摘要:
Disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions and related methods for treating a subject with a viral or retroviral infection. The disclosed compositions and methods comprise and utilize an effective amount of one or more vanadium-containing compounds and an effective amount of one or more sulfonylureas. In certain embodiments, the viral infection is human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the compositions and methods improve one or more immunologic cellular parameters, such as viral load, CD4 counts and CD4/CD8 lymphocyte cell ratios in a subject. Also disclosed are methods of improving one or more immunologic cellular parameters that are associated with viral infections such as HIV in a subject, including viral load, CD4 counts and CD4/CD8 lymphocyte cell ratios.
摘要:
The present invention provides for methods and compositions for identifying and detecting autoantigens. Candidate autoantigens are identified by obtaining a subject sample from which HLA-DR-presented peptides are collected and identified using mass spectometry, then synthesized and reacted with the same subject peripheral blood or effected tissue. In particular, the present invention provides for endothelial cell growth factor as a novel autoantigen biomarker for Lyme disease-associated arthritis.
摘要:
The present invention relates to respirable dry powder comprising respirable dry particles that comprise sodium chloride, leucine, and tiotropium bromide, wherein the sodium chloride is about 60% to about 90%, the leucine is about 10% to about 40%, the tiotropium bromide is about 0.01% to about 0.5%, and optionally one or more additional therapeutic agents up to about 20%, wherein all percentages are weight percentages on a dry basis and all the components of the respirable dry particles amount to 100%. The invention also relates to respirable dry powders that contain respirable dry particles that comprise sodium chloride, leucine, and tiotropium bromide, wherein the sodium chloride is 67% to 84%, the leucine is 12% to 28%, the tiotropium bromide is about 0.01% to about 0.5%, and optionally one or more additional therapeutic agents up to about 20%, wherein all percentages are weight percentages on a dry basis and all the components of the respirable dry particles amount to 100%. The invention also relates to respirable dry powders that contain respirable dry particles that comprise about 79.5% to about 80.5% (w/w) sodium chloride, about 19.5% to about 20.5% (w/w) leucine, and about 0.01% to about 0.5% (w/w) tiotropium bromide, and methods for treating a subject using the respirable dry powders.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to the use of a soluble CD52 glycoprotein in treating diseases regulated by effector T-cells, for example sepsis or multiple sclerosis. The present disclosure also relates to diagnostic methods based on the detection of CD52 expression levels in a subject.
摘要:
Described herein is an apparatus comprising (i) one or more vibration means; (ii) a support for supporting the body of a subject, wherein the one or more vibration means and the support are positioned and configured such that, in use, when a subject is positioned on the support vibrations are transmittable from the vibration means through the support and to the subject; (iii) a light emitting means for providing a visually relaxing experience to a subject positioned on the support; (iv) a sound emitting means for providing an aurally relaxing experience to a subject positioned on the support; (v) a media device; (vi) a control means for coordinating emission of light patterns from the light emitting unit, sound from the sound emitting unit and vibrations from the vibration means with output from the media device; and (vii) an input for a microphone for allowing a user to speak to the subject via the sound emitting means.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a soluble CD52 glycoprotein and its use in treating diseases regulated by effector T-cells, for example autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes. The present disclosure also relates to fusion proteins comprising the soluble glycoprotein, to cells expressing high levels of CD52, and to diagnostic methods based on the detection of CD52 expression levels in a subject.
摘要:
Described are recombinant yeast comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding human H-ferritin under the control of the yeast constitutive TDH3 transcriptional promoter, recombinant yeast comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding human H- ferritin integrated into the yeast chromosome at the TDH3 site, H-ferritin expression cassettes for S. cerevisiae expressing human H-ferritin under the control of the yeast constitutive TDH3 transcriptional promoter, compositions comprising the recombinant yeast and their use in therapy, for example the treatment of iron disorders.
摘要:
Provided are compositions comprising (i) a neonicotinoid; and (ii) a compound of formula (I) or (II), preferably wherein the composition is a pesticide composition, for example an insecticide composition. Also provided is use of a compound of formula (I) or (II) as a neonicotinoid synergist and use of a compound of formula (I) or (II) in combination with a neonicotinoid. Further provided are methods for controlling pests.
摘要:
The invention provides a device for adjusting the effective length of a table leg. The device includes an upper and a lower member (10, 12, 14) that is rotatably associated with one another and are biased apart by spring means (20), the upper member (14) including a first downwardly directed ramp (22) spaced apart from a second ratchet ramps (24) associated with the lower member (12) by a wall. The upper member (10) includes one or more pawls (25) adapted to run in the channel between the ramps (22, 24), and including a formation adapted to engage the ratchet when the desired effective length of the leg plus device has been adjusted.
