Abstract: Disclosed is the use of a cardiac glycoside to decrease or inhibit the secretion of proinflammatory mediators in the treatment of disease conditions characterized by elevated levels of the proinflammatory mediator. The cardiac glycoside is administered to a mammalian subject in need of such treatment, and dosage is adjusted to the mass of the recipient and the need of the recipient to reduce or inhibit the level of the proinflammatory mediator. The proinflammatory mediators suppressed by the invention include IL-8, IL-6, TNFalpha, ICAM-1, IFNgamma, IL-1-beta, MCP-1, MIP-2, and/or epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT). The cardiac glycoside, digitoxin or oleandrin, can be formulated for administration by injection or as an aerosol administered to the respiratory tract or by being ingested, or as nose drops or nasal spray. According to one use, the digitoxin controls microRNA expression in castration-resistant prostate cancer. The microRNA suppresses IL-8 and IL-6 expression in these cells.

Abstract: Presently described are dental compositions comprising one or more fatty mono(meth)acrylates, methods of use, dental articles, and methods of making dental compositions. It has been found that a relatively low concentration of a fatty mono(meth)acrylate can improve the handling characteristics of a dental composition by reducing the tendency of the composition to stick to a dental instrument and/or by reducing the tendency of a dental composition to string when being manipulated by a dental instrument. In one embodiment, a hardenable dental composition is described comprising a polymerizable resin composition comprising at least one multifunctional ethylenically unsaturated monomer; 0.2 to 10 wt-% of one or more fatty mono(meth)acrylate monomers; and at least 50 wt-% of inorganic oxide filler.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multicomponent oral health care composition, comprising a source of a fluoride ion, a source of a calcium ion, a source of a phosphate ion, and stabilized chlorine dioxide, that can be used as a toothpaste, oral spray or a mouth wash/oral rinse formulation. The different components in the composition act synergistically together to clean the teeth and mucous membranes of an oral cavity of a subject, perfuming them or protecting them in order to keep them in good condition, change their appearance or correct unpleasant odors. They achieve this by inhibiting caries, promoting teeth remineralization, and helping to alleviate dentine hypersensitivity, gingivitis and periodontal disease.
