    摘要: Compositions and methods are provided for prognostic classification of inflammatory diseases, e.g. inflammatory demyelinating disease, patients into subtypes, which subtypes are informative of the patient's need for therapy and responsiveness to a therapy of interest. The patterns of cytokines provides for a signature pattern that can identify patients likely to benefit from therapeutic intervention as well as discriminate patients that have a high probability of responsiveness to a therapy from those that have a low probability of responsiveness. Assessment of this signature pattern thus allows improved methods of care. In one embodiment of the invention, the autoimmune disease is multiple sclerosis or neuromyelitis optica.

    摘要: Compositions and methods are provided for the treatment of IL-17-type inflammatory demyelinating diseases with inhibitors of granulocyte function, e.g. elastase inhibitors. Diseases of interest include multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica, animal models of such diseases, etc. In some embodiments pharmaceutical formulations comprising an elastase inhibitor in an effective dose for treatment of IL-17-type inflammatory demyelinating disease and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient are provided. Patients may be classified into subtypes prior to treatment, which subtypes are informative of the patient's need for therapy and responsiveness to a therapy of interest.

    摘要: A portable generating system for converting either water or wind energy into electricity comprises a paddle wheel assembly having a housing and a plurality of impellers rotatably mounted therein. The housing defines inlet and outlet openings for receiving a fluid stream, whether water or air, therebetween so as to rotate the impellers. The impellers are axially connected to a generator for producing electricity upon impeller rotation as the fluid stream flows between the housing openings. The generator may be mounted within the paddle wheel housing adjacent the impellers or at a distance therefrom and coupled thereto with a shaft. A plurality of mounting brackets are fixedly attached to the outer surface of the housing. The generating system further includes a plurality of height-adjustable support legs that may be coupled to the mounting brackets so that the paddle wheel housing may be positioned at a predetermined height above a support surface. The support surface may be a dry ground area such that electricity is generated as a result of an air stream or may be a body of water such that electricity is generated as a result of a water stream. The system may easily be assembled and disassembled and moved between desired locations.
