8 results about "Paraplegia" patented technology

Paraplegia is an impairment in motor or sensory function of the lower extremities. The word comes from Ionic Greek παραπληγίη) "half-stricken". It is usually caused by spinal cord injury or a congenital condition that affects the neural (brain) elements of the spinal canal. The area of the spinal canal that is affected in paraplegia is either the thoracic, lumbar, or sacral regions. If four limbs are affected by paralysis, tetraplegia or quadriplegia is the correct term. If only one limb is affected, the correct term is monoplegia. Spastic paraplegia is a form of paraplegia defined by spasticity of the affected muscles, rather than flaccid paralysis.

Compositions and methods for rapid targeted amplification of genomic regions, sequencing thereof, and analysis

PendingCN122319249AGenomicsRetinitis pigmentosa syndrome
Compositions and methods for detecting structural variations (SVs) in target genes or for genetic mapping of movable transposable elements are disclosed, the target genes relating to disease pathologies commonly found in large Mendelian genomics projects, and the movable transposable elements relating to genetic diseases, cancer, and aging. The method comprises: (i) contacting a sample containing genomic DNA with a DNA endonuclease for an effective amount of time to cleave the genomic DNA into fragments, the genomic DNA being uncrosslinked; (ii) subjecting the fragments obtained from step (b) to a DNA ligase to obtain circularized DNA; (iii) subjecting the circularized DNA to reverse PCR amplification containing a reverse primer, wherein the reverse primer is designed to match a expected wild-type sequence near a suspected mutant locus in the gene; and (iv) sequencing the amplified products. Exemplary conditions include Bardet-Biedel syndrome; severe upper and lower limb defects; retinitis pigmentosa; syndromic microcephaly; spastic paraplegia; and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome.

Application of rapamycin in preparation of composition for treating hereditary spasmodic paraplegia SPG subtype

The invention discloses an application of rapamycin in preparation of a composition for treating a hereditary spastic paraplegia SPG subtype. The rapamycin can obviously improve the motion disorder and pathological injury phenotype of an SPG80 subtype mammal model, improve the lysosome function and promote the autophagy process through mTOR inhibition, provides specific intervention for nerve cell apoptosis and a glial cell abnormal activation mechanism caused by UBAP1 deletion, fills the blank that no effective treatment means exists for the SPG subtype, and has a good application prospect. A theoretical basis is provided for clinical treatment of patients, and a reference is provided for other SPG variations (such as SPG3A).

Auxiliary turning-over bed

The utility model relates to the technical field of medical sickbeds, and particularly discloses a turning-over assisting bed which comprises a bed board frame. The bed body backup plates are arranged on the two sides of the bed board frame; the limiting baffle is mounted at the top end of the bed board frame; through the arrangement of the first rotating rod, the bed board body, the fixing base and the tension spring, when a hemiplegic patient and a paraplegic patient are subjected to turnover rehabilitation training, rotating operation of the bed board can be achieved through the first rotating rod and the second rotating rod which are installed on the bed body backup plate, and in the process, elastic stretching of the tension spring is utilized to enable the patient to turn over. The resistance of the bed board during rotation can be effectively increased, by means of the arrangement, when a patient lies on one side, the limb twisting capacity and resistance resisting capacity of the patient can be fully exercised, then the patient recovers to the prostration state, turning-over training becomes more daily, and by means of the design, the training pertinence is improved, and the training effect of the patient is also improved.
