Patent CA-2697112-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BROWN DAVID B
IPC: C12Q1/04
Filed: 2008-08-20
Abstract: A male reproductive health screening panel is disclosed. In some embodiments, the method comprises screening human sperm using a sperm DNA accelerated decondensation (SDAD) Test, and/or a Sperm DNA decondensation (SDD) assay, in combination with an assessment of the sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFT) of the sperm sample of interest. The method is useful in the screening and clinical management for a reproductively challenged human couple, in the assessing the reproductive health of a potential sperm donor, and in selecting an appropriate assisted reproductive technique (ART) for a reproductively challenged couple. These methods provide a decision tree that employs a patient's sperm test results in a SDAD Test, sperm DFT and/or SDD Test. An automated scoring method is disclosed for assessing sperm activity after SDAD and SDD tests. Also disclosed is an automated sperm processing protocol for both the SDD and SDAD tests.

Abstract: Tissue and other body structures may be protected using a hydrated composition made from free-flowing rehydratable particles or a rehydratable sponge comprising substantially collagen-free dehydrothermally crosslinked thiolated polysaccharide. Rehydration of crosslinked or uncrosslinked polysaccharide particles may be carried out without clumping by dispersing the particles in a biocompatible water-miscible polar dispersant such as ethanol and combining the dispersion with sufficient aqueous solvent for the particles to convert them to a cohesive hydrogel. The hydrated particles or sponge may assist in returning an injured, inflamed or surgically repaired surface to a normal state, e.g., through one or more healing mechanisms such as modulation of an inflammatory response, phagocytosis, mucosal remodeling, reciliation or other full or partial restoration of normal function.

Abstract: A typical rotary face seal employs a seal ring (2) rotating relative to a sealing surface (3) and also employs means to urge the seal ring towards the sealing surface in order to effect a seal.  The seal ring may itself comprise a seal face (5) bonded to a backing ring (4). In certain applications, the seal face may deform significantly as a result of the temperature variations experienced and an undesirable crowning of the seal face may occur. Such crowning may be reduced by employing seal ring with anti-crowning features in which the thickness of an edge (5a, 5b) of the seal face is different from that in the middle (5d) of the seal face, or in which a relief slot (16) is employed in the seal face. The seal ring is particularly suited for rotary face seals used in a rotary valve in a rotary gas separation device.
