  • Patent number: 11786515
    Abstract: Subject of the present invention is a diluted anesthetic solution, to be used cold, comprising the association of two different local anesthetics, one with a short duration of action and the other with a long duration of action and optionally in association with one or more adjuvant drugs having antibiotic, antifibrinolytic or antitumor action. With this association it is possible to prolong up to 150 m? duration of action in addition to offering better management of perioperative problems both as a request for analgesic drugs for post-operative pain, but also as a support to alleviate and reduce complications in some way connected to certain surgical procedures. The invention concerns also specific packaging with specific formulations, such as to make the immediate use of the mixture itself possible for different interventions.

  • Patent number: 11779575
    Abstract: The use of a Wnt inhibitor Wnt-C59 in the preparation of a drug for treating SCN5A mutation-induced dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is provided. With SCN5A genotype detection as a breakthrough point, a Wnt pathway-specific inhibitor Wnt-C59 is used to inhibit the abnormal activation of the Wnt?-Catenin pathway caused by SCN5A gene mutation, thereby improving the prognosis of cardiac function in a patient with SCN5A gene mutation-induced DCM. In experiments, aging and adriamycin-induced DCM models are constructed, and the therapeutic effect of Wnt-C59 on DCM is detected through indexes such as changes in cardiac function and activation of related signal molecules, which provides a theoretical basis for use of Wnt-C59 in the clinical treatment of DCM. A new treatment method for SCN5A mutation-induced DCM is provided to bring dawn to such patients and has promising application prospects.
