Abstract: Use of at least one protease inhibitor (I) to prepare a composition for preventative or curative treatment of intestinal disorders characterized by hyperalgesia. An independent claim is also included for a pharmaceutical product (A) containing at least one (I) and at least one other agent (II), i.e. an anticholinergic, prokinetic or antidiarrhea agent; laxative; modifier of motility or of viscero-sensitivity, for combined use, separately or sequentially. ACTIVITY : Analgesic; Antiinflammatory. MECHANISM OF ACTION : (I) control (reduce) the paracellular permeability of the intestinal epithelium, by controlling the light junctions, and associated pain. Proteases, produced by bacteria in the colon, activate receptors in the membrane of epithelial cells that modulate opening of these junctions, where opening is responsible for hyperalgesia. Mice were perfused, through the colon, with 250 mu l/hour of a solution of protease inhibitors, labeled with 51-chromium-EDTA. After 5 hours, the colons were removed and the amount of bound radioactivity measured as an indicator of paracellular permeability. For a control, retention of radioactivity was about 2.1%; compare about 1.1% following perfusion with a cocktail of protease inhibitors (or with serine protease or matrix metalloprotease inhibitors).

Title: Medical implant such as a stent
Inventor: BLANK THIEMO
IPC: A61F2/91
Filed: 2005-08-01
Abstract: A medical implant such as a self-expanding shape memory alloy stent with a strut matrix formed by cut patterns in a wall of a tubular workpiece (12) can be enhanced by arranging for the line of the laser beam when cutting the struts (62) to be one that does not pass through the longitudinal rotational axis (10) of the tubular workpiece. Such "off-axis-" cutting can modify the cross-sectional shape and area of each strut, along its length. Such modulation can enhance the fatigue resistance of the stent matrix, or increase the radial force that the stent matrix is capable of exerting on bodily tissue within which it is implanted.
