Abstract: L'invention concerne un système de biopsie permettant de prélever des échantillons de tissu de biopsie provenant de différentes régions du corps. Ledit systeme de biopsie comprend une unité de charge à usage unique doté d'un ensemble trocart et d'un ensemble couteau. Un dispositif de commande de trocart est connecté de manière fonctionnelle à l'ensemble trocart, et peut être actionné de façon à faire passer le trocart d'une position rétractée à des positions avancées. Ledit dispositif de commande de trocart est dégagé de l'ensemble trocart avant le déclenchement d'un mécanisme d'activation permettant de faire avancer ledit trocart dans une masse de tissu cible, afin de réduire son frottement sur le trocart pendant ladite activation. Un dispositif de commande de couteau est relié de manière fonctionnelle à l'ensemble couteau de sorte que lorsqu'on l'actionne, ledit couteau tourne et avance axialement autour du trocart.

Abstract: A package for use in microwave ovens is disclosed in its preferred form of a flexible, tubular bag (18) including expandable side walls (26) interconnected between bottom and top walls (20, 22), an openable end (28), and a permanent end wall (24). The side walls (26) include pleats (26a, 26b, 26c, 26d) which are folded in a collapsed condition of the bag (18) and expand due to internal expansion forces generated by the popping of kernels and the creation of water vapor. In a preferred form, the bag (18) is formed from a single layer of flexible, greaseproof paper of highly refined raw fibers of 100% chemical softwood pulp and having a basis weight in the order of 35 lb/ream. The single layer of paper forming the bag (18) provides greaseproof properties in storage, transportation, and cooking throughout the thickness of the paper to prevent wicking and leaking of grease or oil through the single layer. The bag (18) in a preferred form includes grease protectors (42a, 42b, 42c, 42d) located inside of the bag (18) for sealing the bottom and top walls (20, 22) to the pleats (26a, 26b, 26c, 26d) adjacent to their respective connecting edges and in a most preferred form further includes grease protectors (44a, 44b) outside of the bag (18) for sealing the first and second pleats (26a, 26b) together and the third and fourth pleats (26c, 26d) together adjacent to their respective connecting edges. The grease protectors (42a, 42b, 42c, 42d, 44a, 44b) seal the surfaces of the bag (18) just above and adjacent the connecting edges to block the flow of grease to prevent grease wicking or leaking from the bag (18).

Abstract: The present invention features prognostic methods useful in assessing patients who have received a transplant and reagents, optionally packaged as kits or organized as arrays, that can be used to carry out those methods. The inventions are based, in part, on our analysis of gene expression in renal allografts and clinical parameters, such as the age of the donor. The clinical parameters include one or more variables associated with the recipient (e.g., the recipient~s age and/or race); one or more variables associated with the graft (e.g., whether the graft is obtained from a living donor or a cadaver and the ischemic time); and variables associated with the donor (e.g., the donor~s age and/or race). The genes that can be assessed include those encoding agents that mediate inflammation, immune activation, and cell death (we may refer to these genes below as ~inflammatory~, ~immune~ or ~cytoprotective~). Surprisingly, we found that the levels of gene expression could predict the occurrence of DGF, AR, and the quality of later graft function even when analyzed shortly after the transplant was performed (e.g., shortly after vascular anastomosis and tissue reperfusion). We also found that clinical parameters available at the time of transplantation correlate with decreased graft health and can be considered in combination with gene expression to evaluate a patient~s risk for an adverse outcome.
