The proposed invention involves the use of new drugs with the recombinant soluble tumor necrosis receptor (HusTNFR) and belongs to the gene engineering technology and gene function application field. This invention uses type I or type II long-acting HusTNFR (LHusTNFR) to perform an intervention for severe liver injury in rats with chronic liver disease using 5 types of animal models. The results showed that LHusTNFR, which has a half-life of 12-140 hours, shows excellent efficacy for preventing the development of severe liver injury on chronic liver disease and for treating early-stage severe liver injury on chronic liver disease. It also significantly reduced the mortality of the model animals. Its efficacy for the prevention and treatment of early-stage severe liver injury on chronic liver disease was significantly better than that of non-LHusTNFR.

The present invention provides methods for preventing, treating, or reducing the severity of sepsis, severe sepsis or septic shock, including bacterial, viral, and fungal infections, and including infections of more complex etiology. The invention involves the administration of an alpha thymosin peptide regimen. In certain embodiments, the alpha thymosin peptide regimen is scheduled or timed with respect to potential, expected and/or diagnosed sepsis, severe sepsis or septic shock. In certain embodiments, the patient is immunodeficient or immunecompromised, and/or the patient is hospitalized or scheduled for hospitalization, such that the regimen of alpha thymosin peptide peptide helps to protect the patient from, or reduce the severity of, sepsis, severe sepsis or septic shock.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an ophthalmic preparation comprising thymosin 4. According to the inventive method, the manufacture of an ophthalmic preparation comprising thymosin 4 is carried out in the presence of an inert gas, thus the contact of thymosin 4 with oxygen is blocked and the oxidation of thymosin 4 can be prevented and the pharmacological activity of thymosin 4 maintains for long-term period. Therefore, the ophthalmic preparation prepared by the inventive method can maintain the pharmacological activity of thymosin 4 in a stable state for a long time.

Embodiments of the disclosure provide methods and/or compositions useful for an individual in need of treatment of a cardiac-related medical condition. In particular cases, GLP-1 is employed in a ultrasound targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) system for delivery to cardiac tissue, thereby stimulating myocardial regeneration and, in at least some cases, reversal of cardiomyopathy.
