Inventor: DORN JUERGEN
IPC: A61F2/966
Filed: 2004-04-28
Abstract: A covered self-expanding stent (20) can be restrained against axial movement with a pusher (40) within the lumen of the stent that carries a spiral of wire (48) that provides protrusions that are accommodated within a luminal covering layer (24) radially inside the stent body. The protrusions distribute the stress over the full length of the stent. The pusher can be removed from the stent lumen by "unscrewing" the spiral relative to the covering layer (24).  When the stent expands, the pusher can be withdrawn proximally, out of the stent lumen, without any need for rotatory movement.

Inventor: GORING BRYAN R
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2004-02-13
Abstract: Current applications, in particular for resource constrained terminals, may only require access to an updated version of an application, but updates of current applications must typically be downloaded in their entirety. Further, multiple versions of the same application typically cannot be stored on the device, as resources can be limited. Contrary to current application management systems, there is provided systems and methods of modifying an application program for provisioning in a runtime environment of a terminal, the application including a plurality of uniquely addressable logical modules having respective executable methods, where the modules are linked by a set of execution pathways. One such method comprises the steps of obtaining a migration instruction set for coordinating the modification of the application and executing the migration instruction set for modifying a first execution pathway of the execution pathways to create a modified application. The first execution pathway represents a redirectable shared method call of a first executable method linking a pair of the modules, the first executable method being of the respective executable methods. This method also includes constructing an addressing map for mapping a direct relationship between the redirected shared method call and a corresponding private address of the first executable method, the private address configured for use by one of the pair of modules as an internal reference to the first executable method. The resulting updated version of the application is represented by a stored addressing map for coordinating hosting of the modified application in the runtime environment, as well as any associated modules.

Title: Regulation of matrix metalloproteinases by psp94 family members
Inventor: HAWKINS ROBERT
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2004-09-24
Abstract: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in morphogenesis, angiogenesis, wound healing, and in certain disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, tumor invasion and metastasis. MMPs are thought to be regulated by a variety of cytokines, growth factors, hormones and phorbol esters. This regulation occurs on three levels; alteration of gene expression, activation of the latent zymogen and inhibition by the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP). We report here a new agent that regulates the level of MMPs in patient. More particularly, members of the PSP94 family, when administered to patients having metastatic hormone resistant prostate cancer, promote a significant decrease in MMP plasma levels. The invention therefore relates to the use of a PSP94 family member for the treatment of a condition related to the activity or expression of MMPs.
