    摘要: The present invention relates to the use of carbon monoxide (CO) as a biomarker and therapeutic agent of heart, lung, liver, spleen, brain, skin and kidney diseases and other conditions and disease states including, for example, asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis, cystic fibrosis, pneumonia, interstitial lung diseases, idiopathic pulmonary diseases, other lung diseases including primary pulmonary hypertension, secondary pulmonary hypertension, cancers, including lung, larynx and throat cancer, arthritis, wound healing, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, peripheral vascular disease and pulmonary vascular thrombotic diseases such as pulmonary embolism. CO may be used to provide anti-inflammatory relief in patients suffering from oxidative stress and other conditions especially including sepsis and septic shock. In addition, carbon monoxide may be used as a biomarker or therapeutic agent for reducing respiratory distress in lung transplant patients and to reduce or inhibit oxidative stress and inflammation in transplant patients.

    摘要: A time-of-flight mass spectrometer includes a sample holder (116-118) for a sample and an ionizer (135-139) for ionizing the sample to form ions. A first element (122) is spaced downstream from the sample holder, a second element (123) is spaced downstream from the first element, and a drift region (104) is downstream of the second element. An electric field is established between the sample holder and the first element at a time subsequent to ionizing the sample in order to extract the ions. A time-dependent and mass-correlated electric field is established between at least one of: (a) the first element and the second element, and (b) the sample holder and the first element. In turn, a detector (132) detects the ions.

    摘要: This invention describes a method to kill cancer cells by acute elevation of cellular malonyl Coenzyme A (Malonyl CoA) which leads to apoptosis. Elevation of malonyl CoA may be induced by inhibition of fatty acid synthase (FAS), or by other manipulation of fatty acid metabolism tht does not involve inhibition of FAS. Alternatively, growth of tumor cells may be induced by a combination of effects including FAS inhibition in conjunction with other interventions which affect fatty acid metabolism, including inhibition of camitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT-1). Any combination of drugs which produces an analogous physiologic effect(s) may be expected to lead to the same effect on susceptible tumor cells. For example, combination therapy with drug(s) that inhibit the fatty acid synthesis by inhibiting acetyl CoA carboxylase (the first enzyme in the fatty acid synthesis pathway) and drug(s) that inhibit CPT-1 may be expected to induce apoptosis in tumor cells. Therefore, this invention encompasses any method to systemically modify fatty acid metabolism in cancer cells including but not limited to direct inhibition of CPT-1 through small molecule inhibitors such as etomoxir, as well as inhibition of CPT-1 incidental to increasing the level of malonyl CoA in cancer cells.
