    摘要: This invention provides a method for indicating a high or low risk of developing pathology at specific sites along epithelial tissues, according to a model of carcinogenesis and measurements of activated enterocytes. The method determines the presence and the intensity of a nullpromoting environment,null a region of intestinal epithelial cells which are biochemically programmed as activated enterocytes to develop pathology such as neoplasia or such as cancer in response to certain signals. The model predicts that neoplasia can develop only in such an environment when the promoting influence is sufficiently intense. In which case to provide the ability to identify pathologic tissues If cancer is determined to be present, this method enables one to assess the stage of cancer, which can be used to monitor the effectiveness of therapeutic regimes during the course of treatment for a patient. The method can also be used in the field of cancer research to develop understanding of the etiology of the disease in addition to new treatments for cancer therapy. It also provides an opportunity to use the method as a tool to investigate pathologic development such as pre-cancerous states in animal and cell culture models of diseases.

    摘要: Methods of fixing and processing tissue and samples on a membrane by using ultrasound radiation as a part of the method are presented. Ultrasound of a frequency in the range of 0.1-50 MHz is used and the sample or tissue receives 0.1-200 W/cm2 of ultrasound intensity. The use of ultrasound allows much shorter times in the methods. Also presented are apparati comprising transducers of one or of multiple heads for producing the ultrasound radiation and further comprising a central processing unit and optionally comprising one or more sensors. Sensors can include those to measure and monitor ultrasound and temperature. This monitoring system allows one to achieve accurate and optimum tissue fixation and processing without overfixation and tissue damage. The system also allows the performance of antigen-antibody reactions or nucleic acid hybridizations to be completed in a very short time while being highly specific and with a very low or no background.

    摘要: A system provides individualized nullbaselinenull or internal nullcontrolnull for an individual by collecting cells from the individual at an earlier time point prior to the onset of disease, which can be used as a standard for normalcy and a benchmark or reference for measuring the progression or development of any process the cells undergo. This allows study of biophysical, biochemical, architectural, morphological, functional, or physiological differences between cells collected from an individual at one time to cells collected from the same individual at a later point in time. The comparison between cells collected at different times allows for the study of relative responses of these cells when treated with a variety of chemicals. With this system disease markers can be determined that can aid in diagnosis and discovery of therapeutics for the disease of interest. As a result, this system may provide a basis for the production of patient-specific, as opposed to disease-specific drugs.
