Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions comprising azelastine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of azelastine and alprazolam are disclosed. Methods of using the pharmaceutical compositions for treating patients suffering from one or more psychiatric disorders such as major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, agitation, social anxiety disorder, mild chronic depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, seasonal affective disorder, dysthymia, childhood enuresis, bipolar disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, sleep disorder related to anxiety, are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and compositions for modulating the activity of KCNQ channels as a means for reducing the effects of aberrant KCNQ channel function associated with epilepsy, deafness and arrhythmias including but not limited to, Long-QT syndrome (“LQTS”), and atrial fibrillation. The present disclosure also relates to the discovery of certain regions of KCNQ channels that interact with various channel stimulating molecules such as, ATP, and PIP2, as well as KCNQ channel domains that effect voltage dependant channel activation. The disclosure is also directed to the use of small molecules to modulate KCNQ channel activity in a cell. Moreover, the present disclosure relates to the therapeutic effects of treating a subject with modulators of KCNQ channel activity.

Abstract: An absorptive polymer, which is an aqueous emulsion made from copolymerization of neutral unsaturated monomers, unsaturated lipophilic monomers and unsaturated hydrophilic monomers, in the proportion of 50:26-37:14-25 in weight. A compound fiber comprising cigarette filter rod fiber as core and surface layer absorptive polymer; the cigarette filter rod fiber is polypropylene fiber or cellulose acetate fiber; lipophilic groups of the absorptive polymer are attached to polypropylene fiber of cigarette filter rod.

Abstract: An improved cigarette filter material/method is provided, especially a compound fiber filter. Cylindrical, with paper tube, filled with tow of interconnected compound fibers in parallel with the cylindrical axis. Said compound fiber comprises a fiber core with a surface layer made from adsorptive materials on. The adsorptive material and the improved filter can effectively adsorb harmful substances from tobacco smoke, and not affect the cigarette taste or flavor.
