A barrier layer and corresponding method of making provide anti-inflammatory, non-inflammatory, and anti-adhesion functionality for a medical device implantable in a patient. The barrier layer can be combined with a medical device structure to provide anti-adhesion characteristics, in addition to improved healing, non-inflammatory, and anti-inflammatory response. The barrier layer is generally formed of a naturally occurring oil, or an oil composition formed in part of a naturally occurring oil, that is at least partially cured forming a cross-linked gel. In addition, the oil composition can include a therapeutic agent component, such as a drug or other bioactive agent.

The invention provides methods of formulating an anti-inflammatory composition for treating inflammatory conditions in a specific organ or tissue. The method involves selecting at least one pathogen that is pathogenic in the specific organ or tissue; producing an antigenic composition comprising antigenic determinants that together are specific for the pathogen; and formulating the antigenic composition for administration as an anti-inflammatory composition capable of eliciting an anti-inflammatory response in the specific organ or tissue. In embodiments of the invention the pathogen may be an endogenous pathogen, such as an endogenous bacterial pathogen. The pathogen may be an exogenous pathogen, such as a bacterial pathogen, viral pathogen, a fungal pathogen, or a helminth pathogen.

The invention discloses phosphatidylserine-modified curcumin nanoparticles; with biological endogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) as a membrane material, an anti-inflammatory drug curcumin is coated, and the PS-modified curcumin nanoparticle targeted drug delivery system is prepared; through simulating apoptotic cells, curcumin nanoparticles are identified by specific receptors on the surface of macrophages, and in virtue of the receptor mediated macrophage active targeting effect, macrophage uptake is enhanced; the drug curcumin enters the macrophages, then the anti-inflammatory effect is exerted, at the same time, a PS carrier is taken in, then the macrophages are induced to produce anti-inflammatory response, that is to say, release of pro-inflammatory cytokines is reduced, secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines is increased, and the drug and carrier synergistic anti-inflammatory effect is reached; the PS-modified curcumin nanoparticles can be used for application of drugs for treating macrophage mediated related diseases.

Heme released as a result of sustained injury leads to toxicity and triggers an inflammatory response and tissue damage. Heme oxygenase, an enzyme, recognizes, binds free heme and breaks it down as a part of the anti-inflammatory response. The present disclosure relates to a class of peptide amphiphiles that mimic the heme oxygenase function, and have shown that the designed peptide is able to bind and break down heme thus validating its potential as an anti-inflammatory agent that promotes tissue repair and useful in wound healing. The disclosed peptide sequence design provides control of amphiphile peptides' supramolecular structure and function. Applicants have shown that the incorporated heme molecule can transport CO, which suggests that the peptides can also transport NO, O2 and reactive oxygens, the molecules which are responsible for vasodilation, neurotransmission and cell death. Besides heme oxygenase function, it is believed that the designed peptides can recognize normal tissue adjacent to the damaged area and the peptide can self-assemble into fibers that promote healthy cell growth.
