摘要:
The present invention relates to liquid sustained release suspension dosage forms comprising ionized forms of water-soluble drugs. In particular, the invention encompasses a liquid form controlled release drug composition comprising a dispersed phase comprising an ion-exchange matrix drug complex comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable a ion-exchange matrix and a water-soluble electrolytic drug associated with the ion-exchange matrix, wherein the surface charge of the ion-exchange matrix is opposite that of the electrolytic drug wherein the dispersed phase further comprises a non-electrolytic, soluble component having low molecular weight and a diffusion controlling membrane and a dispersion medium substantially free of diffusible counterions, further comprising an excipient capable of associating with water and impeding water activity such that drug dissolution is inhibited prior to administration. The invention also provides methods for preparing such compositions and methods of treatment.

摘要:
The present invention can be used for actual implantation surgery without a scaffold. The present invention provides a synthetic tissue or complex which can be produced by culture and has a high level of differentiation ability. The present invention also provides a therapy and medicament for repairing and/or regenerating tissue using replacement and covering. By culturing cells under specific culture conditions such that medium contains an extracellular matrix synthesis promoting agent, the cells are organized and are easily detached from a culture dish. The present invention was achieved by finding such a phenomenon. In addition, the self contraction of the tissue can be regulated by culturing the tissue in a suspended manner. Therefore, it is possible to regulate the three-dimensional shape of the tissue. The present invention also provides a method for producing an implantable synthetic tissue which does not require a plurality of monolayer cell sheets assembled to form a three-dimensionally structured synthetic tissue. The present invention is characterized by richness in adhesion molecules, nonnecessity of additional fixation at an implantation site, and good biological integration.
摘要:
The invention provides a method for screening for a compound for modulating circadian rhythm. The method involves (a) providing a compound that is a Prokineticin 2 (PK2) receptor antagonist or agonist; and (b) determining the ability of the compound to modulate one or more indicia of circadian rhythm function, wherein a compound that modulates one or more indicia of circadian rhythm function is identified as a compound for modulating circadian rhythm. The invention also provides a mouse PK2 receptor nucleic acid, polypeptide and related compositions. Further provided is a method for modulating circadian rhythm of an animal, which involves administering an effective amount of a PK2 receptor antagonist or agonist to an animal. Also provided is an isolated nucleic acid comprising a PK2 gene promoter operatively linked to a heterologous nucleotide sequence.
摘要:
The invention provides a method for identifying and quantifying polyglycopeptides in a sample. The method can include the steps of immobilizing glycopolypeptides to a solid support; cleaving the immobilized glycopolypeptides, thereby releasing non-glycosylated peptides and retaining immobilized glycopeptides; releasing the glycopeptides from the solid support; and analyzing the released glycopeptides. The method can further include the step of identifying one or more glycopeptides, for example, using mass spectrometry.
