Abstract:
An improved method for orally administering buspirone to a human subject wherein the bioavailability of buspirone is increased and its elimination, metabolite formation, and variability of these pharmacokinetic parameters is decreased, the improvement comprises the concurrent administration of a sufficient amount of nefazodone to effect these pharmacokinetic changes for orally administered buspirone.
Abstract:
Novel methods and devices which provide enhanced mixing, and application of two liquid components to form a biomaterial with minimized aerosols, are achieved using airflow rates below about 1.25 liters/minute in combination with a ratio of airflow to total liquid flow of from about 150:1 up to about 1500:1. Preferably the airflow is below about 1 liter/minute, and the ratio of airflow to total liquid flow is from about 200:1 to about 1200:1. The parameters are ideally suited for the spray application of components which form a surgical sealant, e.g., a fibrin sealant. Also a part of the present invention is novel application methods for biomaterial, e.g., surgical sealant, components at liquid flows below 1.9 ml/minute, novel methods involving the mixing of such components on the exit surface of a spray tip (14), or nozzle, novel spray tips (14), biomaterial applicators, and methods for making such applicators.
Abstract:
An improved wound dressing (10) is provided which comprises a backing layer (20) bearing a reference marking (25), a hydrocolloid layer (30), and a release layer (40). The hydrocolloid (30) swells in use. This swelling can be seen or felt through the backing layer (20). When the swelling extends to or beyond the reference marking (25), the dressing (10) should be changed to prevent leaking. Thus, the dressing (10) can be left in place for as long as possible, but not so long as to damage the underlying skin.
Abstract:
Novel polypeptide inhibitors of cytoplasmic protein nuclear translocation are disclosed. The inhibitors are comprised of a signal sequence and at least two nuclear localization sequences. The polypeptides are useful as immunosuppression, antiviral and antitumor agents.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns novel amino sugar and related sugar derivatives of indolopyrrolocarbazoles, their use as antitumor agents, and pharmaceutical formulations.
Abstract:
The cephalosporin intermediate, desacetyl 7-glutaryl ACA, is obtained in the form of a concentrated aqueous solution from an aqueous solution containing said intermediate in less concentrated form by solvent extraction using cyclohexanone followed by back-extraction into water. The concentrated aqueous solution of intermediate is in a form which can be used for economical production of 7-ACA using known procedures.

Abstract:
A method is provided for treating hematologic tumors and solid tumors, including certain types of leukemias and metastatic tumors, having high LDL requirements employing a delipidating agent such as an MTP inhibitor to substantially reduce LDL blood levels. In addition, a method is provided for treating tumors of the above types having high LDL requirements, especially hematologic tumors such as certain leukemias, employing a delipidating compound to substantially remove native LDL, and then administering a cytotoxic agent carried in reconstituted LDL.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a nuclear receptor (NR) transcriptional mediator. More specifically, isolated nucleic acid molecules are provided encoding transcriptional intermediary factor-2 (TIF2). Recombinant methods for making TIF2 polypeptides are also provided as are TIF2 antibodies. Screening methods are also provided for identifying agonists and antagonists of the activation function AF-2 of nuclear receptors, for identifying agonists and antagonists of the AD1 activation domain activity of TIF2, and for identifying agonists and antagonists of the AD2 activation domain activity of TIF2.
