Systems for optimizing anchoring force are described herein. In securing tissue folds, over-compression of the tissue directly underlying the anchors is avoided by utilizing tissue anchors having expandable arms configured to minimize contact area between the anchor and tissue. When the anchor is in its expanded configuration, a load is applied to the anchor until it is optimally configured to accommodate a range of deflections while the anchor itself exerts a substantially constant force against the tissue. Various devices, e.g., stops, spring members, fuses, strain gauges, etc., can be used to indicate when the anchor has been deflected to a predetermined level within the optimal range. Moreover, other factors to affect the anchor characteristics include, e.g., varying the number of arms or struts of the anchor, positioning of the arms, configuration of the arms, the length of the collars, etc.

Methods, apparatus, and kits detect and / or treat vulnerable plaque of a blood vessel. A temperature differential can be sensed along a lumen surface with temperature sensors on a balloon filled with warm gas. Treatment methods include controlled and safe cryogenic cooling of vulnerable plaque to inhibit release of retained fluid within the vulnerable plaque so as to inhibit acute coronary syndrome and to help maintain patency of a body lumen.

The invention relates to an irradiation device and method for the treatment of totally or partially cell-mediated inflammations of the skin, the connective tissue and the viscera, viral and other infectious diseases such as HIV and prionic infections, fungal infections of the skin and the mucous membranes, bacterial diseases of the skin and the mucous membranes as well hand eczema and anal eczema which comprises at least one irradiation device to irradiate a surface treatment area where the wavelength of the emitted radiation to a treatment area is longer than 400 nm and comprises at least one spectral band between 400-500 nm while the radiation device contains means for the generation of optical pulses towards a treatment area with a power density of the optical pulse peaks larger than 0.5 W / cm2 and smaller than 100 kW / cm2. The energy of one pulse relates to 0.05-10 J / cm2.

A bowel control probe and method of detecting and preventing bowel incontinence. The probe has a body with a distal end which is permeable to gas. Conductivity sensors on the probe will establish an electrical circuit in the presence of fecal matter to send an alert signal to a control unit. The sensors may be partially shielded by a removable sleeve to reduce false alarms resulting from moisture. The control unit may issue an audible or visual alarm and may transmit a signal to a remote nursing station. An air cuff about the probe body is cyclically inflated and deflated to block passage of fecal matter and to protect tissue and capillaries in the rectal area.

The invention provides a root of tooth implant matrix containing silicon, calcium, phosphorus and sodium micro-arc oxidation coating and a preparation method thereof, relating to the field of implant material of a dental department. The invention aims at solving the problems that the existing root of tooth implants and metal ions of accessories thereof are easy to dissolve out to cause muscle tissue necrosis and the coating prepared on the surface of the implant through micro-arc oxidation is incomplete. The preparation method comprises the steps of selecting pure titanium or titanium alloy to be processed into the implant matrix and an oxidation fixture, polishing, washing and drying; and preparing the micro-arc oxidation bio-coating with micro-nano porous appearance on the external surface of the implant matrix by utilizing a micro-arc oxidation technology, taking out, washing and drying so as to obtain the root of tooth implant containing silicon, calcium, phosphorus and sodium micro-arc oxidation coating. According to the tooth implant matrix, biological active elements such as silicon, calcium, phosphorus and sodium are introduced into the coating, so that the root of tooth implant has apatite inducibility, the time for combining the implant and the bone is shortened, the part of the surface of the implant, contacted with the muscle tissue, can be completely oxidized due to the design of the fixture, the efficiency is high, no pollution is generated, and the tooth implant matrix is convenient to produce in large scale.
