摘要:
An intralesional method for treating a hypertrophic scar or keloid using a cryoprobe. The method comprises: (a) inserting the cryoprobe into the hypertrophic scar or keloid so that the cryoprobe is positioned within the hypertrophic scar or keloid; and (b) introducing a cryogen into the cryoprobe thereby freezing the hypertrophic scar or keloid. The cryoprobe has a sealed distal end comprising a cutting tip. Also disclosed is a cryoprobe comprising an elongated, uninsulated housing having a sealed distal end and a proximal end. The housing comprises therein a cryogen inlet tube. The cryoprobe further comprises a cutting tip at the distal end of the housing and a cryogen vent adjacent to the proximal end and in fluid communication with the interior of the housing.
摘要:
A method of treating multiple sclerosis, the method comprises administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a compound, the compound having: (a) a combination of molecular weight and membrane miscibility properties for permitting the compound to cross the blood brain barrier of the organism; (b) a readily oxidizable chemical group for exerting antioxidation properties; and (c) a chemical make-up for permitting the compound or its intracellular derivative to accumulate within the cytoplasm of cells.
摘要:
A method of reducing oxidative stress in the brain of an organism having a blood brain barrier and suffering an ischemic brain injury, the method comprising the step of administering a compound to the organism, the compound having (a) a combination of molecular weight and membrane miscibility properties for permitting the compound to cross the blood brain barrier of the organism; (b) a readily oxidizable chemical group for exerting antioxidation properties; and (c) a chemical make-up for permitting the compound or its intracellular derivative to accumulate within the cytoplasm of cells.
摘要:
A method is described for the diagnosis of an ovarian or endometrial tumor or for a prognosis, characterized in that the L1 level is determined in a patient sample, preferably via an anti L1 antibody, the presence of L1 being an indication of the presence of an ovarian or endometrial tumor or a predisposition for such a tumor.
摘要:
The invention concerns novel DNA and amino acid sequences of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) raised against lymphoblastoid cells and peptides to which the mAbs bind to. The invention also concerns diagnostic assays using said antibodies or peptides for detecting individuals with a high probability of having a malignant disease and, at times, for detecting an individual having a specific malignant disease. The invention further concerns pharmaceutical compositions comprising the mAbs or peptides of the invention for use in the treatment of various malignant diseases as well as methods for the treatment of malignant diseases using the mAbs or peptides of the invention.
摘要:
Pharmaceutical compositions comprising erythropoietin are provided for treatment of cancer, particularly for treatment of muliple myeloma. Erythropoietin was found to be effective for inhibition of tumor growth, triggering of tumor regression, stimulation of the natural immunological defense against cancer and/or inhibition of cancer cell metastasis.
摘要:

The compositions of the invention are to and the methods of the invention use hydroxy and ether-containing oxyalkylene esters.
摘要:
A system comprising an elongated mesh deployment tool having a proximal tool part and a distal tool part. The system comprises one or more wires for coupling a surgical mesh with the distal tool part, where the wires are coupled to the surgical mesh and the distal tool part in one or more locations. The distal tool part is configured for deploying the surgical mesh at a hernia location, where the deploying is performed by pulling the one or more wires in a proximal direction to mount the surgical mesh in a spread configuration near the hernia location.
