摘要:
The present invention is a bioactive, nanofibrous material construct which is manufactured using a unique electrospinning perfusion methodology. One embodiment provides a nanofibrous biocomposite material formed as a discrete textile fabric from a prepared liquid admixture of (i) a non-biodegradable durable synthetic polymer; (ii) a biologically active agent; and (iii) a liquid organic carrier. These biologically-active agents are chemical compounds which retain their recognized biological activity both before and after becoming non-permanently bound to the formed textile material; and will become subsequently released in-situ as discrete freely mobile agents from the fabric upon uptake of water from the ambient environment.

A device for delivering magnetic particles to a target includes an introducer with a sheath. An outer shaft extends inside the sheath, and an inner shaft extends inside the outer shaft. The device can feature a magnetizable mesh having a first end attached to the outer shaft and a second end attached to the inner shaft. The inner shaft can be displaced between a first position, in which the mesh is collapsed, and a second position, in which the mesh is expanded. A system for delivering magnetic particles to a target includes a suspension of magnetic particles and a delivery device, such as the aforementioned device. A method for delivering magnetic particles to a target includes generating a uniform magnetic field, positioning an introducer in the magnetic field, preloading a mesh inside the introducer with nanoparticles, and advancing the mesh out of the introducer into proximity of the target.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to compositions and methods for preventing and/or treating diseases and disorders of patients caused by non-Staphylococcal microorganisms. In particular, compositions and methods contain lysostaphin, altered forms of lysostaphin as compared to wild-type, and synergistic combinations of lysostaphin plus additional conventional treatments such as other enzyme, antibiotic and/or antibody treatment. The invention is also directed to detecting and identifying altered forms of lysostaphin that possess increased efficacy against infections as compared to wild-type lysostaphin, and forms that generate a minimal or no immune response in a patient. The invention is also directed to method of manufacturing lysostaphin and altered forms of lysostaphin, and compositions that direct the lysostaphin to the site of the infection such as aerosolized nanoparticles.

According to the invention there is provided inter alia a medical device for delivering a therapeutic agent to a tissue, the device having a solid surfactant-free particulate coating layer applied to a surface of the device, the coating layer comprising a therapeutic agent and at least one non-polymeric organic additive which is hydrolytically stable; wherein at least a proportion of the particulate coating layer comprising the therapeutic agent and the at least one organic additive melts as a single phase at a lower temperature than the melting point of the therapeutic agent and the at least one organic additive when in pure form; wherein the therapeutic agent is paclitaxel; and wherein the therapeutic agent, when formulated in the coating layer, is stable to sterilization.
摘要:
In an example of a method for making an NO-releasing polymeric composition, a discrete RSNO adduct is dissolved in a solvent to form a discrete RSNO adduct solution. A polymer material is soaked in the discrete RSNO adduct solution for a predetermined time to swell the polymer material and impregnate the polymer material with the discrete RSNO adduct.
摘要:
A liquid excipient is added to a lock solution formulation containing a lower alcohol and an anti-coagulant, antibiotic, and/or anti-microbial, such as the ethanol and tri-sodium citrate lock solution formulation, to prevent citrate from crystallizing in catheters made from silicone. The locking solution could include a liquid excipient, such as glycerol, polysorbate -20, or polyethylene glycol (PEG)-400, along with a lower alcohol, such as ethanol, and an anti-coagulant, such as tri-sodium citrate, antibiotic, and/or anti-microbial.
