Researchers at Purdue University have shown that common bacteria can deliver a valuable cargo of "smart nanoparticles" into a cell to precisely position sensors, drugs or DNA for the early diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. The approach represents a potential way to overcome hurdles in delivering cargo to the interiors of cells, where they could be used as an alterative technology for gene therapy, said Rashid Bashir, a researcher at Purdue's Birck Nanotechnology Center.

"During the extended clinically latent period associated with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection the virus itself is far from latent. This phase of infection generally comes to an end with the development of symptomatic illness. Understanding the factors affecting disease progression can aid treatment commencement and therapeutic monitoring decisions. An example of this is the clear utility of CD4 count and HIV-RNA viral load for disease stage and progression assessment

"According to the experts from different endemic countries present, the financial and social burdens of CL are high, but they have limited quantitative data. The analysis of published trials indicates that the quality of most trials is poor and requires both improvement and standardization. The available drugs are inadequate. Criteria by which different CL types could be prioritized as target disease were set

The current treatment duration for the more common, tougher to treat, Genotype 1 form of the disease is 48 weeks. Vertex is hoping to show that the addition of its drug can cut that time in half, which would be a major advance as interferon is a difficult medicine for patients to tolerate.one of the study's lead investigators, said in a telephone interview from Barcelona. they think treatments like this will radically alter our perception of optimal duration of therapy for hepatitis C.

"Most adult US residents are at lower 10-year CHD risk and meet risk-adjusted LDL-C goals. However, large portions of the high-risk population are undertreated. The commonly described population at intermediate risk is small. A novel method of identifying patients who might benefit from additional testing to determine their treatment strategy is provided. "

Interleukin-6 Impairs the Insulin Signaling Pathway, Promoting Production of Nitric Oxide in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells

crackpot submitted, created time 1 year 8 months (mcb.asm.org)

“Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is an independent predictor of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease and is correlated with insulin resistance.……IL-6 treatment reduced insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of eNOS at the stimulatory Ser1177 site and impaired insulin-stimulated eNOS dephosphorylation at the inhibitory Thr495 site. Insulin-stimulated eNOS activation and NO production were also inhibited by IL-6; these effects were reversed by inhibition of JNK and ERK1/2
