Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition for use in promoting wound healing and/or accelerating closure of an open wound in a subject in need thereof is disclosed. The composition comprises a therapeutically effective amount of a recombinant polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 80% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2; and a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, carrier, diluent, excipients, and/or salt.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of a mutant thrombomodulin is disclosed. The mutant thrombomodulin comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO: 2 and has residues corresponding to Ala364 and Ala391 of SEQ ID NO: 2. The mutant thrombomodulin has little or no protein C activation activity, and is effective in promoting wound healing and accelerating closure of an open wound in a diabetic.

Abstract: A method for treating ischemia that would benefit from angiogenesis is disclosed. The method comprises administering to a subject in need thereof a composition comprising: a) a fragment of human thrombomodulin in a therapeutically effective amount; and b) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier; wherein the fragment comprises the amino acids Ala242 to Ser515 of SEQ ID NO: 2.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treatment of wound healing, comprising administering to a patient in need of such treatment with an effective amount of a polypeptide comprising amino acid sequence or a conservative variant thereof having EGF-like domain of thrombomodulin. The invention also relates to a composition for the use of accelerating wound healing, comprising a polypeptide comprising amino acid sequence or a conservative variant thereof having EGF-like domain of thrombomodulin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for providing bactericide or bacteriostatic, especially for treating disease due to bacterial infection. The method comprising administering a patient in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of dextromethorphan or naloxone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or an analog thereof. The compound is applied to skin or mucosal surface of the patient. The invention also relates to a method of treating inflammation caused by suppressing secretion of TNF-?, IL-6, or MCP-1 from macrophage comprising administering a patient in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of NADPH oxidase inhibitor.
