    摘要: A unidirectional flow heart valve includes a passageway having an inlet side and an outlet side. A disk occluder is disposed within the passageway. The disk occluder has a closed position wherein the disk occluder occludes fluid flow through the passageway and an open position wherein the disk occluder permits fluid flow through the passageway. A fulcrum causes the disk occluder to pivot off center between the open and closed positions. An electromagnetic control mechanism forces the disk occluder to remain closed when energized until a predetermined net pressure is reached against the disk occluder. When the electromagnetic control mechanism is either selectively deenergized or the force on the occluder disk is greater than the holding force of the electromagnetic control mechanism, the disk occluder is released from the closed position to pivot on the fulcrum in response to fluid pressure.

    摘要: A drive system for artificial hearts and left-ventricular assist devices. The drive system includes one or more implantable pumps driven by external electromagnets. Each pump preferably includes an armature made of a permanent magnet material having a magnetic energy product of at least about 30.times.10.sup.6 Gauss Oersted, and coercivity of at least about 10 kOe.In one embodiment of the invention, a pair of pumps are provided, with each being coupled to a respective ventricle of an artificial heart. In a second embodiment, a pair of pumps is connected to a single left-ventricular assist device.Each pump is mounted to the pelvic bone in the vicinity of the iliac crest. Fluid communication between the pump and its associated ventricle or left-ventricular assist device is provided by a length of flexible tubing extending subcutaneously up from the pump. Means are provided to enable periodic reversal of internal system leakage, and to enable replenishment of fluid lost from the system.Each electromagnet may be operated and powered by a plurality of rechargeable batteries and a PWM-type controller with a DC/DC converter. The electromagnets, batteries, and controller may be supported on a belt or girdle to provide a portable system, or alternatively may be mounted in a stationary support.

    摘要: Compositions and methods are provided for the treatment of diseases associated with mitogen activated protein kinase cascades. In particular, the mitogen-activated protein kinase p38-2, and polypeptide variants thereof that stimulate phosphorylation and activation of substrates such as ATF2, are provided. The polypeptides may be used, for example, to identify antibodies and other agents that inhibit or activate signal transduction via the p38-2 kinase cascade. Such polypeptides and agents may also be used for the treatment of diseases associated with mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades.
