    摘要: N-type voltage-gated calcium channels (CaV2.2) are critical mediators of neurotransmitter release and are thought to be involved with transmission of nociception. The use of conventional CaV2.2 blockers in pain therapeutics is limited by side effects. Reported herein is a means to suppress both inflammatory and neuropathic pain without directly blocking CaV2.2, but rather by inhibiting the binding of the axonal collapsin response mediator protein 2 (CRMP-2), a protein known to enhance CaV2.2 function. A 15 amino acid peptide of CRMP-2 fused to the protein transduction domain of the HIV tat protein (TAT CBD3) reduced meningeal blood flow induced by activation of the trigeminovascular system, prevented inflammation-induced tactile hypernociception induced by intraplantar formalin and nocifensive behavior following corneal capsaicin application, and reversed neuropathic hypernociception produced by the antiretroviral drug 2′,3′-dideoxycytidine. Preventing CRMP-2—mediated enhancement of CaV2.2 function suppressed inflammatory and neuropathic nociception, providing a method for treating pain and inflammation.

    摘要: Tools and techniques used in conjunction with integrated circuit path timing information can selectively reduce the channel length of transistors in cells associated with the most critical paths in an integrated circuit, while keeping the overall integrated circuit design within a specified power budget. Moreover, by targeting pins of cells (and thus their associated transistors) that are used by multiple paths, and/or that offer the greatest potential speed improvement, timing violations along critical paths can be reduced or eliminated with a relatively few number of replacements. Paths within a certain timing violation range are selected for analysis. The pins within those paths are ranked by pin criticality, which can depend on, for example, the number of times a particular pin occurs in any path, the timing enhancement associated with replacing a cell having that pin, and the impact of replacing a cell having that pin would have on the power budget. Transistors within cells (or entire cells) associated with pins are replaced based on the pin criticality until timing improvements are sufficient to remove a path from the range of paths being examined. Successive paths, and ranges of paths are analyzed until the power budget is exceeded, or no more improvements can be made.

    摘要: A tag comparator and bank selector for a set-associative cache in a computer system operates in a minimum time so that a cache hit or miss signal is generated early in a memory cycle. The data memory of the cache has two (or more) banks, with a tag store for each bank, and the two banks are accessed separately and in parallel using the index (low order address bits) while the tag translation is in progress. Two bit-by-bit tag compares are performed, one for each tag store, producing two multibit match indications, one bit for each tag bit in each tag store. These two match indications are applied to two separate dynamic NOR gates, and the two outputs applied to a logic circuit to detect a hit and generate a bank-select output. There are four possible outcomes from the compare operation: both banks miss, left bank hits, right bank hits, and both banks hit. The later condition indicates a possible ambiguity, and neither data item should be used, so a miss is signalled. The comparator is in large part self-timed using a flow-through design, as distinguished from being enabled on clock edges. Delay elements in the bank select logic allow the banks to be timed against each other, and current limiters are employed to equalize the timing of miss signals, regardless of the number of match lines switching high (which is data dependent). An address producing 19-of-20 match bits will result in a NOR gate output of about the same timing as an address producing no match bits, even though the former will turn on only one transistor to discharge the precharged output node of the NOR gate, whereas the later will turn on twenty paths for discharge. Although a two-way set associative cache is shown herein as an example embodiment, one of the features of the invention is that higher levels of associativity, e.g., four-way and eight-way, are equally well accommodated.

    摘要: A heart valve delivery system is provided wherein a prosthetic valve is carried on a valve catheter inside a tubular delivery sleeve. The valve catheter has a distal end coupled to a mop. The mop comprises a plurality of flexible extensions configured for releasable attachment to the prosthetic valve. A lead screw nut is coupled to a proximal end of the tubular delivery sleeve and a lead screw is coupled to the valve catheter. The lead screw engages the lead screw nut and rotation of the lead screw causes the delivery sleeve to retract relative to the valve catheter and the prosthetic valve for exposing the prosthetic valve. The flexible extensions of the mop allow expansion of the valve while maintaining the attachment during placement of the valve at a native valve site.

    摘要: A minimally invasive catheter system and method for extraction of a shape memory device such as a nitinol stent from inside a tubular organ, is provided. The catheter system comprises a multi-lumen tube with at least one expandable balloon and an extraction device. The multi-lumen tube has multiple ports, which are used for injecting fluid inside the tubular organ and the expandable balloon, and inserting the extraction device. The catheter system is inserted inside the lumen of the tubular organ percutaneously. A cold fluid is injected into the expandable balloon and the lumen of the tubular organ. This cold fluid converts the shape memory device from an expanded state to a collapsed state. The shape memory device in the collapsed state is then removed with the help of the extraction device.

    摘要: A system and method for deploying balloon-expandable (i.e., plastically-expandable) prosthetic heart valves so that they assumed their desired operational shape. The system includes a balloon that accommodates non-uniform expansion resistance in the heart valve to expanded to its desired tubular or other shape. The heart valve may have substantially more structural elements adjacent one end, typically the inflow end, and the balloon is tapered so as to expand the inflow end before the outflow so that the valve ends up in a tubular shape. Alternatively, a stepped balloon with a larger diameter proximal section adjacent the inflow end of the valve may be used. A method includes applying a non-linear expansion forced to the interior of a plastically-expandable prosthetic heart valve to overcome areas of greater resistance to expansion and result in uniform expansion.
