Title: Compositions and methods for treatment of neurological disorders and neurodegenerative diseases
Inventor: LEE ROBERT K K
IPC: A61P25/28
Filed: 2000-11-08
Abstract: It has been discovered that the stimulation of .beta.-adrenergic receptors, which activate cAMP formation, gives rise to increased APP and GFAP synthesi s in astrocytes. Hence, the in vitro or in vivo exposure of neuronal cells to certain compositions comprising .beta.-adrenergic receptor ligands or agonists, including, e.g., norepinephrine, isoproterenol and the like, increases APP mRNA transcription and consequent APP overproduction. These increases are blocked by .beta.-adrenergic receptor antagonists, such as propranolol. The in vitro or in vivo treatment of these cells with 8Br-cAMP,  prostaglandin E2 (PG E2), forskolin, and nicotine ditartrate also increased APP synthesis, including an increase in mRNA and holoprotein levels, as well  as an increase in the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Compositions and methods are disclosed of regulating APP overexpression and mediating reactive astrogliosis through cAMP signaling or the activation of .beta.-adrenergic receptors. It has further been found that the increase in APP synthesis caused by 8Br-cAMP, PG E2, or forskolin is inhibited by immunosuppressants, immunophilin ligands, or anti-inflammatory agents, such as cyclosporin A, and FK-506 (tacrolimus), as well as ion-channel modulators, including ion chelating agents such as EGTA, or calcium/calmodulin kinase inhibitors, such as KN93. The present invention has broad implications in th e alleviation, treatment, or prevention of neurological disorders and neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's Disease.

Title: Diagnostic non invasif de maladies de la peau par spectroscopie dans le visible/l'infrarouge proche
Inventor: TOOLE JOHN W P
IPC: A61B5/103
Filed: 2000-10-05
Abstract: L'invention concerne un outil non invasif pour effectuer le diagnostic de maladies de la peau, destiné à être utilisé en tant que dispositif clinique auxiliaire. L'étude sur laquelle est fondée cette invention avait pour but de déterminer si la spectroscopie dans le visible/infrarouge proche peut être exploité pour la caractérisation non invasive de maladies de la peau. Des spectres in vivo dans le visible et infrarouge proche (400-2500 nm) de tumeurs de la peau (kératoses séniles, carcinomes basocellulaires, naevus mélanocytaires banals communs acquis, naevus mélanocytaires dysplastiques, lentigines actiniques et kératoses séborrhéiques) ont été obtenus au moyen d'une sonde à fibre optique placée sur la peau. On a fait appel à des tests t jumelés, à une analyse de variance et à une analyse discriminatoire de mesures répétées pour déterminer s'il y avait des différences spectrales significatives et si les spectres pouvaient être classés selon le type de lésion. Les tests t jumelés ont montré des différences significatives (p<0,05) entre une peau normale et une peau présentant des lésions, dans plusieurs zones du spectre visible/infrarouge proche. En outre, des différences significatives ont été trouvées entre les groupes de lésions, par analyse de variance. L'analyse discriminatoire linéaire a permis de différencier des spectres résultant de lésions bénignes, en comparaison avec des lésions pré-malignes ou malignes. La spectroscopie dans le visible/infrarouge rouge constitue une technique non invasive prometteuse pour le diagnostic de maladies de la peau.

Abstract: Cette invention a trait à de nouveaux dosages servant à établir un pronostic ou un diagnostic en matière d'athérosclérose ou de risque d'athérosclérose. Il a été établi que des lipoprotéines haute densité (HDL) ou leurs composants peuvent empêcher l'oxydation des lipides (par exemple, des lipides présents dans des lipoprotéines à faible densité (LDL)), et peuvent également réparer (réduire) des lipides déjà oxydés et, partant, atténuer la réaction inflammatoire associée à la formation d'une plaque athérosclérotique et caractéristique de celle-ci. Il a été, en outre, découvert que l'aptitude des HDL à conférer une telle protection varie selon les personnes. De la sorte, le dosage selon l'invention, relatif à l'activité protectrice et/ou réparatrice des HDL, constitue une source de renseignement des plus satisfaisante en matière de risque d'athérosclérose ainsi que de pathologies associées.
