摘要: In some aspects, provided herein is a method of enhancing production of interleukin-17 (IL-17), interferon gamma (IFN-γ), or both by a mammalian T cell, the method comprising contacting the cell with a C5L2 inhibitor. In some aspects, provided herein is a method of enhancing Th1 and/or Th17 responses by a mammalian T cell, the method comprising contacting the cell with a C5L2 inhibitor. In some aspects, provided herein is a method of enhancing production of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), or both by a mammalian T cell or monocyte, the method comprising contacting the cell with a C5L2 inhibitor. In some aspects, provided herein is a method of decreasing suppressive activity of a T regulatory cell, e.g., a natural regulatory T (nTreg) cell, the method comprising contacting a Treg cell, e.g., an nTreg cell, with an inhibitor of C5L2.

摘要: Embodiments and aspects described herein provide methods and systems for determining pressure difference across a tube arising from fluid flow within the tube, comprising: obtaining three-dimensional time dependent fluid velocity data at a plurality of points along the tube; processing the three-dimensional time dependent fluid velocity data to determine: i) a flow rate (Q) of the fluid through the tube; ii) the kinetic energy (K) of the fluid flow through the tube; iii) an advective energy rate (A) of the fluid flow through the tube; and iv) a viscous dissipation rate (V) pertaining to the fluid flow; and calculating the pressure difference in dependence on all of the flow rate (Q), kinetic energy (K), advective energy rate (A), and viscous dissipation rate (V). Further embodiments are also described.

摘要: A portable, battery powered apparatus (10) generates an electrical signal between electrodes (15a, 15b) to be applied to the skin of a patient for reduction or prevention of snoring or obstructive sleep apnoea. The signal comprises electrical stimulation at a frequency of 1-100 Hz and the signal comprises a stimulation free period of at least 0.5 seconds every 20 seconds, avoiding muscle fatigue when used for long periods, e.g. overnight.

摘要: A method is described for using live mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in a way which allows for identification of patients likely to respond to immunosuppressive treatment using MSCs. The method involves contacting a sample from said patient with live MSCs in vitro, and determining whether the sample is able to induce at least some apoptosis to occur in live MSCs in vitro, or detection of elevated levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). The ability of the sample to induce said apoptosis and/or elevated levels of PGE2 is indicative of responsiveness of said patient to said immunosuppressive treatment and/or indicative of fitness to recover. Also provided are apoptotic MSCs for use in the treatment of immune-mediated disease or conditions, such as allo-immune or autoimmune disease, or for the prevention or treatment of rejection of a transplanted organ; or in regenerative medicine to stimulate tissue repair. Methods for preparing pharmaceutical compositions comprising the apoptotic MSCs are also described and claimed.
