摘要:
A process for production of a nonwoven fabric, which comprises a step wherein a thermoplastic polymer is dissolved in a mixed solvent composed of a volatile good solvent and a volatile poor solvent, a step wherein the resulting solution is spun by an electrospinning method and a step wherein a nonwoven fabric accumulated on a collecting sheet is obtained, is employed to provide a nonwoven fabric having a surface area sufficiently large as a matrix for cell culturing in the field of regenerative medicine, with large gaps between filaments and a low apparent density suitable for cell culturing.

摘要:
A tissue regeneration substrate comprising a film with a honeycomb structure composed primarily of a polymer compound and a phospholipid. A tissue regeneration complex comprising the tissue regeneration substrate and cells held in the tissue regeneration substrate. The substrate is particularly suitable for regeneration of cartilage tissue, and allows growth of cartilage tissue in a three-dimensional fashion.

A protein having human plasmin inhibiting activity, substantially equivalent reactivity with human plasmin to a human .alpha..sub.2 -plasmin inhibitor derived from plasma, a binding ability to human fibrin about 1/4 to about 1/3 of that of the human .alpha..sub.2 -plasmin inhibitor derived from plasma, and a molecular weight of about 50,000 to about 77,000.
摘要:
A pharmaceutical composition having an inhibitory effect on the overproduction and the accumulation of extracellular matrix, said composition comprising as an active ingredient a compound that inhibits the biological activity of galectin-3, which pharmaceutical composition can serve as a therapeutic or preventive agent for glomerular nephritis, diabetic nephropathy or tissue fibrosis, as well as the use of said compound for the production of pharmaceuticals for the above-mentioned use, and a method for inhibition of the overproduction and accumulation of the extracellular matrix.

摘要:
Compounds for use in the treatment of heart disease include a superoxide scavenger and an organic nitrate or nitrite moiety. The compounds can be represented by the formula (A)n(B)m, in which A is a superoxide scavenger, B is an organic nitrate or organic nitrite moiety, and n and m are values between 1 and 8. These compounds do not suffer from the problem of patient tolerance that is associated with the use of conventional agents such as organic nitrates.
