Abstract: A process and device are disclosed for carrying out in particular quantitative fluorescence immunity tests by means of evanescent field excitation, possibly on the basis of various known biochemical assays of systems generally composed of receptor-ligands. However, antibody-antigen systems are preferably evaluated. The invention should enable quantitative fluorescence immunity tests with various known biochemical assays to be carried out with a very simple device. For that purpose, a light source is used which emits rays of an almost monochromatic light having a wavelength which causes a marking substance bound to the antibody to become fluorescent. The light rays are directed at an angle alpha determined by a depth of penetration d previously determined for the evanescent field onto a boundary surface between an optically transparent base plate made of a material with a refraction index n1 is higher than the refraction index n2 of the material above the boundary surface and a cuvette-shaped sample-receiving area. The sample receiving area is covered at the side opposite to the base plate by a covering plate and a detector for sensing fluorescent light is arranged at the same side of the base plate as the light source.

Abstract: A method for improving the healing response of epithelialized tissue (e.g., skin, mucosae) to acute traumatic injury is disclosed. The method includes employing a tetracycline compound, having substantially no antibacterial activity, to improve the capacity of the epithelialized tissue to heal acute wounds. Specifically, the method involves increasing the rate of collagen accumulation of the healing epithelialized tissue above that associated with wound healing in the individual. The method decreases proteolytic activity in the epithelialized tissue by means of the tetracycline compound, most commonly decreasing collagenolytic activity and/or decreasing gelatinolytic activity. Collagenase and gelatinase activity have been shown to be decreased by the method of the invention. Preferably, the method is employed to improve the wound healing capacity of human or animal subjects in whom such capacity is impaired. Also, the non-antibiotic tetracycline is preferably administered topically at the site of the wound.

Abstract: An imaging device comprises a semiconductor substrate including an array of pixel cells. Each pixel cell comprising an individually addressable pixel circuit for accumulating charge resulting from radiation incident on a pixel detector. The pixel circuit and the pixel detector can either be implemented on a single substrate, or on two substrates bonded together. The charge storage device can be a transistor, for example one of a pair of FETs connected as a cascode amplification stage. An imaging plane can be made up of one imaging device or a plurality of imaging devices tiled to form a mosaic. The imaging devices may be configured as a slot for certain applications, the slit or slot being scanned over the imaging plane. Control electronics can include addressing logic for addressing individual pixel circuits for reading accumulated charge from the pixel circuits. Imaging optimisation can be achieved by determining maximum and minimum charge values for pixels for display, assigning extreme grey scale or colour values to the maximum and minimum charge values and allocating grey scale or colour values to an individual pixel according to a sliding scale between the extreme values. Scattered radiation can be detected and discarded by comparing the detected pixel value to a threshold value related to a minimum detected charge value expected for directly incident radiation and discarding detected pixel values less than said threshold value.
