Title: Method for preparation and transplantation of volute grafts and surgical instrument therefor
Inventor: SILVERMAN MARTIN S
IPC: A61F2/14
Filed: 1993-09-10
Granted: 1998-01-15
Abstract: A method of transplanting a graft in the subretinal area of a host eye comprises preparing the graft by harvesting from the donor tissue a population of cells in a manner that maintains the population of cells in the same organization and cellular polarity as is present in normal tissue of that type. The population of cells are of a sheet-like form and are assembled with a relatively thin flexible pliable carrier composed of a non-toxic flexible composition which substantially dissolves at body temperature to form a graft. The graft is sufficiently flexible and pliable to be coiled to form a volute (76) without disturbing the organization and polarity of the cells. The method further comprises coiling the graft to form a volute (76) with the convolutions of the volute (76) free of one another for subsequent uncoiling of the graft substantially to its original sheet-like form. An incision is made in the host eye for insertion of the volute (76). The incision in the eye is smaller than the incision that would be required for insertion of the graft in its uncoiled sheet-like form. The volute is inserted one end first into the host eye through the incision and transported to a position between the retina and the underlying tissue. The volute (76) uncoils after its insertion to lie in sheet-like form between the retina and the underlying tissue of the host eye. The incision is then closed.

Title: Surgical depth measuring instrument and method
Inventor: MAKOWER JOSHUA
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 1993-12-07
Granted: 1996-10-31
Abstract: A device for measuring the depth below skin level of a blood vessel that has been punctured in the course of a catheterization or other interventional vascular procedure comprises a tubular member having a proximal end and a distal end portion that is preferably tapered to a small outer diameter. The lumen may have a stepped diameter extending between the proximal and distal ends. A first portion of the lumen is distally located and is of a diameter generally equal to the diameter of a guidewire with which the measuring device is used. The second segment of the lumen is of a substantially larger diameter. A side entry port is made through the wall of the tubular member at the distal base of the larger diameter section of the lumen. Graduated markings on the side wall of the tubular member extend from the side entry port toward the proximal end of the instrument. When the instrument is fed over a guidewire into a puncture wound formed through the skin and into an artery, the wall of the artery can be accurately located relative to the skin's surface by noting the graduated markings on the exterior of the tube at the point where blood flow enters the side entry port and fills the larger diameter lumen. Rather than having two coaxially disposed lumens as above, the tubular member may have a double lumen, one extending the entire length for accommodating the guidewire and the other extending between the tube's proximal end and the side entry port.

Title: DNA sequencing by mass spectrometry
Inventor: KOSTER HUBERT
IPC: C12Q1/6872
Filed: 1994-01-06
Granted: 1998-08-06
Abstract: The invention describes a new method to sequence DNA. The improvements over the existing DNA sequencing technologies are high speed, high throughput, no electrophoresis and gel reading artifacts due to the complete absence of an electrophoretic step, and no costly reagents involving various substitutions with stable isotopes. The invention utilizes the Sanger sequencing strategy and assembles the sequence information by analysis of the nested fragments obtained by base-specific chain termination via their different molecular masses using mass spectrometry, as for example, MALDI or ES mass spectrometry. A further increase in throughput can be obtained by introducing mass-modifications in the oligonucleotide primer, chain-terminating nucleoside triphosphates and/or in the chain-elongating nucleoside triphosphates, as well as using integrated tag sequences which allow multiplexing by hybridization of tag specific probes with mass-differentiated molecular weights.
