RNA interference and nonviral targeted gene therapy of experimental brain cancerNeuroRX - Tập 2 - Trang 139-150 - 2005
Ruben J. Boado
The human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays an oncogenic role in solid cancer, including brain primary and metastatic cancers. Transvascular nonviral gene therapy in combination with EGFR-RNA interference (RNAi) represents a new therapeutic approach to silencing oncogenic genes in solid cancers. This is achieved with pegylated immunoliposomes (PIL) carrying short hairpin RNA expression...... hiện toàn bộ
Evidence from cost-effectiveness researchNeuroRX - Tập 1 - Trang 348-355 - 2004
Katia Noyes, Robert G. Holloway
Economic evaluations are a set of outcomes and health services research methods to inform the debate about the rising cost of health care and include cost-of-illness studies and cost-effectiveness research. Cost-effectiveness research is the comparative analysis of two or more alternative interventions in terms of their health and economic consequences, whose results are expressed as an incrementa...... hiện toàn bộ
The congenital disorders of glycosylation: A multifaceted group of syndromesNeuroRX - Tập 3 - Trang 254-263 - 2012
Erik A. Eklund, Hudson H. Freeze
The congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are a rapidly expanding group of metabolic syndromes with a wide symptomatology and severity. They all stem from deficient N-glycosylation of proteins. To date the group contains 18 different subtypes: 12 of Type I (disrupted synthesis of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide precursor) and 6 of Type II (malfunctioning trimming/processing of the protein-b...... hiện toàn bộ
Current concepts in therapeutic strategies targeting cognitive decline and disease modification in Alzheimer’s diseaseNeuroRX - Tập 2 - Trang 612-626 - 2005
J. Steven Jacobsen, Peter Reinhart, Menelas N. Pangalos
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the leading cause of dementia in the Western world. Postmortem, it is characterized neuropathologically by the presence of amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and a profound gray matter loss. Neurofibrillary tangles are composed of an abnormally hyperphosphorylated intracellular protein called tau, tightly wound into paired ...... hiện toàn bộ
Translating therapies for Huntington’s disease from genetic animal models to clinical trialsNeuroRX - Tập 1 - Trang 298-306 - 2004
Steven M. Hersch, Robert J. Ferrante
Genetic animal models of inherited neurological diseases provide an opportunity to test potential treatments and explore their promise for translation to humans experiencing these diseases. Therapeutic trials conducted in mouse models of Huntington’s disease have identified a growing number of potential therapies that are candidates for clinical trials. Although it is very exciting to have these c...... hiện toàn bộ
Therapeutic approaches and advances in pediatric strokeNeuroRX - Tập 3 - Trang 133-142 - 2012
Adam Kirton, Gabrielle deVeber
Evidence-based therapeutic interventions for pediatric ischemic cerebrovascular disease are beginning to emerge. The primary therapeutic target is usually the pathological prothrombotic disturbance that underlies the majority of pediatric stroke. A battle between anticoagulation and anti-platelet therapies continues to provide controversy and is the inspiration for upcoming randomized trials. Supp...... hiện toàn bộ
