In the present invention, Applicants demonstrate the effect of a biomembrane sealing agent on the development of chronic pain following tissue injury as well as acute pain in a model of acute inflammation. Applicants demonstrate the ability of this class of agents referred to as “biomembrane sealing agents” to reduce the severity of hyperalgesia and allodynia following mechanical insult to the nervous system as well as their ability to reduce acute pain in a model of acute inflammation. Applicant describes the use of injectable or depot formulations of biomembrane sealing agent(s) for prophylactic treatment such as they could be administered after the insult (i.e. post-injury or post-surgery) but before the onset of acute or chronic pain. Alternatively, biomembrane sealing agents could be used to reduce the severity of acute or chronic pain after onset.

This invention discloses a therapeutic post-injury pressure glove and a method to produce the same. The pressure glove is configured to apply pressure onto a plurality of pressure-receiving regions of an injured hand such that each pressure-receiving region receives a pressure within an upper bound and a lower bound determined therefor. In one embodiment, the pressure glove comprises a plurality of custom pressure-applying fabric portions each of which is configured to direct a pressure onto one of the pressure-receiving regions. A suitable fabric specific for each fabric portion is selected so that adequate pressure is provided on a wounded area while maintaining a low pressure on an intact part of the hand. The pressure glove is fabricated with a size less than the hand's size by a reduction factor. The reduction factor and the set of selected fabrics are determined via obtaining a computed pressure distribution.

Belonging to the pharmaceutical field, the invention relates to application of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) in preparation of neuroprotective and rehabilitation drugs. Experiments of the invention show that NAMPT recombinant protein can penetrate the blood-brain barrier to significantly reduce the volume of ischemic brain injury and alleviate white matter injury after ischemic brain injury; the NAMPT recombinant protein can significantly improve long-term behaviors after ischemic brain injury; the NAMPT recombinant protein can raise revascularization related factors to enhance revascularization after brain hypoxia and neuron regeneration after brain hypoxia, and promote post-injury neurologic function reestablishment; and by mediating oligodendrocyte regeneration and alleviating the demyelination effect of local lysolecithin, the NAMPT recombinant protein can promote restoration of white matter after injury and strengthen post-injury neurologic function reestablishment. Results show that the NAMPT recombinant protein plays a long-term neuroprotective role in drugs treating cerebral stroke, traumatic brain injury and multiple sclerosis, and can be used as a neuroprotective drug to treat acute and chronic injury caused by brain stroke.

A method of treating traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other neurological disorders is presented herein. Both conditioned media (CM) containing long non-coding RNAs such as NEAT1 (nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1) and MALAT1 (metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1) as well as human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) themselves (Tx), when administered at least 3 hours post injury, were found to significantly ameliorate motor and cognitive functions in young, but not aged, mice undergoing TBI. Significant reduction in cortical damage and hippocampal cell loss was observed in both Tx and CM groups in young rats, whereas less neuroprotection was detected in the aged rats and mainly in the Tx group but not the CM group, which may in part result from decreased homing of the cells to the spleen.
