Adjustable Ligament Anchor
US Patent:
5458601, Oct 17, 1995
Filed:
Mar 28, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/218356
Inventors:
Franklin A. Young - Wadmalaw Island SC
Yuehuei An - Charleston SC
Yuehuei An - Charleston SC
Assignee:
Medical University of South Carolina - Charleston SC
International Classification:
A61B 1700
US Classification:
606 72
Abstract:
The invention provides an adjustable ligament anchor for attaching a ligament to a bone. The ligament anchor comprises a housing having an exterior surface, an interior surface, an intra-articular end and an opposite extra-articular end. The interior surface defines a bore that extends longitudinally through the housing, joining the ends. A member is dimensioned to be received within the bore and having a first end and an opposite second end, wherein the ligament is attached to the first end. Adjusting means comprise a longitudinal chamber opening through the second end, and extending into at least a portion of the member. The chamber has threads and is dimensioned to receive a screw having a shaft with threads complimentary to threads in chamber.

Reversible Gelling Culture Media For In-Vitro Cell Culture In Three-Dimensional Matrices
US Patent:
6103528, Aug 15, 2000
Filed:

Appl. No.:
9/062483

International Classification:
C12N 506, C12N 508, C12N 1104
US Classification:
435395
Abstract:
A gelling cell culture medium useful for forming a three dimensional matrix for cell culture in vitro is prepared by copolymerizing an acrylamide derivative with a hydrophilic comonomer to form a reversible (preferably thermally reversible) gelling linear random copolymer in the form of a plurality of linear chains having a plurality of molecular weights greater than or equal to a minimum gelling molecular weight cutoff, mixing the copolymer with an aqueous solvent to form a reversible gelling solution and adding a cell culture medium to the gelling solution to form the gelling cell culture medium. Cells such as chondrocytes or hepatocytes are added to the culture medium to form a seeded culture medium, and temperature of the medium is raised to gel the seeded culture medium and form a three dimensional matrix containing the cells. After propagating the cells in the matrix, the cells may be recovered by lowering the temperature to dissolve the matrix and centrifuging.
