摘要:
Methods and kits for distinguishing between heparanase expressing and heparanase non-expressing hematopoietic cells, particularly useful in distinguishing between different types of differentiated and/or undifferentiated lymphomas and leukemias. The methods and kits are designed to detect heparanase expression, or absence thereof, at the gene, protein and/or protein activity levels.
摘要:
Heparanase activity in a patient may be inhibited by administering an effective heparanase-inhibiting amount of heparin or an effective chemically modified derivative of heparin which inhibits heparanase activity. Such derivatives are preferably N-desulfated, N-acetylated heparin or O-desulfated, N-acetylated heparin. By means of this invention, allograft rejection may be prevented or delayed and autoimmune diseases such as arthritis may be alleviated and treated.
摘要:
The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions intended to decrease the incidence of tumor metastasis in patients who suffer from malignant diseases.The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention contain as active ingredient heparin or a suitable derivative thereof. Amongst suitable derivatives are N-desulfated and N-acetylated heparin.The dosage of the administered heparin or heparin derivative is quite critical and will generally be in the range of from 0.05 mg/kg/day to about 0.5 mg/kg/day. A preferred range is between about 0.1 mg/kg/day to about 0.5 mg/kg/day.

摘要:
A composition of matter useful as an inhibitor of blood platelet aggregation, for the treatment of various clinical disorders such as thrombotic, inflammatory and immunological disorders. This composition of matter is derived from the saliva of leeches of the Hirudinidae family. The composition contains various components, all having molecular weights lower than 2,000 daltons. The composition has an inhibitory activity against platelet aggregation induced by various aggregating agents, including Platelet Activating Factor-acether (PAF-acether), arachidonic acid, thrombin, ADP and epinephrine.
摘要:
The invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for the oral administration of insulin comprising insulin, a bile acid or alkali metal salt thereof, the bile acid being selected from the group consisting of cholic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, taurocholic acid, taurochenodeoxycholic acid, glycocholic acid, glycochenocholic acid, 3.beta.-hydroxy-12-ketocholic acid, 12.alpha.-3.beta.-dihydrocholic acid, and ursodesoxycholic acid, and a protease inhibitor, the composition being provided with an enterocoating to assure passage through the stomach and release in the intestine.
摘要:
The invention relates to a cell growth and/or differentiation regulatory peptide comprising a sequence of about 9 to about 150 amino acids derived from acetylcholinesterase amino acid sequence, preferably from the C-terminal region of acetylcholinesterase. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the peptides, particularly for use in promoting survival of stem cells, promoting differentiation of stem cells, promoting growth of stem cells and/or promoting the growth-enhancing effect of a growth factor on stem cells, alone, or in combination with other growth factors. Of particular interest is the use of the peptides in the treatment of thrombocytopenia, post-irradiation conditions, post-chemotherapy conditions, or conditions following massive blood loss and promotion of neural progenitors in use for cell therapies aimed at restoring neural functions in diseased individuals. Further, the invention relates to antibodies against the peptides, inter alia for diagnostic use, for example, the diagnosis of stress-induced male infertility. The invention also relates to in vitro and in vivo methods for screening of drugs that affect the central nervous system, and are potential modulators of interactions between the “readthrough” form of acetylcholinesterase, AChE-R, the intracellular receptor RACK1 and the kinase PKC.
