Abstract: The present invention relates to uses of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) in promoting bone marrow regeneration, increasing peripheral white blood cells, and increasing platelet levels in subjects if administered prior to treatment with chemotherapeutic agents. Thus, particular embodiments of the invention are directed to uses of IL-1Ra as an adjuvant or ancillary therapy to alleviate the hematopoietic toxicities associated with chemotherapy.

Abstract: CXCR3 agonists, including natural CXCR3 ligands, promote bone marrow regeneration, increase peripheral white blood cells, and increase survival if administered prior to treatment of a subject with chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Similar effects are obtained by administering an CXCR3 antagonists following chemotherapy radiotherapy. Compositions and methods are presented for the treatment of cancer and bone marrow diseases.

Abstract: This invention relates to a general packing of expanded graphite and the process for production thereof. The packing mainly includes vermiform laminae of expanded graphite and auxiliary materials, which is characterized by the embedment of the auxiliary materials into the vermiform graphite laminae, the bonding of the auxiliary materials to the vermiform graphite laminae with organic adhesives. The process for producing of the packing comprises the treatment of graphite with strong acid to produce interlaminar compound followed by transient expansion of treated graphite to become vermiform and the combination of vermiform graphite laminae with the auxiliary materials to produce packing. Wherein the above mentioned vermiform laminae of expanded graphite are bonded to the auxiliary materials with organic adhesives, and the auxiliary materials are embedded between the vermiform laminae of expanded graphite.
