Abstract: Provided herein are compounds of formula (I): and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, where the substituents are as described herein. These compounds and their pharmaceutical compositions may be useful in the treatment of oncologic diseases.

Abstract: The invention relates to the compounds of formula I: and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and esters thereof, wherein n, G, W, X, Y, and R1 are defined in the detailed description and claims. The compounds of formula I bind to or associate with VLA-4 and can be used in delivery formulations to deliver drugs, nucleic acids, or other therapeutic compounds to tissues or cells expressing VLA-4.

Abstract: The present invention provides mammalian GPR39 gene, its coded products, and the uses in regulating appetite and pain sensitivity. A pharmaceutical composition and a health product comprising GPR39 protein are also provided. The health product and the pharmaceutical composition for suppressing appetite or decreasing pain sensitivity comprise a safe and efficient amount of antagonists of mammalian GPR39 protein (for example, 0.01-99%) and a bromatologically or pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in a suitable amount (for example 1-99.99 wt %).

Abstract: Hydantoin compounds which are active as glucokinase activators to increase insulin secretion which makes them useful for treating type II diabetes.

Abstract: Viable cells of an avirulent self-clearing strain of B. bronchiseptica are administered as an intra-respiratory vaccine. An aqueous suspension of the cells is applied to the respiratory mucosa immediately after incorporating a non-inhibitory amount of a wetting agent promoting the mucosal implantation of the cells. Effective immunization can thereby be obtained against diseases such as kennel cough in dogs and atrophic rhinitis in swine even through the strain of B. bronchiseptica is so highly attenuated that it is self-clearing from the respiratory mucosa.

Abstract: Method and means for vaccinating a mammal using a convex nozzle with an elongated tip. The mammal's alar fold is pushed aside by the tip so that vaccine is deposited behind the alar fold. Vaccine is then dispensed through the nozzle.

Abstract: A combination vaccine for increasing the resistance of swine to dysentery infection comprises killed cells of a virulent isolate of Treponema hyodysenteriae in combination with concentrated killed cells of Bacteroides vulgatus, or Fusobacterium necrophorum, or mixtures thereof. This combination vaccine can be adapted for either oral or parenteral administration. For parenteral administration preferably only Bacteroides vulgatus is used in combination with Treponema hyodysenteriae. The oral vaccine is enteric-coated.

Abstract: The resistance of field-raised swine to dysentery infection is increased by a sequence of parenteral and oral administrations. First there is parenterally administered to the swine an injectable cell concentrate containing a virulent isolate of killed cells of Treponema hyodysenteriae, and not less than five days after the animals have received the first of the parenteral injections, a series of oral administrations of enteric-coated pellets is started, the pellets containing concentrated killed cells of a virulent isolate of T. hyodysenteriae. The oral administrations are given at least once every 24 hours for a period of at least five days.

Abstract: An oral preparation for increasing the resistance of swine to swine dysentery infection comprises enteric-coated orally-administrable pellets containing concentrated killed cells of a virulent isolate of Treponema hyodysenteriae. In the preferred method of use, the preparation is orally administered to swine in a plurality of doses providing at least 3 mg. of the cells per animal per dose.
