The present invention refers to a plasma jet device (30) for medical treatment of root canals (3) using an atmospheric pressure plasma. The device comprises a handle (40) and a probe (50) with a gas channel (54) and a first and second electrode (31, 32). The probe (50) has a first end connected to the handle (40) and a second end opposite to the first end being a probe tip. The first electrode (31) extends to the probe tip. The first electrode (31) is a hollow outer electrode and the second electrode (32) is an inner electrode extending at least along a section of the first electrode (31) inside the first electrode (31). The second electrode (32) except for a portion at its end is surrounded by a dielectric material (33). The probe (50) is adapted to be inserted into a root canal (3). The plasma jet device (30) is adapted to provide negative pulses at the second electrode (32) for producing the atmospheric pressure plasma at the tip of the second electrode (32). Disclosed is further a method for generating atmospheric pressure plasma.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for identifying inhibitors of breast cancer metastasis based on a screening with proteins that are specific for the secretome of a chondrocyte, preferably cytokines and/or chemokines. The ligands as identified lead to a decrease of the migration and/or a re-differentiation of a breast cancer cell and/or a reduction of the number and/or size of breast cancer metastases. The present invention further relates to a method for detecting breast cancer metastasis, comprising the step of detecting at least one protein that is specific for the secretome of a chondrocyte, and for methods for treating and/or preventing breast cancer metastasis in a patient in need thereof, comprising the step of administering an effective amount of at least one ligand for one protein that is specific for the secretome of a chondrocyte to said patient in need thereof.

摘要:
The invention relates to the use of aryl iodonium- and/or aryl sulfonium salts of the tetrakis (perfluoro-t-butyloxy) aluminate anion of the following formula (I) as photocleavable and/or radically cleavable cationic initiators in the polymerization of cationically polymerizable monomers.
摘要:
In the present invention a device for sensing and/or actuation purposes is presented in which microstructures (20) comprising shafts (2) with different functionality and dimensions can be inserted in a modular way. That way out-of-plane connectivity, mechanical clamping between the microstructures (20) and a substrate (1) of the device, and electrical connection between electrodes (5) on the microstructures (20) and the substrate (1) can be realized. Also connections to external circuitry can be realised. Also microfluidic channels (10) in the microstructures (20) can be connected to external equipment. Also a method to fabricate and assemble the device is provided.
摘要:
A charge balancing circuit (CBC) adapted to be connected to an electrode (E) and to a stimulation source (CS) is provided. The charge balancing circuit (CBC) comprises an electrode terminal (ET) for receiving an electrode voltage (V E ), an amplifier (A) coupled to the electrode terminal (ET) and adapted to amplify and invert the electrode voltage (V E ) for generating an intermediate voltage (V in ) and a compensation stage (CP). The compensation stage (CP) is adapted to generate an output current (I out ) if the electrode voltage (V E ) lies outside a specified safety range and to generate the output current (I out ) depending on the intermediate voltage (V in ). The compensation stage (CP) is further adapted to supply the output current (I out ) to the electrode terminal (ET) for driving the electrode voltage (V E ) towards and/or into the safety range.
