The present disclosure relates to intraductal methods and compositions for inducing immune response in subjects having breast cancer. The intraductally administered compositions comprise one or more bioactive agents capable of inducing in situ maturation of antigen presenting cells and migration of mature antigen presenting cells to lymph nodes. The intraductal methods and compositions induce the activation of effector immune cells, and augment tumor cell death.

In particular, a composition for breast augmentation that includes a composition promoting an increase in subcutaneous tissue, wherein the promoting composition aims at accumulating and increasing adipose tissue under the skin of a breast by generating and increasing the adipose tissue around a mammary gland and enables recovery of autologous tissue and recovery of appearance by a safe and natural process, and a method for breast augmentation are provided. A composition promoting an increase in subcutaneous tissue that contains autologous plasma and a basic fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF), in particular, a composition for breast augmentation is provided. A composition for breast augmentation that includes the above-described composition promoting an increase in subcutaneous tissue that further contains fat is provided. Specifically, a composition for breast augmentation that includes the above-described composition promoting an increase in subcutaneous tissue, wherein the fat is in the form of a lipid emulsion and the lipid emulsion is an oil-in-water lipid emulsion produced by emulsifying fat and oil in the presence of an emulsifier, and a method for breast augmentation by using the composition are provided. An injection unit of the composition for breast augmentation is also provided.

The present invention relates to intraductal methods and compositions for treating subjects having breast disorders. Compositions comprise repolarizing agents and polarization blockading agents capable of repolarizing M2-macrophages to M1-macrophages in the tumor microenvironment, decreasing M2-macrophages, increasing M1-macrophages and/or increasing sensitivity to chemotherapy in the subject.

The present application relates to an anti-microbial system for use in the treatment of microbial infections or control of microbial contamination, which avoids the use of antibiotics. Such infections include mastitis, tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis and the contamination that may result from biofilm formation on medical devices.

A method of preventing intramammary infection and accelerating involution by administration of a biological response modifier, specifically a chitosan solution, to the teat of a lactating mammal at drying-off A chitosan solution neutralized with a weak base such as -glycerophosphate can remain liquid at room temperature for injection into a teat, but can form a hydrogel at body temperature inside the teat. The neutralized chitosan solution can also be optionally co-administered with a teat sealant.

The present invention relates to a composition, the composition including a therapeutically effective amount of at least one active agent, and a base including, an amount of colloidal silica; at least one oil; and at least one surfactant, wherein the viscosity of the composition is below 1000 mPas at a shear rate of 100 l/s and at a temperature of 20 C.

The present invention relates to novel Lactic Acid Bacteria strains Lactobacillus reuteri selected from the group comprising Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 32229, Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 32230, Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 32231 and Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 32232 and products comprising these strains. The present invention also relates to a use of one or more Lactic Acid Bacteria strains as a probiotic for the treatment of an inflammation and infection, such as mastitis and/or thrush, especially after topical administration of said strains.

Described is an intra-mammary teat sealant and a corresponding method of forming a physical barrier in the teat canal of a non-human animal for prophylactic treatment of mammary disorders during the animal's dry period. The method includes the step of infusing a teat seal formulation including a metal salt in a glyceride-containing gel base into the teat canal of the animal. The method also prevents the formation of black spot defect in dairy products, especially cheddar cheese, made from the milk of animals so treated.

This invention relates to a method for preparing compositions for preventing or treating microbial infections, compositions suitable for use in such treatments and methods for treatment or prevention of infections. One such composition finds particular use in treating mastitis in ruminants. The composition is administered into the udder of an animal as a highly effective treatment for mastitis, or as a prophylactic therapy, by means of an intra-mammary infusion. The milk produced by the animal, during treatment using the composition and method of the invention, is free of residues, such as antibiotics, antimicrobial agents or antimicrobial proteins, which could affect its suitability for drinking or in the production of milk products, such as cheese or yoghurt. The compositions and methods are also useful in treating and preventing lung infections; and infections in burns and wounds; and other infections caused by biofilms. The compositions may also be used on medical devices to prevent infection.
