摘要:
Polymorphisms in the gene TCF7L2 are shown by association analysis to be a susceptibility gene for type II diabetes. Methods of diagnosis of susceptibility to diabetes, of decreased susceptibility to diabetes and protection against diabetes, are described, as are methods of treatment for type II diabetes.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a chemical genus of biaryl substituted nitrogen-attached heterocycles that are inhibitors of LTA4H (leukotriene A4 hydrolase). The compounds have the general formula: They are useful for the treatment and prevention and prophylaxis of inflammatory diseases and disorders.
摘要:
Two chemical genera of pyrazolylphenyl and pyrrolylphenyl derivatives are disclosed. They have the general formula: In these compounds ring (a) is a pyrazole or pyrrole; Q is selected from the group consisting of a direct bond, O, S, SO, SO2, NR1, CH2, CF2, and C(O); HET is a 4-7-membered saturated nitrogenous heterocycle; and taken together ZW is H or Z is (CH2)1-10 in which one or two (CH2) may optionally be replaced by —O—, —NR1—, —SO—, —S(O)2—, —C(═O)— or —C═O(NH)—; and W is hydrogen, acyl, hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino, carboxamido, aminoacyl, —COOalkyl, —CHO, heterocyclyl, substituted aryl or substituted heterocyclyl. The compounds are inhibitors of LTA4H (leukotriene A4 hydrolase). They are useful for the treatment and prevention and prophylaxis of inflammatory diseases and disorders.
摘要:
The invention relates to improved materials and methods for therapy to inhibit production of leukotrienes, and all therapeutic applications thereof.
摘要:
Linkage of myocardial infarction (MI) and a locus on chromosome 13q12 is disclosed. In particular, the FLAP gene within this locus is shown by genetic association analysis to be a susceptibility gene for MI and ACS, as well as stroke and PAOD. Pathway targeting for treatment and diagnostic applications in identifying those who are at risk of developing MI, ACS, stroke or PAOD, in particular are described.
摘要:
The current invention discloses methods for transforming a set of relations into multidimensional data cubes. A syntheses process is disclosed that dynamically and with minimal user input eliminates ambiguities when populating a data cube by introducing table-like virtual relations. The methods are generic and applicable to many data warehouse designs. The methods support relational OLAP for a wider variety of data and structures than possible using current relational implementation schemas.
摘要:
Association of Type II diabetes and a locus on chromosome 5 is disclosed. In particular, the gene KChIP1 within this locus is shown by linkage analysis to be a susceptibility gene for Type II diabetes. Pathway targeting for drug delivery and diagnosis applications in identifying those who have Type II diabetes or are at risk of developing Type II diabetes, in particular those that are non-obese are described.
摘要:
Methods are disclosed for predicting the efficacy of a drug for treating hypertension in a patient, including: obtaining a sample of cells from the patient; obtaining a gene expression profile from the sample in the absence and presence of in vitro modulation of the cells with specific mediators; and comparing the gene expression profile of the sample with a reference gene expression profile, wherein similarity between the sample expression profile and the reference expression profile predicts the efficacy of the drug for treating hypertension in the patient.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for desalting nucleic acid samples. The method involves contacting a liquid sample comprising a nucleic acid and an ionic salt with an ion exchanger comprising an insoluble phosphate salt, removing said liquid, and eluting said nucleic acid from the ion exchanger. The desalted nucleic acids provided by the methods of the invention are suitable for a wide variety of analytic and diagnostic applications, including high-throughput assays.
