Abstract: The battery pack includes a tray having a bottom wall, a cell module disposed on the tray and having at least one battery cell, a high voltage connection portion provided on the bottom surface of the cell module and electrically connected to the at least one battery cell, a high voltage busbar connected to the high voltage connection portion, and a water absorbing sheet disposed between the bottom wall of the tray and the bottom surface of the cell module. A first opening portion is defined in the water absorbing sheet at a position opposite the high voltage connection portion.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition comprising a physiologically active polypeptide, an absorption promoting agent consisting of a combination of an organic acid and a fatty acid sucrose ester in admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent, which is suitable for oral administration and for application to the oral cavity, by which the polypeptide can sufficiently be absorbed through the intestinal tract or the mucous membrane in the oral cavity and exhibit the physiological activities without being suffered from enzymolysis.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions of matter adapted for intravaginal administration comprise a biologically active polypeptide, an absorption promoter, such as an anionic and/or nonionic surfactant or a nonionic surfactant and an aliphatic carboxylic acid, optionally an animal and/or vegetable protein and a nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent therefor, in a formulation suitable for intravaginal administration. Preferred compositions comprise calcitonin as the biologically active polypeptide. Preferred absorption promoters are anionic surfactants, e.g., sodium lauryl sulfate, and the combination absorption promoter of a nonionic surfactant and a medium chain aliphatic carboxylic acid or its salt, e.g. polyoxyethylenealkylphenylether and a medium chain aliphatic carboxylic acid.

Abstract: An oral pharmaceutical preparation of a type released at infragastrointestinal tract was successfully prepared, wherein a solid organic acid dissolvable, in the form of a solution, of chitosan and a solid pharmaceutical preparation including a principal agent are filled in a hard capsule composed of the base principally comprising chitosan and an enteric coating is formed on the surface of the hard capsule, characterized in that a desirable releasing time can be arranged, with no pH dependency, via water permeability derived from the porosity of chitosan of the capsule preparation.

Abstract: A high-absorbable transvaginal preparation having excellent absorbability of the active ingredient, which comprises a biologically active polypeptide and an absorption promoter comprising a polyoxyethylenealkylphenyl ether and one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of an N-acylamino acid, cholic acids, pectic acid, taurine, saccharin, glycyrrhizic acid, aspartame, or a salt thereof.
