Abstract:
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Schlinge zur hochfrequenz-chirurgischen Entfernung von krankhaftem Gewebe aus hohlen Körperorganen und zur Entfernung aller Arten von Fremdkörpern aus hohlen Körperorganen dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Schlinge aus zwei getrennten Hälften, einer ersten Schlingenhälfte (A) und einer zweiten Schlingenhälfte (B), besteht, wobei die erste (A) und die zweite Schlingenhälfte (B) durch Schließen dieser beiden Hälften zu einer komplett verbundenen Schlinge adaptierbar sind; und wobei sich an wenigstens einer Schlingenhälfte (A, B) zusätzlich eine Kamera (E) befindet, über die ein entsprechendes Kamerabild auf einen Monitor übertragen werden kann.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method for diagnosing inflammatory diseases based on the marker MRP8/MRP14, particularly for diagnosing specific stages of inflammatory diseases and/or for determining the risk of relapse and/or for discriminating between diseases with similar symptoms, said method comprising the steps of: (a) obtaining a biological sample of mammalian body fluid or tissue to be diagnosed; (b) determining the amount and/or concentration of MRP8 and/or MRP14 polypeptide(s) and/or MRP8/MRP14 protein complex and/or nucleic acids encoding the polypeptide(s) present in said biological sample; and (c) comparing the amount and/or concentration of MRP8 and/or MRP14 polypeptide(s) and/or MRP8/MRP14 protein complex determined in said biological sample with the amount and/or concentration of MRP8 and/or MRP14 polypeptide(s) and/or MRP8/MRP14 protein complex as determined in a control sample and/or comparing the amount and/or concentration of nucleic acids encoding MRP8 and/or MRP14 polypeptide(s) determined in said biological sample with the amount and/or concentration of nucleic acids encoding MRP8 and/or MRP14 polypeptide(s) measured in a control sample, wherein the difference in the amount of MRP8 and/or MRP14 polypeptide(s) and/or MRP8/MRP14 protein complex and/or nucleic acids encoding the polypeptide(s) is indicative for the stages of the disease to be diagnosed.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method for diagnosing inflammatory diseases based on the marker CALGRANULIN C, particularly for diagnosing specific stages of inflammatory diseases and/or for determining the risk of relapse and/or for discriminating between diseases with similar symptoms, said method comprising the steps of (a) obtaining a biological sample of mammalian body fluid or tissue to be diagnosed; (b) determining the amount and/or concentration of CALGRANULIN C polypeptide and/or nucleic acids encoding the polypeptide present in said biological sample; and (c) comparing the amount and/or concentration of CALGRANULIN C polypeptide determine in said biological sample with the amount and/or concentration of CALGRANULIN C polypeptide as determined in a control sample and/or comparing the amount and/or concentration of nucleic acids encoding CALGRANULIN C polypeptide determined in said biological sample with the amount and/or concentration of nucleic acids encoding CALGRANULIN C polypeptides measured in a control sample, wherein the difference in the amount of CALGRANULIN C polypeptide and/or nucleic acids encoding the polypeptide is indicative for the stages of the disease to be diagnosed.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein großformatiges Scanner-System (1 ) mit wenigstens zwei kaskadenförmig angeordneten Bilderfassungselementen (2), wenigstens einer davor angeordneten Vorlagenträger, vorzugsweise eine Glasscheibe (3), sowie mit den wenigstens zwei kaskadenförmig angeordneten Bilderfassungselementen (2) gegenüber angeordneten, Reflektorwalzen (5), die mittels an den Seiten der Reflektorwalzen (5) angeordneter federnder Elemente (6) gegen die Glasscheibe (3) und/oder eine Scan-Vorlage (4) gedrückt werden. Erfindungsgemäß sind die Reflektorwalzen (5) an ihren Seitenbereichen (7) derart ausgebildet, dass sie nur außerhalb des Lesebereichs der Bilderfassungselemente (2) für die Scan-Vorlage (4) die Glasscheibe (3) berühren und dass die Scan-Vorlage (4) im Mittenbereich (8) der Reflektorwalzen (5) an der Glasscheibe (3) anliegt.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising glucocorticoid (GC)-induced human monocytes, and optionally a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The present invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising GC and optionally a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, for use in the treatment of a disease which is GC-responsive, wherein said pharmaceutical composition is to be administered to human monocytes ex vivo. The pharmaceutical composition may be used for treatment of a disease which is GC-responsive. In another aspect, the present invention relates to the use of GC for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of a patient in need of a GC-therapy, wherein said GC is to be administered to monocytes of said patient ex vivo. In a further embodiment, the present invention relates to a method for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition comprising the step of contacting human monocytes ex vivo with a GC. A teflon container (e.g. a teflon bag) comprising a glucocorticoid and optionally a colony-stimulating factor (CSF) is also envisaged. In an even further embodiment, the present invention relates to a method of screening for a compound which is suitable for the treatment of a GC-responsive disease, said method comprising: a) contacting a monocyte with a compound to be tested; b) evaluating whether the monocyte is GC-induced; and thereby, c) identifying compounds which are suitable for the treatment of a GC-responsive disease.
