Abstract: RNA interference is provided for inhibition of tumor necrosis factor ? (TNF?) by silencing TNF? cell surface receptor TNF receptor-1 (TNFR1) mRNA expression, or by silencing TNF? converting enzyme (TACE/ADAM17) mRNA expression. Silencing such TNF? targets, in particular, is useful for treating patients having a TNF?-related condition or at risk of developing a TNF?-related condition such as the ocular conditions dry eye, allergic conjunctivitis, or ocular inflammation, or such as dermatitis, rhinitis, or asthma, for example.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of treating allergic conjunctivitis and non-infectious rhinitis in a subject that involve topically administering to the subject a composition comprising olopatadine and cilomilast.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of treating allergic conjunctivitis and allergic rhinitis in a subject that involve topically administering to the subject a composition comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of an H1 antagonist and an anti-TNF? compound.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of treating a wound in a subject that involve administering to the subject a pharmaceutically effective amount of a composition that includes one or more human connective tissue mast cell stabilizers, wherein administration of the composition results in treatment of the wound. In particular embodiments, the wound is an ophthalmic or dermal wound, such as a corneal epithelial defect, a conjunctival wound, or dermal abrasion. Administration, for example, may be by topical application of the composition to the ocular surface or skin. Exemplary mast cell stabilizers include olopatadine, variants of olopatadine, alcaftidine, derivatives of alcaftidine, dihydropyridines, and spleen tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions comprising the 15-lipoxygenase-1 (15-LO-1) or 15-lipoxyngenase-2 (15-LO-2) gene such that 15-LO-1 or 15-LO-2 protein expression is replaced or replenished in the ocular surface epithelium of postmenopausal women suffering from dry eye. Thus, methods for treatment of dry eye in postmenopausal women are further provided.

Abstract: Topical ophthalmic compositions and methods for treating dry eye are described. The compositions and methods of the invention are based on the finding that the oculosurface selective properties of the glucocorticoid rimexolone make this anti-inflammatory agent particularly well-suited for treating dry eye. As a result of the limited ability of rimexolone to penetrate the cornea, a high portion of the drug remains on the surface of the eye, which is the primary locus of the inflammatory conditions associated with dry eye. This enables a very low concentration of drug to be utilized, which in turn reduces the potential for elevations of intraocular pressure and cataract formation.

Abstract: Novel disulfide derivatives useful for preventing or treating allergic diseases of the eye, nose, skin, ear, gastrointestinal tract, airways or lung and preventing or treating manifestations of systemic mastocytosis are disclosed. The disulfide derivatives act as mast cell stabilizers.
