Abstract: A polysaccharide micro-particle encapsulating a growth factor is disclosed and shall include one or more growth factors, and a polysaccharide shell forming a space to encapsulate the growth factor by electrostatic interaction. Also, a method for manufacturing a polysaccharide micro-particle encapsulating a growth factor is disclosed, which shall include the following process: (A) providing a pH 4.6-6 polysaccharide solution and a growth factor; and (B) adding the growth factor to the polysaccharide solution, and adjusting the polysaccharide solution to a pH of 6-8 to obtain the polysaccharide micro-particle encapsulating the growth factor by electrostatic interaction. According to the polysaccharide shell structure, the growth factor can be stored for a long period of time and heal skin wounds, mucositis, and corneal ulcer effectively.

Abstract: A multi-opening pill box comprises a body, mobile covers and sealing covers. The body is a polyhedron having a plurality of openings and a plurality of cover slots. The cover slots can receive the mobile covers and the sealing covers. Two opposite sides of the body respectively have joining pins and pin holes used to assemble together the body to another body. At a specified time, the user takes out pills from one specified side of the pill boxes of the present invention. The pills stored behind the mobile cover of the specified side are pills to be taken at the specified time. The pills stored behind the sealing cover of the specified side are pills the user should not take at the specified time.

Abstract: A circular pill box comprises a body and also comprises a positioning ring, at least one pill disc, a rotating ring and a sleeve ring, which are stacked together from bottom to top inside the body, wherein the positioning ring, pill discs and rotating ring are engaged to each other. When rotated by a force, the rotating ring drives the positioning ring and pill discs to rotate synchronously. The bottom of the positioning ring has a positioning spring platelet press-fitting to one of positioning grooves formed on the bottom of the body. The positioning spring platelet can only rotate with respect to the positioning grooves stepwise and unidirectionally. Via the stepwise unidirectional rotation mechanism, the pills stored inside the pill discs can be sequentially released from the circular pill box according to the predetermined order.

Abstract: A multi-opening pill pouch comprises a pouch body and at least one adhesive patch joined to at least one surface of the pouch body. The pouch body has an opening at every side thereof. Each opening is equipped with a zipper device or sealed to form a sealed side. Several pouch bodies can be assembled together by adhesion. The pouch bodies containing medicines to be taken at a specified time are arranged at a specified orientation. The pouch bodies having the sealed sides thereof arranged at the same specified orientation contain medicines not to be taken at the specified time.
