A Mathematical Modeling Approach to Understanding the Effect of Anti‐Interleukin Therapy on Eosinophils
نویسندگان
چکیده
Emerging T-helper type 2 (Th2 ) cytokine-based asthma therapies, such as tralokinumab, lebrikizumab (anti-interleukin (IL)-13), and mepolizumab (anti-IL-5), have shown differences in their blood eosinophil (EOS) response. To better understand these effects, we developed a mathematical model of EOS dynamics. For the anti-IL-13 therapies, lebrikizumab and tralokinumab, the model predicted an increase of 30% and 10% in total and activated EOS in the blood, respectively, and a decrease in the total and activated EOS in the airways. The model predicted a rapid decrease in total and activated EOS levels in blood and airways for the anti-IL-5 therapy mepolizumab. All model-based predictions were consistent with published clinical observations. The modeling approach provided insights into EOS response after treatment with Th2 -targeted therapies, and supports the hypothesis that an increase in blood EOS after anti-IL-13 therapy is part of the pharmacological action of these therapies.

The Effect of Experiment Range of Control Variables on the Efficiency of Regression Modeling
The efficient planning of each system requires an understanding of the true nature of the system. Regression models also represent a system that its input variables, the role of the system input, its variables coefficients, the role of the system process, and its response variables, play the role of the system output. Therefore, for exact regression modeling and efficient planning, it's essenti...

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurologic diseases around the world and more significantly in Iran (0.4-1 % worldwide and 5% in Iran). Almost one-third of these patients suffer from treatment-resistant epilepsy, which reduces their quality of life by recurring epileptic onsets. There are different approaches for the treatment of both treatment-resistant and treatment-nonresistant epilepsy, ...
