A surgical clip applier with scissor-type operating handle and clip applying cartridge in which handle has housing of upper and lower shells that defines socket for receiving cartridge, includes a lever arm actuated linear translator for linear reciprocating movement delivered to the cartridge, and an anti-backup mechanism for full forward and release strokes of the handle, and in which cartridge includes jaws for applying clips, safety means to ensure opening of jaws for each cycle, a puller bar for receiving motion from handle and timing of jaw operation to clip feed, a magazine for feeding clips to jaws in proper sequence, and a lockout mechanism to render applier inoperative after using last clip.

An automatic safe disposable blood sampling device includes a casing with a launching chamber formed therein. The launching chamber has a lancet needle-exiting hole at a front end thereof; a lancet needle arranged inside the launching chamber; a spring; a launching mechanism composed of the spring and a catch-launching mechanism; a press-launching mechanism provided on the casing; and a self-locking mechanism composed of barbs provided on the press-launching mechanism and self-locking hooks or notches provided on the casing which engage corresponding barbs. When pressed, the press-launching mechanism triggers the catch-launching mechanism, to disengage the lancet needle from the casing. The spring pushes the lancet needle so as to launch the lancet needle. During forward movement of the press-launching mechanism, the barbs pass across the self-locking hooks or notches. In the process of retraction, the barbs are locked with the self-locking hooks or notches and cannot return to their initial states.

The invention relates to monitoring of pain-related responses in a patient in order to detect the level of pain experienced by the patient. At least one first measurement signal is acquired from the patient and at least one of the signals is transformed into a normalized signal having a predetermined value range. Based on the at least one normalized signal obtained in this way, a threshold condition is set and a rate at which at least one second measurement signal fulfills the threshold condition is monitored, wherein each of the at least one second measurement signal is derivable from a corresponding normalized signal and indicative of pain-related activity in the patient. The level of pain experienced by the patient depends on the rate monitored.

A system for independent component analysis includes a feedback mechanism based on a plasticity rule, and an electro-kinetic induced particle chain, wherein the feedback mechanism and the electro-kinetic induced particle chain is utilized to extract independent components from a data set or data stream. The electro-kinetic induced particle chain is generally composed of a plurality of interconnected nanoconnections (e.g., nanoparticles) disposed between at least two electrodes in a solution, including for example one or more pre-synaptic electrodes and one or more post-synaptic electrodes. The feedback mechanism generally provides feedback to one or more particles within the electro-kinetic induced particle chain, while the plasticity rule can be non-linear in nature. The feedback mechanism also provides for one or more evaluate phases and one or more feedback phases.

A clip applier of handle and cartridge for applying clips in surgical procedures with handle preferably a scissors type defined by a housing of shell members containing a cam operated linear translator actuated by handle levers, an anti-backup mechanism limiting handle lever movement to full pull and release strokes while preventing partial pull or release handle strokes, and with cartridge fitted with lockout mechanism to disable applier after last clip is used in surgery, with a puller bar lock to hold puller bar position in cartridge prior to assembly with handle, a detent spring mounted in cartridge cover member as part of clip handling mechanism, and a rapid-fire pawl as part of clip handling mechanism to prevent cartridge jamming when clips are applied in rapid succession.

Cripto, a developmental oncoprotein, antagonizes activin and TGF-b signaling by forming a complex with activin and TGF-b and their type II receptors. This complex precludes the formation of a functional activin/TGF-b•type II•type I complex, thereby blocking the signaling of activin and TGF-b. Cripto may be generally capable of blocking antiproliferative Smad2/3 signals and provides a novel mechanism of oncogenic action with multiple therapeutic implications. Inhibiting the formation of Cripto and activin/TGF-b complex may enhance antiproliferative effects of activin and TGF-b.

The invention belongs to the technical field of medicines, in particular to Pt+si-GPX4(at)IONPs and FA/Pt+si-GPX4(at)IONPs nano-particles as well as a preparation method and an application thereof.

The invention discloses a negative Poisson's ratio structure based on a rotating rod unit. The structure comprises a plurality of rotating rod units, wherein the plurality of rotating rod units are periodically arranged and combined in a plane; each rotating rod unit comprises two flexible curved beam units, four bent rods and two straight rods, wherein the two flexible curved beam units are connected between the two straight rods and are symmetrically distributed, the four bent rods are connected to the two flexible curved beam units and are symmetrically distributed, the rotating rod units which are adjacent left and right are directly connected through symmetrical bent rod end parts, and the rotating rod units which are adjacent up and down are directly connected through symmetrical straight rod end parts. The negative Poisson's ratio structure based on the rotating rod unit is simple and effective and good in manufacturability, and has the advantages of being small in stress concentration force and facilitating energy storage and conversion.

The present invention belongs to the field of genetic treating medicine of tumor, and is antitumor genetic transcription regulatory medicine. The medicine component consists of 15-40 nucleotides, contains decoy nucleic acid with specific sequence 5í»-SCCNNNVSS-3í», may be combined specifically with transcription factor AP-2 via competition with several genes containing cis element with the factor combining site, and can regulate gene expression and suppress malignant amplification of tumor to treat tumors.

A fluid transfer device or connection with a fluid transfer tip that has a tapered friction fitting for a corresponding hub. A lever member is pivotally mounted to move relative to the fluid transfer tip. A latch such as a screw thread is mounted on the lever member to engage the hub and provide a positive connection e.g., screw fit in addition to the friction fitting. The lever member may optionally be resiliently biased by a spring. The hub is disconnected from the tip by pivoting the lever member to release the positive connection with the hub and to subsequently release the hub from the friction fitting.
