Abstract: A treatment for a hyperglycemic condition, including diabetes mellitus, includes the step of administering to a human being dimethylformamide (“DMF”), which has the chemical structural formula: DMF can be administered to the human patient in a wide variety of ways, however it is preferable that the administration of DMF be performed orally and the dose of DMF could be combined with numerous inert substances known to the prior art, such as a sugarless fruit juice concentrate. The preferred daily dosage of DMF administered to a person would be about 0.041 mg/kg body weight to about 1.23 mg/kg of body weight of the person.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treating colorectal cancer including a material inhibiting the enzyme activity of peroxiredoxin 2 as an active ingredient, and more specifically, to a pharmaceutical composition for treating colorectal cancer, which exhibits the effect of reducing colon polyps via increase of active ?-catenin degradation by inhibiting the activity of peroxiredoxin 2, based on the mechanism that promotes colorectal tumor by the interaction between peroxiredoxin 2 (PrxII) and tankyrase (TNKS) in an APC-mutant cell.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing adrenochrome by catalytic oxidation using nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes. The method catalyzes dissolved oxygen in an aqueous solution by the nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes to rapidly oxidize adrenaline, which is completely transformed into adrenochrome. It is a novel preparation process of adrenochrome, which is simple, and has mild reaction conditions, high product purity, an impurity content less than 10?8%, and low subsequent processing cost, thereby having a great application prospect. The nitrogen-doped carbon tubes after use can be regenerated and recovered, and its reutilization is still able to realize the complete transformation of adrenaline. The high utilization rate of catalytic material conforms to the concept of energy conservation, minimizing the costs.
