Stabilized aqueous compositions containing azithromycin suitable for administration without reconstitution are provided for. Also provided for are aqueous formulations suitable for ocular administration in a employing a convenient dosing formulation suitable for administration in depot formats.

The invention discloses an ophthalmic medicament and a preparation method thereof. The ophthalmic medicament comprises a phyllanthus emblica extract and water for injection. The ophthalmic medicamentcan provide a protective effect on viruses capable of being infected by eyes in a targeted manner; experimental research shows that the ophthalmic medicament has relatively efficient broad-spectrum antiviral activity, particularly has a remarkable treatment effect on new coronavirus and influenza virus, can effectively inhibit infection and propagation of the viruses, and has good prevention and control significance on propagation of diseases caused by virus infection on human bodies. The main effective components of the ophthalmic medicament are from natural plants, so that the ophthalmic medicament has the advantages of naturalness, safety, mild drug effect and the like, and the preparation method is simple, low in cost and very good in application prospect.

Polyhexamethylene guanidine eye drops relate to the technical field of eye drops, and comprise the following components by mass: 0.01%-0.1% of polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride, 0.01% of a synergist, 0.1% of pharmaceutical grade hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose, 0.05% of PEG200 (polyethylene glycol), 0.05% of PEG6000, 0.05% of water soluble vitamin E, 0.01% of water-soluble mint, 0.1% of pure sodium chloride, and 99.53%-99.62% of pure water. Polyhexamethylene guanidine is used in the eye drops, and the polyhexamethylene guanidine eye drops are suitable for bacterial conjunctivitis, keratitis, keratohelcosis, dacryocystitis, postoperative infection and other external ocular infections, and is good in sterilization effect, mild in nature, and non-irritating.

The present invention relates to a method for simultaneously detecting a plurality of pathogens from biologically-derived samples, and a kit for carrying out the method. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for simultaneously detecting a plurality of pathogens that cause infectious uveitis, one of eye infections from samples such as anterior chamber fluid or vitreous by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and a kit for carrying out the method.

Methods and pharmaceutical compositions (or delivering a therapeutic agent, treating a neovascularization disorder, and treating an ocular infection include make use of a compound that includes an clastin-likc polypeptide (ELP) coupled to a therapeutic agent, wherein the ELP comprises at least one repeat of the amino acid sequence VPGXG (SEQ ID NO: 1), and where the composition is suitable for ocular administration.

Instillation of a 1.5% (w/v) levofloxacin ophthalmic solution three times a day, which is the dosage or dose regimen of the present invention, has features to cure bacterial conjunctivitis in a shorter time than instillation of a 0.5% (w/v) ophthalmic solution three times a day, which is the conventional dosage or dose regimen, and not to increase the rate of occurrence of side effects. Curing the ocular infection in a short time leads to shortening of the duration of exposure of the ocular-infection-causing bacterium to levofloxacin. Therefore, the levofloxacin ophthalmic solution in the dosage or dose regimen of the present invention is eventually expected to suppress emergence of the resistant bacterium resulting from the long-term use of the levofloxacin ophthalmic solution in the conventional dosage or dose regimen. In addition, it is confirmed that the levofloxacin ophthalmic solution in the dosage or dose regimen of the present invention directly inhibits the ocular-infection-causing bacterium such as Staphylococcus aureus from becoming resistant to levofloxacin, which results from the short-term use of the levofloxacin ophthalmic solution in the conventional dosage or dose regimen.

Neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R) agonist mediated protection of the eye is described. The protection can reduce dry eye and ocular infections, particularly in individuals with reduced NK1R activity.

The invention belongs to the technical field of nucleic acid detection, and particularly relates to a real-time fluorescent multiple PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) rapid detection kit for common pathogens leading to ocular infection. According to the rapid detection kit, the problem of cross linkage among different primers/probes is avoided, each set of primer/probe is prevented from generating cross homology on other target/non-target nucleic acid sequences, various common pathogens leading to ocular infection can be detected simultaneously in one reaction, the detection time required is short, the accuracy is high, and a powerful detection tool is provided for the clinic and detection laboratories.

The invention provides compositions comprising carboline compounds for treating infections such as viral conjunctivitis. The invention also provides methods for treating of other infections, including ocular infections. More particularly, the present invention relates to compositions comprising carboline compounds for the treatment of ocular infections such as viral conjunctivitis, particularly those caused by adenovirus

The present invention relates generally to the field of ocular therapeutics and the development thereof for use in humans and animals including mammals and birds. More particularly, it relates to subunit vaccines that are effective against pathogens causing infections thereof for use in humans and animals including mammals and birds. The present invention specifically provides a novel vaccine formulation suitable for ocular immunization comprising a subunit vaccine antigen in an amount to provoke a protective immune response and at least two adjuvants of which one is corpuscular. It further provides a method for inducing a local and systemic immune response and methods for preventing recurrence of ocular infections and/or modulates the occurrence and/or severity of sequels.

The invention provides a corynebacterium and an application of the corynebacterium in ocular surface fungal infection resistance, the corynebacterium is a corynebacterium macginleyi C.mac2 strain, the corynebacterium is preserved in the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center on November 16, 2021, and the preservation number is CGMCC No.23924. The invention further provides a preparation method of the corynebacterium and an application of the corynebacterium in ocular surface fungal infection resistance. The invention further provides a new application of the corynebacterium, namely application of the corynebacterium in preparation of products for treating ocular surface diseases of different individuals. The invention further provides a product capable of being colonized on the ocular surface. The product is used for preventing and treating ocular surface diseases caused by fungal infection. Wherein the culture medium contains the corynebacterium and the product thereof. The corynebacterium provided by the invention does not induce eye infection under normal conditions, and when the corynebacterium is colonized on the ocular surface, the immunity of the ocular surface can be enhanced, and the cornea can be protected from fungal infection.
