The cutting plate is positioned between the distal frame portion and the anvil plate and is engaged by the knife as the knife moves from the retracted position towards the advanced position. The cutting plate is formed of a material that deforms locally and structurally upon engagement with the knife.

Abstract: A surgical stapling device includes a tool assembly having a U-shaped frame, an anvil assembly, and a cartridge assembly. The U-shaped frame has a proximal transverse portion, a longitudinal portion, and a distal transverse portion. The distal transverse portion and the proximal transverse of the U-shaped frame and the cartridge assembly have a common shape including a first linear portion defining a first axis, a second linear portion defining a second axis, and a third linear portion defining a third axis, the first axis being transverse to the longitudinal axis of the elongate body. In embodiments, a first radius of curvature is defined between the first linear portion and the second linear portion such that the first axis and the second axis define an angle ?, and a second radius of curvature is defined between the second linear portion and the third linear portion such that the second axis and the third axis define an angle ?.

Abstract: A surgical stapling device includes a removable or releasable cartridge assembly. The surgical stapling device and the cartridge assembly include engagement members for releasably securing a thrust bar of the stapling device to a knife assembly of the cartridge assembly. The stapling device also includes structure to prevent the knife assembly from being disengaged from a cartridge body of the cartridge assembly and for obstructing advancement of the knife assembly within the cartridge body after the stapling device has been fired.

Abstract: A curved cartridge assembly of a surgical stapler includes a staple cartridge, an alignment pin received in the staple cartridge and configured to engage an opening in an anvil assembly, and a shipping cap configured to detachably couple to the staple cartridge. The shipping cap has is engaged with the distal end portion of the alignment pin to resist translation of the alignment pin. With the cartridge assembly loaded into the surgical stapler, upon releasing the shipping cap from the staple cartridge the alignment pin translates into engagement with the opening in the anvil assembly.

Abstract: Palbociclib compositions with improved solubility and bioavailability, methods of their preparation, and methods of treating cancers using the compositions are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an amorphous form of Idelalisib and its methods of preparation. Using a Cu-K? radiation, the X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern does not contain sharp diffraction peaks at a diffraction angle expressed in degrees 2?, and the X-ray powder diffraction pattern is shown in FIG. 1. The present invention also provides a preparation method for the amorphous form of Idelalisib. The amorphous form of Idelalisib of the present invention increases the solubility of Idelalisib and improves bioavailability of the drug product. As compared to the existing crystalline forms of Idelalisib, its solubility increases significantly, which improves body's absorption of the drug and makes it more efficacious in the clinical therapeutic treatment of diseases. Under the stress test conditions, the amorphous material can maintain good physical and chemical stabilities. The preparation method of amorphous Idelalisib according to the present invention is simple to operate and easy to implement.
