  • Publication number: 20190203231
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for treating prostate cancer patients. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that approximately 90% of men carrying at least one of the following fusion genes: TRMT11-GRIK2, SLC45A2-AMACR, MTOR-TP53BP1, LRRC59-FLJ60017, TMEM135-CCDC67 and CCNH-C5orf30 experienced prostate cancer recurrence, metastases and/or prostate cancer-specific death after radical prostatectomy (each examples of “progressive prostate cancer”), while these outcomes occurred in only 36% of men not carrying any of these fusion genes. It is also based, at least in part, on the discovery that a genome editing technique that specifically targets a fusion gene can induce cell death in a cancer cell that carries the fusion gene.

  • Publication number: 20190062974
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for preparing a hollow textile with a core-spun yarn of short-staple wrapped microporous alkali-soluble polyester filament, which includes a foaming microcapsule preparation step, a preparation step of alkali-soluble chips containing foaming microcapsules, a melt foaming and spinning step, and a hollow textile preparation step. In the method for preparing the hollow textile with the core-spun yarn of short-staple wrapped microporous alkali-soluble polyester filament, a hollow yarn or a hollow fabric is made from a polyester filament having a microporous structure through alkali dissolution. The polyester filament having a microporous structure can effectively increase the contact area of the alkali dissolution and has the advantages of high dissolution rate, short dissolution time and complete dissolution.

  • Publication number: 20180230547
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for determining whether a subject having prostate cancer is at an increased risk for relapse or rapid relapse. It is based, at least in part, on the results of a comprehensive genome analysis of 273 prostate cancer samples, which indicate that the percentage of large size CNVs predicts prostate cancer relapse. In certain embodiments, a method for determining whether a prostate cancer patient has an increased risk of suffering a relapse or a rapid relapse comprises determining the number and size of CNVs in a sample and determining a large size ratio, where if the large size ratio exceeds a particular threshold, the patient is deemed to be at an increased risk for relapse or rapid relapse.
