Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an anti-adhesion kit comprised of: (i) a fibrinogen solution component comprising: fibrinogen at a concentration of about 5 to 25 mg/ml; and free calcium ions at a concentration ranging from 0.1 μM to 1 mM; and (ii) a thrombin component containing thrombin. Further disclosed is an anti-adhesion kit comprised of: (i) a fibrinogen solution component containing fibrinogen at a concentration of 8% to 25% of total protein by weight, and optionally free calcium ions at a concentration ranging from 0.1 μM to 1 mM; wherein a total protein concentration ranges from about 80 to 120 mg/ml; and (ii) a thrombin component containing thrombin. Methods of using the kits e.g., to provide anti-adhesion curable compositions are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Combinations of compounds that inhibit activation of p-Src tyrosine kinase, having particularly utility in the treatment of inflammation resulting from traumatic surgical interventions and the proliferation or metastasis of cancer cells following surgical excision of cancerous tissue.
Abstract:
The application provides method for enhancing connective tissue-to-bone healing in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject an anti-sclerostin antibody in an amount effective to enhance connective tissue-to-bone healing in the subject.
Abstract:
There is provided a medical/cosmetic material that retains the properties which are inherent in a polyanionic polysaccharide being a raw material, that has a high level of safety because there is no need to use a chemical crosslinking agent during production, and that makes it possible to place a powder of a water-insoluble polyanionic polysaccharide at an affected area uniformly. The medical/cosmetic material includes a base and a powder dispersed in the base, in which the base contains a water-soluble salt of a first polyanionic polysaccharide, and the powder is formed by water-insolubilizing a powder of a water-soluble salt of a second polyanionic polysaccharide with a treatment liquid containing an acid anhydride.
Abstract:
A method of enhancing fat cell survival in a subject in need thereof is disclosed. The method comprising (a) implanting a population of fat cells into the subject; and (b) administering Erythropoietin to the subject, thereby enhancing fat cell survival in the subject.
Abstract:
Provided is a drug for preventing, alleviating or treating adhesion and a use thereof. A fibroblast which has been subjected to external stimulation in a body cavity contains an activated negative regulatory receptor PEAR1. The deletion of the fibroblast PEAR1 can significantly promote in vivo mucosal adhesion formation. A PEARI agonist can specifically inhibit fibroblast activation, synthesize an extracellular matrix, and ameliorate the adhesion lesion. By administering the PEARI agonist, the formation of adhesion can be effectively prevented. Also provided is a PEARI agonistic antibody that does not affect the repair and healing of normal tissue and does not cause the tissue to be in an anoxic state. Moreover, the antibody drug has a long half-life, is easily diffused, has few side effects, and has a convenient route of administration.
Abstract:
The invention provides carbazole derivatives for the treatment of fibrotic diseases (pathological collagen deposition) in tissues and organs, and related symptoms, and conditions thereof.
