Abstract: Methods and compositions for enhancing development of a preimplantation mammalian embryo and for increasing the live birth potential of an in vitro fertilized mammalian embryo are disclosed. An in vitro method of activating the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor ? (PPAR?) in a preimplantation mammalian embryo comprises culturing an embryo in an embryo culture medium, and upon or after commencement of expression of PPAR? in the cells of the embryo, activating the PPAR? by adding an amount of a PPAR? ligand to said medium effective to bind to PPAR? to deter apoptosis in the cells of the cultured embryo and/or increase proliferation of the cells of the cultured embryo.

Abstract: A new chemical compound for treating human inflammatory diseases, tissue damage, stroke, septic shock and cancer. This chemical compound is produced from a process including the following steps: (a) washing human foreskin fibroblasts with a fresh DMEM medium then incubated in a fresh medium containing 2.5%-10% fetal bovine serum for at least 8 hours to form a proliferating phase medium (PPM); (b) subjecting the proliferating phase medium to a 10-kDa ultrafiltration membrane to separate the proliferating phase medium into a <10 kDa fraction, which passes through the 10-kDa ultrafiltration membrane, and a >10 kDa fraction, which is retained by the 10-kDa ultrafiltration membrane; (c) Chromatographing the <10 kDa fraction on a Superdex 30 column by FPLC to separate the <10 kDa fraction into five post-FPLC fractions; (d) Injecting the second post-FPLC fraction into a C18 column in a HPLC system with a gradient elute from 10% to 50% acetonitrile and water containing 0.

Abstract: The present invention discloses vectors comprising a cyclooxygenase sequence, a prostaglandin synthase sequence or both. The invention further discloses methods of making such vectors, and compositions comprising such vectors. Methods for treating a patient afflicted with a vascular disorder by use of said vectors and compositions are also disclosed.
