    摘要: A medical practitioner can specify certain parameters for a procedure that involves delivering a therapeutic agent, while leaving other parameters open. The therapeutic agent can be sensitive to biomechanical forces (or other influences) associated with delivery. The procedure can involve regenerative medicine, for example delivering progenitor or stem cells to a diseased heart using a catheter, whereby unbridled transport in the catheter may compromise efficacy. The open parameters can influence efficacy of the agent and thus therapeutic outcome. A computer-based system can apply stored information, such as from databases, to narrow the possible values of the open parameters. From the narrowed possibilities, an optimization routine can determine suitable or optimized values for the open parameters. The determined values can manage biomechanical forces incurred by the therapeutic agent, thereby promoting efficacy and healing. The optimized parameters can guide the practitioner in the procedure.

    摘要: A catheter for delivering a therapeutic agent to a target site of a human or animal subject can include a substantially flexible and biocompatible catheter body having a proximal end and a distal end. An eductor can be located at the distal end of the catheter body, and a first lumen within the catheter body for housing the therapeutic agent can be in fluid communication with the eductor. A second lumen, also in fluid communication with the first lumen, can extend from the proximal end of the catheter body towards the eductor and can have an output port at the distal end of the catheter body. The eductor can be operable to induce the therapeutic agent to flow from the first lumen out of the output port in response to fluid flowing through the second lumen.

    摘要: A physician, nurse, or other healthcare practitioner can deliver a therapeutic agent to a patient in a manner that maintains effectiveness of the therapeutic agent, via monitoring and controlling shear, stress, or other potentially detrimental effect. A gauge, meter, or other monitoring device can provide an indication of shear (or other effect) that the therapeutic agent is experiencing during delivery. The monitoring device can provide information relevant to delivering the therapeutic agent in a manner that maintains effectiveness, thereby guiding the practitioner during delivery. For example, the monitoring device can display an estimate of shear based on sensing flow rate or pressure. The therapeutic agent can comprise one or more therapeutic cells, such as progenitor cells or stem cells, or some other healing substance delivered via a cardiac catheter to the patient's cardiovascular tissue, for example.

    摘要: Devices and methods for delivering therapeutic agents use a movable sheath member to deliver a therapeutic agent with little or no shear stress. The delivery device may include an outer body being configured to move away from a distal end of the delivery device. The movable sheath member may have a first section and a second section opposing the first section, the second section being configured to hold the therapeutic agent. The movable sheath may be configured to deliver the therapeutic agent by increasing the first section by moving the outer body away from the distal end.

    摘要: Reduced dyes, such as hydrocyanines, deuterocyanines, and/or other deuterated dyes capable of detecting one or more reactive oxygen species are described herein. The reduced dyes exhibit little or no fluorescence due to the disrupted π conjugation. However, upon reaction with ROS, the reduced dyes are oxidized, regenerating the extended π conjugation and causing a substantial increase in fluorescence intensity. In many case, the oxidized dye is generally membrane impermeable. However, upon reduction, many of the reduced dyes are membrane permeable. Thus, reduced dyes can accumulate in cells and/or tissue to amplify the signal. Once inside the cell or tissue, the reduced dye is reoxidized upon reaction with ROS, and the oxidized dye again becomes membrane impermeable, trapping the dye within the cell. The reduced dyes can be used to image ROS, such as hydroxide radical and superoxide, in serum, cell cultures, tissue explants, and in vivo.
