The present invention provides a novel compound having an excellent β-lactamase inhibitory effect. The present invention provides: a compound which has an excellent β-lactamase inhibitory effect, and is represented by formula (1a), (1b) or (11); or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. This compound provides a prophylactic or therapeutic agent effective for bacterial infections when used in combination with β-lactam-based drugs or used as a single agent. The present invention also provides a prophylactic or therapeutic agent effective for treating various diseases, by being used in combination with β-lactam-based drugs.

Provided is a liquid preparation containing an anti-IL-17 antibody at a concentration of 20 mg/mL to 200 mg/mL, a citrate buffer at a concentration of 10 mM to 50 mM, a sucrose at a concentration of 20 mg/mL to 120 mg/mL or arginine at a concentration of 50 mM to 250 mM, and polysorbate 80 at a concentration of 0.1 mg/mL to 5 mg/mL. In addition, the liquid preparation has a pH of 6.0±0.5, wherein the anti-IL-17 antibody is an anti-IL-17A/F monoclonal antibody. The liquid preparation can be a stable subcutaneous injection preparation, and can be used to treat IL-17A and/or IL-17F related diseases, such as psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, osteoarthritis or inflammatory bowel disease.

A JAK kinase inhibitor pharmaceutical composition, containing (3aR,5s,6aS)-N-(3-methoxy-1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-yl)-5-(methyl(7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)amino)hexahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrrole-2(1H)-carboxamide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a co-processed excipient, such as cellulose-lactose. The present invention has good stability, dissolution and bioavailability, and the preparation process thereof is simple and convenient.

The invention relates to the use of compounds of general structure (I) in modulation of the Wnt pathway ##STR00001##
wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are each, independently, H or an alkyl group; D is selected from the group consisting of H, halogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, and dialkylamino, each (other than H and halogen) being optionally substituted; Ar is an aryl or heteroaryl group, optionally substituted; Cy is an aryl, heteroaryl or a saturated ring containing at least one heteroatom, each being optionally substituted; and n is an integer from 1 to 3.

Provided herein is a combination product comprising a Bcl-2 inhibitor, an anti-CD20 antibody and/or bendamustine or a combination product comprising a Bcl-2 inhibitor and CHOP, the combination product provides a use of the combination product for prevention and/or treatment of a disease (e.g., cancer, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), and microscopic polyangiitis).

The present invention relates to a device for measuring, recording, and acting in response to changes in air pressures encountered through the lumen of a connected needle. The device signals when it has been powered and signals when the device recognizes both pressures and pressure change rates indicative of synovial cavity joint penetration, such as knee joint penetration. Synovial cavity pressures detected and acted upon may either be supra- (positive) or sub-atmospheric (negative). Internal light emitting diodes and a laptop connected display are demonstrated as signaling and communication mechanisms. Methods for delivering medicaments into human and animal intra-articular cavities or joints such as synovial cavities are provided. Furthermore, methods for facilitating the diagnoses of joint effusion also are provided.

The present disclosure provides certain N-Acylethanolamide derivatives, and uses relating thereto.

The invention relates to a derivative of a GLP-1 analogue of a general Formula I, which derivative comprises a side chain attached to a Lys residue at position 34, 35, 36, 37, or 38 of the GLP-1 analogue, which side chain comprises a Branched linker, a 1.sup.st and a 2.sup.nd Protractor selected from C18 diacid, C20 diacid, and sulfonic acid C16, and at least one Linker element-1 incorporating ethylene glycol units. Linker element-1 may be incorporated in an optional Pre-linker, and/or in a 1.sup.st or 2.sup.nd Post-linker. The invention also relates to novel GLP-1 analogues, novel side chain intermediate products and their manufacture and use to prepare derivatives of biologically active peptides and proteins, as well as pharmaceutical compositions and medical uses of the analogues and derivatives. The derivatives have very long half-lives while maintaining a satisfactory potency, which makes them potentially suitable for once-monthly administration.
