摘要:
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 get 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.
摘要:
A bone fracture fixation device which is substantially free from resorbable components and is capable in use of a gradual decrease in rigidity over the fracture healing period from a rigidity close to or in excess of that of the intact bone to a rigidity significantly below that of the intact bone.
摘要:
Compounds of formula (I) [wherein R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and R 2 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a group of formula (II) in which R' is as defined above] and pharmaceutical compositions thereof may be administered prophylactically to humans or warm-blooded animals to combat the occurrence of osteitis or osteomyelitis, especially in patients suffering from bone injuries of traumatic origin.
摘要:
An enhanced water-absorbency hydrophilic polymer material, suitable for use in for example would dressings, is prepared by a process in which a water-containing organic hydrogel comprising a gelable polysaccharide and/or protein or polypeptide interpersed with a polymer of a hydrophilic acrylic or methacrylic acid derivative is permeated with a base, the pH of said hydrogel being raised to at least 9 during treatment with said base.
摘要:
A topically administrable wound-healing composition is decribed which comprises a physiologically acceptable zinc compound and one or more topical pharmaceutical carriers. The compositions are capable of sustained release of zinc ions and thereby promote granulation and tissue regeneration at the wound site.
摘要:
The invention provides pharmaceutical compositions in solid or semi-solid form for topical application to external wounds to enhance tissue regeneration comprising calcium and potassium ions, physiologically acceptable counter ions therefor and one or more topical pharmaceutical carriers or excipients. The compositions include in particular, semi solid gels containing amino acids and solid gels adapted to release wound-healing substances.
摘要:
Compounds of formula (I) [wherein R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and R 2 represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a group of formula II in which R 1 is as defined above] and pharmaceutical compositions thereof may be administered to humans or warm-blooded animals to combat toxic proteins or peptides, e.g. venoms, fungal toxins and bacterial exotoxins, in the bloodstream.
摘要:
The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions in the form of semi-solid aqueous gels for use in wound alimentation by application to a wound during healing. The compositions contain in solution each of the essential and semi-essential amino acids and malic acid and have a pH in the range 6.5 to 8.
