Abstract: The invention relates to the use of argon gas for producing all or part of an inhalable medicinal product intended to prevent or treat a neurointoxication in humans. The medicinal product contains argon in an effective proportion and acts on at least one brain receptor in order to regulate the functioning of dopamine-, glutamate-, serotonin-, acetylcholine-, taurine-, GABA- and/or noradrenalin-mediated neurotransmission systems. Preferably, the proportion by volume of argon in the gaseous medicinal product is between 15 and 80%. The neurointoxication is chosen from excitotoxicities engendering a state of addiction, acute cerebral accidents, neurodegenerative diseases, and psychiatric or neurological pathologies, in particular anxiety conditions, psychotic conditions, in particular schizophrenia, and epilepsy in its various forms.

Abstract: An aqueous-based composition which includes a) at least one bispyridinium alkane (for example octenidine) and b) at least one stabilizer selected from antioxidants, complexing agents, reducing agents, UV filters and photoprotective agents, in particular ?-tocopherol, and BHT. The composition can also include c) one or more auxiliaries selected from, for example, nonionic surfactants, ethers, solvents and polymers, in particular fatty alcohol alkoxylates and alkoxylated fatty acid monoglycerides. The presence of the stabilizer reduces or prevents the appearance of decomposition products of bispyridinium alkanes and, in the case of the presence of auxiliaries, of decomposition products of the auxiliaries, such as ethers and peroxides.

Abstract: The invention relates to a preservative comprising at least one isothiazolone, at least one quaternary ammonium compound, and at least one stabilizer selected from the group of sulphite salts, hydrogen sulphite salts, sulphite-releasing compounds and hydrogen-sulphite-releasing compounds, the presence of algicidal triazine being ruled out. The preservative inhibits the growth of fungi, algae and bacteria on or in alkaline coating compositions. The invention furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of the preservative, to its use in a coating composition, and to the preserved composition.
