Disclosed herein is a method for alleviating the condition of spinal canal stenosis, including: transluminally placing a catheter in a lumbar artery, iliolumbar artery or lateral sacral artery at the proximity of a narrowed area of a spinal canal; and injecting a vasodilator into the artery via the catheter.

Disclosed is a method for treatment of emphysema by which it is possible to reduce the volume of pulmonary alveoli or alveolar sacs abnormally enlarged with destruction by emphysema. The method for treatment of emphysema includes: (a) inserting a catheter having a balloon into a bronchus or bronchiole; (b) dilating the balloon to occlude the bronchus or bronchiole; (c) shrinking pulmonary alveoli or alveolar sacs on the downstream side of the bronchus or bronchiole occluded in the step (b); and (d) injecting a hardening agent through the catheter into the respiratory region and hardening the hardening agent.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for electroporation with which higher transformation efficiency may be attained than that attained by the conventional methods. In the method of electroporation, cells and DNAs are suspended in a buffer containing potassium ion as a cation and an amino acid ion and/or an organic acid ion as an anion, and substantially not containing chloride ion, and high voltage is applied thereacross.

A medical device includes a tubular body having a first lumen so designed as to receive a fluid from an opening at one end of the first lumen and discharge the fluid from an opening at the other end of the first lumen, and an expandable body attached to the tubular body. The first lumen communicates with the space inside the expandable body and the expandable body expands by the internal pressure of the fluid which is injected from the opening at one end and enters the space inside the expandable body through the first lumen.
摘要:
A method of manufacturing a balloon catheter involves applying a first application liquid, which contains a hydrophilic coating material, to the outer periphery of a balloon which is disposed on an elongated catheter and is held in an expanded state; folding the balloon; and applying a second application liquid, which contains the hydrophilic coating material, to the balloon with the balloon folded.
摘要:
A stent capable of retarding or preventing occlusion resulting from granulation includes: an outer annular body with a circular cross section in which an outer through-hole penetrating in a direction intersecting the radial direction of the circular cross section is formed and which can expand and contract in the radial direction; and an inner annular body disposed on the inside of the outer through-hole, forms a double annular cross section together with the outer annular body at least at the openings of the outer through-hole, and in which an inner through-hole penetrating in a direction that intersects with the radial direction of said circular cross-section is formed. When placed indwelling in a living body, the outer annular body can expand in the radial direction and can thereby support the living tissue with at least the opening of the inner through-hole of the inner annular body spaced from the living tissue.
摘要:
The invention has as its object the provision of a medicine capable of reducing a volume of emphysema-suffering pulmonary alveoli or alveolar sacs by means of a respiratory region volume inhibitor containing a coating film formation as a main component and capable of forming a coating film in a respiratory region, characterized by being used in such a way that the coating film-forming component is administered to an emphysema-suffering pulmonary alveolar parenchyma in a human-respiratory region in an amount of 0.004 to 200 g/application, preferably 0.07 to 20 g/application and more preferably 0.5 to 5 g/application on each occasion.

摘要:
A catheter includes an outer tube, and an inner tube which is disposed inside the outer tube and through which a guide wire is passed via a distal-side opening and a proximal-side opening. The outer tube has, in the axial direction thereof, at least: a first region on the distal side; a second region disposed on the proximal side and higher in rigidity than the first region; and a transition region which is provided between the first region and the second region and of which rigidity varies from the same rigidity as that of the first rigidity to the same rigidity as that of the second rigidity. The outer tube is configured with an opening, to which the proximal-side opening of the inner tube is connected, being provided in the second region.

摘要:
Disclosed herein is a method for treatment of emphysema by reducing the volume of the pulmonary alveoli or alveolar sacs which have been anomalously expanded with destruction by emphysema. The method includes a step (a) of inserting a catheter into a bronchus or bronchiole, a step (b) of injecting through said catheter a film-forming agent into the respiratory region including the pulmonary alveoli or alveolar sacs, thereby forming a film on the inner wall of said respiratory region, and a step (c) of shrinking said pulmonary alveoli or alveolar sacs.
