  • Publication number: 20240100015
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an arctigenin liquid nano-preparation and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparation. In the present disclosure, arctigenin is prepared into a liquid nano-preparation, having advantages of distribution of a droplet diameter on nanoscale, significantly increased specific surface area, rapid absorption, and high bioavailability. Meanwhile, nano-preparation entered the body can be captured by wandering leucocytes, and a medicament is delivered to inflammatory lesions through chemiotaxis, thereby conferring a targeted drug delivery feature on the arctigenin and making a therapy more targeted. Moreover, in the present disclosure, the arctigenin is dissolved in an oil phase, and the oil phase is dissolved in water by emulsification to further make the arctigenin dissolve in the water and increase water solubility of the arctigenin.

  • Patent number: 7158228
    Abstract: A holographic imaging spectrometer, apparatus, and/or method enables the projection of a two-dimensional (2D) slice (having spectral information) of a four-dimensional (4D) probing object. A 4D probing source object is illuminated to emit an optical field. A holographic element having one or more recorded holograms receives and diffracts the optical field into a diffracted plane beam having spectral information. Collector optics (e.g., an imaging lens) focuses the diffracted plane beam having spectral information to a 2D slice (having spectral information) of the 4D probing source object. The focused 2D slice having spectral information is projected onto a 2D detector array surface. In addition, the holographic element may have multiple multiplexed holograms that are arranged to diffract light from the corresponding slice of the 4D probing source object to a non-overlapping section of the detector.

  • Publication number: 20050270607
    Abstract: A laser utilizes feedback from a volume holographic grating integrated in a collimating lens as a wavelength standard to lock the laser output wavelength to its desired value. This feedback is optical, wherein a volume hologram reflection grating is used to generate optical feedback into the laser gain region. Fabrication of the integrated volume hologram grating lens elements is by either first recording the grating in a rectangular parallelepiped of material and then shaping the lens from it, or alternatively by first shaping the material into the desired shape and then recording the grating with the use of an apparatus composed of an optical block within which a cavity is present to accept the lens and index matching fluid.
