    摘要: The American Cancer Society estimated that in 2009, 1,479,350 new cancer cases would be diagnosed in the United States of which 219,440 would be lung and bronchus related. The standard treatments for NSCLC include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, laser and photodynamic therapy, all with various success rates depending on the stage of the cancer. National Cancer Institute assesses, however, that results of standard treatment are generally poor with only a 15 percent 5-year survival rate for combined cancer stages. Challenges facing the current chemotherapy drugs include excessive toxicity to healthy tissues and limited ability to prevent metastases. A dual drug delivery system described herein selectively targets the lung to deliver anti-cancer drugs and inhibit the formation of metastases.

    摘要: Systems and methods for the manipulation of particles within channels such as microfluidic channels are provided. In one set of embodiments, magnets are positioned around a channel. As a fluid containing magnetic and non-magnetic particles flows through the channel, the magnetic field created by the magnets can be used to transport the magnetic and/or non-magnetic particles to desired locations within the channel, which may useful in some cases for causing some separation of the particles. For example, the magnetic field may be used to transport magnetic or non-magnetic particles from a core fluid to a surrounding sheath fluid. In some cases, the magnetic field is used to transport non-magnetic particles to a small volume within the channel (e.g., a single-file row within the channel). The systems and methods described herein may find application in a variety of fields including, for example, continuous sorting of cells, removal of targeted cells from a stream of blood, or the arrangement of non-magnetic particles in channels for analysis.

    摘要: An apparatus for preventing hearing loss having a body made of a soft compliant material having first and second ends and a channel extending therethrough, an acoustically limp material adjacent one of the ends of the body with the acoustically limp material having a hole therein aligned with the channel extending through the body, and a component film, disc or other structure covering or sealing the opening in the acoustically limp material. The film or disc may be formed of a high-strength polymer material and may be less than 10 micrometers in thickness. Rather than having a single channel extending through the body, a plurality of channels may extend therethrough and a plurality of corresponding holes may be provided in the acoustically limp material. The film, disc or other structure covers or seals the plurality of holes in the acoustically limp material. The film, disc or other structure may be attached in such a fashion as to behave like a flap whose operation is to close in response to high energy sound waves. The flap is pressed shut from the high intensity shock wave itself. The body may cylindrical in shape or may have another shape to fit snugly in a human ear canal.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for measuring changes in pressure in a fluidic system are described. In one aspect, an apparatus for measuring pressure as described herein includes a test channel (e.g., a first fluidic channel (120)) and a control channel (e.g., a second fluidic channel (125)) that join a measuring region (130) downstream of the test and control channels. In some embodiments, fluid flowing in the test and control channels can be laminar and form a stable fluid interface in the measuring region. A property of the fluid interface, such as the position of the fluid interface, e.g., relative to a width of the measuring region, may be measured, in some cases visually. In some embodiments, introduction of a component (e.g., a cell) into the test channel can cause a change in pressure drop in the test channel. This change in pressure drop can cause a deflection of the fluid interface. The amplitude of deflection of the fluid interface can be correlated with the change in pressure caused by the introduction of the component in the test channel. In some cases, changes in pressure can be associated with a characteristic (e.g., a mechanical property) of the component. Advantageously, changes in pressure can be measured dynamically and in real time.
