Provided is a method for preventing and treating Parkinson's disease, including administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of a component of a plasminogen activation pathway. The present invention relates to a drug, a pharmaceutical composition, a product and a kit which include the component of the plasminogen activation pathway for treating the described condition.

The present invention relates to a method and a drug for preventing or treating osteoarthritis by plasminogen. Specifically, the present invention involves administering an effective amount of plasminogen to an osteoarthritis subject for treating the osteoarthritis. In addition, the present invention further relates to an osteoarthritis treatment drug comprising plasminogen, a product, and a kit.

The present application relates to a method for treating abnormal blood pressure condition, which comprises: administrating an effective amount of a component of plasminogen activation pathway to a subject. The present application also relates to a medicament and a product for treating an abnormal blood pressure condition, and use thereof.

Pharmaceutical compositions comprising plasminogen or a biologically active variant thereof are disclosed. In an embodiment, the composition comprises a tonicity modifier, a bulking agent, and a stabilising agent and has a pH of about 3.0 to about 10.0. In another embodiment, the composition contains an amount of particles in suspension equal to or greater than 10 μm which is lower than 6000 particles per 100 ml, and preferably lower than 2000 particles per 100 ml. Uses of these compositions as a medicament is contemplated. Various therapeutic uses of these pharmaceutical compositions is also contemplated.

This document provides methods and materials for performing retinal pigment epithelium transplantation. For example, methods and materials for using fibrin supports for retinal pigment epithelium transplantation are provided.

Provided is a method for treating spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), comprising: administrating a therapeutically effective amount of a plasminogen pathway activator to a subject. Further provided are a pharmaceutical composition, product and kit comprising said plasminogen pathway activator, which are used for treating spinal muscular atrophy.

The present invention provides a method and drug for preventing and treating Alzheimer disease. The method includes: administering a therapeutically effective amount of a component of a plasminogen activation pathway to a subject. The present invention also provides a drug, pharmaceutical composition, product, and kit containing the component of the plasminogen activation pathway.

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.

This document provides methods and materials involved in identifying mammals having lung adenocarcinoma characterized by neuroendocrine differentiation as well as methods and materials involved in treating mammals having lung adenocarcinoma characterized by neuroendocrine differentiation. For example, methods and materials for using ASCL1 and RET expression levels to identify lung cancer patients having lung adenocarcinoma characterized by neuroendocrine differentiation are provided.

The invention provides methods for enhancing the delivery of therapeutic compounds to the eye of a subject by administering plasmin or derivatives thereof and the therapeutic compounds to the eye.
