Abstract: This invention relates to a vitreous form of 8-[3-[N-[(E)-3-(6-acetamidopyridin-3-yl)acryloylglycyl]-N-methylamino]-2,6-dichlorobenzyloxy]-2-methylquinoline (FR173657). This vitreous form has good solid stability and, therefor, is useful for producing and supplying FR173657 products whose quality is stable enough to be suitable for medicines.

Abstract: Provided is a medicinal composition having a very satisfactory drug release profile and a very satisfactory drug absorption profile after oral administration characterized by its comprising an insoluble drug and two or more surfactants, at least one of the surfactants having as dissolved therein the insoluble drug and the other surfactant or surfactants.

Abstract: A humidifier comprises a liquid storing chamber provided in the lower portion of the casing. A nozzle is provided in the upper portion of the casing. An adaptor, provided in the upper portion of the casing, introduces compressed air and liquid into the nozzle. A liquid sucking pipe communicates with a liquid sucking opening of the adaptor and extends vertically downward to the vicinity of the bottom surface of the liquid storing chamber. A float is provided in the liquid storing chamber and is movable along the inner surface of the liquid storing chamber, depending on the amount of the liquid stored therein. A liquid cutoff lever is provided above the float and contacts the upper surface thereof. A liquid cutoff valve, of a liquid cutoff device mounted on the casing is operated by the liquid cutoff lever so that the capacity of the liquid to be controlled by the liquid cutoff valve is small, for example 30 cc.

Abstract: A two-fluid nozzle, constituted by a gas inlet and a liquid inlet; a first mixing chamber having a gas feed element connected to the gas inlet for feeding a gas along an axial center line in a direction toward a discharge end of the nozzle and having a liquid feed element for feeding a liquid into the outer periphery of the gas at the downstream end of the gas inlet; a substantially uniform diameter rectifying chamber opening out of the first mixing chamber and extending along the axial center line toward the discharge end for receiving the mixture of gas and liquid and conveying it therealong; a second mixing chamber having a larger diameter than the rectifying chamber and into which the downstream end of the rectifying chamber opens, the second mixing chamber having a wall face at the downstream end thereof spaced from and opposed to the downstream end of the rectifying chamber and against which the outer peripheral portion of the mixture of gas and liquid discharged into the second mixing chamber from the

Abstract: A method for preparing stable crystals of a salt of Ceftizoxime which comprises mixing an aqueous solution of a salt of Ceftizoxime and isopropyl alcohol and collecting the precipitating crystals. Crystals obtained in this manner are more stable than the crystals obtained from prior art methods involving mixed solvents of water and ethanol.
