    摘要: A single point mutation in the human lipoprotein lipase gene which results in an A→G nucleotide change at codon 291 (nucleotide 1127) of the lipoprotein lipase gene, and a substitution of serine for the normal asparagine in the lipoprotein lipase gene product is seen with increased frequency in patients with coronary artery disease, and is associated with an increased susceptibility to coronary artery disease, including in particular premature atherosclerosis. This is expressed as a diminished catalytic activity of lipoprotein lipase, lower HDL-cholesterol levels and higher triglyceride levels. Thus, susceptibility of a human individual to premature atherosclerosis can be evaluated by: (a) obtaining a sample of DNA from the individual; and (b) evaluating the sample of DNA for the presence of nucleotides encoding a serine residue as amino acid 291 of the lipoprotein lipase gene product. The presence of a serine residue is indicative of increased susceptibility in the patient. This method may be performed using a kit which contains a pair of primers selected to amplify a region of a human lipoprotein lipase gene spanning amino acid 291 of human lipoprotein lipase. Appropriate additional reagents may also be included in the kit such as polymerase enzymes, nucleoside stock solutions and the like. Patients found to be suffering from or likely to suffer from premature atherosclerosis and other forms of coronary artery disease as a result of a lipoprotein lipase deficiency can be treated using gene therapy. This may be accomplished using adenovirus-mediated or retrovirus-mediated gene therapy, and can be performed using either an in vivo or an ex vivo approach.

    摘要: A portable platform-support provides an external platform corner for supporting a platform surface structure. The external platform corner employs a rigid corner-support apparatus that is connectable to other components. The rigid corner-support apparatus includes a non-integrating outer-facing portion with opposing outer edges and an inner portion. A channel member has an elongated shape and an upper surface adapted to provide support to the platform surface structure, and a reinforcement member is securely coupled to and extending from the inner portion with the reinforcement member being adapted to securely support the channel member.

    摘要: The disclosure provides methods and compositions for treating a vascular, autoimmune, and/or inflammatory disease, or a condition associated therewith, with a dose of an inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) inhibitor effective to treat the vascular, autoimmune and/or inflammatory disease, or associated condition but that does not produce immunosuppression sufficient to reduce the risk of allograft rejection. These lower doses of the immunosuppressant avoid the adverse consequences of severe immunosuppression while providing effective treatment of the vascular, autoimmune and/or inflammatory disease.
