20120129153Diagnostic method for the prediction of the development and control of the effectiveness of the treatment of oncological illnesses - A diagnostic method, in which patient tissue samples are taken, microassay are prepared, specific anti-viral immunoglobulins are processed, the number of cells infected by two or more viruses before the beginning of treatment are determined, and the dynamic of the change in the number of infected cells and their interrelationships are established: if the number of blood cells infected by any two or more viruses exceeds 50±10% in patients without signs of oncological pathology, a diagnostic conclusion is drawn of a high danger of oncological illness in connection with immune system ineffectiveness; if the number of cells infected by any two or more viruses exceeds 50±10% in patients with diagnosed oncological illnesses, a diagnostic conclusion of the cancer tumor's low sensitivity to chemotherapy and the perspective of quick tumor metastasis is drawn.05-24-2012
20120129195Method of quick laboratory diagnosis if illnesses based on the discovery of specific proteins and equipment for its implementation - A method of quick laboratory diagnosis of diseases, based on the discovery of specific protein targets characteristic to the disease in the reaction of their specific interaction with other protein reagents, distinct in that specific protein targets for the given disease are hydrolyzed with proteolytic enzymes and then the chemical structure of the oligopeptide formula created is modified in such a way that its charge is changed to the opposite. This method of quick laboratory diagnosis of illnesses based on the discovery of specific proteins, and the equipment for its implementation, may be applied for the discovery of viral and microbial antigens in various human biological fluids. The method may also be used for the detection of new and little-studied infectious diseases in connection with the ease of diagnostic preparation.05-24-2012
20120129760Modified peptides with antiviral properties and methods for obtaining them - This invention may be used in human and veterinary medicine for the creation of a drug that is effective perorally in the treatment of many viral infections, such as influenza, herpes, and cytomegalovirus.05-24-2012
20120129787Modified oligopeptides with anticancer properties and methods of obtaining them - This invention may be used in human and veterinary medicine for the creation of a drug that is effective perorally in the treatment of oncological illnesses.05-24-2012
20120130060Modified antisense oligopeptides with anticancer properties and method of obtaining them - This invention may be used in human and veterinary medicine for the creation of a drug that is effective in the treatment of oncological illnesses in animals and humans.05-24-2012
20120130699Method of molecular design and synthesis of therapeutic and preventive drugs - Industrial Application: This invention may be used in human and veterinary medicine for the design (creation and synthesis) of therapeutic and preventive drugs that are effective for the treatment of oncological and viral human and animal illnesses and for the design of new medicines.05-24-2012
