20120093796NOVEL USE OF EC-SOD AND METHOD FOR PREPARING THEREOF - The present invention relates to compositions for preventing or treating angiogenesis-mediated diseases or allergic diseases which contain, as an active ingredient, an EC-SOD protein or a vector having a polynucleotide encoding thereof. The EC-SOD protein or the vector having a polynucleotide encoding the EC-SOD protein has the effect on inhibiting angiogenesis by inhibiting the expression of VEGF and MMP-9 which induce angiogenesis. Therefore, the EC-SOD protein or the vector may be useful for preventing or treating angiogenesis-mediated diseases. And the EC-SOD protein or the vector having a polynucleotide encoding said EC-SOD protein also has the effect on inhibiting over-differentiation of Th2 cells which cause allergic diseases, inhibiting transcription factor (NF-κ B), and reducing degranulation of human mast cells. Accordingly, the EC-SOD protein or the vector may be useful for preventing or treating allergy diseases. In addition, the inventive method for preparing an EC-SOD protein may be used in preparing an EC-SOD protein having the activity on a large scale. Therefore, the inventive method may be useful industrially.04-19-2012
20100112562Mutation Implicated in Abnormality of Cardiac Sodium Channel Function - A novel mutation in the SCN5A gene is associated with loss of cardiac sodium channel function. Analysis of the novel mutation provides an early diagnosis of subjects with cardiac diseases or disorders caused by loss of cardiac sodium channel function, particularly Brugada syndrome. Diagnostic methods include analyzing the sequences of the SCN5A gene or protein of an individual to be tested and comparing them with the sequences of the native, nonvariant SCN5A gene or protein. Pre-symptomatic diagnosis of these syndromes will enable practitioners to treat these disorders using existing medical therapy, e.g., using sodium channel blockers or through electrical stimulation.05-06-2010
