Compositions for Treating Pathological Calcification Conditions, and Methods Using Same
The present invention includes compositions and methods for treating diseases or disorders associated with pathological calcification or pathological ossification. In certain embodiments, the diseases or disorders are selected from the group consisting of Generalized Arterial Calcification of Infancy (GACI), Idiopathic Infantile Arterial Calcification (IIAC), Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament (OPLL), hypophosphatemic rickets, osteoarthritis, calcification of atherosclerotic plaques, PXE, hereditary and non-hereditary forms of osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, hardening of the arteries occurring with aging, calciphylaxis resulting from end stage renal disease and progeria.
Fusion peptide comprising thrombus-targeting peptide, ferritin fragment and thrombolytic peptide, and use thereof
The present invention relates to: a fusion peptide comprising a thrombus-targeting peptide, ferritin fragment and a thrombolytic peptide; and a use thereof and, more specifically, to: a fusion peptide in which a thrombus-targeting peptide, ferritin fragment and a thrombolytic peptide are sequentially linked; a composition for preventing or treating thrombotic disorders, containing the same as an active ingredient; a method for treating thrombotic disorders; and a therapeutic use. According to the present invention, CLT-sFt-μPn DCNC as a novel plasmin-based thrombolytic nanocage has: an effect of targeting a site at which thrombus is present; a low sensitivity to inhibitors present in the circulatory system; pharmacological activity strongly destroying both arterial and venous thrombi; and no side effects of bleeding, and thus can be very useful in developing an agent for preventing or treating thrombotic disorders.

Human coagulation factor light chain protein and use of the same
In the invention, the minimum inhibitory concentrations of human coagulation factor light-chain proteins against different Gram-negative bacteria are detected with the in vitro antibacterial activity and the inhibiting effect of the human coagulation factor light-chain proteins against different Gram-negative bacteria is detected with the in vivo antibacterial activity. It has been shown that human coagulation factor light-chain proteins have an obvious inhibitory effect on the Gram-negative bacteria, so as to develop a novel class of medicaments for treating Gram-negative bacteria infection. It has been demonstrated by mass spectrometry and silver staining that human coagulation factor light-chain proteins have the effect on hydrolyzing and eliminating the endotoxin, which facilitates the development of a novel class of medicaments for treating endotoxemia. The human coagulation factor light-chain proteins are light chain proteins of human coagulation factors VII, IX, and X, as well as a protein having homology of more than 50% thereof.
