Abstract:
A system applies, in a non- invasive manner, energy to a targeted tissue region employing a controlled source of energy, a multiple use applicator, and a single use, applicator- tissue interface carried by the applicator. The system can generate and apply energy in a controlled fashion to form a predefined pattern of lesions that provide therapeutic benefit, e.g., to moderate or interrupt function of the sweat glands in the underarm (axilla).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an expression vector comprising a promoter that consists of FIS binding sites, an UP element and a core promoter. Also, the inventive expression vector may additionally comprise and FIS gene, which is regulated by an inducible promoter. The inventive expression vector can maximize the expression level of a target protein of foreign origin, and can use a wide range of E. coli strains as host cells regardless of the genetic characteristics of the strains. Thus, inventive expression vector is useful in industrial fields requiring the production of various proteins.
Abstract:
An applicator-tissue interface is disclosed for use in connection with medical device treatment applicators. The interface provides a cover to protect applicator components against contamination and may be disposable or reusable. Also included are tissue acquisition features including a tissue receiving chamber defined by a bio-barrier with vacuum ports or channels for tissue acquisition. Vacuum balancing is provided to prevent contamination on the applicator side of the bio-barrier. Locking mechanisms are disclosed for ensuring secure attachment between the interface and applicator. Methods of using the applicator-tissue interface in connection with an applicator are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel genipin derivative represented by formula (I), which has anti hepatitis B virus (HBV) activity, in which R1 represents lower alkyl, benzyl, etc., R2 represents hydroxymethyl, formyl, acetyl, etc., R3 represents methoxycarbonyl, formyl, etc., its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, and stereoisomer.
