The present invention is directed to a system for treating individuals at risk of or suffering from breast cancer. The system comprises administering to the individual a recombinant poxvirus, where the poxvirus contains in a foreign nucleic acid encoding at least one breast cancer antigen.

A method of treating or preventing a bacterial infection in an animal comprises administering to the animal an effective amount of an antibacterial peptide, the antibacterial peptide being derived from degraded date pits which are degraded by solid state degradation by a fungus, Trichoderma reesei. The antibacterial peptide has a molecular mass of less than 10 kDa and an amino acid sequence including (a) SEQ ID NO:4 or (b) SEQ ID NO:6. The bacterial infection is caused by a Gram-positive bacteria or a Gram-negative bacteria, for example, a Salmonella species, a Campylobacter species, a Shigella species, an Escherichia species, a Pseudomonas species, and a Staphylococcus species.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such Alzheimer's disease, that are caused by misfolding, aggregating proteins. The compositions and methods of the present invention comprise a vaccine formulation comprising an antigen selected from the group consisting of i) amyloid-β or a peptide that has in its amino acid sequence part of the amyloid-β amino acid sequence, ii) hyperphosphorylated tau protein or one of its hyperphoshorylated peptides, or iii) a combination of antigens derived from groups i) and ii) and that are formulated with a non-acylated or deacylated, natural or synthetic, bidesmosidic triterpene glycoside carrying an aldehyde or ketone group, which acts as an adjuvant or immune agonist. These vaccine formulations are capable of stimulating a Th2 immunity or antibody response against antigens such as amyloid-β and tau derived antigens, but not a Th1 immune response.

An interactive precision health care system related to high blood sugar includes an examination module generating an examination report, a database and a processing module. The database stores the examination report, a characteristic information, and a health care information. The characteristic information has a first range. The processing module receives and compares the examination report with the characteristic information. When a pre-meal blood sugar level falls within the first range, the processing module generates a dietary supplement product list including a product information and a time schedule of taking medicine. The processing module controls a delivery module to proceed with delivery. The processing module controls a reminding module to send out a message of taking medicine to obtain a new examination report. The processing module modifies the dietary supplement product list. The processing module controls the delivery module to proceed with delivery based on the modified dietary supplement product list.
