摘要:
In a rechargeable lithium battery including inter alia a lithium anode, a lithium ion reducible cathode bonded with a polymer, as well as a polymer electrolyte, potassium ions are introduced either in the cathode or in the electrolyte, or in both of them at the same time, so that potassium is distributed in the cathode and the electrolyte when the generator has reached equilibrium. This has the effect of stabilizing the performances of the battery during cycling in terms of energy and power.
摘要:
The present invention provides novel salts and solvates of macrocyclic compounds that bind to and/or are functional agonists of the ghrelin (growth hormone secretagogue) receptor. The invention also relates to polymorphs of these salts and solvates, pharmaceutical compositions containing these salts or solvates, and methods of using the pharmaceutical compositions. These pharmaceutical compositions are useful as therapeutics for a range of disease indications, in particular, for treatment and prevention of gastrointestinal disorders including, but not limited to, postoperative ileus, gastroparesis, including diabetic and postsurgical gastroparesis, opioid bowel dysfunction, chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, short bowel syndrome, functional gastrointestinal disorders and gastrointestinal dysmotility, such as that occurring in conjunction with other disease states, in critical care situations or as a result of treatment with pharmaceutical agents. Additionally, the pharmaceutical compositions have application to the treatment and prevention of metabolic and/or endocrine disorders, cardiovascular disorders, central nervous system disorders, bone disorders, inflammatory disorders, hyperproliferative disorders, disorders characterized by apoptosis and genetic disorders.
