摘要:
The present invention relates to prognostic methods and kits for the assessment and monitoring of relapse-free or disease-free survival of ALL patients. The detection is based on the use of detecting nucleic acids, specific for determination of the expression of at least one of miR-151-5p and miR-451 in a test sample. The invention thereby also provides methods and kits for monitoring and early diagnosis of cancerous disorders associated with low miR-151-5p and/or miR-451 expression, specifically ALL.
摘要:
The current invention provides therapeutic methods which include inhibition of nuclear factor κb pathway in a cell based on the discovery of an active fraction of a plant extract termed NUP or a composition which includes NUP. NUP is used in treating and managing different diseases such as cancer, inflammation, and virus infections.
摘要:
Monitoring system and method for use with diabetic treatment management. The system includes: a communication interface configured to permit access to stored raw log data, obtained over a certain time, being indicative of glucose measurements, meals consumed and insulin delivery; and a control unit including an unsupervised learning controller configured to receive and process said raw log data and determine at least one global insulin pump setting of basal rate, correction factor, carbohydrate ratio and insulin activity curve parameters. The system may include a processing unit including a first processor for processing measured data indicative of blood glucose level and generating first processed data, a second processor including at least one fuzzy logic module which receives input parameters corresponding to the measured data, the first processed data and a reference data, and processes the data to produce a qualitative output parameter to determine whether any treatment parameter should be modified.
摘要:
The present invention provides peptides and polynucleotides, and their use for immunomodulation, immunotherapy and vaccine particularly for anti-cancer therapy, and for diagnosis purposes. The immunomodulatory effect includes induction of proliferation and activation of peripheral blood lymphocytes and induction of an anti-tumor effect upon administration of peptides of the invention to subjects suffering from cancer.
摘要:
A method of preventing and/or treating S. pneumoniae infection in mammalian subjects, wherein said method comprises administering to said subjects a composition comprising one or more agents that are capable of inhibiting the binding of the S. pneumoniae cell wall protein FBA to the respiratory tract cells of said subject.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for assessing the prognosis of Ewing's Sarcoma patients comprising determining the expression pattern of a defined set of genes in tumor material obtained from said patients, and assigning said expression pattern to either a good prognosis or poor prognosis group.
摘要:
The present invention provides to a humanized monoclonal antibody having immunostimulatory effects. This antibody binds specifically to B lymphoblastoid cells, induces proliferation and activation of peripheral blood lymphocytes, and is capable of eliciting an anti-tumor effect upon administration to subjects suffering from cancer.
摘要:
A method for treating and/or preventing cell necrosis and diseases associated therewith, comprising the inhibition of one or more elastase enzymes within said cells.
摘要:
This invention relates to compositions for and methods of treating, preventing or ameliorating cancer and other proliferative diseases as well as methods of inducing wound healing, treating cutaneous ulcers, treating gastrointestinal disorders, treating blood disorders such as anemias, immunomodulation, enhancing recombinant gene expression, treating insulin-dependent patients, treating cystic fibrosis patients, inhibiting telomerase activity, treating virus-associated tumors, especially EBV-associated tumors, modulating gene expression and particularly augmenting expession of tumor suppressor genes, inducing tolerance to antigens, treating, preventing or ameliorating protozoan infection or inhibiting histone deacetylase in cells. The compositions of the invention are to and the methods of the invention use nitrogen-containing oxyalkyl esters.
