Crohn's Disease Inflammatory bowel disease, encompassing Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), represent incurable chronic inflammatory disorders of the intestinal tract. Patients with IBD experience a chronic relapsing and remitting course of their disease, with little ability to
A pathophysiological role for inflammation in schizophrenia has been one of the more enduring findings in the field. Recently, increased understanding of complex interactions between inflammation and the brain in other chronic diseases has better informed this relationship in schizophrenia. Several
This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study of SBI, colesevelam, and placebo in patients undergoing autologous HSCT for the clinical care of multiple myeloma.
The number of adults undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) has grown significantly over the past two
The role of the proteasome in carcinogenesis and cell survival has been well established, and its inhibition associated with an accumulation of pro-apoptotic proteins and cell death. Proteasome inhibitors, such has bortezomib, have been extensively studied and are widely used as effective therapy in
Scientific background. Diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased prevalence and incidence of cardiovascular diseases. It is believed that the high cardiovascular risk in diabetes is attributable to the adverse effects of glucotoxicity and lipotoxicity on endothelial cells. Recent data

Describe succinctly and clearly the past findings which justify the plan for this project. A summary of the relevant literature in the area of interest and reports of previous studies should be included.
For majority of lymphoma patients who relapse after complete response or who are primary
Disease background:
MM is a plasma cell tumor. It accounted for an estimated 20,180 new cases of cancer and 11,170 deaths in the United States in 2010. With a prevalence of 23 per 100,000 people, MM is an orphan disease (prevalence <5:10,000). The median age at diagnosis is 60-65 years. Although MM
In the United States, the incidence of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is approximately 3.5 cases per 100,000 persons per year. Approximately 13,000 people were diagnosed with AML in 2009 and 9,000 died of the disease, making AML the 6th leading cause of cancer death. Over the past three decades, AML
Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a common hematologic malignancy characterized by clonal expansion of transformed plasma cells (PCs) in the bone marrow1. Over the past decade, the introduction of immunomodulatory agents (such as thalidomide and lenalidomide) and proteasome inhibitors (such as bortezomib) as
Phase I/II studies of the novel proteasome inhibitor, carfilzomib, have shown it to have significant activity in patients with advanced multiple myeloma, including patients with bortezomib refractory disease. This drug, unlike bortezomib, has minimal neurotoxicity and appears to have minimal
Perifosine is an oral anticancer agent with limited toxicity and a novel mechanism of action that is distinctly different from cytotoxic chemotherapies. It has been shown to inhibit and otherwise modify signaling through a number of pathways including Akt, p21, and JNK. Perifosine has been tested in
