Abstract: The present application is directed to methods of performing chemical reactions, including multi-step chemical reactions in which two or more of the reagents in the chemical reaction are incorporated or entrapped in a solid polymeric structure comprising pullulan. In certain embodiments, the chemical reaction or multi-step reaction serves as a sensor. Accordingly the present application is also directed to sensors for performing the methods of the application. In certain embodiments, at least one of the reagents is a biomolecule and the sensor is a biosensor. In certain other embodiments, the solid polymeric structure comprising pullulan and the reagents for performing a chemical reaction form a convenient device for performing a chemical reaction.

Abstract: The present invention provides alginic acid derivatives represented by formula (I) and formula (II), and a novel crosslinked alginic acid obtained by carrying out a Huisgen reaction using an alginic acid derivative of formula (I) and an alginic acid derivative of formula (II). There are thereby provided novel alginic acid derivatives and a novel crosslinked alginic acid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of therapeutics and, more in particular, to pharmaceutical compositions for the prevention and/or treatment of bacterial infections and antibacterial-induced dysfunctions. The compositions of the present invention demonstrate high species-specificity in inhibiting the growth of a small number of bacterial species, and most importantly are effective also against multi drug resistant (MDR) clinical isolate species. Interestingly, one of those combinations pairs a non-antibiotic drug, vanillin, with an antibiotic drug, spectinomycin, to demonstrate a surprisingly strong inhibitory effect on the growth of clinically relevant Gram-negative pathogenic and multi-drug resistant E. coli isolates. A second set of compounds combines the polymyxin colistin with loperamide, a rifamycin, or a macrolide.

Abstract: The present invention relates to chimeric (preferably, bifunctional) compounds, compositions comprising those compounds and methods of treating cancer in a patient or subject, especially including metastatic cancer where cancer cells exhibit overexpression (heightened expression) of cell surface urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (urokinase receptor) compared to normal (non-cancerous) cells. The compounds preferably covalently bind to the urokinase receptor and recruit native antibodies of the patient or subject where the antibodies can selectively degrade and/or deactivate targeted cancer cells through antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis and/or antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) against a large number and variety of cancers, thus providing cancer cell death and/or an inhibition of growth, elaboration and/or metastasis of the cancer, including remission and cure of the patient's cancer.

Abstract: Drug products adapted for nasal delivery comprising formulations with epinephrine and devices comprising such formulations are provided. Methods of treating anaphylaxis with epinephrine products are also provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a fish feed or fish feed product including a binding agent that increases the particle size and stability of feces produced by fish that consume the fish feed or fish feed product. In general, the fish feed will include a binding against such as locust bean gum, cassia gum, xanthan gum, tara gum, or combinations thereof. Also provided are methods for increases fish feces stability and methods for eliminating suspended solids from a recirculating aquaculture system.

Abstract: Object of the present invention is to provide an intestinal immune-enhancing agent that can sufficiently increase IgA in the intestinal tract with a low dose while maintaining an increased amount of IgA for an extended period of time. Provided is an intestinal immune-enhancing agent containing a cellulose acetate that has a total degree of acetyl substitution from 0.4 to 1.1.

Abstract: A composition includes a sugar source and inositol. The sugar source is one more sugars select from the group consisting of glucose, sucrose, sucrolose, tagatose, galactose, high fructose corn syrup, fructose, isoglucose, and rhamnose. The composition of sugar and inositol has an unique properties that prevents or limits the signaling of TNF-? and associated pro-inflammatory cytokines when metabolized by an individual consuming the composition. Accordingly, the composition can be advantageously used to control blood glucose levels, treat diabetes and related conditions as well as treat diseases based on an inflammatory response.

Abstract: The disclosure provides for the use of an oligosaccharide for the treatment of liver disease. More particularly, the disclosure provide methods and composition for treating liver disease comprising administering 2?-FL to a subject.
