The present invention relates to a new pyrrole sulfonyl derivative, and a preparation method and medical use thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to a pyrrole sulfonyl derivative as represented by general formula (I), a preparation method thereof, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the derivative, and a use thereof as a therapeutic agent, in particular as a gastric acid secretion inhibitor and as potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs), wherein each substituent group of general formula (I) is the same as that defined in the description.

The present disclosure relates to methods of detecting free (active) LIGHT in biological samples to diagnose conditions associated with elevated free LIGHT, as well as to predict the effectiveness of anti-LIGHT therapies. The disclosure also relates to treating such conditions with anti-LIGHT antibodies. Conditions include acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), optionally wherein the ALI and ARDS are associated with viral infection, including coronavirus infection. Conditions also include Crohn's Disease or an inflammatory condition associated with Crohn's Disease.

The present invention is directed to a method of treating a fungal infection comprising administering topically, to a subject in need thereof, an anti-fungal effective amount of roflumilast. Preferably, topically administered roflumilast is used to treat fungal infections, fungal growth of and/or hypersensitivity to the fungi Malassezia spp. Patients may also be suffering from seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff, dupilumab facial redness, Tinea versicolor, Pityriasis versicolor, Tinea circinata, Tinea pedis, Tinea unguium, Tinea manus, Tinea cruris, Tinea corporis, Tinea faciei, Tinea capitis, and/or Tinea incognito. Topically administered roflumilast is a quick and effective antifungal agent and presents a viable alternative to current antifungal treatments.

Disclosed herein is a method for improving the health of animal or human microflora using aloe vera. A method of purifying decolorized dried aloe vera leaf juice is also disclosed. The method may include removing an aloe vera leaf from an aloe vera plant, washing and/or sanitizing the leaf, and grinding the leaf into a slurry and subsequently purifying with activated carbon. The method may remove pigmented substances including the undesirable phenolic compounds present in aloe vera latex, and in particular the anthrones aloin A and aloin B, aloesin (a chromone) and aloe-emodin (an anthraquinone). Following purification, the liquid juice may then be spray-dried to form a final dry juice powder.

An object of the present invention is to provide novel mesenchymal stem cells demonstrating superior therapeutic effects against various diseases, a novel pharmaceutical composition containing these mesenchymal stem cells, and a method for preparing the same. The present invention relates to ROR1-positive mesenchymal stem cells. The ROR1-positive mesenchymal stem cells are preferably positive for CD29, CD73, CD90, CD105 and CD166 and are derived from umbilical cord or adipose tissue.

The present invention provides compounds and methods for the treatment of LFA-1 mediated diseases. In particular, LFA-1 antagonists are described herein and these antagonists are used in the treatment of LFA-1 mediated diseases. One aspect of the invention provides for diagnosis of an LFA-1 mediated disease and administration of a LFA-1 antagonist, after the patient is diagnosed with a LFA-1 mediated disease. In some embodiments, the LFA-1 mediated diseases treated are dry eye disorders. Also provided herein are methods for identifying compounds which are LFA-1 antagonists.
