Abstract: A cosmetic composition contains a polycondensate having units of the formula ##STR1## wherein t is 0 or 1. When t=1, R.sub.1 and R'.sub.1 each independently represent linear or branched alkylene having 1-38 carbon atoms optionally interrupted by --CONH-- or --CO--; alkenyl or alkynyl having 2-18 carbon atoms; cycloalkylene having 5-6 carbon atoms; arylene or bis-arylene optionally substituted by alkyl or alkoxy; or a divalent radical of the formula, --CHR'--O--C.sub.2 H.sub.3 (R')--O].sub.n HCR'-- wherein n is 0-20 and R' represents hydrogen or methyl, and R.sub.2, R'.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R'.sub.3 each independently represent --COOR.sub.4, --CN, --CONH.sub.2 or --COCH.sub.3, wherein R.sub.4 represents hydrogen, linear or branched alkyl having 1-18 carbon atoms or cycloalkyl having 5-6 carbon atoms.

Abstract: Method and composition for cleansing wounds and skin burns or lesions by application of particles of cross-linked polymers of acrylamide, methacrylamide, ethacrylamide, and N-hydrocarbon substituted derivatives thereof.

Abstract: A fungicidal composition comprising a fungicidally effective amount of compound I selected from the group consisting of ##STR1## and an approximately equal weight of compound II selected from the group consisting of a quinoxaline derivative of the formula ##STR2## wherein for compound (IIa), R is Ch.sub.3 and X is O and wherein for compound (IIb), R is H and X is S.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions containing aliphatic di- and polyamine, or agmatine which are useful to regulate, i.e., stimulate or inhibit, epithelial cell growth. The compositions containing low concentrations of these compounds, by virtue of their epithelial cell growth stimulating activity, are useful in promoting wound healing, treating burns, treating ischemic, debubitus and peptic ulcers, plastic and reconstructive surgery, dermatological disorders, promoting autograft and homograft growth, stimulating organ and tissue regeneration in vitro and in vivo, as a component in defined (serum protein-free) media for cultured cells.Compositions containing these compounds in higher concentrations are useful in the inhibition of cell growth and are useful in the treatment of psoriasis and in retardation of fibrosis after injuries to the spinal cord and nervous system. Also disclosed are various methodologies for utilizing such compositions.

Abstract: 4,5-Dihydro-4-R-6-(4-pyridinyl)-3(2H)-pyridazinone (IA) or pharmaceutically-acceptable acid-addition salt thereof, where R is hydrogen or methyl, is shown as the active component in cardiotonic composition and method for increasing cardiac contractility in a patient requiring such treatment. Also shown is the preparation of IA by reacting a lower-alkyl 2-R-4-(BN)-4-cyano-4-(4-pyridinyl)butanoate with hydrazine, where R is hydrogen or methyl, and BN is 4-morpholinyl, 1-piperidinyl or 1-pyrrolidinyl.

Abstract: A microbicidal/microbistatic compositions for industrial use, which comprises 4,5-dichloro-1,2-dithiol-3-one and 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one, and a method of killing or inhibiting the growth of microbes, which comprises adding 4,5-dichloro-1,2-dithiol-3-one and 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one simultaneously or at intervals to a system to be controlled microbicidally/microbistatically.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition usefully applied to human hair and skin is comprised of a homogeneous mixture of milk solids, ethanol, water and volatile fragrances. The composition is non-flammable, and stable toward microbial degradation. The ethanol provides a cooling and antiseptic effect on the skin, promotes rapid hair bonding, and serves as a preservative for the composition.

Abstract: The invention relates to stick formulations of antimycotic azole derivatives containing, in addition to the antimycotic azole derivatives, 3 to 5% by weight relative to the formulation, of benzyl alcohol, 2.5 to 10% by weight, relative to the formulation of spreading agent and one or more auxiliaries.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition for the control of helminths in animals which contains a synergistic active ingredient combination which comprises the individual compounds of the formula I ##STR1## and of the formula II ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1 is the --NH--COO--R.sub.3 group, in which R.sub.3 is an alkyl radical of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, preferably methyl, R.sub.2 is an alkyl radical of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, preferably n-propyl, phenyl or phenyl substituted by halogen or alkyl, preferably unsubstituted phenyl, and X is --O--, --S-- or --SO--, including the acid addition salts of the compounds falling under the formula II.These synergistic compositions are used for controlling helminths, especially nematodes, in animals. The active ingredient combinations can be administered to the animals both as additive to ready prepared solid and liquid feeds and in the form of compositions, together with conventional carriers in solid or liquid form, orally, by injection, or by the pour-on method.

Abstract: Cosmetic agents for the control of head dandruff, containing customary cosmetic carrier substances and additives, and 1 to 5% by weight of salts of at least one biguanide derivative of the general formula ##STR1## wherein m is from 1 to 10 and n is from 1 to 6. Preferred salts include oligohexamethylene biguanide, oligotetramethylene biguanide and 1-methyl biguanide. Also preferred are the hydrochloride salts of biguanide derivatives. The agents may be in the form of shampoos, hair lotions, hair setting preparations, rinses, hair dressing gels and creams, hair oils, powders, or sprays. Customary carrier substances may be an ointment base, a powder, water, alcohol or water-alcohol mixtures. Customary cosmetic additives include resins, emulsifiers, thickeners, hair care substances, coloring agents, perfume oils, solid fillers, and propellants.

Abstract: N-tetrachloroethylthio benzoyl anilide compounds having the formula ##STR1## in which R is chlorine, hydrogen, or trifluoromethyl and X is hydrogen or fluorine, useful as acaricides and to control mosquitoes.
