    摘要: A method of manufacture and medical apparatus that provides an apparatus useful in illuminating at least a portion of a lumen of a body. The apparatus includes an elongated flexible member and a polymer encasement portion encasing a plurality of light emitters. The light emitters may be electrically coupled to one another without the use of wire bonds, and in some embodiments may be coupled without intervening electrical paths or traces. A maximum cross-sectional dimension of the polymer encasement portion may be less than twice a dimension of one of the light emitters. In some embodiments the maximum cross-sectional dimension is less than or equal to the sum of the dimension of one of the light emitters and a marginal dimension by which an outer portion of the polymer encasement portion extends beyond the light emitter. Light emitters may be arranged linearly, helically or in partially overlapping back-to-back relation.

    摘要: The present invention provides a prophylactic light activated treatment method for subjects at risk of a plaque-mediated thrombotic event, such as acute coronary syndromes. In one embodiment, the subject receives a dose of photosensitizer sufficient to result in a concentration of photosensitizer in the neovascularization associated with atherosclerotic disease to permit effective photodynamic therapy. Light of a wavelength that excites the photosensitizer, but that does not to any significant extent penetrate to an adventitial layer of the blood vessel, is applied to the region of the blood vessel. The therapeutic light dose, which may be applied in sequential stages, is sufficient to cause closure of neovasculature leakage and lead to plaque stabilization and reduced adverse clinical outcomes. The present invention further provides light transmission devices and systems useful in carrying out the methods of the present invention.

    摘要: Porous ceramics are described, which are produced by a) mixing an aqueous solution of a suitable ionotropically orientable polyanion, either with oxides, hydroxides or hydrated oxides, which are present in the form of a sol, of the metals Al, Zr, Ti and Nb, or with finely crystalline oxides, hydroxides or hydrated oxides, which are present in suspension, of these metals, or with finely crystalline tricalcium phosphate or apatite which are present in suspension, b) bringing the mixed sol obtained as in a) or the suspension obtained as in a) into contact with a solution of a salt of a di- or trivalent metal cation in order to produce an ionotropic gel body, c) compacting the gel body by introducing it into electrolyte solutions which further enhance the syneresis of the polyelectrolyte which was originally formed, d) washing the gel body with water and subsequently impregnating it with a readily volatile, water-miscible solvent, e) freeing the anhydrous gel body or gel bodies obtained as in d) from the readily volatile, water-miscible solvent, f) burning out the organic constituents from the dry gel body or the dry gel bodies obtained as in e), g) sintering the product obtained as in f). A capillary frit is also described. Moreover, the invention describes the use of these materials as a catalyst or as a catalyst support, as a ceramic component for composite materials, as a reversible flow filter and as a slab-like sorbent for chromatography columns, as well as the use of a composite material, which is produced from a granular material of the ceramics which are described, as a dental material, particularly as a dental cement.
