Abstract:
A surgical table extension features a patient support structure, a large area base, and a support leg. A first joint having at least two degrees of freedom is located between the patient support structure and the support leg. A second joint also having at least two degrees of freedom is located between the base and the support leg. There is a stop limiting the range of motion of the support leg such that a portion of the base area is constrained to be below the first joint irrespective of the position of the base.

Abstract:
An accessory has a substantially radiolucent frame, a floor-supported base, and a support structure extending between the base and one end of the frame. A second end of the frame is coupleable to a surgical table in a manner that permits the frame to articulate relative to the surgical table. The support structure is extendable and retractable to change the height at which the first end of the frame is supported above the base. The support structures is able to tilt front to rear and side to side relative to the base and the frame is able to tilt front to rear and side to side relative to the support structure. The frame is movable to a compact storage position having the second end of the frame supported on the base. A set of wheels are provided on the base to permit the accessory to be wheeled from one location to another.

Abstract:
A method of stimulating the growth of lung alveolar surface in a lung comprises providing progenitor or stem cells capable of regenerating lung alveolar surface, and then administering the progenitor or stem cells to the lung in an amount sufficient to stimulate the growth of lung alveolar surface therein.

International Classification:
A61K038/18 C12N005/08
US Classification:
435/366000, 514/012000
Abstract:
A method of facilitating the proliferation of pancreatic progenitor cells, particularly mammalian cells, is described. The method is carried out by administering an FGF polypeptide such as FGF-10 polypeptide to the cells in an amount effective to facilitate the proliferation thereof.
Treatment And Prevention Of Abnormal Scar Formation In Keloids And Other Cutaneous Or Internal Wounds Or Lesions
The present invention relates to findings that reducing the activity of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) suppresses an excessive deposition of collagen which is known as a cause for the formation of abnormal scars. These abnormal scars include but are not limited to keloids, adhesions, hypertrophic scars, skin disfiguring conditions, fibrosis, fibrocystic conditions, contractures, and scleroderma, all of which are associated with or caused by an excessive deposit of collagen in a wound healing process. Accordingly, aspects of the present invention are directed to the reduction of PAI-1 activity to decrease an excessive accumulation of collagen, prevent the formation of an abnormal scar, and/or treat abnormal scars that result from an excessive accumulation of collagen. The PAI-1 activity can be reduced by PAI-1 inhibitors which include but are not limited to PAI-1 neutralizing antibodies, diketopiperazine based compounds, tetramic acid based compounds, hydroxyquinolinone based compounds, Enalapril, Eprosartan, Troglitazone, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Mifepristone (RU486), and Spironolactone to name a few. Another aspect of the present invention is directed to methods of measuring PAI-1 activity in a wound healing process and determining the propensity of the formation of an abnormal scar.
