The invention provides a method for improving airway conductance in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of one or more of tumstatin; a derivative, variant or homologue thereof, a polynucleotide encoding tumstatin or a derivative, variant or homologue thereof; or an agent capable of increasing the expression or production of tumstatin.

Provided are methods of inducing satiety in an individual using gastric raft compositions and compositions suitable for such methods. The gastric raft compositions may comprise processed starches such as dextrins. Also described are methods of treating diseases characterised by hypoglycaemia, such as glycogen storage disease (GSD), and diabetes.

The invention provides recombinant Streptococcus mutans strains that can be used to improve oral health. An embodiment of the invention provides a method of reducing the incidence or severity of dental caries in a dental caries-susceptible host comprising administering orally to the host an isolated recombinant S. mutans strain of the invention in an amount effective for replacement of dental caries-causing S. mutans host strains in the oral cavity of the host. The isolated recombinant S. mutans strain 10 can be contained in a mouthwash, toothpaste, chewing gum, floss, chewable tablet, food, or beverage.

The present disclosure provides methods for treating traumatic brain injury and other neurological disorders in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a composition comprising ghrelin or a ghrelin variant. This invention provides for methods for treating a severe or moderate traumatic brain injury in a patient wherein said method comprises administering to the subject suffering from said severe or moderate traumatic brain injury a therapeutic effective amount of ghrelin or a ghrelin variant or a composition comprising ghrelin or a ghrelin variant so as to treat said severe or moderate traumatic brain injury.

The invention belongs to the technical field of bleeding disease control, and discloses a method for controlling a bleeding disease of lemon trees. The method includes: applying a fruit picking fertilizer to a lemon orchard during September-October every year, controlling the use amount of a nitrogenous fertilizer, adding a potassium fertilizer and a boric fertilizer, and suitably supplying a calcium fertilizer and a zinc fertilizer; performing winter whitewashing on the lemon planting orchard during October-December in autumn and winter every year, and importantly whitewashing trunks of lemon trees and bleeding disease parts of the trunks; checking the bleeding disease morbidity of the lemon trees during a peak stage of the bleeding disease in July-August in the next year, and whitewashing the trunks and the bleeding disease parts of the trunks again; spraying the lemon trees with a chemical fertilizer in a root outside manner so as to control the bleeding disease, controlling the use amount of a nitrogenous fertilizer, adding a potassium fertilizer, and suitably supplying a boric fertilizer; and suitably supplying a boric fertilizer while controlling the branch diseases of the lemon trees from a fruit expansion early stage to a fruit expansion middle stage of the lemon trees. The method can mainly control the bleeding disease, can lower the morbidity and the serious degree of the bleeding disease, and can increase the economic benefits of the lemon trees.
