摘要:
A method for the delivery of aggrecan precursors to the joint of a subject, comprising the steps of: a) applying a composition comprising one or more aggrecan precursors chosen from the list comprising hyaluronic acid, glucosamine sulfate and/or chondroitin sulfate to the skin of the subject on or near a joint, wherein the composition is applied between the skin and a flexible magnetic film.
摘要:
A device for delivering an active agent to a dermal or mucosal surface comprising: a) a first portion configured to define a delivery surface for presentation to a dermal or mucosal surface to deliver an active agent; and b) a second portion configured as a body to be held by a user further comprising a means for driving the passage of the active agent across the dermal or mucosal surface wherein the first portion and the second portion are adapted to be releasably interconnected and wherein the means for driving the passage of the active agent across the dermal or mucosal surface comprises an electromagnetophoresis dermaportation device located immediately adjacent the point of interconnection to the first portion.
摘要:
An apparatus (40) is disclosed for facilitating transdermal delivery of therapeutic substances. The apparatus (40) comprises means (44) for producing an electromagnetic field, control means (26, 34) arranged to control said field producing means to alternately produce active and substantially inactive electromagnetic field portions. Each active electromagnetic field portion includes an electromagnetic field packet having a plurality of successive electromagnetic field pulses, and each substantially inactive electromagnetic field portion includes no electromagnetic field pulses. During use, when the electromagnetic field is incident on a patient, dermal permeability is increased. A corresponding method is also disclosed.
摘要:
A device for delivery of a measured or predetermined dose of an active agent to a dermal or mucosal surface comprising: a) a deformabie chamber comprising at least one dome-shaped member defining a reservoir for an active agent; and b) a porated disc.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for the separation of a mixture having a first component and a second component, the method comprising the steps of: (a) applying at least two destabilizing energy forms to the mixture to destabilize the mixture, wherein the destabilizing energy forms are chosen from the list comprising: mechanical shear force, thermal energy, and/or surface energy; and (b) applying at least one enriching energy form to the mixture to form a first region that is enriched in a first component relative to the second component and a second region that is enriched in the second component relative to the first component, wherein the enriching energy form is surface energy.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for improving the delivery of desirable substances across a membrane utilizing a varying electromagnetic energisation profile. More particularly, the invention provides methods for modifying the cellular environment of such membranes and the behaviour of substance molecules during transport across a membrane. In use, the profile will have application in, enhancing transmembrane delivery of substances (such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, biopharmaceuticals and cosmeceuticals), and/or enhancing or expanding a cellular cohort of membranes and surrounding tissues.
摘要:
A method for the delivery of an oral care active agent comprising the following step: applying an active agent(s) between a target oral biological barrier and a magnetic device comprising one or more pairs of displaced dipolar magnetic elements linked by a magnetic return wherein the magnetic return is orientated on the surfaces of the dipole pair distal to the biological barrier.
