Disclosed herein are circular RNAs and transfer vehicles, along with related compositions and methods of treatment. The circular RNAs can comprise group I intron fragments, spacers, an IRES, duplex forming regions, and/or an expression sequence, thereby having the features of improved expression, functional stability, low immunogenicity, ease of manufacturing, and/or extended half-life compared to linear RNA. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising such circular RNAs and transfer vehicles are particularly suitable for efficient protein expression in immune cells in vivo. Also disclosed are precursor RNAs and materials useful in producing the precursor or circular RNAs, which have improved circularization efficiency and/or are compatible with effective circular RNA purification methods.

The invention relates to chemically as well as physically stable kits and compositions comprising polypeptides, in particular Factor VII or Factor VII-related polypeptides, such that these compositions can be stored, handled and used at room temperature.

The present invention concerns methods and reagents useful in modulating gene expression in a variety of applications, including use in therapeutic, diagnostic, target validation, and genomic discovery applications. Specifically, the invention relates to synthetic chemically modified small nucleic acid molecules, such as short interfering nucleic acid (siNA), short interfering RNA (siRNA), double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), micro-RNA (miRNA), and short hairpin RNA (shRNA) molecules capable of mediating RNA interference (RNAi) against target nucleic acid sequences. The small nucleic acid molecules are useful in the treatment of any disease or condition that responds to modulation of gene expression or activity in a cell, tissue, or organism.

Disclosed is a thrombin-free, liquid biological glue for therapeutic use, including fibrinogen and factor VIIa. The ratio of fibrinogen concentration to FVIIa concentration is 20000:1 to 1000:1, with the concentrations being expressed in weight per volume. The fibrinogen concentration is lower than 60 mg/ml. Also disclosed are a kit for preparing such a biological glue, a method to prepare the glue, and a medicament.

Methods, systems and computer program products for shared content management systems that provide performance analytics pertaining to a project. Embodiments include establishing one or more network communication links between a content management system that manages a plurality of shared content objects and a plurality of applications that cause modifications to the shared content objects in accordance with workflows of the project. Iteraction events that correspond to modifications over the shared content objects are recorded such that interaction events associated with the plurality of applications are selected based at least in part on attributes associated with the interaction events. Relationships between the recorded interaction events such as time durations between certain of the interaction events are calculated. Project performance measurements are generated based on the calculations and/or based on other relationships between the interaction events. The calculations may span across many different applications and/or many different departments and/or many different enterprises.

Provided herein is a single component sealant formulation (e.g. in a liquid form), methods for its preparation, and use. The formulation includes fibrinogen; vitamin K-dependent clotting zymogens comprising at least Factor II (FII) and Factor X (FX).

In the invention, the minimum inhibitory concentrations of human coagulation factor light-chain proteins against different Gram-negative bacteria are detected with the in vitro antibacterial activity and the inhibiting effect of the human coagulation factor light-chain proteins against different Gram-negative bacteria is detected with the in vivo antibacterial activity. It has been shown that human coagulation factor light-chain proteins have an obvious inhibitory effect on the Gram-negative bacteria, so as to develop a novel class of medicaments for treating Gram-negative bacteria infection. It has been demonstrated by mass spectrometry and silver staining that human coagulation factor light-chain proteins have the effect on hydrolyzing and eliminating the endotoxin, which facilitates the development of a novel class of medicaments for treating endotoxemia. The human coagulation factor light-chain proteins are light chain proteins of human coagulation factors VII, IX, and X, as well as a protein having homology of more than 50% thereof.

The present invention provides conjugates between peptides and PEG moieties through glycerol linkers.

The present subject matter is directed to a method of manufacturing and purifying an intravenous injection of prothrombin complex concentration (PCC) from plasma Fraction III and a method of manufacturing and purifying an intravenous injection of non-PCC from plasma Fraction IV. The intravenous injection of PCC and non-PCC obtained from the method can be administered to a patient in need thereof for stopping replication, killing and preventing HIV-1 and HIV-2 in a patient.
