In part, the present disclosure relates methods for treating, preventing, or reducing the severity of a myeloproliferative disorder (e.g., polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and myelofibrosis) or one or more complications of a myeloproliferative disorder. The present disclosure further relates methods for treating, preventing, or reducing the severity of a Janus kinase-associated disorder or one or more complications of a Janus kinase-associated disorder. In certain aspects the disclosure provides TβRII antagonists for treating, preventing, or reducing the severity of a myeloproliferative disorder (e.g., polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and myelofibrosis) or a Janus kinase-associated disorder or one or more complications of a myeloproliferative disorder or a Janus kinase-associated disorder.

The present invention relates to a hemostatic composition and a method for preparing thereof, and more specifically, relates to a hemostatic composition comprising a cross-linked hyaluronic acid derivative matrix which is suitable to be used for hemostasis and a method of preparation of such a composition.

The present invention is directed to polymerized products and compositions useful for the treatment and prevention of amyloid disease in a subject. The invention further relates to isolated antibodies that recognize a common conformational epitope of amyloidogenic proteins or peptides that are useful for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of amyloid disease.

The invention relates to dextran sulfate, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in treatment of sepsis and hypercytokinemia.

The present invention provides for bioavailable oral dosage forms containing esters of 17-hydroxyprogesterone as well as related methods. The oral dosage forms can be formulated for pregnancy support and can include a therapeutically effective amount of an ester of 17-hydroxyprogesterone and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In another embodiment, a pharmaceutically acceptable oral dosage form for pregnancy support is provided. The pharmaceutically acceptable oral dosage can include a therapeutically effective amount of an ester of 17-hydroxyprogesterone and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The oral dosage form can, when measured using a USP Type-II dissolution apparatus in 900 mL of deionized water with 0.5 (w/v) of sodium lauryl sulfate at 50 RPM at 37° C., release at least 20 wt % of the dose of the ester of 17-hydroxyprogesterone after 60 minutes, or in the alternative release at least 20 wt % more after 60 minutes than an equivalently dosed oral dosage form without the carrier.

A compound represented by general formula (I) wherein all the symbols are as defined in the specification has a selective S1P5 receptor agonist activity due to having a linker from a phenyl group to a cyclic substituent in a dihydronaphthalene skeleton; i.e., due to having a short linker of one atom or less as L in general formula (I), and can therefore serve as an agent for treating S1P5-mediated disease, e. g., neurodegenerative disease such as schizophrenia. ##STR00001##

A highly glycosylated human blood-clotting factor VIII (FVIII) fusion protein, and a manufacturing method and application of same. The fusion protein comprises, from the N-terminus to the C-terminus, a human (FVIII), a flexible peptide connector, at least one rigid unit of a human chorionic gonadotropin β-subunit carboxyl terminal peptide, and a half-life extending portion (preferentially selected from a human IgG Fc variant). The fusion protein has a similar level of biological activity as a recombinant (FVIII) and an extended in vivo half-life, thereby improving pharmacokinetics and drug efficacy.

A hyperglycosylated recombinant human coagulation factor IX (FIX) fusion protein, a preparation method therefor, and use thereof. The fusion protein sequentially comprises, from N- to C-terminus, a human FIX, a flexible peptide linker, at least one human chorionic gonadotropin β subunit carboxy-terminal peptide rigid unit, and a half-life extending moiety. The fusion protein has a biological activity similar to that of the recombinant FIX, an extended in vivo activity half-life, and reduced immunogenicity, so as to improve pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
