Abstract: The baked object taking-out apparatus is an apparatus that takes out a baked object from a baking base plate including a disposing surface on which the baked object is disposed. The baked object taking-out apparatus includes a robot arm, a holding member that is provided on the robot arm, that is formed of a metal material, and that is capable of holding the baking base plate, and a protective member that is formed at a portion of the holding member which comes into contact with the baking base plate and that is configured with a ceramic coating which contains a ceramic component.

Abstract: The present invention provides a sustained-release pharmaceutical composition, characterized in that there are contained tamsulosin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a carrier for a sustained-release pharmaceutical composition and the ratio (Cmin/Cmax ratio) of the plasma tamsulosin concentration at 24 hours after the administration of the preparation per os (Cmin) to the maximum plasma tamsulosin concentration after the administration (Cmax) is about 0.4 or more.

Abstract: A sustained release pharmaceutical composition for tacrolimus, comprising a solid dispersion containing tacrolimus or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a carrier for a sustained release pharmaceutical composition, wherein a dissolution rate of tacrolimus after 4 hours from the beginning of a dissolution test is less than 35%, is disclosed.

Abstract: A controlled release dosage form of tacrolimus, comprising a solid dispersion of tacrolimus, wherein a controlled release base, which is selected from the group consisting of a water-soluble macromolecule, a gum base, and a membrane forming agent and does not form the solid dispersion of tacrolimus, is further contained, is disclosed. The controlled release dosage form of tacrolimus has an excellent controlled release and shows a stable blood concentration.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition comprising a lipophilic substance which inhibits IL-2 production, and a base capable of inhibiting blood exposure of the substance and delivering the substance to lymph following oral administration, is disclosed. The pharmaceutical composition can inhibit blood exposure of the substance to reduce its adverse effects, and can develop desired pharmacological effects.

Abstract: The present invention presents a pharmaceutical composition for oral use with improved absorption, which comprises drug, aminoalkyl methacrylate copolymer E, and acidic substance and is obtained by bringing said 3 components together and uniformly mixing at least this polymer and this acidic substance, and a method of improving oral absorption by using this pharmaceutical composition. Moreover, the present invention presents an agent for improving oral absorption that increases drug permeability of the digestive tract mucous membrane and/or mucous layer present on the surface of this membrane, whose active ingredient is aminoalkyl methacrylate copolymer E. In addition, the present invention presents an oral agent for improving absorption by increasing drug permeability of the digestive tract mucous membrane and/or the mucous layer distributed over this mucous membrane, whose effective component is aminoalkyl methacrylate copolymer E.

Abstract: [Problem] As compared with the current oral sustained-release preparation containing tamsulosin hydrochloride which have been supplied to the medical setting at present, it is needed to provide a sustained-release pharmaceutical composition in which the efficacy is equivalent or even better, adverse events such as adverse reactions (e.g., postural hypotension) are reduced, dose can be increased and, if desired, ingestion of food is not limited in the dosage and it is also needed to provide a method for administration of tamsulosin hydrochloride in which the adverse reactions accompanied by therapy or prevention on the basis of an ?1 receptor blocking action are reduced.
