    摘要: A radially expandable artificial valve prosthesis for regulating fluid flow through a body vessel is provided. The prosthesis includes a radially expandable ring frame, at least one valve leaflet attached to the ring frame forming a valve pocket and a support structure attached to the ring frame and adapted to position the ring frame within the bodily passage. The height of the valve pocket is less than the maximum cross sectional dimension of the lumen defined by the expanded ring frame. The valve leaflet is allows fluid flow in a first, antegrade, direction and restricts flow in a second, retrograde direction.

    摘要: The present invention is based on the identification of a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) that is expressed predominantly in the brain and placenta and nucleic acid molecules that encoded the GPCR, which is referred to herein as the hCAR protein and hCAR gene respectively (for human Constitutively Active Receptor). Based on this identification, the present invention provides: (1) isolated hCAR protein; (2) isolated nucleic acid molecules that encode an hCAR protein; (3) antibodies that selectively bind to the hCAR protein; (4) methods of isolating allelic variants of the hCAR protein and gene; (5) methods of identifying cells and tissues that express the hCAR protein/gene; (6) methods of identifying agents and cellular compounds that bind to the hCAR protein; (7) methods of identifying agents that modulate the expression of the hCAR gene; and (8) methods of modulating the activity of the hCAR protein in a cell or organism.

    摘要: Improved wire guide devices having distal anchoring devices and methods of them percutaneously are provided. One device includes a wire guide having a distal portion operatively coupled to a holding body having a self-expanding end portion having wire members capable of assuming a first radially compressed configuration and a second radially expanded resilient configuration. Another device includes a wire guide distal portion operatively coupled to a distal anchoring device having a distal self-expanding suspension portion having a plurality of stabilizers capable of assuming a first radially compressed configuration when constrained by the outer sheath and a second radially expanded resilient configuration when the sheath is withdrawn proximally. An elongate outer sheath with first and second openings defining a lumen therebetween and slideably constrain the self-expanding portions to the compressed configuration. Expanded configurations help keep the wire guide distal portion at a target site within a body lumen.
