Abstract: An external medicine for treating dermatitis wherein an adrenocortical steroid is included by a cyclodextrin; and 0.025 to 0.5% by weight of the adrenocortical steroid, 0.2 to 30% by weight of the cyclodextrin, and 0.5 to 55% by weight of dextran or pullulan are dissolved in an aqueous solution containing polysaccharide; and 0.5 to 55% by weight of xyloglucan, trehalose, laminaran, krestin, and pectin are blended. Grape sugar, mutan, lentinan, sodium chloride, and potassium chloride are comprised in the medicine. The medicine has a higher cure effect on atopic dermatitis and psoriasis vulgaris.

Abstract: A method and system for retrieving information from a set of documents using one retrieval keyword or more is capable of remarkably increasing the relevance ratio of a retrieval result. The system includes a category dictionary for storing category information containing morphemes included in the documents in a hierarchical structure, a morpheme-ID array produced by converting the set of documents into a set of fixed-length IDs in accordance with the morphemes while maintaining order information of the morphemes, and a retrieval part for retrieving a morpheme ID from the morpheme-ID array. The retrieval part retrieves a morpheme ID of the retrieval word and of any morpheme co-occurring with the retrieval word and having category information which matches retrieval-category information.

Abstract: The present invention provides an external therapeutic composition for dermatitis comprising an aqueous solution including a therapeutically effective amount of an adrenal cortical steroid, a cyclodextrin, polysaccharides, and a carrier such as water, prepared by clathrating the adrenal cortical steroid in the cyclodextrin using a homomixer to form a clathrate, and adding the clathrate to an aqueous solution of polysaccharides, while being stirred uniformly, to dissolve the clathrate in the aqueous solution, as well as a method for the treatment of dermatitis in a mammalian subject, which comprises administering to said subject a therapeupically effective amount of the external therapeutic composition for dermatitis described above. The external therapeutic composition for dermatitis according to the present invention is extremely safe and can cure dermatitis such as an atopic dermatitis or the like without side effects.

Abstract: The present invention is a bath which circulates and recycles a multiple mineral solution. The solution is released from the bathtub, filtered at the hair collector and the filtration device, sterilized at the electrolytic sterilizer, and returned to the tub. Non-metallic pipe is used along the circulation route. The electrolytic sterilizer employs several electrode panels which are placed perpendicular to the direction of flow of the solution. The filtration device features a rubber lining in the portions which come into contact with the solution, and has inside of it a dish onto which is lain filter sand. With the use of this invention, it becomes possible to repeatedly use and reuse a highly viscous solution containing multiple minerals as the recycling fluid, jams become infrequent, the filtration and reverse cleansing procedures become less time consuming, and the solution can be effectively sterilized.
