Abstract: The disclosure relates to a slow-release biodegradable composite pesticide plug that can be used for trunk injection delivery of pesticides to protect woody plants such as trees (e.g., fruit trees) against pests. The composite pesticide plug generally includes a thermoplastic polymer matrix with a water-soluble thermoplastic polymer component, a cellulosic reinforcement, and a pesticide or other active ingredient. After injection into the tree trunk, the composite pesticide plug provides a uniform, relatively consistent dose of pesticide or other active ingredient to all parts of the tree throughout the growing season, thus reducing waste of material and cost. The biodegradable nature of the composite plug also enhances the healing of the tree after injection.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a biodegradable polymer microsphere-containing sustained-release injection containing escitalopram as an active ingredient, and to a method for manufacturing the same. In the case of escitalopram microspheres, there is a problem of low encapsulation rate, fracture due to weak strength, and initial over-release due to the phase separation of the liquid drug and the polymer inside the microspheres. In order to solve the problem, it is possible to maximize the encapsulation amount and the encapsulation efficiency of the escitalopram adding a hydrophobic solidifying agent to uniformize the non-uniform phase, to overcome the cracking of the microspheres at high loading conditions, and to properly control the initial release and release delay of the microspheres.

Abstract: Solid dispersions of lurasidone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are described, as well as pharmaceutical formulations thereof, and methods for making such formulations. Preferably, the solid dispersions are prepared by hot-melt extrusion or spray-drying, and comprise lurasidone with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier (e.g., hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose acetate succinate (HPMC-AS), polyvinyl pyrrolidine vinyl acetate (PVP/VA) copolymer, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate (HPMCP), or mixtures thereof). The pharmaceutical composition may be orally administered to a patient in either the fed or fasted state, with a decrease or elimination of the food effect. Preferably, following oral administration of the pharmaceutical compositions, there is no substantial difference in the pharmacokinetic parameters (e.g., Tmax, Cmax, AUC0-t and/or AUC0-infinity) of lurasidone, regardless of whether the pharmaceutical compositions are administered to a subject in the fed or fasted state.

Abstract: The invention relates to an oil-in-water emulsion for making up or caring for the lips. This emulsion contains a high proportion of glossy oils and is very fluid while remaining stable. This emulsion contains from 35% to 60% by weight of a mixture of oils, at least 25% by weight of water and from 0.01% to 20% of coloring material, everything being stabilized by the combination of a first polyethylene glycol ether of stearyl alcohol comprising from 2 to 5 oxyethylene units, a second polyethylene glycol ether of stearyl alcohol comprising from 15 to 25 oxyethylene units, and of a copolymer of acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonate and of hydroxyethyl acrylate.
Abstract: A composition in which the volatile silicone is partially or fully replaced by a plant oil. The plant oil containing composition is parity or better than the volatile silicone containing material but at lower cost. One example comprises a mixing product of at least one material chosen from antiperspirant actives and deodorant actives; greater than 10 weight % of a plant oil: and less than 40 weight % of a volatile silicone oil. Another examples comprises a mixing product of greater than 10 weight % of a plant oil; a gellant for the composition; and less than 40 weight % of a volatile silicone oil, wherein the composition does not contain an antiperspirant active or deodorant active.

Abstract: A subject of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic for unevenness correction which has an excellent effect of concealing wrinkles and pores and correcting skin unevenness and has good compatibility with a makeup cosmetic. The present inventors have found that the cosmetic for unevenness correction which conceals wrinkles and pores and has good compatibility with a makeup cosmetic at the time of application can be easily provided by using a polyacrylate water-absorbing polymer having a specific water absorption capacity, but not a water-soluble macromolecule having a thickening effect commonly used in cosmetics, and they thus have completed the present invention.
