Abstract: A system for monitoring the advancement of a needle (1) detects the puncture of the peritoneum and of the entrance into the abdominal cavity at the beginning of a laparoscopic operation. The need of such a system is mostly recognized in re-operation cases and in operations on overweight patients with lots of fat tissue. A sensor (3) capable of measuring vibration during punctures is placed and coupled on any location on the needle (1) and is protected against thermal and/or mechanical interactions. Initially the puncture information is relayed to the user of the system via a visual display such as an oscilloscope (6). A computer (8) with communication capabilities (I/O cards) or other means of processing could be added to the system. With the use of a computer (8) the signal can be processed and transformed to other means of display: colour leds, graphs, an audio indicator (change of tone, volume etc...) or a haptic indicator.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel enzyme having  beta 1 -> 4 N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GnT-IV) activity; a gene encoding the enzyme; a recombinant DNA comprising the gene; a host cell comprising the recombinant DNA; a method for producing an enzyme protein having GnT-IV activity comprising culturing the host cell in a medium; and a saccharide in which the sugar chain is modified using a GnT-IV. According to the present invention, a novel GnT-IV, a method for producing the enzyme and a gene coding for the enzyme are provided. With the GnT-IV of the present invention, it has become possible to produce a saccharide having a branching structure which could not be formed with conventional glycosyltransferases. Thus, the GnT-IV of the invention is useful not only for producing or improving glycoconjugate type pharmaceuticals, reagents and foods, but also for modifying the sugar chain structure of any biopolymer.

Abstract: A dose setting device for a delivery system has a piston rod (6, 9) which successively presses a piston (2) into a cylinder ampoule (1). Doses are set by rotating a second part (9) of the piston rod (6, 9) in relation to a first part (6). The two parts are connected by mating threads so that the total length of the piston rod (6, 9) is increased proportional to the angle of rotation, and a point (18) on the second part is moved away from a stop position fixed in relation to a housing (5) The set dose is delivered when the point (18) is moved back to the stop position. The first part (6) can be axially displaced but not rotated in the housing (5), and the second part (9) can both rotate and be axially displaced. The first part (6) is maintained in abutment with the piston (2) and the second part (9) is coupled to be rotated by a dose setting wheel (20). An injection push button (10) is movable between a projecting position and a pressed home position and has elements (13) acting on the second part (9) to press this part to its stop position.
