Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is to provide a bioabsorbable medical material having adhesiveness to a biological tissue and improved degradability. A bioabsorbable medical material according to an embodiment of the present invention contains a crosslinked polymer material forming a specific shape, and a disintegration delaying material retained by the crosslinked polymer material. The crosslinked polymer material has degradability in water, the degradability being suppressed in the presence of an acid. The disintegration delaying material releases 0.5 mol%/day or greater of an acid until the seventh day upon contact with water at 37° C.

Abstract: An oxidative stress inhibitor comprising a spherical activated carbon as an effective component is disclosed. The present invention is effective in the prevention or the treatment of a disease caused by oxidative stress, such as a kidney disease, a circulatory disease (for example, cardiovascular disease), a cancer, a diabetes, a cerebral stroke, or an arterial sclerosis.

Abstract: An agent for removing a circulatory dysfunction factor, which is effective for ameliorating a circulatory dysfunction, particularly a heart failure, and for treating or preventing circulatory diseases, for example, heart diseases, such as a cardiac failure or a congestive cardiac failure, or a phlebemphraxis is provided. The agent for removing the circulatory dysfunction factor contains a spherical activated carbon as an effective ingredient.

Abstract: Disclosed is a dispensing carton (200) containing a clip of interfolded sheets of a paper product, comprising: (a) a top wall (100) having a dispensing opening (180) through which the sheets (280) are withdrawn from the carton; (b) two pairs of opposing side walls (120, 140); (c) a bottom wall; (d) a dynamic friction reduction material (20) affixed to at least a portion of the inner surfaces of at least one of the pairs of opposing side walls; wherein the dispensing force required to dispense a sheet from the carton is reduced.
