Abstract:
The present invention provides novel methods and diagnostic kits for the objective measurement of the severity of pain or stress being experienced by a patient with a disorder, diagnosis and treatment for patients suffering from painful disorders, and monitoring the effectiveness of different pain-treatment protocols. Pain-measuring methods comprise collecting a sample from a patient and determining the presence of a pain-associated marker in the sample. Methods for alleviating pain comprise administrating a dose of a therapeutically effective amount of a composition to the patient wherein the dose is determined by the presence of a pain-associated marker in a biological sample obtained from the patient. Compositions for alleviating pain comprise substances that are pain-associated markers or agents that interfere with pain-associated markers, and block or modulate the progression of pain perceived by the patient.

In an embodiment the AS-ODN can be selected from 5'ACGCTTTCTTGAGGC 3' (SEQ ID NO.1), 5'GGCACCCTGGGCAGC 3' (SEQ ID NO.2); 5'CCACGTCCTCCTGCACCGTC 3' (SEQ ID NO.6); 5'ATGAACTCGATCTCGTAGCC 3' (SEQ ID NO.7); 5'GCCAGAGGAGGAGGAGAAGG 3' (SEQ ID NO.4); 5'TAGCGTCTACCACCCCTGAC 3' (SEQ ID NO.5), 5'TCTGTGTTATAGCCCAGCCC 3' (SEQ ID NO.17); and 5'GGCCTGTAACAGTTTATTT 3' (SEQ ID NO.18). A nuclease resistant antisense targeted against the splice junction in the AChEmRNA post splice message is disclosed. In an embodiment, a nuclease resistant AS-ODN targeted against the E4-E6 junction in the E1-E4-E6 splice variant AChEmRNA is disclosed as being highly specific for the muscle and central nervous system splice variant of AChE. The synthetic nuclease resistant AS-ODNs are capable of selectively modulating human AChE production in the central nervous system or capable of selectively reducing human AChE deposition in the neuromuscular junction. The present invention also provides a method to restore balanced cholinergic signaling in the brain and spinal cord or reduce AChE in the neuromuscular junction in patients in need of such treatment comprising administering to a patient in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of at least one of the synthetic nuclease resistant AS-ODN capable of selectively modulating human AChE production.

Abstract:
An organophosphate scavenger is provided, with extended residence time in the mammalian circulation, which can be used in preventive and therapeutic treatment of organophosphate poisoning. The scavenger is a uniformly pegylated serine hydrolase, in which a part of lysine residues were replaced with other residues by site-directed mutagenesis. One part of lysine residues in the hydrolase amino acid sequence is selected for the PEG-coupling, and the other part for the replacement, wherein the selection should ensure that the hydrolase surface shows at least one free amino acid for PEG coupling for all possible views obtained by rotating a 3-D model generated for the hydrolase.
Abstract:
The present invention describes the use of an AChE-R-derived peptide, also known as ARP, as an inducer of hemopoietic cell differentiation and expansion, specifically for the granulocytic population. In addition, the use of ARP as an inducer of thrombopoietin and pro-inflammatory cytokines is also presented. ARP may further be used in the pre-transplant priming of hematopoietic stem cells. Other uses and methods utilizing ARP are also described herein.

Abstract:
A pharmaceutical composition for facilitating passage of compounds through the blood-brain barrier comprising the agent ACHE-I4 readthrough (SEQ ID No:1) splice variant or the I4 peptide (SEQ ID No:2) and analogues of each thereof and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is disclosed. Alternatively, the pharmaceutical composition for facilitating passage of compounds through the blood-brain barrier can comprise the agents adrenaline, atropine, dopamine and/or an adrenergic combination and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The composition can comprise at least two of the agents. The composition of the present invention can optionally include the compound to be transported across the blood-brain barrier. Alternatively, the compound can be co-administered (simultaneously) with the composition or can be administered at some point during the biologically effective period of the action of the composition. The present invention provides a method for administering a compound to the CNS of an animal by subjecting the animal to a stress-mimicking agent or treatment. This agent or treatment facilitates disruption of the blood-brain barrier. During the period that the BBB is opened or disrupted a compound can be administered such that the compound is enabled to pass through the disrupted BBB into the CNS.
