摘要:
A stent (1) having a generally tubular body formed of ring units formed of a plurality of cells each and being expandable in the radius direction thereof from inside, wherein each ring unit (4) is constituted of the plurality of cells (6) connected to one another above and below and arranged so as to surround the center line (C1) of the stent forming said tubular body, the ring units are arranged in the axial direction of the stent, ring units are connected through at least one site with connector portions (5), each connector portion is formed of curved portions (8) having at least 2 arches and a generally linear portion (7) continued thereto and therefrom, 3 to 8 cells are arranged in the axial direction of the stent per 10 mm of the length of the stent, and the ratio of the length (6L) of the cell in the axial direction of the stent and the length (5L) of the connector portion in the axial direction of the stent is determined such that on the basis that when the length of the cell in the axial direction of the stent is taken as 100, the length of the connector portion in the axial direction of the stent is 50 to 100, thereby high flexibility and radial sustaining force are secured, the stent is improved in capability of dilating a blood vessel, and foreshortening and a flare phenomenon can be prevented.

[Object] To provide a medical instrument capable of more effectively inhibiting a cracking and separation than conventional ones.[Solution Means] A stent comprising a substrate layer 10 of which at least the surface is composed of a metal material, a carbon compound layer 12 that is formed so as to coat the surface of the substrate layer 10 and that contains at least one metal element, a first DLC layer 14 that is formed so as to coat the surface of the carbon compound layer 12 and that is free of fluorine, and a second DLC layer 16 that is formed so as to coat the surface of the first DLC layer 14 and that contains fluorine. The stent being constituted to satisfy the relationship defined by the expression of “A1>A2>A3”, wherein A1 is a surface free energy of the carbon compound layer 12, A2 is a surface free energy of the first DLC layer 14, and A3 is a surface free energy of the second DLC layer 16.

The invention features methods of treating a subject having a lung disorder such as lung inflammation and injury, by administering antithrombin III by inhalation.
摘要:
A laser beam emitted from the beam emitting unit is deflected for scanning by a reflector rotated by a scanner motor. The deflection scanning beam passes through a meniscus lens device provided close to the reflector, and converges the laser beam on an image-forming surface. The meniscus lens device has an incident surface, a radius of curvature of which is set smaller than that of an output surface thereof, with a convex surface thereof facing the image-forming surface. The laser beam emitting unit, the reflector, the scanner motor, and the meniscus lens device are all integrally built in a housing.
摘要:
ATIII is a serine proteinase inhibitor (serpin) with anti-coagulant, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative and anti-angiogenic properties. The invention features methods of treating a subject having lung injury due to burns and smoke inhalation by administering a synergistic combination of antithrombin III and heparin through pulmonary delivery means.
摘要:
Dot width data of a plurality patterns each corresponding to a recording range in one scanning operation are stored in a memory in advance. Each dot width data required to correct an f-.theta. error is used to determine each dot width in one scanning operation. In accordance with the operation of an address counter, a bus switching circuit selectively reads out dot width data of a pattern different from a preceding pattern from the memory for each scanning operation, and outputs the data to a latch circuit. A programmable counter determines each dot width of image data on the basis of the dot width data from the latch circuit. A laser diode driver ON/OFF-controls a laser beam from a laser diode on the basis of the image data from the programmable counter.
摘要:
A blood separation composition for use in blood collection tubes. The composition comprises a fatty acid amide(s) blended with a gel-like material which is the main ingredient of said composition. The amide(s) render(s) stable and less flowable the blood separation composition during storage, allowing it to form a stable partition barrier in each collection tube when centrifuged, with the blood cells above the barrier being prevented from remaining within the serum. The blood separation composition containing the fatty acid amide(s) does not release any harmful oily substance.
摘要:
An optical scanner for a laser printer or the like, capable of forming dots on scanning lines which are apparently the same in length. When the respective scanning speeds of spots of laser beams reflected respectively by a plurality of reflecting surfaces of a polygonal rotating mirror are different from each other, correction clock pulses are inserted in a print control clock signal for each scanning line.
摘要:
The laser beam output from each of the semiconductor lasers is applied to the same print dot, such as each of the print dots on a thermosensitive recording medium, in such a manner that the laser beams are superimposed on one another sequentially at the same time that each of the semiconductor lasers is moved in the main scanning direction.
