摘要:
This invention is directed to a method of using a therapeutic composition comprising an ester of an alpha-ketoalkanoic acid for the treatment of cytokine-mediated inflammatory conditions. The cytokine-mediated inflammatory conditions are mediated by, for example, Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), interleukin-1β (IL-1β)) or High Mobility Group B-1 (HMGB-1) mediator of inflammation. Exemplary cytokine-mediated inflammatory conditions include, but are not limited to, rheumatoid spondylitis, osteoarthritis, gouty arthritis, endotoxic shock, cerebral malaria, silicosis, pulmonary sarcoidosis, bone resorption disease, graft versus host disease, allograft rejections, fever and myalgia due to infection, AIDS related complex (ARC), Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, cachexia and septic shock.
摘要:
The invention relates to the use of charcoal in the manufacture of an oral composition for the treatment of an inflammatory condition other than an inflammatory bowel disease and other than interstitial or other inflammation within the kidney.
摘要:
A method of treating ileus in a subject by administering to the subject an effective amount of a pharmacological agent that increases the activity of cholinergic receptor in a subject. Examples of pharmacological agents are brain muscarinic agonist, cholinergic agonist or cholinesterase inhibitor. The methods of the present invention can be used to treat ileus caused by abdominal surgery, or administration of narcotics or chemotherapeutic agents such as during cancer chemotherapy.
摘要:
Methods and compositions are disclosed for protecting an organ or tissue from inflammation and organ injury following ischemia, reperfusion, and trauma through the administration of an HMGB1 protein within a time period sufficient to protect the organ or tissue from injury.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a method of treating a subject at risk for or having a condition mediated by an inflammatory cytokine cascade comprising administering to the subject an amount of a GAPDH inhibitor effective to treat the subject at risk for or having a condition mediated by an inflammatory cytokine cascade.
摘要:
There is disclosed a pharmaceutical composition and method for treating sepsis, including septic shock and ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome), comprising administering an effective amount of a HMG1 antagonist. There is further disclosed a diagnostic method for monitoring the severity or potential lethality of sepsis or septic shock, comprising measuring the serum concentration of HMG1 in a patient exhibiting or at risk of exhibiting sepsis or septic shock symptoms. Lastly, there is disclosed a phamaceutical composition and method for effecting weight loss or treating obesity, comprising administering an effective amount of HMG1 or a therapeutically active HMG1 fragment.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a method of treating a subject at risk for or having a condition mediated by an inflammatory cytokine cascade comprising administering to the subject an amount of a GAPDH inhibitor effective to treat the subject at risk for or having a condition mediated by an inflammatory cytokine cascade.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods of treating inflammatory diseases in a subject comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an agent that inhibits pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) and methods of screening for agents that inhibit PEDF.
摘要:
The invention features a method of treating an inflammatory condition in an individual, comprising administering an agent inhibits the interaction between a Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and a high mobility group B (HMGB) polypeptide to the individual. The invention also features methods for identifying agents that inhibit the interaction between TLR2 and HMGB.
