摘要:
The present invention relates generally to methods and compounds for regulating the release of nitric oxide in the vicinity of biofilm-forming microorganisms to regulate programmed cell death in the microorganisms and thereby promote dispersal of microorganism from biofilms and/or inhibit biofilm formation or development. More particularly, the invention relates to the use of compounds to provide spatial and temporal control over nitric oxide release.
摘要:
The inventors have determined, contrary to the prior art and experience, how to successfully use triciribine to treat esophogeal adenocarcinoma by one or a combination of (i) administering triciribine only to patients which according to a diagnostic test described below, exhibit enhanced sensitivity to the drug; (ii) use of a described dosage level that minimizes the toxicity of the drug but yet still exhibits efficacy; or (iii) use of a described dosage regimen that minimizes the toxicity of the drug.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a tidal current power generator. In the tidal current power generator, tidal current flows in a concentrated manner into a power generation module for generating electrical energy using the flow of tidal current, in order to increase the speed of the tidal current. Thus, the amount of electrical energy generated by the power generation module may be improved to achieve highly efficient performance. Also, the range of locations in which the power generation module may be installed is significantly expanded in order to increase the electrical generation using tidal current. Since the power generation module is integrally assembled and then refloated in order to install same on the bottom of the sea, the power generation module may be easily installed as well as easily repaired and maintained.
摘要:
The invention encompasses protectant agents including uracil or a metabolite thereof that effectively treat the cutaneous toxicities and dermatological side-effects associated with chemotherapeutic agents. Specifically, and surprisingly, the compositions of the invention including uracil or a metabolite thereof are effective for treating various dermatoses including atopic dermatitis, irritant contact dermatitis, radiation-induced dermatitis, dry skin dermatitis, papulopustular rashes, xerosis, pruitus, actinic keratosis, and genital warts.
摘要:
The invention relates to an edible product containing a decontaminant. Particularly, the invention relates to an edible product, for instance, a food-like product, containing an effective amount of activated charcoal to mitigate, substantially reduce or cause the cessation of at least one adverse effect associated with the ingestion of a toxic substance. The invention also relates to methods for manufacturing such a decontaminant edible product and uses thereof.
摘要:
This invention concerns novel antibiotic peptide and peptide derivates, especially for use in medicine. Further, the invention relates to compositions and methods for killing microbes, like bacteria or fungus, and methods to treat microbial infections. The invention further relates to a method for drug screening analysis. The peptides and peptide derivates have the general formula Sub1-X1 N X2 X3 P V Y I P X4 X5 R P P H P-Sub2 (SEQ ID NO:169) wherein X1 is a neutral or positively charged moiety, X2 is a polar or positively charged moiety, X3 is a positively charged moiety, X4 is a polar or positively charged moiety, X5 is a proline or a proline derivate, Sub1 being the free or modified N-terminus, and Sub2 being the free or modified C-terminus. The peptides or peptide derivates according to the invention possess at least one of the following advantages compared to the natural occurring apidaecin peptides: (i) an increased half-live in mammalian serum due to a higher protease resistance and (ii) an increased antimicrobial activity against one or several bacterial strains, especially human pathogens, or fungus or other microbial infections (iii) show an enlarged spectrum of antimicrobial activity, (iv) do induce less resistance in microbes and (v) are not toxic to human cells including erythrocytes.

摘要:
The invention provides methods for production of gangliosides, e.g., GM1, from cells in culture using, for example, bone marrow cells and neuroblastoma cells. Methods include the treatment of cells with neural induction media and chloroquine, or chloroquine alone in the case of, e.g., human bone marrow cells, neuraminidase or glucosamine, to induce the production of gangliosides, e.g., GM1, in the cells. Also provided are methods of long-term, high density culturing of cells without passaging to produce gangliosides, e.g., GM1. Methods of quantifying gangliosides, e.g., GM1 in cell culture are also provided.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods of preparing an antibody- or antibody fragment-targeted cationic immunoliposome or polymer complex comprising (a) preparing an antibody or antibody fragment; (b) mixing said antibody or antibody fragment with a cationic liposome to form a cationic immunoliposome or with a cationic polymer to form a polyplex; and (c) mixing said cationic immunoliposome or said polyplex with a therapeutic or diagnostic agent to form said antibody- or antibody fragment-targeted cationic immunoliposome or polymer complex. The present invention also provides cationic immunoliposome or polymer complexes produced by such methods and compositions comprising such complexes. The present invention also provides methods for treating various diseases and disorders, including cancers, by administering the complexes and compositions of the invention to a patient.
