  • Publication number: 20190358331
    Abstract: A DDS carrier enabling sustained release of a drug and a production method therefor. Wherein, the drug is retained by a PEG-carboxy group-containing polymer graft. Among polymers, a carboxy group-containing polysaccharide can be suitably used. The PEG-carboxy group-containing polymer graft is a compound prepared by grafting PEG into the carboxy group-containing polysaccharide. When the carboxy group-containing polysaccharide is used, it can be produced by utilizing a condensation reaction of an aminated PEG and a carboxy group-containing polysaccharide in coexistence with a triazine-based condensing agent. Alternatively, the PEG-carboxy group-containing polysaccharide graft can be produced by utilizing a condensation reaction of PEG and a carboxy group-containing polysaccharide in coexistence with an acid.

  • Patent number: 7829337
    Abstract: A cell-sheet releasing agent of the present invention contains an aminated polyrotaxane. The polyrotaxane constituting the skeleton of the cell-releasing agent of the present invention has a structure in which cavities of a plurality of cyclic molecules are threaded onto a linear molecule and both terminals of the linear molecule have a bulky cap bonded thereto so that the cyclic molecules are not dethreaded from the linear molecule. Furthermore, the aminated polyrotaxane contained in the cell-releasing agent of the present invention is a compound in which at least some of hydroxy groups in the cyclodextrin structure contained in the polyrotaxane are each substituted with a substituent having an amino group. According to this cell-sheet releasing agent, cultured cells anchored to the surface of a container can be released without damaging the cells and without controlling the temperature.

  • Publication number: 20100161021
    Abstract: This invention relates to a myocardial pad used in cardioversion, pacing, or the like and to a myocardial lead and a therapeutic apparatus for cardiac disease comprising the same. The myocardial pad of this invention is bondable to epicardia and has conductivity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Using this pad, the myocardial lead can be immobilized onto the atrium without suture. Thus, bleeding from the atrium, which is a lethal complication, caused by lead removal can be prevented.
