Compositions and methods are provided for the treatment and diagnosis of diseases amenable to treatment through modulation of the synthesis or metabolism of intercellular adhesion molecules. In accordance with preferred embodiments, oligonucleotides are provided which are specifically hybridizable with nucleic acids encoding intercellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and endothelial leukocyte adhesion molecule-1. The oligonucleotide comprises nucleotide units sufficient in identity and number to effect said specific hybridization. In other preferred embodiments, the oligonucleotides are specifically hybridizable with a transcription initiation site, a translation initiation site, 5'-untranslated sequences, 3'-untranslated sequences, and intervening sequences. Methods of treating animals suffering from disease amenable to therapeutic intervention by modulating cell adhesion proteins with an oligonucleotide specifically hybridizable with RNA or DNA corresponding to one of the foregoing proteins are disclosed. Methods for treatment of diseases responding to inhibition of cell adhesion molecules are disclosed.

The invention discloses a detection kit and particularly relates to a kit for detecting premature rupture of fetal membranes. The kit comprises a nitrocellulose membrane and the following reagents: (A) membrane sealing solution, (B) mouse anti-human soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 monoclonal antibody detection solution, (C) washing solution, (D) goat anti-mouse IgG polyclonal antibody detection solution marked by horse radish peroxidase, and (E) chromogenic substrate diaminobenzidine solution. The kit disclosed by the invention detects the premature rupture of the fetal membranes by adopting a qualitative detection manner; the manufacturing cost and the use cost are both obviously reduced; meanwhile, compared with immune chromatography test paper for qualitative detection, the kit can effectively improve the sensitivity and the specificity of detection results of the premature rupture of the fetal membranes, and the sensitivity and the specificity reach more than 99% and more than 96% respectively, so that the occurrence rate of misdiagnosis is reduced.

The present invention relates to compounds, compositions, and methods for the study, diagnosis, and treatment of traits, diseases and conditions that respond to the modulation of ICAM-1 gene expression and / or activity, and / or modulate a ICAM-1 gene expression pathway. Specifically, the invention relates to double-stranded nucleic acid molecules including small nucleic acid molecules, such as short interfering nucleic acid (siNA), short interfering RNA (siRNA), double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), micro-RNA (miRNA), and short hairpin RNA (shRNA) molecules that are capable of mediating or that mediate RNA interference (RNAi) against ICAM-1 gene expression.

The invention provides a new application of syringin in medical science, in particular to application of syringin in the preparation of a medicine for treating acute gout. Syringin is extracted and separated from acanthopanax roots and other plants, and the extraction method comprises the following steps of: refluxing and extracting dry acanthopanax root powder with ethanol, recovering the ethanol, adding water to the concentrated solution, stirring to obtain a mixed suspension, extracting with petroleum ether, extracting the water layer with acetic ether, merging the acetic ether layer, concentrating under reduced pressure to obtain an extract, separating by using a silica gel column, carrying out gradient elution by using chloroform and methanol in sequence to obtain a coarse crystal, and recrystallizing with methanol to obtain a syringin crystal. Experimental researches show that syringin can protect an acute gout model due to human vascuoar endothelial cell damages caused by urateand inhibit the expression of ICAM-1 (Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1); thus, syringin can be used for preparing a medicine for treating acute gout.
