    摘要: Methods are proved for introducing a biologically active agent into cells of a subject by introducing the agent in a form suitable for electrotransport into a region of tissue of the subject using one or more needle-free injectors, and applying a pulsed electric field to the region of tissue, thereby causing electroporation of the region of tissue. The combination of needle-free injection and electroporation is sufficient to introduce the agent into cells in skin, muscle or mucosa. For example, the region of tissue can be contacted with two oppositely charged injectors, one acting as the donor electrode and one acting as the counter electrode, or a single injector and one or more electrodes can be used. In addition, needle-free injection may be used in combination with suitable non-invasive electrode configurations. The active agents delivered into cells using the invention method can be small molecules, polynucleotides, polypeptides, and the like.

    摘要: Methods are provided for introducing a biologically active agent into cells of a subject by injecting the agent with a needle-free injector and applying a pulsed electric field to the region of tissue to cause electrotransport of the agent into cells of the tissue. Preferably the agent is either ionized to some degree or contained in an ionized medium for electrotransport. The needle-free injector can serve as an electrode by which the pulsed electric field is applied to the region of tissue. The active agents delivered into cells by this method include small molecules, polynucleotides, polypeptides, and the like. Polynucleotides introduced into cells using this method can be used to accomplish gene therapy or to modulate expression of an endogenous gene.

    摘要: The invention provides methods for inducing or increasing the vasodilation of a vessel. The invention further provides methods for inducing or increasing the flow of fluid through a vessel. An electrical impulse is applied to the vessel in order to induce or increase vessel vasodilation or to induce or increase the flow of fluid through the vessel. In a particular embodiment, a novel double-balloon catheter system incorporating electroporation technology has been designed and is used to apply the electrical impulse endoluminally.

    摘要: The present invention is based on the development of a method for cosmetic delivery of L-ascorbic acid-containing compositions to the layer of the skin wherein collagen formation takes place to enhance production of collagen and thereby combat some of the effects of aging and oxy-radical damage on skin. Sufficient electric pulses applied to a region of skin surface temporarily create new pathways through the lipid skin barrier, thereby delivering an L-ascorbic acid-containing composition through the lipid skin barrier and enhancing production of collagen in the region of the skin so treated. A handheld electrical pulser apparatus, optionally table-top adaptable, and methods of use for cosmetic treatment of degenerative skin conditions are provided by the invention.
