Abstract:
The invention relates to a composition for promoting angiogenesis, for controlling DNA synthesis of a cell, and for controlling chemotactic motility of a cell. The invention also relates to a method for treating ischemia diseases.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compositions, kits and treating methods for the alteration cell-cell adhesion, transport, or permeation properties of tissues. The present invention also relates to the application of drug(s) or peptide(s), compound or gene delivery, DNA or RNA(i), cosmetic or therapeutic use of the compositions and kits.
Abstract:
A method for blocking, inhibiting and/or decreasing cluster of differentiation 14 (CD14) function, CD14-mediated cellular response and/or treating CD14-mediated pathological conditions is disclosed. The method comprises administering to a subject in need thereof a pharmaceutical composition comprising: (a) a therapeutically effective amount of a recombinant protein comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein the recombinant protein does not comprises a lectin-like domain 1 of a human thrombomodulin; and (b) a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, carrier, diluent, excipients, and/or salt.
Abstract:
A method for pharmacological prevention and suppression of aortic aneurysm development is disclosed. The method comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of recombinant thrombomodulin to a subject in need thereof. The recombinant thrombomodulin prevents formation and/or retards progression of an aortic aneurysm.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for providing bactericide or bacteriostatic, especially for treating disease due to bacterial infection. The method comprising administering a patient in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of dextromethorphan or naloxone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or an analog thereof. The compound is applied to skin or mucosal surface of the patient. The invention also relates to a method of treating inflammation caused by suppressing secretion of TNF-α, IL-6, or MCP-1 from macrophage comprising administering a patient in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of NADPH oxidase inhibitor.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a composition for promoting angiogenesis, for controlling DNA synthesis of a cell, and for controlling chemotactic motility of a cell. The invention also relates to a method for treating ischemia diseases.
Abstract:
Mutants of streptokinase in which one or more amino acid residues in the region of Pro58-Lys59-Ser60-Lys61 were replaced by other amino acids become better fibrinolytic agents. The mutants are resistant to the hydrolytic inactivation by plasmin and are more efficient in inducing fibrinolysis of plasma clots.
Abstract:
The present application relates to dual anti-angiogenic and anti-inflammatory effects of recombinant thrombomodulin domain 1 (TMD1). Specifically, an isolated recombinant polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 80% identical to TMD1 for use in treating an eye disease and/or an eye disorder associated with pathological ocular angiogenesis (POA) in a subject in need thereof is disclosed. The length of the recombinant polypeptide is no more than 200 amino acid residues. The eye disease and/or the eye disorder may be at least one selected from the group consisting of retinopathy of prematurity, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration. Use of TMD1 in the manufacture of a medicament for treating an eye disease and/or an eye disorder associated with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced ocular angiogenesis and/or hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)-VEGF pathway is also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for binding Lewis Y antigen of a subject, comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of N-terminal lectin-like domain of thrombomodulin (TMD1), or its analogues.
