A topical composition for skin repair comprising selenosugars of formula (1): (Formula (I)) wherein, n is 1, 2 or 3; m is 2, 3, 4; or 5; and each R1 is independently-(optionally substituted C.sub.1-C.sub.3 alkyiene)p-OH, where p is 0 or 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

##STR00001##

Provided herein are methods of treating certain cancers comprising administering to the subject in need there of an effective amount of a compound of Formula (I)

##STR00001##

including stereoisomers and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.a, and R.sup.b are as defined herein.

The present invention relates to a synthetic oligosaccharide of general formula (I): T*-[(—U.sub.x+4—U.sub.x+3—U.sub.x+2—U.sub.x+1—U.sub.x).sub.m—(V.sub.x+2—V.sub.x+1—V.sub.x).sub.1-m-T-O-L-E that is related to Klebsiella pneumoniae serotype O3, O3b and/or O5 lipopolysaccharide and conjugate thereof. Said synthetic oligosaccharide, said conjugate and pharmaceutical composition containing said synthetic oligosaccharide or said conjugate are useful for prevention and/or treatment of diseases associated with Klebsiella pneumoniae. Furthermore, the synthetic oligosaccharide of general formula (I) is useful as marker in immunological assays for detection of antibodies against Klebsiella pneumoniae serotype O3, O3b and/or O5 bacteria.

The present invention provides a method of enhancing the function of CAR T cells comprising administering to the CAR T cells a PP2A inhibitor and optionally one or more anti-cancer therapies.

One embodiment of the present invention is to improve the safety and efficacy of the administration of GHB or a salt thereof to a patient. It has been discovered that the concomitant administration of an MCT inhibitor, such as diclofenac, valproate, or ibuprofen, will affect GHB administration. For example, it has been discovered that diclofenac lowers the effect of GHB in the body, thereby potentially causing an unsafe condition. Furthermore, it has been discovered that valproate increases the effect of GHB on the body, thereby potentially causing an unsafe condition.

Described herein are assays, methods, and devices for diagnosing/prognosing Alzheimer's disease (AD) and/or a neurodegenerative disease in a subject. The assays, methods, and/or devices described herein can be configured to detect GAS5 long-coding RNAs and/or expression thereof in a sample from a subject.

The present invention is directed to a combination therapy involving a type II anti-CD20 antibody and a selective Bcl-2 inhibitor for the treatment of a patient suffering from cancer, particularly, a CD20-expressing cancer.
