摘要:
A method of inhibiting plaque formation on mammalian tooth surfaces is disclosed. The method includes contacting the tooth surfaces with an effective amount of a non-antibacterial tetracycline. In a preferred embodiment, such tetracyclines are included in various oral hygiene products such as dentifrices, lozenges, chewing gums and the like to contact the tooth surfaces and prevent plaque accumulation thereon.
摘要:
Pharmacologically acceptable chemotactic agents when applied to gingival crevices cause the migration of crevicular fluid containing crevicular leucocytes into the said gingival crevice.A quantitative correlation has been found between the amount of crevicular fluid migrating into the crevice and the crevicular fluid migrating into the crevice and the crevicular leucocytes contained therein after chemotactic challenge.It has further been shown that the amount of fluid and leucocytes migrating into said crevice gave a predictable relationship to the migratory activity of leucocytes obtained from the same subject when measured by conventional in vitro means.A rapid, convenient and simple method is thus provided for detecting certain diseases involving leucocyte migratory activity abnormalities for example diabetes mellitus and periodontosis.
摘要:
A method of increasing production of one or more lipoxins in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject an amount of a compound having the structure: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof, so as to thereby increase production of the one or more lipoxins in the subject.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for decreasing elevated serum/plasma LDL-cholesterol levels or LDL-cholesterol levels and CRP levels in a mammal in need thereof. The methods comprises administering an effective amount of a tetracycline formulation. In one embodiment, the tetracycline formulation is a non-antibacterial tetracycline. In another embodiment, the tetracycline formulation is an antibacterial tetracycline at a sub-antibacterial amount.
摘要:
A method for treating mammals suffering from conditions associated with excess phospholipase A.sub.2 activity and/or production comprising administering to the mammal an effective amount of a non-antimicrobial tetracycline sufficient to inhibit excess phospholipase A.sub.2 activity and/or production is disclosed. A pharmaceutical composition is also disclosed.
摘要:
A method for treating mammals suffering from skeletal muscle wasting and/or intracellular protein degradation of skeletal muscle systems by administering to the mammal an amount of tetracycline which results in a significant reduction of the muscle wasting and protein degradation is disclosed. In addition, there is also disclosed a method of increasing the protein content of skeletal muscle systems of mammals by administration of tetracyclines. The tetracyclines useful in the above methods are both antimicrobial and non-antimicrobial. In a preferred embodiment, the method of treatment utilizes a non-antimicrobial tetracycline such as dedimethylaminotetracycline (CMT).
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of inhibiting the growth of or promoting differentiation and destruction of cancer stem cells (CSCs) comprising contacting the cancer stem cells with a compound having the structure: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
摘要:
The invention is a method for reducing the production of inflammatory mediators, and/or treating conditions characterized by increased levels of inflammatory mediators, in a mammal in need thereof, by administering a 4-dedimethlaminosancycline to the mammal.
摘要:
The invention relates to methods and test kits for diagnosis of periodontal disease activity in mammals, especially in human. The methods of the invention provide for rapid chair-side diagnosis of periodontitis, peri-implantitis and HIV (+)-infection/AIDS-disease related periodontal diseases. Especially, the methods of the invention provide for rapid chair-side diagnosis of the loss of bone density associated with periodontal diseases.
摘要:
A method for inhibiting the formation and progression of abnormal vascular dilatation and/or aneurysms. The method includes administering a tetracycline compound to a mammal in an amount which is effective against the formation or progression of aneurysm, or which is effective to induce regression of an established abnormal dilatation or aneurysm. The method is of particular advantage in the treatment of mammals having an abdominal aortic aneurysm, a relatively common, and life-threatening, condition. Further, there is provided a method for inhibiting elastolytic activity in vascular tissue, to diminish excessive proteolytic degradation of vascular elastic tissues, wherein such degradation is associated with abnormal vascular dilatation or aneurysm. Also provided is an apparatus for treating mammals suffering from an abnormal vascular dilatation and/or aneurysm.
