Abstract: An indwelling ureteral stent positioning apparatus (10) is provided for allowing single intrusion placement of a stent (20) in the ureter of a patient. The apparatus is pre-assembled and includes a wire guide (12) with floppy tip (14). The stent (20) is positioned about the wire guide (12) adjacent to the floppy tip (14) of the wire guide (12), and is adjustably situated on the wire guide (12) to expose a pre-determined length of the floppy tip (14) for insertion into the patient. The stent (20) is a dual open-ended tubular stent having a resilient retentive curved circular or pigtail shape at each end for retention in the kidney and bladder. A positioner (25) is conveyed on the wire stent until the end of the positioner abuts the anatomically distal end (24) of the stent (20). A pin-vise clamp (30) abuts the external end of the positioner (25) and releasably engages the wire guide (12) to stabilize the apparatus (10) during insertion. When used to position the stent (20) within the ureter, the apparatus (10) is conveyed along the ureter until the floppy tip (14) is within the renal collecting system. The positioner (25) is advanced along the wire guide (12) to push the anatomically proximal end (23) of the stent (20) over and beyond the floppy tip (14) so that the retentive coil forms within the kidney. The pin-vise clamp (30) is released to allow the wire guide (12) to be withdrawn until it passes the anatomically distal end (24) of the stent (20), wherein the retentive coil shape is formed within the bladder. With the stent fully indwelling, the positioner (25) and wire guide (12) are removed from the patient. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An easy-open pack comprises a tray 5 supporting a product on one side and having its reverse side covered by a multi-layer first film 1 The product is held on the tray 5 by a second film 6. The first film 1 is bonded to the second film 6 over a portion of the films projecting laterally outwardly beyond the rim of the tray 5. The multi-layer structure of the first film 1 has a bond 4 of low bond strength between a thin upper part 3 and a relatively thicker lower part 2 thereof. Thus the second film 6 and the upper portion 3 of the first film 1 can be delaminated from the remainder of the first film 1 and can be ruptured by penetration of the upper portion 3 by the corner of the rim of the tray 5. This delamination is assisted by a cut 7 in the bottom film extending diagonally across a corner of the pack.

Abstract: A DNA containing a gene which codes for aspartokinase III originating in Escherichia bacteria and which has in the coding region a mutation which releases the feedback inhibition by lysine on the aspartokinase III, a recombinant DNA wherein the DNA is linked to a vector DNA capable of autonomous replication in Escherichia bacteria, a microorganism belonging to the genus Escherichia which has been transformed by the introduction of the above mentioned recombinant DNA into the cells thereof, and a method for the production of L-threonine which comprises culturing the microorganism in a fermentation medium, producing and accumulating L-threonine in the culture medium, and collecting the L-threonine from said culture medium. Escherichia bacteria-derived AK III genes are obtained which sufficiently release the feedback inhibition due to lysine. Introduction of these genes into threonine-producing bacteria results in new threonine-producing bacteria which are much improved in their threonine production over those of the prior art. Use of these threonine-producing bacteria provides a much more excellent method for the production of L-threonine by fermentation than the conventional methods.

Abstract: A method of monitoring compliance of a patient that has been placed on a medication maintenance program with a prescribed medication dosage by determining a normalized urine medication concentration. An unadulterated urine sample is obtained from the patient. The urine medication concentration and urine specific gravity are measured. The normalized urine medication concentration is calculated as a function of the measured medication concentration in the urine and the urine specific gravity. The calculated normalized urine medication concentration is compared with an expected medication concentration value for the patient for the maintenance program prescribed to determine any significant differences therebetween as an indication of noncompliance. Alternatively, a urinary-parameter normalized urine medication concentration is calculated as a function of the measured medication concentration in the urine, the urine specific gravity and at least one selected pharmacokinetic parameter of the medication. The calculated urinary-parameter normalized urine medication concentration is compared with an expected medication concentration value for an average compliant patient for the maintenance program prescribed to determine any significant differences therebetween as an indication of noncompliance.
