摘要:
A unit dosage form suitable for once daily administration to a human comprising a physiologically effective amount of at least one hormone selected from the group consisting of steroidal estrogen, estradiol, estrone, medroxyprogesterone, norethindrone, norethisterone, progestin, norgestrel, and progesterone, and at least one carotenoid wherein the carotenoid is in an amount effective to prevent the adverse effects which may result from the administration of the hormone.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for the chemoprevention and treatment of cancer, by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a carotenoid derivative, such as a derivative of lycopene, a- and b-carotene, phytoene, phytofluene, lutein, zeaxanthin, α- and β-cryptoxanthin, canthaxanthin, astaxanthin, or other carotenoid. The carotenoid derivative is a carotenoid oxidation product, and is preferably an aldehyde derivative, a dialdehyde derivative or a ketone derivative. The carotenoid derivative can be a derivative of any naturally occurring carotenoid, such as those found in tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables.
摘要:
A method of reducing the activity of a cell comprises administering to the cell of a subject in need thereof, directly or systemically, a cell activity-reducing effective amount of lycopene. Pharmaceutical composition are derscribed, for inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, comprising as an active ingredient a cancer cell growth-inhibiting effective amount of lycopene.
摘要:
A method for preventing the adverse effects which may he associated with the administration of at least one hormone to a subject without detectable cancer comprising administering to such subject at least one carotenoid. The method of the instant invention can be utilized to prevent a variety of adverse effects associated with the administration of hormones, including for example, an increased risk for developing cancer. The instantly claimed method prevents such adverse effects without inhibiting the beneficial activity of the hormone. Further provided by the present invention are compositions which are useful for preventing the adverse effects associated with the administration of hormones. The compositions of the instant invention may be in unit dosage form suitable for daily administration to a human.
摘要:
The present invention provides a therapeutic composition comprising one or more polyphenols and one or more carotenoids selected from the group consisting of lutein, lycopene and beta-carotene. The invention also provides methods for inhibiting or reducing the production of superoxide ions, NO, TNF-alpha and/or PGE2 in a mammalian subject comprising administering to said subject the aforementioned therapeutic composition.
摘要:
This invention provides a method for treating a human subject afflicted with multiple sclerosis or a single clinical attack consistent with multiple sclerosis with a pharmaceutical composition comprising glatiramer acetate and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, comprising the steps of 1) identifying whether the human subject is a predicted responder to glatiramer acetate by determining the genotype of the subject at one or more single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) selected from the group consisting of the SNPs in Group 1; and 2) administering the pharmaceutical composition comprising glatiramer acetate and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to the subject only if the subject is identified as a predicted responder to glatiramer acetate.

Embodiments of a food container including a media player are provided. In some embodiments, the food container has an exterior, and the food container comprises at least one compartment sized and dimensioned to accommodate food. Additionally, the food container includes a media player configured to play media content. The container and/or media player includes at least one device that serves as an input device to select media content in the media player of for later play and activation device to activate the play of the selected media content. In another embodiment the container and/or media player includes two devices, one to select media content and another to activate play of the selected media content. The media content can be, for example, a message from a parent or other meal maker to a child for later play by the child during the day.
摘要:
High throughput channel operation in a mesh wireless local area network (WLAN) is disclosed. A mesh network comprises a plurality of mesh points and a network management entity (NME). The NME is configured to retrieve capability and configuration data from the mesh points. The NME configures at least one mesh point with respect to IEEE 802.11n channelization and legacy protection mode based on the capability and configuration data.
摘要:
An aggregated medium access control (MAC) frame for use with multiple transmission rates in a wireless communication system includes an aggregated header; at least one MAC protocol data unit (MPDU), the MPDUs being grouped together in the frame by transmission rate of the MPDU; and a separating sequence between each rate group. The aggregated header includes a count field to indicate a number of rates that have been aggregated in the frame and an information group for each rate that has been aggregated in the frame.
摘要:
A wireless local area network (WLAN) includes at least one high throughput-enabled access point (AP) and at least one high throughput-enabled station (STA). A STA and a target AP communicate high throughput-related information and the STA performs a basic service set (BSS) transition to the target AP based on the high throughput-related information. The high throughput-related information may be included in an IEEE 802.11r, 802.11k, or 802.11v signaling message. The STA may send measurement reports for an extended range and a normal range of an AP separately, or may send a combined measurement report for an extended range and a normal range of an AP. A network management entity may obtain current status information of the STA and the AP regarding high throughput capabilities, features and parameters and selectively enable and disable at least one of the high throughput capabilities, features and parameters of the STA and the AP.
