Abstract: A substantially enriched mammalian hematopoietic cell subpopulation is provided, which is characterized by pro-genitor cell activity for myeloid lineages, but lacking the potential to differentiate into lymphoid lineages. This population is further divided into specific myeloid progenitor subsets, including a common myeloid progenitor cells (CMP), megakaryocyte/erythroid progenitor cells (MEP) and granulocyte/monocyte lineage progenitor (GMP). Methods are provided for the isolation and culture of these subpopulations. The CMP population gives rise to all myeloid lineages, and can give rise to the two additional and isolatable progenitor populations that are exclusively committed to either the erythroid/megakaryocytic or myelomonocytic lineages. The cell enrichment methods employ reagents that specifically recognize CDw 127 (IL-7 receptor .alpha.); CD 117 (c-kit) protein, in conjunction with other markers expressed on lineage committed cells. These cells give rise to a variety of myeloid cells, including megakary-ocytes, granulocytes, dendritic cells and erythroid cells, as evidenced by their growth and differentiation in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une lame de scie à ruban (10) comprenant des motifs de pas relativement longs d'au moins huit dents, produisant relativement peu de bruit et de vibrations pendant les opérations de coupe et présentant des caractéristiques de chargement de dents sensiblement uniformes. Cette lame de scie à ruban (10) définit des motifs de position dans chaque motif de pas et chaque motif de pas est défini par une dent avant non avoyée (12, 18) suivie par une pluralité de dents arrière excentrées (14, 16, 20, 22, 24, 26). Chaque dent de chaque motif de position définit un pas ("P") entre elle et la dent qui la précède dans le sens de coupe de la lame de scie, ainsi qu'un pas accumulé entre elle et la dent précédente positionnée de manière identique, dans le sens de coupe de la lame de scie. Le rapport entre le pas et le pas accumulé pour chaque dent de chaque motif de pas augmente entre une dent et la prochaine dans le sens opposé au sens de coupe de la lame de scie afin de distribuer de manière sensiblement uniforme la charge de copeaux sur les dents de la lame de scie. En outre, pendant les opérations de coupe, chaque dent pénétrant ou sortant de la pièce définit un pas ou une fréquence de contrainte qui sont différents du pas ou de la fréquence de contrainte de chaque dent pénétrant ou sortant de la pièce simultanément, ou pénétrant et sortant de la pièce successivement, ce qui permet de minimiser le bruit et la vibration pendant les opérations de coupe.

Title: Preparation for repairing cartilage defects or cartilage/bone defects in human or animal joints
Inventor: BITTMANN PEDRO
IPC: A61F2/28
Filed: 2000-12-12
Granted: 2009-02-10
Abstract: Repairs of cartilage defects or of cartilage/bone defects in human or animal joints with the help of devices comprising a bone part (1), a cartilage layer (2) and a subchondral bone plate (4) or an imitation of such a plate in the transition region between the cartilage layer (2) and the bone part (1) show that after implantation the bone part (4) is resorbed and is replaced by reparative tissue only after being essentially totally resorbed. In a critical phase of the healing process, a mechanically inferior cyst is located in the place of the implanted bone part (1). In order to prevent the cartilage layer (2) from sinking into the cyst space during this critical phase of the healing process it is suggested to design the device (10) in a manner such that its cartilage layer (2) after implantation is supported on regions with resorbabilities differing from one another. This is for example realized by a device which has a top part (11) and a bottom part (12), wherein the top part (11) consists essentially of the cartilage layer (2) and the subchondral bone plate (4) and the bottom part (12) corresponds essentially to the bone part (1) and wherein the top part (11) parallel to the subchondral bone plate (4) has a larger diameter than the bottom part (12).  After implantation in a suitable opening or bore (20), the cartilage layer (2) and the subchondral bone plate (4) are supported not only on the bone part (1) but also on native bone tissue having a loading capacity not changing during the healing process. Therefore, the implanted cartilage layer cannot sink during the healing process.
