Compositions for the treatment of some orphan diseases and oral mucosal ulcers, many with similarities in terms of their anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activities, but also multiple differences in their observed abilities that can be combined to challenge the current, underlying pathophysiology. The orphan diseases of interest are Dupuytren's Contracture, Peyronie's Disease, Scleroderma, Raynaud's (or Renaud's) Phenomenon, chemotherapy/radiation induced oral mucosal ulceration, and aphthous ulcers; and more frequent skin issues of skin damage from cuts, abrasions, and burns; aging skin changes, and toe nail fungus. These can be treated with the disclosed compositions with the proper combination and alteration of ingredients inclusive of alpha-pinene, an aloe vera preparation, and a shea butter preparation. A process for preparation of such ingredients in a water-in-oil emulsion is described herein.

The present invention relates to pre-formulations comprising low viscosity, non-liquid crystalline, mixtures of: a) at least one neutral diacyl lipid and/or at least one tocopherol; b) at least one phospholipid; c) at least one biocompatible, oxygen containing, low viscosity organic solvent;
wherein at least one bioactive agent is dissolved or dispersed in the low viscosity mixture and wherein the pre-formulation forms, or is capable of forming, at least one liquid crystalline phase structure upon contact with an aqueous fluid. The preformulations are suitable for generating parenteral, non-parenteral and topical depot compositions for sustained release of active agents. The invention additionally relates to a method of delivery of an active agent comprising administration of a preformulation of the invention, a method of treatment comprising administration of a preformulation of the invention and the use of a preformulation of the invention in a method for the manufacture of a medicament.

Products, compositions, systems, and methods for modifying a target structure which mediates or is associated with a biological activity, including treatment of conditions, disorders, or diseases mediated by or associated with a target structure, such as a virus, cell, subcellular structure or extracellular structure. The methods may be performed in situ in a non-invasive manner by application of an initiation energy to a subject thus producing an effect on or change to the target structure directly or via a modulation agent. The methods may further be performed by application of an initiation energy to a subject in situ to activate a pharmaceutical agent directly or via an energy modulation agent, optionally in the presence of one or more plasmonics active agents, thus producing an effect on or change to the target structure. Kits containing products or compositions formulated or configured and systems for use in practicing these methods.

A composition comprising a hydrogen peroxide source and at least one metal halide. The hydrogen peroxide source comprises hydrogen peroxide and a means for generating hydrogen peroxide. The means for producing hydrogen peroxide comprises at least one oxidoreductase and at least one oxidoreductase substrate. The oxidoreductase substrate comprises at least one sugar, said sugar located within the composition. The composition is held under conditions that render the components inactive until rehydrated.

The invention provides antimicrobial compositions comprising charged cellulose nanofibrils dispersed in an aqueous solution having a dissolved oxygen content of at least 20 mg/L, preferably from 20 to 100 mg/L. The cellulose nanofibrils may have an increased surface charge due to their carboxylic acid content which contributes to their antimicrobial properties. In particular, the carboxylic acid content may be at least about 1000 μmol/g cellulose, preferably at least about 1400 μmol/g cellulose. The compositions are suitable for use in the treatment of wounds, in particular chronic wounds.

This invention reveals the potential applications of modified porcine plasma fibronectin that could be applied as a safe material for clinical wound healing and tissue repair. In order to seek safe sources of plasma fibronectin for practical consideration in wound dressing, this invention isolated and modified fibronectin from porcine plasma and demonstrated that modified porcine plasma fibronectin has similar ability as homo plasma fibronectin being as a suitable substrate for stimulation of cell adhesion and directed cell migration. The present invention also reveals a material and a pharmaceutical composition enhance wound healing.
