The present invention concerns treatment of previously untreated HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer with a combination of a growth inhibitory HER2 antibody, a HER2 dimerization inhibitor antibody and a taxane. In particular, the invention concerns the treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer in patients who did not receive prior chemotherapy or biologic therapy with a HER2 antibody binding essentially to epitope 2C4, a HER2 antibody binding essentially to epitope 4D5, and a taxane. The invention further comprises extending survival of such patients by the combination therapy of the present invention. In a preferred embodiment, the treatment involves administration of trastuzumab, pertuzumab and docetaxel.

The present invention relates to antagonists of vertebrate growth hormones obtained by mutation of the third alpha helix of such proteins (especially bovine or human GHs). These mutants-have growth-inhibitory or other GH-antagonizing effects. These novel hormones may be administered exogenously to animals, or transgenic animals may be made that express the antagonist. Animals have been made which exhibited a reduced growth phenotype. The invention also describes methods of treating acromegaly, gigantism, cancer, diabetes, vascular eye diseases (diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, age-related macular degeneration, retinopathy of sickle-cell anemia, etc.) as well as nephropathy and other diseases, by administering an effective amount of a growth hormone antagonist. The invention also provides pharmaceutical formulations comprising one or more growth hormone antagonists.

The invention discloses a bacillus amyloliquefacien and a preparation method and application thereof. According to the bacillus amyloliquefacien and the preparation method and the application thereof, the culture collection number of the bacillus amyloliquefaciens H6 is CCTCC No: M2013249; the bacillus amyloliquefaciens has obvious growth inhibition effect for gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria, strong degradation ability for starch, albumen, and cellulose, strong environment tolerance, and excellent effect for preventing diarrhea and promoting growing, and can not produce adverse effect with large doses of feeding; and the rear condition is simple, the cost is low, and the development and application prospect is excellent.

The present invention relates to methods and compositions for inhibiting proliferation and inducing cell death in a population of cancer cells by (i) increasing the amount of the differentiation associated protein MDA-7, and (ii) decreasing RAS activity within the population. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that decreasing expression of a mutated, activated K-ras gene, together with introducing an expressible mda-7 gene, in pancreatic cancer cells had a synergistic growth-inhibitory and anti-survival effect, and abolished tumorigenicity of the cells in athymic nude mice. The methods of the invention may be directed to the therapy of pancreatic cancer and other malignancies.

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the inhibition of cancer metastasis, more precisely, a novel pharmaceutical composition against cancer metastasis comprising lipocalin 2 protein, a gene encoding the protein, an expression vector containing the gene or cells transfected with the expression vector as an effective ingredient, a method for the inhibition of cancer metastasis using the composition, a diagnostic kit for the prediction of cancer metastasis, a method for the selection of a metastasis risk group using the kit, a novel pharmaceutical composition for the inhibition of cancer growth and a method for the inhibition of cancer growth using the same. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention specifically inhibits cancer metastasis, so that it can improve the effect of cancer treatment dramatically. And, the diagnostic kit and the method for the selection of a metastasis risk group using the kit enable the selection of a metastasis risk group by measuring the level of lipocalin 2 in tumor tissues or in body fluid. Therefore, the kit and the method can contribute to the effective clinical control of a cancer patient. Further, the composition of the invention can be effectively used for the treatment of liver cancer owing to its liver cancer growth inhibitory effect.

The present inventors isolated clone BM095 from a human antibody phage library, which had a strong growth inhibitory activity in the IL-31-dependent Ba / F3 cell growth assay system. When administered to pruritus model mice, the anti-mouse NR10 neutralizing antibody exhibited a marked symptom-suppressing effect. Thus, it was revealed that anti-NR10 neutralizing antibodies are useful as therapeutic agents for pruritus.

The invention relates to an alpha, beta-unsaturated ketone compound containing a 1,2,4-oxadiazoles heterocycle, the structure of which is as shown in general formula 5, wherein R1 is hydrogen, methyl or chlorine; R2 is methyl, chlorine or bromine; R3 is methyl or ethyl; R4 is para-trifluoromethyl, ortho-methyl or para-nitro; and R5 is hydrogen or methyl. The invention also provides a preparation method of the compound and application thereof. The half-growth inhibitory concentration of the compound on HL-60 cells is less than or equal to 2.0 mu M, and the activity is obviously improved, thus the compound can be used for preparing antileukemie medicaments.
