摘要:
The objectives are to find a substance or a composition capable of promoting the production of ghrelin with physiological activities such as growth hormone secretion effect, and to provide a pharmaceutical comprising it as the active ingredient. The pharmaceutical is a ghrelin production promoter comprising Rikkunshi-to as the active ingredient.
摘要:
Described herein are compositions comprising a nematicide intermixed with lecithin and a co-surfactant that form stable dispersions in water. Also disclosed are methods of controlling nematodes in soil by application of such compositions.
摘要:
The invention relates to a pharmaceutically active substance for producing a drug that is capable of generating thrombin or that contains thrombin and compositions comprising thereof. The pharmaceutically active substance contains (A) prothrombin (coagulation factor II) obtained from plasma or by genetic engineering, (B) coagulation factors V, VIII, IX, X obtained from plasma or by genetic engineering that at least partially may be present in their activated state, and coagulation factor XIa obtained from plasma or by genetic engineering, and (C) prion-safe, coagulation-promoting phospholipids, where the phospholipids are optionally contained in liposomes.
摘要:
This invention relates to glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) derivatives. In particular, this invention relates to GLP-2 peptide derivatives having an extended in vivo half-life, for the treatment or prevention of gastrointestinal disorders or diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease and other gastrointestinal functions, from any segment of the gastrointestinal tract, from the oesophagus to the anus.
摘要:
The present invention features methods for transplanting organs, tissues and individual cells. Also featured are methods for maintaining cells in vitro and for enhancing survival and/or function of cells following transplantation. The methods include the administration of carbon monoxide in an amount sufficient to enhance cell survival and/or function.
摘要:
Compounds that modulate the function of anti-apoptotic proteins such as Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL are identified. These compounds have the ability to convert the activity of Bcl-2-family member proteins from anti-apoptotic to pro-apoptotic. Methods for inducing apoptosis are described, together with methods for identifying molecules that induce apoptosis through interaction with Bcl-2-family members.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for treating structural heart disease in a subject, comprising administering an effective amount of an inhibitor of CaMKII to the subject, whereby the administration of the inhibitor treats the structural heart disease in the subject. Also provided are transgenic animal models for treating structural heart disease. Further provided is a means of screening for a compound that can treat structural heart disease.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to ligand/receptor and antigen/antibody specificity exchangers comprising a saccharide or glycoconjugate. Methods of making these specificity exchangers and methods of using said specificity exchangers to treat or prevent human disease are described herein.
摘要:
Compositions and methods of using compositions with a nuclear targeting peptide containing a nonclassical nuclear localization signal to deliver selected molecules to the nucleus of eukaryotic cells are provided. The compositions are particularly useful in gene transfer methods.
摘要:
The invention relates to endostatin protein, in particular, to N-terminal modified recombinant human endostatin (rhEndostatin) proteins which have an additional metal chelating peptide sequence at the N-terminal, the preparation thereof, and methods of modifying the rhEndostatin to improve its stability in vivo and in vitro, and its biological activity. The invention further related to the resulting N-terminal modified rhEndostatin protein, a pharmaceutical composition containing the same, and use of said modified rhEndostatin or its pharmaceutical composition in treating the angiogenesis-related diseases, especially angiogenesis-dependent tumors.
