The use of classical superantigens for treatment of cancer has resulted in a low response rates and serious toxicity in humans which is attributable, in part, to the presence of preformed superantigen specific antibodies in the plasma of treated patients. The present invention addresses this problem by providing a method for treating tumors comprising the administration of one or a plurality of egc (enterotoxin gene cluster) staphylococcal enterotoxins comprising staphylococcal enterotoxins G, I, M, N, O. These superantigens in native unmodified form can be administered intrathecally, intratumorally, intravenously to humans with advanced lung cancer while resolving pleural effusions and prolonging survival to 300% above control patients treated with talc pleurodesis. Intratumoral egc superantigens induces a significant and sustained reduction of the tumor size. In contrast to classic Sags, the egc superantigens induced minimal toxicity, are rarely associated with the presence of preformed antibodies and are used as a plurality with a broad T cell Vβ profile. Useful egc superantigen compositions for parenteral administration native egc enterotoxins, homologues, fragments and fusion proteins of native egc enterotoxins capable of activating a broad spectrum of T cells expressing T cell receptor/α motifs. T cell survival-enhancing cytokines IL-7, Il-15, Il-23 are used. together with parenteral egc SE therapy. Also disclosed is combined therapy that includes parenteral, intratumoral or intrathecal superantigen compositions in combination with (i) intratumoral low, non-toxic doses of one or more chemotherapeutic drugs or (ii) systemic chemotherapy at reduced and non-toxic doses of chemotherapeutic drugs or (iii) radiation therapy or (iv) anti-angiogenic and tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

The invention relates to a functionalized arborescent macro radical carrier system for targeting malignant cerebroma. The functionalized arborescent macro radical carrier system is obtained by taking one or more of the following combinations as the targeting functional factor: transferrin and transferrin monoclonal antibody, or polyclonal antibody, folic acid (FA) and epidermal growth factor receptor monoclonal antibody, or polyclonal antibody and RGD cyclic peptide, chemically connecting the combinations to arborescent macro radical polyamide-amine (PAMAM) carrier system, and then compounding the combinations with treatment factor oligonucleotide, siRNA molecule or plasmid DNA. Through intra-tumor stereotactic injection, carotid injection or tail vein, the distribution of genes in the malignant cerebroma can be improved, high expression can be realized, and the effective cerebroma inhibition can be realized. Compared with the commercialized gene carrier Oligofectamin and unmodified PAMAM, the FA-PAMAM can remarkably improve the targeting delivery ability of the in vitro and in vivo genes.

The invention is a method of treatment of the symptoms related to inflammation that accompanies the release of Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha in diseases such as viral infection such as those affecting the respiratory tract by providing systemic glutathione (reduced) by oral administration of glutathione (reduced) in a liposome encapsulation or by the intravenous administration of reduced glutathione.

The invention discloses a method for detecting an activated blood coagulation factor XI in human intravenous immunoglobulin. The method comprises the steps as follows: (1) mixing an IVIG (intravenous immunoglobulin) sample with specially-preprocessed platelet-poor plasma (PPP); (2) adding a thrombin specific fluorogenic substrate with a phospholipid agent into a reaction system; (3) adding an initiation factor for starting a TGT (thrombin generation test), wherein the initiation factor comprises a calcium ion source and the phospholipid agent; (4) obtaining a thrombin generation curve providing parameters by the optimized reaction system; and (5) negatively correlating the peak time of thrombin (TTP) of the detected sample with the FXIa (activated blood coagulation factor XI) level in the sample.

To identify novel agents to treat carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. the Inventors used a nutrient-depleted medium with serum to mimic the in vivo environment. In RPMI with serum, the screen identified rifabutin (RBT) as being 133-fold more potent than rifampin (RIF) against A. baumannii, with MICs of 0.031 μg/ml and 4 μg/ml respectively. No difference in RBT vs. RIF activity was observed when MHII was used as the culture media. RBT possesses markedly superior in efficacy to RIF in murine models of lethal iv and pneumonia models of infection with a hyper-virulent, clinical lung and blood isolate of extreme-drug resistant (XDR) A. baumannii. In both models, RBT significantly improved survival and lowered bacterial burden compared to RIF. RBT is a promising, novel therapeutic option for A. baumannii infections.
