摘要:
A drug-delivery system is provided including at least 100 μg of everolimus and clobetasol, such that the ratio of everolimus to clobetasol is at least 10:1 (w/w) or the amount of everolimus by weight is at least 10 times more than clobetasol. The system can be a stent. Also provided a method of treating restenosis or vulnerable plaque of a blood vessel, the method includes locally administering to a patient a first drug selected from a group consisting of rapamycin (sirolimus), Biolimus A9, deforolimus, AP23572, tacrolimus, temsirolimus, pimecrolimus, zotarolimus (ABT-578), 40-O-(2-hydroxy)ethylrapamycin (everolimus), 40-O-(3-hydroxy)propylrapamycin, 40-O-[2-(2-hydroxy)ethoxy]ethylrapamycin, 40-O-tetrazolylrapamycin and 40-epi-(N1-tetrazolyl)rapamycin, and locally administering to a patient a second drug consisting of clobetasol, wherein the minimum amount of the first drug that is locally administered is 100 μg, and wherein the ratio of the first drug to the second drug is, for example, 10:1 to 100:1 (w/w).

摘要:
The present invention is directed to implantable devices (e.g., drug-delivery stents) containing nuclear receptor ligands. The nuclear receptor ligands may be, inter alia, PPAR ligands or retinoids. The invention also provides for a method of treating or preventing vascular disorders (e.g., restenosis) and related disorders using the nuclear receptor ligand-containing devices.
摘要:
The present invention discloses a method of treating cancer in a subject. This involves co-administering a replicating virus and a matrix metalloproteinase to the subject under conditions effective to treat cancer. It also relates to a method of enhancing the delivery to and distribution within a tumor mass of therapeutic viruses. This involves co-administering a replicating virus and a matrix metalloproteinase to the tumor mass under conditions effective to enhance the delivery to and distribution within the tumor mass of therapeutic viruses. Another aspect relates to a cancer therapeutic. This involves a replicating virus and a matrix metalloproteinase.
摘要:
The inventors have determined, contrary to the prior art and experience, how to successfully use triciribine to treat tumors and cancer by one or a combination of (i) administering triciribine only to patients which according to a diagnostic test described below, exhibit enhanced sensitivity to the drug; (ii) use of a described dosage level that minimizes the toxicity of the drug but yet still exhibits efficacy; or (iii) use of a described dosage regimen that minimizes the toxicity of the drug.
摘要:
An apparatus for delivering devices. The apparatus comprises a catheter with an elongated shaft having a first lumen and a second lumen extending therethrough. The apparatus further comprises a distal section with a lumen in communication with a port in a distal end of the catheter and with the first lumen and the second lumen. The first lumen is configured for a first device and the second lumen is configured for a second device to be disposed therein. The apparatus further comprises a proximal adapter coupled to the elongated shaft with a first port in communication with the first lumen and a second port in communication with the second lumen.
摘要:
Compositions and methods for treating cancer and proliferative angiopathies are provided. A composition can include an inhibitor of the Jak2/Stat3 signaling pathway and an inhibitor of the PI3k/Akt signaling pathway. In certain cases, the two inhibitors are capable of acting synergistically as compared to either inhibitor alone.
摘要:
The present invention discloses a switching amplifier and its modulations process, which belongs to the field of non-filters-type switching amplifier. The switching amplifier comprises: pulse-width modulation with dual comparator, multiple-loop feedback structure, only one integrating amplifier with dual-ends output needed for each loop, no less than two feedback loops set between the integrating amplifier and H-bridge, in addition, no any low-pass filters needed adding to the feedback path. Multiple feedback loops are adopted in the present invention, which can low the distortion of the switching amplifier to the extent. Furthermore, no any extra low-pass filters are needed adding to the feedback path, which making the products a higher cost effectiveness.
