Title: A device for puncturing patient's skin
Inventor: CZERNECKI ANDRZEJ
IPC: A61B5/15
Filed: 2003-03-05
Abstract: According to the present invention, the device for puncturing patient's skin comprises a sleeve, a push element mounted on one end of the sleeve, a piston with puncturing tip slidably mounted inside the sleeve, and a drive spring positioned between the face of the push element and the piston, where at the other end of the sleeve a cap is mounted, wich thickness determines the depth of skin piercing by the puncturing tip passing through the opening in the cap.  According to a variety of the present invention, at the other end of the sleeve a indicating-adjusting member comprising an opening for the puncturing tip is mounted turnably with respect to the axis of the sleeve, wherein the indicating-adjusting member has inwardly directed stair shaped limiting members, wich are hit in operation by the fin of the piston, and has at least one indicator of the pre-set puncturing depth located in a circumferential groove in the lower part of the sleeve with external cut-outs. Preferably the external cut-outs have different widths. According to yet another variety of the present invention, the push element comprises a turnably mounted therein puncturing force adjusting member, wich comprises inwardly directed stair shaped members pressing the push rod of the piston in operation. An advantage of the solution according to the present invention is a fact that the invention enables pre-setting of depth and/or force of puncturing of patient's skin for sampling patient's blood for the sake of diagnostic test.

Title: Compositions et methodes de traitement d'une maladie cardiaque
Inventor: CRACKOWER MICHAEL A
IPC: A61K31/5377
Filed: 2003-09-19
Abstract: Selon l'invention, la voie de signalisation de PTEN/PI3K régule un vaste ensemble de réponses cellulaires fondamentales. On a découvert que l'inactivation spécifique aux cardiomyocytes du PTEN suppresseur de tumeur provoque une hypertrophie et, étonnamment, une importante réduction de la contractilité cardiaque. L'analyse de souris doubles mutantes a révélé que l'hypertrophie cardiaque et les défauts de contractilité peuvent être découplés du point de vue génétique. PI3K.gamma. induit la modification de la taille des cellules et agit comme régulateur négatif de la contractilité cardiaque. Du point de vue mécanique, PI3K.gamma. inhibe la production d'AMP cyclique et l'hypercontractilité peut être inversée par blocage de la fonction de l'AMP cyclique. Ces données montrent que PTEN revêt un rôle in vivo important dans l'hypertrophie cardiomyocytaire et la signalisation GPCR, et permettent d'identifier une fonction pour la voie PTEN-PI3K.gamma. dans la modulation de la contractilité du muscle cardiaque.
Patent CA-2499767-A1 (CA)

IPC: E21B21/06
Filed: 2005-03-17
Abstract: We disclose an apparatus and process for visual observation and measurement of aggregated, granular and floating or suspended particles samples, which are gravitationally separated. The first part of apparatus is the horizontally focused binocular microscope with vertical positioning. The second part of the apparatus is the revolving test tube holder with vertical positioning and rubber ring for soft tube position fixing. The process is consisting in horizontal focusing on the visual sample analyzing it in liquid. The difference from conventional process of sample analyzing is that in vertical position the gravitationally separated fractions of the sample will be not disturbed during the analysis and study of the sample. This will make possible to study the microgranulometry samples under horizontally focused binocular microscope. Microgranulometry is disclosed in US Patent application 10/710840 August 05, 2004 by the author. This will make also possible to use different liquids for gravitational separation of particles and granules without contaminating the environments and degrading working conditions.

Abstract: A gas capsule comprises a hollow body portion (1) and a cap (2) including a stem (3) providing a filling orifice (3A). Prior to assembly of the body portion (1) and the cap (2) a stopper member (4) is inserted loosely within the capsule. During filling of the capsule with gas, the stopper member (4) is located within the body of the capsule and, prior to release of the gas pressure at the orifice (3A) of the capsule, the stopper member is moved to obstruct the path of gas from the capsule, for example by inverting the capsule so that the stopper member falis under gravity into a position between the body of the capsule (1) and the filling orifice (3A). The gas pressure is then released so that the stopper member (4) is forced into the stem (3) under the pressure of the gas to form a gas tight seal closing the orifice (3A). The orifice (3A) may then be welded to form a permanent closure.
