  • Publication number: 20160263041
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a compound danshen dripping pill is disclosed. The method comprises: mixing powders of active substances with an excipient in a weight ratio between 1:1 and 1:2 to obtain a mixture; indirectly melting the mixture via a first oil at 75-80° C. until the mixture becomes a molten state; and dripping the melted mixture into a second oil at 3-10° C., cooling and solidifying the melted mixture to obtain the dripping pill. The powders of active substances comprise powders of Chinese salvia, powders of notoginseng and borneol, while the excipient comprises PEG 1500 and PEG 4000 in a weight ratio between 1:1 and 1:3.

  • Publication number: 20160263046
    Abstract: The present invention provided for a novel process of forming silk fibroin gels, and controlling the rate of ?-sheet formation and resulting hydrogelation kinetics, by vortex treatment of silk fibroin solution. In addition, the vortex treatment of the present invention provides a silk fibroin gel that may be reversibly shear-thinned, enabling the use of these approach for precise control of silk self-assembly, both spatially and temporally. Active agents, including biological materials, viable cells or therapeutic agents, can be encapsulated in the hydrogels formed from the processes, and be used as delivery vehicles. Hence, the present invention provide for methods for silk fibroin gelation that are useful for biotechnological applications such as encapsulation and delivery of active agents, cells, and bioactive molecules.
