Abstract: The present invention relates to polymeric microparticulates for sustained release of drug and to the process for the preparation thereof.

Abstract: A method for stabilizing a composition having a biologically active EGF as an active ingredient includes the step of adding a carboxyvinyl polymer as a stabilizer of the EGF. The content of the EGF is within the range of 0.1 to 1000 ?g/g on the basis of the total weight of the composition, and the content of the carboxyvinyl polymer is within the range of 0.001 to 50 (w/w) % on the basis of the total weight of the composition.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition formulated for sustained release is disclosed. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition comprises cyclosporin and a release modifier encapsulated in a biodegradable polymer. In a preferred embodiment, the release modifier is selected from the group consisting of hydrophilic release modifiers, lipophilic release modifiers, and combinations thereof. Most preferably, the release modifier comprises at least one hydrophilic release modifier and at least one lipophilic release modifier.

Abstract: A Web collaborative browsing system and method using an Internet relay chat (IRC) protocol. A plurality of users can view a Web page of the same address, or uniform resource locator (URL), at the same time through Web browsers run in a plurality of terminals. The users act as clients to an IRC server by means of collaborative browsing client programs installed in the Web browsers. On the basis of these component programs, the users can each construct a desired session or join a pre-constructed session to share the same Web page with other users in the same session. Each of the collaborative browsing client programs is executed in the corresponding Web browser to act to receive an event from the Web browser, create a message corresponding to the received event and send the created message, and to receive a message from the IRC server, analyze the received message and apply a command based on the analysis result to the Web browser.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a stable composition which comprises an epidermal growth factor (hereinafter referred to as “EGF”) as an active ingredient and a carboxyvinyl polymer as a base. The present inventors have identified that the EGF preparation comprising EGF as an active ingredient and acidic polymer such as carboxyvinyl polymer as a base has significant stability as compared with the prior arts using the base such as cellulose based polymer or neutral polymer. Therefore, the composition according to the present invention is useful in eye formulations, topical formulations for the skin and cosmetic formulations and so on.
