Title: Artificial dermis and production method therefor
Inventor: JORCANO NOVAL JOSE LUIS
IPC: A61K35/33
Filed: 2002-02-28
Granted: 2012-04-24
Abstract: The invention relates to an artificial dermis (1) obtained from plasma containing platelets (2) and human fibroblasts (3). Said plasma with platelets (2) is obtained by fractionating the whole blood (4) of the patient (8) by means of light centrifugation and the human fibroblasts (3) are obtained from a skin biopsy (5). The gelation is obtained by adding calcium. The inventive artificial dermis (1) favours a rapid growth of the keratinocytes (6) seeded on the surface thereof in order to form an artificial skin (7) that can be easily transplanted. Large areas of artificial dermis (1) are obtained from a small skin biopsy (5) and from minimum quantities of plasma with platelets (2). Said plasma is rich in cytokines and in platelet growth factors and therefore stimulates the proliferation of the seeded cells, both internally and on the surface. The artificial skin (7) thus produced can be used for the treatment of serious burns, chronic cutaneous ulcers, etc. or as a base for gene therapy through the use of genetically modified cells.

Abstract: The present generally relates to apparatus and methods for instrumentation associated with a downhole deployment valve or a separate instrumentation sub. In one aspect, a DDV in a casing string is closed in order to isolate an upper section of a wellbore from a lower section. Thereafter, a pressure differential above and below the closed valve is measured by downhole instrumentation to facilitate the opening of the valve. In another aspect, the instrumentation in the DDV includes sensors placed above and below a flapper portion of the valve. The pressure differential is communicated to the surface of the well for use in determining what amount of pressurization is needed in the upper portion to safely and effectively open the valve. Additionally, instrumentation associated with the DDV can include pressure, temperature, and proximity sensors to facilitate the use of not only the DDV but also telemetry tools.
