The invention described herein relates to methods of isolating non-embryonic stem cell, e.g., adult stem cell, from a non-embryonic tissue, e.g., an adult tissue or organ. Non-embryonic stem cells (e.g., adult stem cells) thus isolated from the various tissues or organs can self-renew or propagate indefinitely in vitro, are multipotent and can differentiate into the various differentiated cell types normally found within the tissue or organ from which the stem cells are isolated. In addition, the isolated stem cells can be propagated through clonal expansion of a single isolated stem cell, to produce a clone of which at least about 40%, 70%, or 90% or more cells within the clone can be further passaged as single cell originated clones.

There are provided a pharmaceutical composition, a preparation method thereof, and an application of same. The pharmaceutical composition includes an active ingredient, a polymer, and a surfactant. The surfactant includes a bile salt. The pharmaceutical composition is prepared as a nanoparticle.

The present invention provides methods for reducing or eliminating a patient's need for lipoprotein apheresis therapy. The methods of the present invention comprise administering to a patient a pharmaceutical composition comprising a PCSK9 inhibitor. In certain embodiments, the PCSK9 inhibitor is an anti-PCSK9 antibody. The methods of the present invention are useful for treating patients with hyperlipidemia and related conditions who are currently being treated with a therapeutic regimen comprising lipoprotein apheresis (e.g., LDL apheresis or Lp(a) apheresis).
