    Abstract: The present invention is based upon correlation of two attenuating lesions of the cp45 strain to specific defects in the genome of cp45. Specifically, a significant level of attenuation of cp45, resulting from its temperature-sensitive and cold-adapted phenotypes is associated with mutation of the L gene of cp45. A second mutation in the gene coding for hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) in the cp45 strain has also been found to be another attenuating mutation. The correlation of these two attenuating lesions of cp45 to specific genes enables several practical applications. It is now possible to create attenuated vaccines directed at other wild-type HPIV-3 viruses and other viruses other than HPIV-3 by incorporating the mutated L and/or HN genes of cp45 in to a target virus genome or alternatively, expressing surface antigen genes from other viruses in cp45.

    Abstract translation: 本发明基于cp45菌株的两个减毒损伤与cp45基因组中特异性缺陷的相关性。 具体来说,由其温度敏感和冷适应表型引起的cp45的显着水平的衰减与cp45的L基因的突变相关。 编码cp45菌株血细胞凝集素 - 神经氨酸酶(HN)的基因中的第二个突变也被发现是另一个减毒突变。 这两个cp45的减毒病变与特定基因的相关性可以实现几个实际应用。 现在可以通过将cp45的突变的L和/或HN基因并入目标病毒基因组中来创建针对其它野生型HPIV-3病毒和除了HPIV-3之外的其它病毒的减毒疫苗,或者表达表面抗原 cp45中其他病毒的基因。

    Abstract: A system for use during a medical or surgical procedure on a body. The system generates an image representing the position of one or more body elements during the procedure using scans generated by a scanner prior or during the procedure. The image data set has reference points for each of the body elements, the reference points of a particular body element having a fixed spatial relation to the particular body element. The system includes an apparatus for identifying, during the procedure, the relative position of each of the reference points of each of the body elements to be displayed. The system also includes a processor for modifying the image data set according to the identified relative position of each of the reference points during the procedure, as identified by the identifying apparatus, said processor generating a displaced image data set representing the position of the body elements during the procedure. The system also includes a display utilizing the displaced image data set generated by the processor, illustrating the relative position of the body elements during the procedure. Methods relating to the system are also disclosed. Also disclosed are devices for use with a surgical navigation system having a sensor array which is in communication with the device to identify its position. The device may be a reference frame for attachment of a body part of the patient, such as a cranial reference arc frame for attachment to the head or a spine reference arc frame for attachment to the spine. The device may also be a localization frame for positioning an instrument relative to a body part, such as a localization biopsy guide frame for positioning a biopsy needle, a localization drill guide assembly for positioning a drill bit, a localization drill yoke assembly for positioning a drill, or a ventriculostomy probe for positioning a catheter.

    Abstract: A system for determining a position of a probe (302) relative to an object such as a head (390) of a body of a patient. The head includes a surface such as a forehead (394) having a contour. The head is placed in a cradle (392) equipped with an arc (393). The cross-sectional images of the head are determined relative to the arc. A hand-held unit (380) optically scans the forehead and the arc. During scanning to generate the cross-sectional images, the optical scanner (380) is used to determine the position of the forehead (394) relative to the cradle (392). During surgery, the optical scanner (380) also determines the position of the forehead (394) relative to a base ring (306). An array (300) for receiving radiation emitted from the probe (302) and from the base ring (306) generates signals indicating the position of the tip of the probe (302) relative to the base ring (306). A stereotactic imaging system selects and displays the image of the head closest to the measured position of the tip of the probe (302).
