摘要:
Methods and compositions for modulating blood-neural barrier (BNB) for the treatment of CNS conditions such as edema, and for increased drug delivery efficacy across the BNB. The present invention further relates to improved tPA treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular and related diseases in combination with antagonism of the PDGF signaling pathway. The inventive method and composition is particularly suitable for conjunctive therapy of ischemic stroke using tPA and an anti-PDGF-C antagonist or an anti-PDGFR-α antagonist.

摘要:
Methods for inhibiting angiogenesis comprising administering tissue-plasminogen activator (tPA) inhibitors, and pharmaceutical compositions suitable for the methods comprising the tPA inhibitors. Also provided are methods for stimulating angiogenesis comprising administering tPA to a patient in need thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising an effective amount of tPA for the methods of stimulation. The present invention discloses that tPA is a specific PDGF-C activating protease, and that the CUB-domains in PDGF-CC directly interact with the protease, are required for efficient proteolysis, and released CUB-domains are tPA inhibitors. Preferably, the method and compositions of the present invention are used for simultaneously stimulating, or simultaneously inhibiting, thrombolysis and angiogenesis.

摘要:
A pre-heater for an apparatus for the production of carbon black, is adapted to pre-heat air by heat exchange to a temperature of at least 800° C., comprises an elongated jacket arranged substantially and having a top end and a bottom end, said jacket defining a space, a plurality of tubings arranged inside said space, said tubings having a diameter of 85 to 90 mm, said jacket being provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, for allowing said air to enter and exit said space, a smoke inlet chamber and a smoke collection chamber for allowing smoke to enter and exit said tubing. Said jacket is supported by a suspension means between said top and bottom ends excluding at the top end as such, such that the jacket is allowed to expand upwards above and downwards below said suspension means.
摘要:
PDGF-D, a new member of the PDGF/VEGF family of growth factors, as well as the nucleotide sequence encoding it, methods for producing it, antibodies and other antagonists to it, transfected and transformed host cells expressing it, pharmaceutical compositions containing it, and uses thereof in medical and diagnostic applications, including methods for stimulating growth of a connective tissue or healing a wound in a mammal, which methods comprise administering to the mammal an effective amount of PDGF-D polypeptides or polynucleotides encoding the PDGF-D polypeptides.
