Abstract: The invention relates to an ophthalmic pharmaceutical composition and its preparation methods and applications, wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises of L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine suspended or dissolved in an isoosmotic solution suitable for human eyes, and has the advantages causing minimal irritation, with high stability and a good safety profile, and which can be used for relieving dry eye disease (DED) symptoms and/or improving and/or treating DED.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and membranes involving ion exchange membranes are disclosed. In an embodiment of the present invention, an ultrathin laminar layer made of inorganic nanosheets may be coated on one side or both sides of a polymeric anion exchange membrane (AEM), forming a composite AEM. Oxidation stability measurements may indicate that composite AEM provide superior oxidation resistance to exemplary polymeric AEMs and to commercial polymeric AEMs.

Abstract: A Rutile-type titanium dioxide having a rectangular particulate form configured such that major axial planes of rod-shaped particles having a minor axis diameter of 3 to 10 nm are oriented and aggregated in the minor axial direction, and a rod-shaped rutile-type titanium dioxide obtained by treating the rectangular rutile-type titanium dioxide with heat, wherein an apparent average major axial length of the oriented and aggregated particles is 100 to 400 nm, an apparent average minor axial length thereof is 30 to 150 nm, an apparent average axial ratio represented by apparent average major axial length/apparent average minor axial length is 2 to 5 and a specific surface area thereof is 10 to 100 m2/g.
