A patient-treatment system and related method provide relief from, and treatment for, muscle spasticity disorders, Willis-Ekbom disease, contracture, sleep onset insomnia, sleep maintenance insomnia, rheumatoid arthritis, and other similar disorders by applying controlled heat, and optionally muscle monitoring/stimulation, to one or more parts of a patient's body.

Disclosed are compositions and methods for the treatment and/or prevention of rheumatoid arthritis, comprising administering to a subject an effective amount of anti-IL-1β antibody or fragment thereof.

The present invention relates to a method aiding in the assessment of rheumatoid arthritis. The method especially is used in the differential diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis in vitro. The method is for example practiced by analyzing biochemical markers, comprising measuring in a sample both the concentration of anti-CCP and of antinuclear antibodies (ANA) correlating the concentrations determined to the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. To further improve the assessment of RA in a method of this invention the level of one or more additional marker may be determined together with anti-CCP and ANA and be correlated to the absence or presence of RA. The invention also relates to the use of a marker panel comprising anti-CCP and ANA in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis and it teaches a kit for performing the method of the invention.

The invention relates to the molecular biology field and particularly relates to a gene knockout carrier, a construction method and application thereof and a gene knockout method of an NLRP1 gene of an MH7A cell. A CRISPR-Cas9 gene knockout system is utilized for carrying out CRISPR targeting sequence design by taking NLRP1 as a target gene so as to prepare a knockout carrier aiming at the NLRP1 gene, and the knockout carrier is utilized for transfecting the MH7A cell, so that the NLRP1 gene in the MH7A cell can be efficiently knocked out; and therefore, a research platform for rheumatoid arthritis is effectively built, so that the research of the pathogenesis of the rheumatoid arthritis is greatly promoted, and the researches of the interaction of NLRP1 inflammasomes and various inflammatory factors and the disease related molecular mechanisms of the rheumatoid arthritis and meningitis can be promoted.
