Abstract: A burn wound-adherent dressing material comprising a complex of gelatin and a water-soluble resin material such as polyethylenimine. The dressing material may be in the form of a preformed film or in the form of an aqueous coating which sets to a gel and dries to a continuous wound-adherent film in situ.

Abstract: An anti-cancer device having an anti-cancer drug and a blood coagulation factor fixed to a structure. This anti-cancer device is used in transcatheter arterial embolization and needle therapy with advantage and slowly releases the anti-cancer drug over an extended period by staying in the cancer tissue and its nearby area.

Abstract: A flexible continuous film is comprised of a physical admixture of a polypeptide, a plasticizer and a film-forming flexible polymer. When the film is moistened, the polypeptides exude therefrom.

Abstract: A composition comprising a resorbable aqueous gel having dissolved or dispersed therein one or more water-soluble medicaments is of use in the treatment of wounds.Such a composition is of use in a method of healing an infection in a cavity in bone or other tissue whereby the resorbable aqueous gel is placed in the cavity and allowed to remain there until resorbed, the aqueous phase of the gel containing the water soluble medicament.The medicament is preferably an antibiotic or a methylol transfer antibacterial.

Abstract: A thixotropic, spoonable soft gel in an aerated or non-aerated multiphase composition of emulsified glycerides dispersed in a continuous phase of hydrocolloid and has an RVT Brookfield viscosity of about 100,000-500,000 centipoises at room temperature and a TD spindle speed of 2.5 rpm.

Abstract: A soft buccal containing (1) a medicament to be absorbed through the oral mucosa, (2) a water-soluble protein, (3) a polyhydric alcohol, and (4) a fatty acid ester or/and a carboxyvinyl polymer, has various advantages such as good feeling in use, good retainability within the mouth, slow release, improved absorbability of drug through the mucosa, improved bioavailability, etc., and therefore can be used an excellent pharmaceutical preparation for administration to the mucous membrane of the mouth.

Abstract: An emulsifying system for use in the production of cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions in the form of an emulsoid or gel comprises (i) at least one fatty acid having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms or a protein condensate of a fatty acid having from 8 to 40 carbon atoms and a polypeptide of animal origin, (ii) a polyoxyethylenated sterol and (iii) a phosphatide.

Abstract: An anti-cancer device having an anti-cancer drug and a blood coagulation factor fixed to a structure. This anti-cancer device is used in transcatheter arterial embolization and needle therapy with advantage and slowly releases the anti-cancer drug over an extended period by staying in the cancer tissue and its nearby area.

Abstract: A chewable, filled, one-piece soft elastic gelatin (SEG) capsule. The capsule includes a shell which is formed from a formulation of gelatin, water, a plasticizer, and a masticatory substance. The masticatory substance is present in the shell in an amount of about 1-75 percent by weight and the gelatin is present in the shell in an amount of about 10-90 percent by weight. A fill material is contained within the shell. The fill may be selected from a variety of materials, including candy, various confectionaries, antacids, cough and cold preparations, sore throat remedies, antiseptics, dental preparations, such as fluorides, breath fresheners, and the like. In manufacturing the SEG capsules, a molten gel mass is prepared with a dispersion of a molten masticatory substance therein. A suitable fill material is also prepared. The gelatin formulation containing the masticatory substance dispersed therein is formed as a shell around the fill material.

Abstract: A nail conditioning composition comprising an aqueous emulsion of sodium lauryl sulfate, urea and hydrolyzed animal protein in the aqueous phase and mineral oil, cholesterol and a lipid in the oil phase, said lipid being cetyl alcohol, cetyl palmitate or a base salt of palmitic or stearic acids. The composition moisturizes and imparts flexibility to the nail and softens the cuticle area.
