    摘要: Systems and methods of diagnosing and/or treating physiologic conditions based upon pattern recognition of serum protein profiles are provided. Mass spectrometry or other conventional techniques for creating a profile of serum proteins is employed, and a patient's profile is thereafter digitized for computational analysis. A pattern recognition algorithm is implemented to determine a degree of similarity between the patient's profile and other profiles stored in a database along with information describing the pathologic state of the individuals from whom such data was obtained. The degree of similarity may provide an indication of, for example, the way in which the patient may react to a particular clinical treatment or their predisposition to a particular disease condition. The methods and system of the present invention may be used to monitor the dynamic progression of disease pathology in a patient, and may be implemented via a computer network.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is a method for treating and preventing prostate cancer, and particularly androgen-independent prostate cancer, the method including administering to a mammal a benzothiopene having Formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof, wherein R and R1, are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, -COR2, -COR3, and R4; R2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C1-C14 alkyl, C1-C3 chloroalkyl, C1-C3 fluoroalkyl, C5-C7 cycloalkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, and phenyl; R3 is phenyl with at least one substitution selected from the group consisting of C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, hydroxy, nitro, chloro, fluoro, trichloromethyl, and trifluoromethyl; R4 is selected from the group consisting of C1-C4 alkyl, C5-C7 cycloalkyl, and benzyl; and R5 is selected from the group consisting of oxygen and -C=O. The method may further include the administration of an estrogen lowering drug to enhance efficacy of the compound of the present invention.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a system and method for mass spectrometry (100) that allows for bi-directional introduction of collections of charged particles into the magnetic field of a mass spectrometer. More particularly, the present invention includes a system for mass spectrometry (100)(e.g., an FTMS mass spectrometer) with a cylindrical magnet (101) configured to receive and measure the cyclotron frequencies (104) of charged particles that are introduced (102, 103) into the cylindrical magnet (101) from eith of the two axial ends thereof. Methods of the invention relate to performing mass spectrometry analysis on collections of charged particles that are introduced (102, 103), serially, simultaneously or both, into a cylindrical magnet (101) from opposing axial ends thereof. The present invention exhibits significantly increased magnet throughput relative to currently available devices, by allowing flow in the opposite direction to a second detector, e.g., during ion processing time of a first detector.

    摘要: Described herein are methods for treating cancer and other disease conditions in individuals who have either developed a resistance to conventional tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy or who are non-responsive ab initio to conventional TKI therapy. In various embodiments, the methods include administering to a patient a resistance-surmounting quantity of a TKI on a weekly or semi-weekly basis. Alternate embodiments of the present invention include a diagnostic method for assessing an individual's probability of being resistant to TKI therapy, based upon an expression level of epithelial membrane protein-1 (EMP-1); one of the genes believed to be responsible for TKI resistance. The methods of the present invention may be particularly useful in the treatment of lung, breast, prostate, ovarian, brain and colon cancers. The methods of the present invention may be effective in blocking the HER-2 kinase domain either in addition to or in lieu of blocking the EGFR kinase domain.
