  • Publication number: 20190359661
    Abstract: This invention, in one aspect, relates generally to methods for optically modulating pain in animals and human. The invention provides method for the use of opsin for modulating pain, wherein optical stimulation of specific neurons and/or other cells in targeted regions of the nervous system sensitized by opsin, using genetic technologies, leads to significant reduction of pain perception to noxious stimuli. Further, the invention provides a method for inhibition of pain without use of exogenous opsin, wherein visual stimulation of eye (having endogenous opsin) is carried out. The invention also includes device(s) for controlled modulation neural and/or cellular activities in brain, eye and peripheral nervous system in order to treat different forms of chronic pain.

  • Publication number: 20190359663
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a liver-type fatty acid-binding protein standard by which, in a measurement using a specifically binding substance, the range of variation of a measured value caused by a liver-type fatty acid-binding protein can be narrowed; a method of evaluating the standard; a method of drawing a calibration curve of a liver-type fatty acid-binding protein; and a method of quantifying the protein. A liver-type fatty acid-binding protein standard in which a coefficient of change in oxidation, said coefficient being represented by the ratio of a measured value obtained by using a liver-type fatty acid-binding protein standard having been subjected to an oxidation treatment with 10 mM of an oxidant for 1 hour at 25° C. to a measured value obtained by using the liver-type fatty acid-binding protein standard not subjected to the oxidation treatment, is set to 1.

  • Publication number: 20190359664
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of Rspondins, particularly Rspondin2 (Rspo2) or Rspondin3 (Rspo3) or Rspondin nucleic acids, or regulators or effectors or modulators of Rspondin, e.g. Rspo2 and/or Rspo3 to promote or inhibit angiogenesis and/or vasculogenesis, respectively. The invention is based on the demonstration that Rspo3 and Rspo2 are angiogenesis promoters, and the identification of Rspo2 and 3 as positive regulators of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). These results indicate a major role for Rspondins, particularly Rspo3 and/or Rspo2 in the signaling system during angiogenesis. The invention also relates to the use of regulators or effectors or modulators of Rspondin3, including agonists and antagonists, in the treatment of conditions where treatment involves inhibiting or promoting angiogenesis and/or vasculogenesis.
