    Abstract: A method of treating tinnitus in a subject is described that includes administering a therapeutically effective amount of a group II metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) agonist to the subject. A method of screening a subject having tinnitus for treatment with a group II mGluR agonist that includes testing the use of residual inhibition to suppress tinnitus in the subject, wherein suppression of tinnitus by residual inhibition indicates that a group II mGluR agonist would be effective for treating tinnitus in the subject, is also described.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a methods for extending the period of filtering bleb survival and/or providing for long term bleb survival following Glaucoma Filtration Surgery by delivering an ALK-5 inhibitor to a wound area (the surgical site) of a patient's eye. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for the controlled delivery of an ALK-5 inhibitor to patient's eye using a thermo-sensitive polymer formulation, wherein the ALK-5 inhibitor is first contained in the polymer formulation at a temperature sufficient to maintain the formulation as a liquid and then applied to the eye wound opening, wherein the formulation turns to a gel. The use of the thermo-sensitive gel with ALK-5 inhibitor contained therein, provides for longer term bleb survival following Glaucoma Filtration Surgery (GFS) on a patient's eye. Thus, the present invention is particularly effective in inhibiting ocular fibrotic wound response following GFS.

    Abstract translation: 本发明涉及通过将ALK-5抑制剂递送至患者眼睛的伤口区域(手术部位),延长滤泡存活时间和/或提供青光眼滤过手术后的长期生存的方法。 更具体地说,本发明涉及使用热敏聚合物制剂将ALK-5抑制剂控制递送到患者眼睛的方法,其中首先将ALK-5抑制剂以足以维持的温度包含在聚合物制剂中 该制剂作为液体,然后施加到眼睛伤口上,其中制剂变成凝胶。 含有其中含有ALK-5抑制剂的热敏凝胶的使用提供了在患者眼睛上的青光眼滤过手术(GFS)之后的更长期的泡状存活。 因此,本发明特别有效地抑制GFS后的眼纤维化伤口应答。
