  • Publication number: 20230383350
    Abstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most prevalent chronic autoimmune inflammatory rheumatism. Its pathophysiology is largely dependent on TNF. Severe RA as well as several other inflammatory and autoimmune diseases are treated with TNF inhibitors (TNFi). However, to date only 30-50% achieve low disease activity or remission with this treatment regimen and some patients experience secondary non-response or relapse. Herein, the inventors evaluated by RT-qPCR the mRNA expression of CD36, which was already described to be regulated by TNFi5, some specific NRF2 target genes (FBX030, GABARA, LBR, MAFG, OSGIN1, HMOX1), which play a role in the anti-oxidative stress response or anti-inflammatory pathway, and the expression of CSMD1, an anti-inflammatory gene that we observed as up-regulated by all TNFi.

  • Patent number: 6158966
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pump of resin deposition on a semiconductive wafer including a pump body divided by a membrane of definition of a resin dispensation chamber and of a control chamber and an element of filtration of the resin before its dispensation to an outlet access of the pump body. The pump includes a control system for injecting the resin under constant pressure into the control chamber and aspiring the resin from the control chamber, and a capacitive presence sensor for detecting a first position of the membrane.
