    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to methods and compositions for clearing and cleaning enteral feeding tubes. More particularly, the composition is an ingestible gel composition that comprises enzymes for degrading buildup in enteral feeding tubes, carrageenan, and divalent metal ions or a source thereof. The carrageenan present in the composition stabilizes the enzymes at room temperatures, allowing for long-term storage of the composition. Upon injecting the gelled composition into the feeding tube, body heat from the patient melts the gel, and the enzymes are released to act on debris present in the feeding tube.

  • Patent number: 7695637
    Abstract: Disclosed are a slurry composition for chemical mechanical polishing and a precursor composition thereof. The polishing slurry composition includes deionized water, abrasive particles, a pH-adjusting agent and a surfactant, wherein the surfactant includes two or more ionic moieties and two or more lipophilic groups. The polishing slurry composition can polish convex surfaces of a semiconductor having a step height at a higher rate than the polishing rate for concave surfaces acting as polishing stop layers of the semiconductor so that the polishing can be self-stopped, reduces the occurrence of surface defects after the polishing process, and has a high degree of polishing planarization and good dispersion stability.
