摘要:
The device for administering an at least two-component substance comprises a concentric lumen arrangement including (i) an inner cannula having a lumen with an inlet opening at a first end and a tip with an outlet opening at a second end opposite its first end, and (ii) an outer sheath having opposite first and second ends facing the respective first and second ends of the inner cannula, and surrounding the inner cannula along an axial length between the first and second ends of the inner cannula, wherein the outer sheath at its second end is sealingly and fixedly connected to the inner cannula and defining an outer lumen around the inner cannula, and wherein the inner cannula is provided with at least one opening for providing fluid communication between the outer lumen around the inner cannula and the lumen of the inner cannula.
摘要:
Provided are methods and devices for dissolving solid protein compositions, such as solid compositions comprising fibrinogen, in an aqueous solvent. The methods comprise use of a closed container containing a volume of solid fibrinogen composition and a head space wherein the pressure within the headspace is sub-atmospheric. Aqueous solvent is introduced into the container while maintain the sub-atmospheric pressure, and subsequent to addition of the solvent, the size of the headspace is decreased to bring the pressure to atmospheric pressure. The devices are suitable for use in the disclosed method.
摘要:
A method for ameliorating, reducing, and/or preventing lipotoxicity-induced metabolic dysfunction in at least one cell is disclosed, said method comprising a step of contacting said at least one cell with a therapeutically effective amount of a synergistic anti-lipotoxicity cocktail, said cocktail comprising N-acetylcysteine, ascorbic acid, and resveratrol. Also disclosed is a method for treating at least one lipotoxicity-related metabolic disorder chosen from the group comprising (a) metabolic syndrome; (b) non-alcoholic steatohepatitis; (c) obesity; and (d) coronary heart disease, said method comprising the step of administering to a patient a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-lipotoxicity cocktail, said cocktail comprising N-acetylcysteine, ascorbic acid, and resveratrol. Finally, a composition for treating the effects of lipotoxicity, containing a synergistic combination of N-acetylcysteine, ascorbic acid, and resveratrol is disclosed.
摘要:
A method for treating symptoms of a lipotoxicity-related phenomenon includes introducing into a patient a therapeutically effective synergistic amount of a phenomenon-inhibiting cocktail of a polyphenol (P), thiol antioxidant (To) and ascorbic acid (A) to reduce intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and/or increase intracellular nitrite (NO), so that reduction of such phenomenon is at least 30% greater than the reduction of such phenomenon provided by separate administration of each of P, To and A.
