摘要:
A therapeutic agent and a treatment method for uremia of human and animals, which therapeutic agent can be easily taken, has lower side effects, and which is not expensive in view of medical economics, are disclosed. The therapeutic agent for uremia in patients suffering from chronic renal failure comprises as an effective ingredient a prostaglandin I 2 derivative having a specific structure, such as beraprost sodium. The therapeutic agent for uremia ameliorates the uremia concurred in patients with chronic renal failure without accompanying side effects, and restoration of decreased appetite, improvements in activities, increase in body weight and the like are achieved. The therapeutic effect of uremia is clear alleviation or disappearance of symptoms of uremia grasped as clinical symptoms, observed in the state of renal failure, especially even in spite of the state wherein the decrease in renal function is progressed.

摘要:
A medicine for preventing and treating bleeding tendency containing IL-6 as an active ingredient. The administration of IL-6 serves to enhance the functions of both blood platelets and hemangioendothelial cells to thereby remedy hemorrhagic diathesis, thus enhancing the hemostatic function. Thus IL-6 is useful as an excellent medicine for preventing and treating bleeding tendency, since it has an activity of efficiently inhibiting the bleeding tendency of a living organism and is per se a physiologically active substance derived from a living organism. Therefore IL-6 is useful in treating various bleeding tendencies, such as one caused by bone marrow inhibition after cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy, one observed after bone marrow transplantation, one observed in hypoplastic anemia, or one observed in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.

A preventive and remedy for diseases caused by fibrinoid or thrombus formation in the lung, containing an interleukin-6 inhibitor as the active ingredient. A model animal for such diseases, which is a rat in whose lung fibrinoid or thrombus formation has occured induced by interleukin-6.
摘要:
A useful remedy for bone diseases comprising beta -interferon which has the effect of relatively promoting osteogenesis without showing any calcification insufficiency as observed in the case of gamma -interferon. In particular, the preventive and therapeutic effects of beta -interferon have been proved as an increase in the bone mass in a model animal with bone diseases. Also, an interferon inducer is potentially usable as a remedy for bone diseases.
摘要:
By the present invention, the relative action to promote bone formation by IFNβ was proved. The action to inhibit mineralization as shown by interferon γ is not observed with interferon β. Especially, usefulness of interferon β as a drug for treating bone disorders was shown, whose effect for prevention and therapy of bone disorders was confirmed in the bone disorder model animals in terms of increase in the bone volume. Further, the possibility of using interferon inducers as drugs for treating bone disorders was discovered.
