    摘要: Among the various aspects of the present disclosure is the provision of methods of treating or preventing COVID-19 or effects thereof in a subject comprising: administering a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical agent comprising one or more of a sigma-1 receptor (S1R) agonist or antagonist, a cationic amphiphilic drug, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), or functional inhibitor of acid sphingomyelinase (FIASMA), such as fluvoxamine.

    摘要: The present invention provides an improved tissue adhesive to repair defects in soft tissue. Following ASTM standard tests, crosslinked methacryloyl-substituted gelatin hydrogels of the present invention (GelSEAL) were shown to exhibit adhesive properties, i.e. wound closure strength, shear resistance and burst pressure, that were superior to clinically used fibrin- and poly(ethylene glycol)-based glues. Chronic in vivo experiments in rats proved GelSEAL to effectively seal large lung leakages without additional sutures or staples, presenting improved performance as compared to fibrin and poly(ethylene glycol) glues. Furthermore, subcutaneous implantation in rats revealed high biocompatibility of GelSEAL as evidenced by low inflammatory host response. Advantageously, the tissue adhesives of the present invention are low cost and easy to produce, making them a promising substance to be used as a sealant for fluid leakages in soft tissue, as well as an easily tunable platform to further optimize the adhesive characteristics.
