  • Patent number: 8357653
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described providing therapeutic preparations of tachykinins, and more specifically sialokinins, for treating various types of abnormal cellular proliferation conditions in regions of tissue associated with the body of a patient. The sialokinins may be isolated and purified from natural or bioengineered sources, or may be synthesized, and may be combined into, with, or on an implant for local elution or otherwise as a powder mixed in a carrier vehicle for injection delivery. Tumors, warts, and restenosis are abnormal cellular proliferation conditions treated by therapeutic doses of sialokinin. Size of the tissue structure to be treated is used to determine the therapeutic dose of sialokinin. The sialokinins are either locally or systemically delivered at therapeutic doses for the desired effect. Implants such as stents are coated with sialokinins for local elution at the site of injury or tissue otherwise vulnerable to harmful conditions treated by the sialokinin.

  • Publication number: 20030175286
    Abstract: Administration of mosquito salivary tachykinins, such as sialokinin I and II, topically or by injection to an area of unregulated cellular proliferation will result in the recovery of cellular proliferative control. The tachykinins cause a number of physiological and immune system changes which induce recovery of proliferative control. These changes include vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, activation of macrophages, activation of neutrophil granulocytes, T-lymphocyte proliferation, monocyte interleukin production, mast cell degranulation in epithelia and eosinophyles; all of which function to stimulate the body to regain the delicate proliferative balance which has been disturbed by various environmental and viral insults on the body such as UV radiation, ionizing radiation, HPV, and other insults that cause tumors or warts through the same mechanisms.

  • Patent number: 5096481
    Abstract: A vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculum composition comprising host plant roots colonized by at least one species of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus, the colonized roots having a particle size in the range of from about 33 .mu.m to about 425 .mu.m and a propagule density of up to about 1,000,000 vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi propagules per gram dry mass of host plant root; methods for the encapsulation thereof and methods for enhancing plant growth utilizing the inocula.
