摘要:
The present invention provides a new fusion protein which can specifically suppress the autoantibodies, which can effectively prevent or treat the autoimmune disease of autoantibody type, and which can be expressed in an amount sufficient for industrial production. A fusion protein, characterized in that, a protein (X) containing a site recognized by autoantibodies which are a cause of the autoimmune disease of autoantibody type is connected to a protein (A) containing a fragment of the antibody heavy chain constant region which exhibits the antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity with a linker peptide (L) consisting of one or more amino acid (s), wherein the protein (X), the linker peptide (L) and the protein (A) are connected in this order by means of peptide bond from N terminal to C terminal.
摘要:
When acute hepatitis progresses to fulminant hepatitis, a large amount of hepatic cells are rapidly broken, and as a result, the prognosis is seriously worsened. Thus, it is important to prognose the progress of acute hepatitis into fulminant hepatitis at an early stage and quickly start an appropriate treatment therefor. Although the prognosis of progress into fulminant hepatitis becomes possible owing to recent advances in test methods and diagnostic techniques, there has been no appropriate prophylactic/therapeutic agent for fulminant hepatitis. The present invention provides a therapeutic agent for acute hepatitis or a prophylactic/therapeutic agent for fulminant hepatitis with little side effect. The problem of the invention was solved by using a composition containing apolipoprotein A-II.
摘要:
An emulsion comprising L-Menthol, a fat or oil and a surfactant wherein oil particles have an average diameter of 100 nm or less inhibits a content reduction attributed to, for example, evaporation of L-menthol, enhances a light transmission through liquid and is stable despite long-term storage. Thus, the emulsion can be appropriately used in the temporary inhibition of contraction of gastrointestinal tract for, for example, observation of gastrointestinal tract by an endoscope. This emulsion can be obtained by heating an oil-in-water type emulsion comprising L-menthol, a fat or oil and a surfactant at 60°C or higher.

摘要:
It is known that L-menthol soothes smooth muscle motility. In order to use L-menthol in practice as a digestive tract motility soothing agent in digestive tract endoscopy, it is required to devise means of giving a preparation in which an L-menthol-containing solution remains stable and transparent or little cloudy over a long time after the production and which shows little foaming at the administration. To a smooth muscle motility soothing agent or a digestive tract motility soothing agent containing a relatively transparent L-menthol emulsion having an average particle size of less than 100 nm, a defoaming agent is further added. Thus, it is possible to obtain a preparation which remains stable over a long time, has a high light transmittance and suffers from no foaming in filling into a container or topical administration for, e.g., digestive tract endoscopy, thereby facilitating the observation of a disease area.

It is known that L-menthol controls smooth muscle contraction. In order to use L-menthol in practice as a digestive tract contraction inhibiting agent in digestive tract endoscopy, it is required to devise means of giving a formulation in which an L-menthol-containing formulation remains stable and transparent or little cloudy over a long time after the production and which shows little foaming at the administration. In the present invention, an antifoaming agent is further added to a formulation for inhibiting smooth muscle contraction or a peristaltic contraction in a digestive tract containing a L-menthol emulsion having an average particle size of less than 100nm. Thus, it is possible to obtain a formulation that remains stable over a long time, has a high light transmittance, and produces little foam when filled into a container and sprayed at a target area to inhibit contraction to facilitate observation of the area in endoscopic examination of the digestive tract etc.
