Abstract:
A suspension formulation for therapeutic use includes a non-aqueous, single-phase vehicle exhibiting viscous fluid characteristics and a particle formulation comprising an erythropoietin receptor agonist dispersed in the vehicle.
Abstract:
An implantable device includes a reservoir containing a suspension of an interferon in an amount sufficient to provide continuous delivery of the interferon at a therapeutically effective rate of 1 ng/day to 600 μg/day to maintain and achieve therapeutic blood or plasma levels of the interferon throughout a substantial period of the administration period.
Abstract:
A stretch wrapping machine structure contains: a rotary disc including a column on which a guide way is arranged; an abutting plate including a rotating stem and a pushing portion adjacent to the rotating stem; a hot pressing sheet including a cutter seat, a driven bar, and a press segment; a holder including a V-shaped cross section and formed in a plate shape, the holder also including an actuation member, an actuating post, an operating segment, and a third cylinder; a biasing rod including a driving peg and a push segment; a controlling unit secured on a predetermined position of one side of the column; an air blowing unit located at a predetermined position of the holder. Thereby, an object is held on the rotary disc and is packed by a plastic film quickly and easily.
Abstract:
The invention relates to methods to be used in the maturation of ovarian follicles and oocytes. More specifically, the invention concerns the use of inhibitors of the phosphatase PTEN, such as oxovanadate and peroxovanadate complexes, in methods for in vitro and in vivo maturation of follicles and oocytes.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A suspension formulation for therapeutic use includes a non-aqueous, hydrophobic vehicle exhibiting viscous fluid characteristics, a dry particle formulation comprising a biomolecule dispersed in the vehicle, and a surfactant incorporated in at least one of the vehicle and dry particle formulation. A dry particle formulation includes an interferon, a buffer, a surfactant, and one or more stabilizers selected from the group consisting of a carbohydrate, an antioxidant, and an amino acid.
Abstract:
A particle formulation includes an erythropoietin receptor agonist, a buffer, and a sugar, wherein the buffer and sugar stabilize the erythropoietin receptor agonist against aggregation.
Abstract:
Thin films of conducting and superconducting materials are formed by a process which combines physical vapor deposition with chemical vapor deposition. Embodiments include forming boride films, such as magnesium diboride, in high purity with superconducting properties on substrates typically used in the semiconductor industry by physically generating magnesium vapor in a deposition chamber and introducing a boron containing precursor into the chamber which combines with the magnesium vapor to form a thin boride film on the substrate.
Abstract:
A suspension formulation of interferon includes a non-aqueous, single-phase vehicle including at least one polymer and at least one solvent, the vehicle exhibiting viscous fluid characteristics, and an interferon contained in a particle formulation dispersed in the vehicle. The particle formulation includes a stabilizing component comprising one or more stabilizers selected from the group consisting of carbohydrates, antioxidants, and amino acids. The suspension formulation is characterized in that less than 10% of the interferon degrades over 3 months under an accelerated storage condition.
