Abstract: Described is a fragrancing composition having fragrancing components that are not activated until, e.g., application to the skin of a human. The composition is alkaline or (if anhydrous) capable of producing an alkaline pH when in contact with water, prior to application, and includes (1) a vehicle such that when the composition is in contact with water, prior to application, the composition is at an alkaline pH; and (2) at least one potential fragrance that is at least one compound having little or no odor in the alkaline composition but which, e.g., is hydrolyzed in a lower pH environment to produce compounds having a relatively strong aroma. Upon application of the alkaline composition to the skin surface, the strong buffering capacity of the skin (the surface of which has a normal pH of 5.5-7.0) neutralizes alkalinity of the composition (lowers pH) so as to restore normal skin surface pH; the potential fragrance is then hydrolyzed at the lower pH to release the compound having relatively strong aroma.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of hepatocyte and keratinocyte growth factors for controlling the proliferation and motility of corneal cells in vivo and in vitro. It also relates to the use of these factors for maintaining the viability of the corneal cells during or after ocular surgery and during corneal preservation in storage medium prior to transplant. Polymerase chain reaction amplification has demonstrated that corneal epithelial and endothelial cells in vitro and ex vivo corneal epithelium produce messenger RNA coding for hepatocyte growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor receptor, keratinocyte growth factor, and keratinocyte growth factor receptor. Additionally, it was demonstrated that hepatocyte growth factor and keratinocyte growth factor stimulate the proliferation of corneal epithelial cells and corneal endothelial cells in vitro in a dose response manner.

Abstract: Rupturable microcapsules made up of very small droplets or globules of perfume oil encapsulated with an inert polymeric wall are stabilized by providing ethyl cellulose in the perfume oil. This measure prevents escape of higher volatility components of the oil, which would otherwise occur during the preparation process. The stabilized microcapsules may be prepared by a liquid bath encapsulation method wherein ethyl cellulose is first dissolved in the starting oil, and the resulting solution is emulsified by mixing with a gelatin solution in water. The emulsion is then combined with a coacervant and cross-linking agent. Upon cooling the system, a gelatin-based wall coating is deposited around the emulsified particles. Fragrance characteristics of the starting perfume are preserved by this means.
