Use of relaxin as adjuvant in the differentiation of stem cells for the reconstruction of tissues

InactiveUS20050143299A1Promote rapid maturationRapidly organizationBiocideNervous disorderAdjuvantSmell loss
On the basis of the experimental results it has emerged that relaxin has a pro-differentiating effect on stem cells. It is therefore suggested the use of this hormone as principal component of a drug for the treatment of all those situations that find or will find benefit from the use of stem cells for the reconstruction of tissues damaged by traumatic events or by ischemic-inflammatory-degenerative diseases. It is also suggested the use of relaxin for the treatment of syndromes deriving from the missing activation of stem cells during fetal development (at subsequent somatic-functional maturation), such as for example hypogonotropic hypogonadism with anosmia (Kallman's syndrome).

Use of leptin for infant with low birth weight for prevention of obesity

The invention discloses the therapeutic and prophylactic administration of leptin to (i) an infant of low birth weight for age; (ii) a nursing mother of an infant, the infant having low birth weight for age; or (iii) a pregnant female predisposed to giving birth to an infant of low birth weight for age; for the prevention or treatment, in later life of the infant, of a metabolic disorder or other condition associated with low birth weight, such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, gestational diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, hypertension or syndrome X. It is thought that the beneficial properties of leptin may be due at least in part to an effect on glucocorticoid metabolism, in particular to an increase in type 2 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity.

Alterations in the long QT syndrome genes KVLQT1 and SCN5A and methods for detecting same

Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) is a cardiovascular disorder characterized by prolongation of the QT interval on electrocardiogram and presence of syncope, seizures and sudden death. Five genes have been implicated in Romano-Ward syndrome, the autosomal dominant form of LQTS. These genes are KVLQT1, HERG, SCN5A, KCNE1 and KCNE2. Mutations in KVLQT1 and KCNE1 also cause the Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome, a form of LQTS associated with deafness, a phenotypic abnormality inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. Mutational analyses were used to screen 262 unrelated individuals with LQTS for mutations in the five defined genes. A total of 134 mutations were observed of which eighty were novel.
