    摘要: The invention provides in part methods of treating cancers of a specific organ or tissue by administering a composition that is antigenically specific for one or more microbes that are pathogenic in the specific organ or tissue in which the cancer is situated. The formulations of the invention thereby facilitate activation of an immune response to a cancer in a particular tissue or organ. The compositions may for example include killed or attenuated microbial pathogens, such as whole killed bacterial cells, and may be administered at sites distant from the cancer, for example the skin. In some embodiments, microbial species of endogenous flora or exogenous microbial pathogens that are known to cause infection in the relevant organ or tissue may be used in the formulation of the antigenic compositions.

    摘要: Devices, systems and methods including a sonicator for sample preparation are provided. A sonicator may be used to mix, resuspend, aerosolize, disperse, disintegrate, or de-gas a solution. A sonicator may be used to disrupt a cell, such as a pathogen cell in a sample. Sample preparation may include exposing pathogen-identifying material by sonication to detect, identify, or measure pathogens. A sonicator may transfer ultrasonic energy to the sample solution by contacting its tip to an exterior wall of a vessel containing the sample. Multipurpose devices including a sonicator also include further components for additional actions and assays. Devices, and systems comprising such devices, may communicate with a laboratory or other devices in a system for sample assay and analysis. Methods utilizing such devices and systems are provided. The improved sample preparation devices, systems and methods are useful for analyzing samples, e.g. for diagnosing patients suffering from infection by pathogens.

The formulations of the invention thereby facilitate activation of an immune response to a cancer in a particular tissue or organ. The compositions may for example include killed or attenuated microbial pathogens, such as whole killed bacterial cells, and may be administered at sites distant from the cancer, for example the skin. In some embodiments, microbial species of endogenous flora that are known to cause infection in the relevant organ or tissue may be used in the formulation of the antigenic compositions. In alternative embodiments, exogenous microbial pathogens that are known to cause infection in the relevant organ or tissue may be used in the formulation of the antigenic compositions. The administration of the immunogenic compositions may be repeated relatively frequently over a relatively long period of time. In embodiments for intradermal or subcutaneous injection, dosages may be adjusted so that injections reproduce a consistent, visible, delayed inflammatory immune reaction at the successive site or sites of administration.

    摘要: The method for the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection by the oral administration of defined amounts of 13C-labeled urea and examination for 13C content of blood samples removed at a defined time is effected by a) removing from 0.1 to 0.6 ml of capillary blood from the finger or ear lobe of a patient or venous blood of a patient, in both cases with an empty stomach before the beginning of the test; b) administering an exact amount of from 10 to 50 mg of 13C-urea in aqueous solution with a pH value of 2 to 4 to the patient; c) again removing capillary or venous blood exactly after 10 to 15 min from the administration; and d) determining the 13C content of the blood samples by isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS), and deducing the presence of Helicobacter pylori from the increase of the 13C values.

    摘要: A plating media for identifying Yersinia pestis bacteria having nutrients for promoting growth of Yersinia pestis thereby producing beta-glucosidase, carbohydrate that is incapable of reacting with Yersinia pestis, a pH indicator dye, a chromogenic substrate that reacts to beta-glucosidase to form precipitate, and an agent to solidify the mixture, whereby a microorganism which ferments the carbohydrate but does not produce beta-glucosidase will produce colonies of the color determined by the pH indicator dye, Yersinia pestis and other microorganisms that do not ferment the carbohydrate but produce beta-glucosidase activate the substrate to color their colonies with the color of precipitate released by the substrate, and other bacteria which ferment the carbohydrate and produce beta-glucosidase produce colonies of the color that results from mixing the colors described above.

    摘要: A crystal-violet dye binding technique useful for the detection and differentiation of virulent plasmid-bearing strains of Yersinia enterocolitica. Virulent plasmid-bearing strains of the bacteria bind the crystal violet dye to form dark violet colonies while avirulent plasmidless strains fail to bind the dye and remain white in color. The method is simple, rapid, economical and highly reliable.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides an apparatus comprising an air circulating device, an allergen source comprising an allergen, and a housing. The housing can be collapsible, portable, disposable and configurable. The present disclosure also provides a method comprising positioning an allergen source comprising an allergen in a chamber, distributing at least a portion of the allergen from the allergen source within the chamber, and collecting at least a portion of the distributed allergen. In an embodiment, the level of the shed allergen can be used to measure the effectiveness of various measures implemented to reduce airborne Fel d1 that is emitted from soiled cat litter. In another embodiment, the allergen can be introduced at a desired level in the chamber, and the resultant symptoms of a subject (e.g. a human) within the chamber can be identified and correlated with the amount of allergen.
