract: The methods, devices, and systems are provided for performing endovascular repair of atrioventricular and other cardiac valves in the heart.  Regurgitation of an atrioventricular valve, particularly a mitral valve, can be repaired by modifying a tissue structure selected from the valve leaflets, the valve annulus, the valve chordae, and the papillary muscles. These structures may be modified by suturing, stapling, snaring, or shortening, using interventional tools which are introduced to a heart chamber. The tissue structures can be temporarily modified prior to permanent modification. For example, opposed valve leaflets may be temporarily grasped and held into position prior to permanent attachment. In one aspect, a structure is deployed in a gutter region of the valve annulus to modify the shape of the valve.

Title: Targets for inhibiting hcv replication
Inventor: MIGLIACCIO GIOVANNI
IPC: C12Q1/70
Filed: 2006-06-16
Abstract: Liver expressed proteins involved in HCV replication were identified using a procedure measuring the effect of inhibiting expression of host cell proteins on HCV replicon activity. The identified proteins and encoding nucleic acid provide targets for inhibiting HCV replication and for evaluating the ability of compounds to inhibit HCV replication. Compounds inhibiting HCV replication include compounds targeting identified proteins and compounds targeting nucleic acid encoding the identified protein. Several of the host genes identified as targets for inhibiting HCV replication were also found to be a target for inhibiting HIV replication. The ability to serve as a target for inhibiting both HIV and HCV replication indicates that such an identified gene and encoded protein may be a useful target for inhibiting replication of different types of viruses and not limited to inhibiting replication of a particular virus.
