The present invention relates to a method of preventing or treating benign estrogen sensitive gynecological disorders in a female mammal, wherein the method comprises the administration to said female mammal of a combination of progestogen and androgen in an amount that is therapeutically effective to prevent or reduce the symptoms of these disorders. The present method is particularly suitable for preventing or treating disorders selected from the group consisting of endrometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, dysmenorrhoea, menorrhagia and metrorrhagia. Another aspect of the invention relates to a pharmaceutical kit comprising a plurality of oral dosage units which comprise a progestogen in an amount equivalent to 3-500 μg levonorgestrel and either 5 to 250 mg dehydroepiandrosterone or 1 to 50 mg testosterone undecanoate.

A low-concentration atropine solution for preventing myopia progression contains an atropine concentration less than 0.1% (w / w). Preferably, the atropine concentration is 0.05% (w / w) in optimal situation. The low-concentration atropine solution in treatment causes less photophobia and systemic side-effects to patients and has excellent compliance to reduce damages from ultraviolet and hazard blue light and to avoid visual morbidities such as cataract and retinal macula lutea deterioration.

Disclosed are novel anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical compositions and related methods that exhibit potent and selective inhibition of the cycloooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme. The formulation can comprise a hops extract that exhibits COX-2 selectivity as defined by dividing the IC50 COX-2 / IC50COX-1 concentrations that are determined by testing with the William Harvey Whole Blood Assay (WHMA), and can fall within the range of 0.011 to 0.2. Such compositions may also optionally contain high levels of alpha acids and low levels of beta acids, some flavonoid compounds, and virtually no essential oils. Such compositions are useful for treating conditions that manifest as inflammatory pain, or are impacted by the COX-2 enzyme. The recited compositions are particularly beneficial for treating osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, and can be used for chronic pain with reduced gastric side-effects.

The present invention includes a method of utilizing four peptide hormones to inhibit the growth of cancer(s). A dramatic decrease in the number of human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells (i.e., the type of cancer with the highest mortality, with patients only surviving four months) was observed responsive to treatment. The application of the invention would be to utilize one or more of these peptide hormones alone and / or in combination to treat cancer. The ability of these peptide hormones to decrease the number of adenocarcinoma cells has implications for adenocarcinomas at other sites in the body with the majority of cancers of the breast, colon and prostate also being adenocarcinomas. Adenocarcinomas also occur in the lung and other tissues. Treatment of a wide variety of cancers in addition to adenocarcinomas is anticipated by the present invention.

The present invention relates to compounds of the formulaand pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates or tautomers thereof, to processes for the preparation of, intermediates used in the preparation of, and compositions containing such compounds, and the uses of such compounds, in particular for the treatment of pain.

Method for relieving cough using an effective antitussive chemical compound belonging to stemoamide or tuberostemospironine and method for manufacturing pharmaceutical compositions for treating or relieving cough in human and animal subjects which including a stemoamide or tuberostemospironine compound. In addition, the antitussive property of the compounds provides a method for assessing the quality of herbs traditionally used in treating cough by analyzing the content of the effective chemical ingredient, i.e., compounds of stemoamide type and / or tuterostemospironine type. It further provides a method for identifying medicinal herbs which may be used for relieving cough by phytochemical determination of the existence of compounds that are of stemoamide or tuterostemospironine type.

A pharmaceutical combination comprising (a) CDK4 / 6 inhibitor (b) a B-Raf inhibitor, and optionally (c) a MEK 1 / 2 inhibitor; combined preparations and pharmaceutical compositions thereof; the uses of such combination in the treatment of proliferative diseases; and methods of treating a subject suffering from a proliferative disease comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of such combination.

A pharmaceutical combination comprising (a) an ALK inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and (b) at least one HDMA-2 / p53 receptor inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or at least one BRaf inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, and optionally a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, for simultaneous, separate or sequential administration; the uses of such combination in the treatment of cancer; and methods of treating a subject suffering from a proliferative disease comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of such combination.

The present invention provides devices and methods for non-invasively lowering intraocular pressure. In particular, some non-invasive intraocular pressure lowering devices of the invention comprise an oscillating element having a proximal end and a terminal probe. Typically, the terminal probe of said oscillating element comprises a substantially non-abrasive material that is adapted to be in contact with an ocular surface without causing any significant damage to the tissue and is shaped to conform to ocular surface at the limbal region. Devices also include an oscillating mechanism that is operatively connected to the proximal end of said oscillating tip such that when oscillating mechanism is in operation said oscillating tip moves axially without damaging ocular cells. Intraocular pressure lowering devices of the present invention are capable of non-invasively transmitting mechanical force to the tissue proximate to the limbal tissue.

The invention belongs to the field of Chinese medicinal preparations, in particular to the field of powder. The externally used powder for treating mumps comprises the following Chinese medicinal materials: rhubarb, rhizoma arisaematis cum bile, rehmanniae praeparatum, oyster shell, medcinal evodia fruit and figwortflowerpicrorhizarhizome of which the weight ratio is 10-30:5-25:1-35:5-25:5-15:5-15. The medcinal evodia fruit, the oyster shell and the figwortflowerpicrorhizarhizome are ground repeatedly into fine powder; the rhizoma arisaematis cum bile, the rhubarb and the rehmanniae praeparatum are crushed together; and then all the medicaments are mixed together and packaged by a unit dosage of between 90 and 100 grams. When the externally used powder is used, a proper amount of rice vinegar is added into the powder and the mixture is mixed evenly. The powder for treating the mumps is convenient in use, has no toxic or side effect, suits the remedy to the case, and improves the treatment effect.
