摘要:
An application of a marker of a calcium-overload-mediated neuronal death in a preparation of a drug for treating multiple aging-related neurodegenerative diseases and in a disease testing method is provided. The aging-related neurodegenerative diseases include an Alzheimer's disease, a Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or glaucoma. The marker of the calcium-overload-mediated neuronal death and the application thereof, used in the present invention, are therapeutically effective for treating the Alzheimer's disease, the Parkinson's disease, the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and the glaucoma. Moreover, calcium overload and TLK2 hyperphosphorylation may be used as new molecular markers for predicting a disease occurrence progress or testing a therapeutic effect.

摘要:
The present invention concerns a method for diagnosing or monitoring elevated intraocular pressure or glaucoma in a patient comprising providing a biological sample from the patient and measuring the expression level of a superoxide dismutase-2 (SOD-2) gene in the biological sample. The present invention also concerns methods for treating glaucoma or elevated intraocular pressure in a patient comprising administering to a patient an effective amount of an agent that modulates SOD-2 expression or SOD-2 activity.
摘要:
To provide a gene examination method for predicting the onset risk of glaucoma based on the relation between a glaucoma-associated gene and the onset of glaucoma, the onset of glaucoma in future is predicted by using as an indication mutations in the gene region involving the code region and/or the upstream region of a glaucoma-associated gene. In the base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1, mutation(s) in at least one of the following positions are detected, i.e., the 194-, 199-, 324-, 1051-, 1084-, 1627-, 1685-, 1756-, 1853-, 2830-, 3371-, 4037- and 4364-positions.

摘要:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for processing fundus images using fundus image processing machine learning models. One of the methods includes obtaining a model input comprising one or more fundus images, each fundus image being an image of a fundus of an eye of a patient; processing the model input using a fundus image processing machine learning model, wherein the fundus image processing machine learning model is configured to process the model input comprising the one or more fundus image to generate a model output; and processing the model output to generate health analysis data.

摘要:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for treating glaucoma, methods for diagnosing glaucoma, and methods for identifying agents which may be useful in the treatment of glaucoma. More specifically, the present invention describes the use of agents that modulate the expression of serum amyloid A.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods to treat glaucoma and glaucoma-related conditions through the regulation of changes in gene expression that are mediated by high intraocular pressure or α2 macgroglobulin administration. Glaucoma, retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death and chronic ocular hypertension are treated using pharmaceutical compositions which comprise substances that inhibit the expression or activity of intraocular pressure-regulated early genes (IPREGs) or their gene products that are up-regulated by high intraocular pressure or α2 macgroglobulin administration and/or which increase the expression or activity of IPREGs or their gene products that are down-regulated by high intraocular pressure or α2 macgroglobulin administration. The invention also relates to methods of identifying an IPREG and methods to test for chronic ocular degeneration and the onset of RGC stress in an individual by measuring the expression level of IPREG proteins.
摘要:
The invention provides methods for diagnosing patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), as well as methods for identifying agents for use in treating POAG and methods of using such agents in prevention and treatment of the disease.
