The invention relates to the combined use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and hematopoietic growth factors as a drug and particularly for treating cytopenia related to hematopoietic diseases or chemotherapy, and also to a pharmaceutical kit comprising both SSRIs and hematopoietic growth factors. This combination is more particularly used for treating patients presenting cytopenia, and patients in need of chemotherapy and more particularly to reduce length of chemotherapy-induced aplasia.

A synthetic, flexible tissue matrix and methods for repairing hyaline cartilage defects in a joint using the flexible tissue matrix are described. The flexible tissue matrix includes a high molecular weight polycaprolactone polymer entangled with a polysaccharide such as hyaluronic acid. In the methods, autologous bone mesenchymal stem cells are introduced to a joint by a microfracturing technique, and a membrane made of the flexible matrix is applied to the joint. Cartilage which forms in the joint is hyaline cartilage rather than fibrocartilage.

A cell-free fat extract may be used for treating osteoporosis. Specifically, the cell-free fat extract can be used to prepare a composition or preparation for preventing and/or treating osteoporosis, in particular osteoporosis due to estrogenic decline. The cell-free fat extract inhibits osteoblast differentiation and osteoclast differentiation, inhibits fusion of the bone marrow macrophage skeleton, improves the structure of hind limb bone, alleviates bone loss and attenuate bone resorption, and improves the mechanical properties of the femur.

Disclosed are engineered brain tropic adeno-associated viral vectors and methods of their use.

The present disclosure relates to: a biocompatible structure comprising a hollow cage, the biocompatible structure comprising, in a surface thereof, one or more open chambers that are recessed inward and hold a biologically active substance; and a method of manufacturing the same. A biocompatible structure according to one aspect comprises a mixed solution of a hydrogel and a biologically active substance in a chamber so that an osteogenesis-promoting substance is released continuously over a long period of time while having initial release stability, and thus osteogenesis at bone defect sites may be improved.

The present invention involves effects of a cell-free fat liquid extract on macrophage polarization modulation and disease treatment. Specifically, provided by the present invention is a method of (i) promoting macrophage transformation from the M1 to the M2 subtype; (ii) preventing and/or treating diabetes and a complication thereof; (iii) preventing and/or treating inflammation; and/or (iv) improving insulin resistance. The cell-free fat extract of the present invention has uniquely advantageous effects in terms of promoting macrophage transformation from the M1 to the M2 subtype, prevention and/or treatment of diabetes, a complication thereof, and inflammation, and improving insulin resistance

The present invention provides a sufficiently effective medicine for treatment and/or prevention of ischemic diseases, without performing isolation of therapeutic cells or removal of deleterious cells from blood cells/hemocytes. The blood cells and/or the hemocytes are subjected to the action of a saccharide. The saccharide is a monosaccharide, a disaccharide, a trisaccharide, a polysaccharides, or a copolymer containing a monosaccharide, a disaccharide, or a trisaccharide as a component. The saccharide is a copolymer of sucrose and epichlorohydrin.
