自身免疫疾病:Feldmann Wins獲獎(jiǎng) 【?2007-05-31 發(fā)布?】 美迪醫(yī)訊
Marc Feldmann教授在歐洲發(fā)明家大會(huì)上被授予終身成就獎(jiǎng)。他在確定自身免疫疾病諸如關(guān)節(jié)炎自身免疫發(fā)病機(jī)制上做出了巨大的貢獻(xiàn)。 Feldmann來自倫敦帝國(guó)大學(xué)Kennedy風(fēng)濕病研究中心。他發(fā)現(xiàn)了自身免疫疾病細(xì)胞交流時(shí)分子反應(yīng)的關(guān)鍵因子,就是我們現(xiàn)在說的細(xì)胞因子。細(xì)胞因子通常是由患病細(xì)胞為激發(fā)相反-效應(yīng)所釋放的蛋白質(zhì)。Feldmann發(fā)現(xiàn)在自身免疫疾病中,增高計(jì)數(shù)的細(xì)胞因子也存在于其它健康細(xì)胞周圍。這可解釋病人關(guān)節(jié)周圍風(fēng)濕炎性區(qū)域?yàn)槭裁磿?huì)發(fā)生聚集反應(yīng)。 1991年,F(xiàn)eldmann教授和他的協(xié)作者發(fā)現(xiàn)所有不同的細(xì)胞因子在僅阻斷一種的情況下終止其全部效應(yīng),這種因子就是腫瘤壞死因子。1992年,Kennedy研究中心內(nèi)第一次成功對(duì)風(fēng)濕性關(guān)節(jié)炎病人做了試驗(yàn)。通過使用腫瘤移植壞死因子阻斷劑后,試驗(yàn)結(jié)果取得巨大的成功,護(hù)士憑肉眼就能判斷。 自從1995年這種方法申請(qǐng)后。腫瘤壞死因子抑制劑已經(jīng)作為治療風(fēng)濕性關(guān)節(jié)炎及其他自身免疫疾病中止炎癥和組織-破壞途經(jīng)的主要選擇方案。 這是第二次授予歐洲發(fā)明獎(jiǎng),是由歐盟辦公室委員會(huì)頒發(fā)的。這項(xiàng)獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)肯定那些在歐洲科技進(jìn)步上有長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)貢獻(xiàn)的創(chuàng)新者。獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)的確立由獨(dú)立的國(guó)際仲裁委員會(huì)決定。 來源: Imperial College London Autoimmune Diseases: Feldmann Wins Award Professor Marc Feldmann was honoured with a lifetime achievement award at the European Inventor of the Year awards for his work identifying why autoimmune diseases such as arthritis cause the immune system to fight itself. Feldmann, from the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology at Imperial College London, discovered that the key to autoimmune diseases lay in molecules responsible for cell communication, known as cytokines. Cytokines are normally released by diseased cells for the purpose of alerting the immune system to initiate a counter-response. Feldmann discovered that in autoimmune diseases, highly increased cytokine counts also exist around otherwise healthy cells. This explained the body’s aggressive reaction in areas of arthritic inflammation around patients’ joints. In 1991, Professor Feldmann and his colleagues found that all the different cytokines could be stopped by blocking one kind, Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF)a. In 1992, the first series of successful trials were run with rheumatoid arthritis patients at the Kennedy Institute. The improvements in patients’ health were so dramatic that the nurses could identify by mere sight which patients had been given a placebo and which had received TNFa blockers. Since the method was patented in 1995, TNFa inhibitors have become the therapy of choice for stopping the inflammatory and tissue-destructive pathways of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases. This is the second time that outstanding inventors were honoured with the European Inventor of the Year award, which is instituted by the EU Commission and European Patent Office (EPO). The awards recognise innovators and innovations that have made a significant and lasting contribution to technical development in Europe and beyond, and thus strengthened Europe’s economic position. The finalists were selected by an independent high-profile international jury. MEDICA.de; Source: Imperial College London 《美迪醫(yī)訊》歡迎您參與新聞投稿,業(yè)務(wù)咨詢: 美迪醫(yī)療網(wǎng)業(yè)務(wù)咨詢
