Abstract: Gemcabene, a carboxyalkylether, is effective in the treatment and prevention of pancreatitis in subjects. The compound can be administered in an effective dose as the free acid, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or an ester or pro-drug that is hydrolyzed or otherwise metabolized in situ to gemcabene as the free acid or salt thereof.

Abstract: Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I), preferably a variant form such as Apolipoprotein A-I Milano (ApoA-IM), alone or more preferably in combination with a lipid carrier such as phospholipids or other drug, can be administered locally before or during bypass surgery on diseased coronary, peripheral, and cerebral arteries, surgery to implant grafts or transplanted organs, or angioplasty, or to stabilize unstable plaques. In an alternative embodiment, the apolipoprotein is not provided directly, but the gene encoding the apolipoprotein is provided. The gene is introduced into the blood vessel in a manner similar to that used for the protein, where the protein is then expressed. The technique can also be used for delivery of genes for treatment or prevention or restenosis or other cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising liposomes and methods of using such liposomes to prevent, treat, or manage a variety of diseases and/or bodily conditions. The liposomes may comprise large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) alone or in combination with multilamellar vesicles (MLVs), small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs), or other therapeutics. The invention relates to liposomes having certain diameters administered to patients using specific doses and/or dosing regimens.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for high information content (HIC) analysis or screening of complex biological systems using Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FTMS). The present methods are useful for analyzing complex biological mixtures containing both high molecular weight molecules (e.g., polynucleotides, proteins, polysaccharides) and low molecular weight molecules (e.g., oligonucleotides, peptides, lipids, oligosaccharides, steroid hormones, catabolic and metabolic intermediates) permit the elucidation of molecular differences between complex biological samples, and permit the identification of biologically active molecules (e.g. therapeutically active drugs, etc.).

Abstract: The invention provides methods and compositions for treating or preventing ischemic reperfusion injury. The methods of the instant invention comprise the administration of compositions comprising apolipoproteins, lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase or paraoxonase and lipid complexes thereof to treat, reduce or prevent ischemic reperfusion injury.
