  • Publication number: 20130231309
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are disclosed for decreasing the amount and activity of matrix-degrading metalloproteinases (MMPs) in and around cells. The compositions and methods are useful for treating and/or preventing symptoms of diseases including but not limited to Hypertension, Type II Diabetes, and Metabolic Syndrome X. Such treatment is effected by normalizing the blood plasma's protease activity, reducing blood pressure, preventing membrane receptor cleavage, and reducing the levels of insulin resistance and oxygen free radicals in the blood stream.

  • Patent number: 7918024
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a turbine nozzle assembly using a fixture includes providing a first position of the fixture, positioning at least one datum of the turbine nozzle assembly adjacent at least one datum location point on the fixture when the fixture is in the first position, coupling the turbine nozzle assembly to the fixture when the fixture is in the first position, rotating the fixture from the first position into a second position that facilitates manufacturing the turbine nozzle assembly, and performing a manufacturing process on the turbine nozzle assembly when the fixture is in the second position.

  • Publication number: 20070294107
    Abstract: Compounds and methods of treatment of inflammation are presented that serve to enhance MMP inhibition to block elevation of MMP activity in various disease conditions. Such treatment leads to normalization of function, blockade of the elevated levels of oxygen free radical production in the microcirculation, normalization of the elevated plasma levels of MMP 2, 9 activity, normalization of immune cell counts, and reduced apoptosis. Also included are methods of deriving value from increased sales of public domain compositions following recognition of their usefulness in treating the diseases. Of particular interest is use of doxycycline to treat diabetes and hypertension.
