Abstract: Compositions and methods for enhancing antigen-specific immunity in a subject are provided. Pharmaceutical compositions including an effective amount of an immuno-stimulatory cardiolipin as an adjuvant in combination with an antigen and methods of use thereof for stimulating protective immunity to the antigen in a subject are provided. Administration of the combination of the antigen and cardiolipin adjuvant is effective to enhance antigen-specific immunity in a subject to a greater degree than administering to the subject the same amount of the antigen alone. The active agents can be administered together or separately. In preferred forms the cardiolipin is cardiolipin species (C18:2)4. In preferred forms the antigen is formulated as a vaccine, such as an influenza vaccine.

Said composition can be applied as a thin transparent silicone film on a desired skin area, does not require any drying time, and has an improved adherence to the patient's skin, thereby improving patient compliance during treatment. Furthermore, said silicone composition can be provided with an SPF of 50 and a relatively high silicone concentration.

Abstract: Inorganic anions nitrate and nitrite influence metabolic rate and glucose homeostasis. Infusion of nitrite iv caused an acute drop in resting energy expenditure (oxygen consumption) and nitrate, when given perorally, caused a reduction in oxygen consumption during exercise and a depression of the increase in blood glucose observed after an oral glucose tolerance test. The doses of nitrate and nitrite did not cause any detectable change in methemoglobin levels of blood. Also, nitrate and nitrite did not alter lactate levels in blood. This discovery provides useful treatments to regulate the energy expenditure and glucose homeostasis of a mammal by administration of inorganic nitrite and/or nitrate.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to use of Rivastigmine in the preparation of an anti-radiation medicament, and belongs to the field of medical technology. The present disclosure provides use of Rivastigmine in the preparation of an anti-radiation medicament. Researches show that Rivastigmine significantly promoted the proliferation of Lgr5+ stem cells receiving 10 Gy radiation (after being irradiated with 10 Gy radiation for 10 d, Lgr5+ stem cells cultured in a Rivastigmine-containing culture solution had an increment 14.2 times of that of the Lgr5+ stem cells cultured in a Rivastigmine-free culture solution). Rivastigmine also significantly reduced the mortality of mice after being irradiated with 10 Gy radiation (after receiving 10 Gy whole body irradiation, all the mice not intraperitoneally injected Rivastigmine died within 10 d; and for the mice intraperitoneally injected Rivastigmine, the survival rate of the mice was still greater than 40% 30 d later), and thus might have good radiation-proof effect.
