The invention relates to medicine, namely, to the solutions used for hemostasis. The hemostatic agent, which represents a polyammonia methanediamine chloride of the general formula

##STR00001##

where: n=1-20, m=1-10, at that n×m≧8.

The hemostatic agent may be applied in the form of a 0.01-10% aqueous solution. An aqueous solution of the preparation can be used for impregnation of materials used for bleeding arrest, suture material, bandaging material. The hemostatic agent may be used in the composition of a retraction cord, adhesive pastes, vaginal and rectal suppositories, creams, gels, as well as used with microchips that provide slow release of the preparation. The preparation can also be used in eye drops, eye ointments, and lubricants applied to the surface of the catheter. The drug can be used in endodontic treatment, may be injected into a polymer sealer for root canal obturation, as well as locally—by means of electrophoresis. The hemostatic agent may be used in conjunction with a gel based on aluminum sulphate or silver solution, and also with a polysaccharide haemostatic system. An efficient haemostatic preparation ensuring a significant analgetic effect is developed.

The present invention relates to a new pyrrole sulfonyl derivative, and a preparation method and medical use thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to a pyrrole sulfonyl derivative as represented by general formula (I), a preparation method thereof, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the derivative, and a use thereof as a therapeutic agent, in particular as a gastric acid secretion inhibitor and as potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs), wherein each substituent group of general formula (I) is the same as that defined in the description.

This invention relates to isolated polypeptides that are glucagon-receptor selective analogs and peptide derivatives thereof. These analogs are selective for human glucagon receptor with improved solubility, thermal stability, and physicochemical properties as compared to native endogenous glucagon. This invention also relates to methods of using such polypeptides in a variety of therapeutic and diagnostic indications, as well as methods of producing such polypeptides. These analogs are useful, alone or in combination with other therapeutic peptides, in methods of treating obesity, diabetes, metabolic disorders, and other disorders or disease.

Disclosed are compounds of formula I: ##STR00001## as described herein, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds are inhibitors of plasma kallikrein. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising at least one such compound, and methods involving use of the compounds and compositions in the treatment and prevention of diseases and conditions characterized by unwanted plasma kallikrein activity.

A hemostatic composition is provided. The hemostatic composition includes a hemostatically effective amount of a hemostatic agent that includes a nanoparticle and a polyphosphate polymer attached to the nanoparticle. Also provided are medical devices and methods of use to promote blood clotting.

The present invention provides polypeptide modulators of complement activity, including cyclic polypeptide modulators. Also provided are methods of utilizing such modulators as therapeutics.

Factor IX/IXa variants and methods of use thereof are disclosed.

Factor IX/IXa variants and methods of use thereof are disclosed.

Disclosed herein are methods relating to manufacturing an embolizing agent precursor. Manufacture of the embolizing agent precursor may involve mixing a first component contained within a first container with a second component contained within a second container, the first component including a plurality of negatively charged gaseous components and a first stabilizer, the second component comprising a plurality of positively charged oil components, a second stabilizer, and a cationic surfactant. Further steps may include mixing the first component with the second component such that the first and second component are held together as a single agglomerated entity.

The present disclosure relates to an isolated anti-FcRN antibody, which is an antibody binding to FcRN (stands for neonatal Fc receptor, also called FcRP, FcRB or Brambell receptor) that is a receptor with a high affinity for IgG or a fragment thereof, a method of preparing thereof, a composition for treating autoimmune disease, which comprises the antibody, and a method of treating and diagnosing autoimmune diseases using the antibody. The FcRn-specific antibody according to the present disclosure binds to FcRn non-competitively with IgG to reduce serum pathogenic auto-antibody levels, and thus can be used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
