Abstract: Microemulsion preparation in which a plurality of specified surfactants are combined such that aqueous-phase droplets that contain a physiologically active substance of low absorption and which have an average size of 0.4-100 nm are dispersed in an oil-phase dispersion medium. In order to improve its low transdermic or transmucosal absorbability, the physiologically active substance is allowed to be present as dissolved in the aqueous-phase droplets in the W/O emulsion. The preparation is low in local irritation and uses neither malodorous substances such as higher alcohols nor conventional absorption enhancers.

Abstract: An optical fiber has a core structure and a first coating layer covering the core structure. The optical fiber, after being twisted, is covered at its outer side with a second coating layer. The second coating layer is higher in Young's modulus than the first coating layer. As a result, the twisting of the optical fiber is stably retained by the second coating layer. Further, an outer force coming from the second coating layer is absorbed by a soft first coating layer, so that no compressive force acts on a core and cladding in the optical fiber.
