摘要:
A log-in resource release system includes a set of lists for managing log-in requests to a processing cluster input/output port from host server input/output ports. Host servers that have been granted memory structures within a memory storage device (“configured hosts”) are granted priority access to a storage processing device's input/output port (“cluster port”). If the cluster port has exhausted its log-in resources, log-on requests from non-configured hosts will be not be accepted. New log-in requests from configured hosts will cause a host connected at a link or transport layer but not an upper layer to be logged off. If no hosts are connected only at the link or transport layer, a non-configured host connected at an upper layer will be logged off. If only configured hosts are connected and only at the upper layer, the log-on request by the configured host will be denied.

Methods, system and computer program product are provided to configure a path between nodes through a fabric in a fibre channel storage area network (SAN). A node name is provided for a target node on the SAN and a port name is provided for each port in the target node. A relationship is established in a data structure between each port name and a slot in which each port is physically located in the target node. Prior to configuring a path between a source node and a port in the target node, the ports which are physically connected and logged in to the fabric are identified by port address. The port names corresponding to the port addresses are then identified. The port names are used to generate interface_ids of the ports corresponding to the physical slots in which the ports are located. A data structure is created to maintain the relationship between interface_ids and port names. To establish a path connection between a port in the source node and a selected port in the target node, the node name of the target node and the interface_id of the selected port are input to the data structure and the port name of the selected port is output. The port name is then used to obtain the address of the selected port and an I/O session path opened between the source and target nodes.

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:
The efficacy of light activated therapy treatment is enhanced by stimulating the immune system of the patient substantially above the pre-therapy level. Abnormal tissue that is destroyed by the light activated therapy releases factors that stimulate the immune system, leading to systemic reductions in abnormal tissue (i.e., reduction beyond the area treated using light), so long as the light therapy conditions favor apoptosis over necrosis. The volume of abnormal tissue destroyed is maximized to the extent possible, reducing tumor load, which reduces an amount of immunosuppressive factors in the body, enabling stimulation of the immune system to be successful.
摘要:
The efficacy of light activated therapy treatment is enhanced by use of additional therapeutic agents. Abnormal tissue is destroyed by light activated therapy, and the associated administration of one or more additional therapeutic agents can synergistically enhance the therapy. For example, the concepts disclosed herein encompass the use of the following agents in combination with light activated drug therapy: (1) agents that selectively inhibit heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90); (2) agents that inhibit the Hedgehog pathway (which is believed to play a central role in allowing the proliferation and survival of certain cancer-causing cells, and which is implicated in many of the most deadly cancers); and, (3) agents for reducing the anti-apoptotic effects of Bcl-2 or Bcl-xL. These agents can be used with light activated drug therapy individually, or in various combinations and permutations.

A point-to-point radio frequency unit/antenna has a flat antenna, preferably a continuous transverse stub antenna, integrated into the housing of the microwave unit. The radio frequency unit/antenna includes a housing having an exterior wall, a microwave radio frequency transceiver electronics package within the housing and having an antenna connection, and a flat antenna affixed to one face of the exterior wall of the housing. A microwave radio frequency feed communicates between the flat antenna and the antenna connection of the microwave transceiver electronics package. There is preferably a bracket structure on another face of the housing to affix the housing to a support.
摘要:
A photosensitizer suitable for use in administering photodynamic therapy (PDT), conjugated with antibodies that are targeted to antigens on abnormal tissue and polyethylene glycol (PEG) or other polymer that extends the residence time of the conjugate within a patient's body. The resulting pegylated targeted conjugate is administered to a patient, and after the antibodies have had sufficient time to bind with the antigens, light from an external or internal source having a waveband corresponding to an absorption waveband of the photosensitizer is administered. Use of an external light source that emits relatively long wavelength light enables the light to pass through any intervening dermal layer and normal tissue between the external light source and the treatment site. Since the photosensitizer in the conjugate is bound to the abnormal tissue, the light therapy has minimal effect on the intervening normal tissue. Furthermore, the efficacy of the PDT is enhanced due to the increased concentration of the photosensitizer of the conjugate linked to the abnormal tissue.
