The present invention provides for compositions comprising a polymeric hydrogel impregnated with a toxin-absorbing or binding nanoparticle. The present invention also provides for the use of the above compositions for decreasing or neutralizing the effect of a toxin, or for treating or preventing an infection by a microbe that produces a toxin, in a subject. The exemplary toxin is a biological toxin such as a viral, bacterial, fungal, plant or animal toxin.

Disclosed herein are fusion proteins comprising a truncated thrombostasin protein having at least 85% sequence homology to a thrombostasin protein, wherein the thrombostasin protein has a carboxy terminal deletion; and a fusion partner protein that is a non-thrombostasin protein. Further disclosed are vaccine compositions thrombostasin proteins having a comprising a carboxy terminal deletion, and methods for inhibiting a response to a thrombostasin protein in a host in need thereof, comprising the disclosed fusion proteins or vaccine compositions. Further disclosed are methods for the preparation of a fusion protein composition.

The present invention relates to the preparation of an extract of the crustacean Artemia salina and to the use thereof to treat diseases of the ocular surface. The invention describes the application of the extract mainly by means of soaps, eyedrops, eye solutions, eye washes, aerosols, in the presence of unguents, creams, gels or contact lenses, inter alia. The application of the Artemia salina extract is efficient for treating pathologies consistent with ocular dryness (dry eye) and the manifestations thereof such as the appearance of injuries or ulcers on the ocular surface or infections caused by microorganisms and associated with dry eye, also on of the ocular surface.

An anti-microbial formulation of native ingredients for human and non-human vertebrate animal feeds, feed supplements/additives, or for direct doses to replace in whole or supplement traditional anti-microbial with side-effects such as allergies, microbial-resistance, and drug-interactions with non-toxic, side-effect free native anti-microbial for all vertebrates. The invention comprises of non-toxic, side-effect free native substances amalgamations having anti-microbial properties for food additives, food supplements, or direct doses. Furthermore, these native formulas can be use with or without other prescription or nonprescription anti-microbial medications. We describe the method of manufacture and also the process of use for this amalgamates.

The invention provides a combined external medicine for treating prostate diseases and a method using the same. The combined external medicine includes a pre-immune composition comprising multi-immune powder and a noble bottle tree decoction, a lesion active composition comprising the multi-immune powder and a first medical decoction prepared from a first Chinese medical composition for treating prostate diseases, and a double rib active composition comprising the multi-immune powder and a second medical decoction prepared from a second Chinese medical composition for conditioning liver and kidney. The method includes applying the pre-immune composition on skin of lesion part and skin of the left and right ribs; waiting for 5-10 minutes; applying the lesion active composition and the double rib active composition on the skin of the lesion part and skin of the left and right ribs; and airing for 10-40 minutes.
