Abstract: A semifinished joint plate 60 has a refrigerant inlet portion 45 and a refrigerant outlet portion 46 spaced apart in the front-rear direction. The semifinished plate 60 has an upwardly or downwardly extending slit 61 formed between the inlet portion 45 and the outlet portion 46, and slit width adjusting portions 62, 63 extending through the thickness of the plate 60, having a larger width than the slit 61 and communicating respectively with the upper and lower ends of the slit 61. A portion of the semifinished plate 60 above the upper adjusting portion 62 and a portion thereof below the lower adjusting portion 63 are bent to shorten the plate.

Abstract: A process for continuously preparing a polyolefin foam molding, wherein expanded polyolefin resin beads are fed between a pair of upper and lower endless belts continuously traveling along a pair of opposing upper and lower surfaces, respectively, within a passage defined by structural members and rectangular in section, the expanded beads feed being then successively passed through a heating zone and a cooling zone within the passage. The expanded polyolefin resin beads have a core-coat structure in which the core is in an expanded state and comprises a crystalline polyolefin resin, while the coat is in a substantially unexpanded state and surrounds the core. The coat comprises a crystalline polyolefin polymer which is lower in melting point by at least 15° C. than that of the crystalline polyolefin resin or a substantially non-crystalline polyolefin polymer which is lower in Vicat softening point by at least 15° C. than that of the crystalline polyolefin resin.

Abstract: A suspension of a sparingly water-soluble acidic drug, especially, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic agent, which is stable for a prolonged period of time and is highly dissolvable, and a process for simply and easily producing the suspension. This suspension has a pH value of 2 to 5 and comprises a sparingly water-soluble acidic drug whose average particle size ranges from 1 to 15 &mgr;m, a polyglycerol fatty acid ester, a water-soluble polyhydric alcohol and water, optionally, together with an inorganic powder having an average particle size of 1 to 15 &mgr;m.

Abstract: [Object] : To provide a pharmaceutical preparation for treating or preventing hyperlipemia which lowers cholesterols and neutral fats in blood and has a property to improve lipoprotein metabolism.[Construction] : A pharmaceutical preparation for treating or preventing hyperlipemia comprising taurine and .gamma.-oryzanol as effective components.

Abstract: A composition containing natural drugs is disclosed. The composition is effective for relieving physical and mental fatigue and for ameliorating a weakened constitution without any side effects, even if administered for a long time.

Abstract: A dermatitis-curing agent, characterized by comprising (A) a zinc compound and (B) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of multivalent unsaturated fatty acids and their esters as effective components is very effective for enteropathic acrodermatitis syndrome, and seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis vulgaris, bullous dermatitis and puritus cutaneus, which show similar skin symptoms, or for symtoms due to zinc deficiency caused by injuries, burn injuries and frostbites.

Abstract: Liposome eye drops contain taurine, glucose and inorganic salts having a pH of 5.5-8.0. The osmolarity is between 250 and 450 mOsm and at least a portion of the taurine and inorganic salts is encapsulated in the liposomes. A preferred embodiment also contains aspartate.

Abstract: The cluster water having a potassium ion concentration of 100 ppm or more and containing potassium ions, magnesium ions and calcium ions in a weight ratio of potassium ions:magnesium ions:calcium ions of 1:0.3-4.5:0.5-8.5 has small clusters on the average, which are retained stably for a very long period of time at ordinary temperature.

Abstract: An oil-in-water type cream comprising(a) 0.01 to 0.5% by weight of hydrocortisone butyrate proponate,(b) 5 to 50% by weight of a higher paraffinic hydrocarbon,(c) 3 to 15% by weight of a surface-active agent,(d) 30 to 65% by weight of purified water,(e) not more than 20% by weight of a monohydric higher alcohol,(f) not more than 20% by weight of a dihdyric or trihydric alcohol, and(g) a pharmaceutically acceptable acid in an amount required to adjust the pH of the cream to a value in the range of 3.5 to 6.5 when it is diluted with water to 20 times its volume.
