An agent for enhancing skin barrier function was provided with.

An agent for enhancing skin barrier function comprising a wavelength conversion substance as an active ingredient; a composition and a product comprising the agent for enhancing skin barrier function; and a method for enhancing skin barrier function using thereof. The present invention can exhibit a desirable effect on skin by effectively making use of ultraviolet light to enhance skin barrier function.

The invention provides a CCR1 antagonist, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate or solvate thereof, for use in the treatment of pancreatic cancer, in particular a CCR1 antagonist, for example in combination with one or more further therapeutic agents effective as anti-tumour agents in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Such an anti-tumour agent may be a chemotherapeutic agent selected from Gemcitabine, Fluorouracil (5-FU), Capecitabine, FOLFIRINOX (Leucovorin Calcium, Fluorouracil, Irinotecan Hydrochloride and Oxaliplatin), Nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane®) and combinations thereof. An immuno-oncology agent (e.g. a PD-1 inhibitor and/or a PD-L1 inhibitor) may also favourably be used with the CCR1 antagonist.

The present invention describes methods of detecting biomarkers in tumor tissue, as well as methods of improving responsiveness to or providing survival prognosis for a subject having received or in need of, an immune checkpoint inhibitor in the treatment of cancers such as bladder cancer, lung cancer, leukemia. Discoidin domain receptor (DDR)-driven gene signatures have been identified and validated to stratify patient response to anti-PD-L1 immune checkpoint therapy.

The present invention provides a drug for treating and/or preventing enteritis and/or hepatitis, said drug containing D-amino acid as an active ingredient. In addition, the present invention provides a food composition for suppressing enteritis and/or hepatitis, said composition containing D-amino acid as an active ingredient. In addition, the present invention provides a method for assisting diagnosis of enteritis and/or hepatitis in a subject, said method using the amount of D-amino acid in the intestinal tract as an indicator.

The present invention provides a liquid nail lacquer composition comprising a pharmaceutically active compound and an aqueous polymer dispersion, wherein said liquid nail lacquer composition forms a film upon drying under standard ambient temperature and pressure; a method for providing the same; and a container comprising said liquid nail lacquer composition.
