Disclosed are methods for treating Vascular Leak Syndrome and preventing cancer metastasis. Further disclosed are methods for treating vascular leakage due to inflammatory diseases, sepsis, cancer or the presence of pathogens.

Disclosed are multimeric compounds of K1 domains from the Hepatocyte Growth Factor/Scatter Factor (HGF/SF) being able to induce activation of the tyrosine kinase receptor MET and their uses.

Disclosed is a pharmaceutical composition containing dabigatran etexilate and a preparation method thereof. The pharmaceutical composition comprises a pharmaceutically active ingredient, dabigatran etexilate and/or dabigatran etexilate mesylate, and a amphiphilic polymer of polyvinyl caprolactam-polyvinyl acetate-polyethylene glycol graft copolymer. The mass ratio of the two is 1:0.23 to 1:3. The pharmaceutical composition not only increases the bioavailability of the pharmaceutically active ingredient, but also reduces absorption variability, and provides a more stable concentration of dabigatran in plasma, thereby reducing adverse side effects.

Polypeptides that are glutathione-S-transferases originating from different schistosome parasites, as well as nucleic acids, vectors, compositions or kits, for use in the preventive or therapeutic treatment of vasculitis or of a disease characterized by a M1/M2 macrophage ratio dysregulation, such as e.g. a decrease of the M1-type immune response and/or an increase of the M2-type immune response.
