摘要:
The specification describes an economical process for the preparation of immunoglobulin for intravenous administration. An immunoglobulin can be, in accordance with the process, purified by a combination of a fractional precipitation method and an affinity chromatography. As a precipitant, divalent or trivalent metal salts are used and a complex of human IgG and a polyhydroxy polymeric compound is employed as an adsorbent. Purified immunoglobulin contains little or no aggregated or partially denatured globulin which is believed to cause anaphylaxis when administered intravenously. Prior art techniques cannot economically provide immunoglobulin in such a purified form and only intramuscular injections were feasible. Intravenous administrations allow immunoglobulin to be dosed in a larger amount and to act much faster than intramuscular injections.

An apparatus for non-invasively measuring the oxygen saturation in the blood of a subject comprises light sources for irradiating a sample of blood in tissue with at least a first light beam and a second light beam having different wavelengths. A switching device drives the light sources and sequentially switches the irradiation of the sample of blood between the first and second laser beams. A photoelectric detector detects light transmitted through or reflected from the sample of blood and provides an electrical output signal indicative of the intensity of the detected light. A converter converts the electrical output signal of the photoelectric detecting device to a power spectrum, and a processor processes the power spectrum and calculates the oxygen saturation of the sample of blood. The blood oxygen saturation in the blood can be measured with high accuracy based on the detection of the light intensity transmitted through or reflected from the blood, regardless of the presence or absence of a pulsed blood flow. Additionally, by irradiating the subject by switching between laser beams of two wavelengths, the subject receives less irradiation than when two lasers are used at the same time. Thus even if the amount of irradiation at each wavelength is slightly increased, the accuracy measurement can be improved without adversely affecting the subject.

摘要:
An antiinflammatory analgesic gelled ointment is disclosed which comprises indomethacin, a medium consisting of a glycol, alcohol and water, a gelling agent selected from cellulose and a carboxyvinyl polymer which has been neutralized with an amine, and water sufficiently enough to make up the balance. Such gelled ointment has an excellent antiinflammatory activity.
摘要:
Disclosed is an ophthalmological measurement apparatus in which a laser beam is directed into an eye under examination and a measurement value is output on the basis of the state of scattering of the laser beam within the eye. An alignment index projector is provided for forming an alignment index for use in judging alignment between the apparatus and the eye under examination, whose relative position is controlled to cause light scattering points produced at the eye by the laser beam and the light of the alignment index image to assume predetermined positions within the field of an observation. The apparatus can be used for measuring protein concentration in the anterior chamber of the eye or as a split lamp microscope and enables easy alignment between itself and the eye being examined.

An antiinflammatory analgesic ointment comprising: (a) an antiinflammatory amount of indomethacin; (b) a medium consisting of a hydroxy compound in the range of from 15 to 85% by weight, water in the range of 30 to 55% by weight and a gelating agent being present in an amount sufficient to effect gelation of said ointment and selected from the group consisting of a cellulose compound and a carboxyvinyl polymer which has been neutralized with aqueous ammonia or an amine; (c) an adjuvant being present in the range of from 0.5 to 5% by weight and selected from the group consisting of a C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alcohol ester of a C.sub.4 -C.sub.14 monocarboxylic acid and a C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alcohol diester of a C.sub.4 -C.sub.10 dicarboxylic acid; and (d) water in an amount sufficient to make up the balance of the ointment, said ointment being adjusted in its pH from an acidic to slightly basic level sufficient to solubilize said indomethacin in the composition but not too basic a pH level to cause decomposition of said indomethacin.
摘要:
An ophthalmic measurement apparatus is provided in which a laser beam is converged at a selected point in a measurement zone within an eye and light scattered therefrom is photoelectrically detected via a measurement mask having an aperture of a prescribed size for ophthalmic measurement. During alignment the measurement zone is scanned at high speed by the laser beam with the same scanning width as the scanning width used during measurement. This makes it possible to observe any harmful light rays that will actually appear during measurement at those settings and to align the apparatus so that the harmful light rays do not come within the limiting aperture of the measurement mask, thereby enabling measurement to be conducted under optimum conditions.
摘要:
An eye fixation monitor for ophthalmological examination is provided which is capable of automatically monitoring the eye fixation without the ophthalmologist being required to initialize the eye fixation value. The eye fixation is monitored using deviation signals derived on the basis of the eye image formed on photoelectric transducers. The eye fixation monitor is provided with means for inducing the patient to assume the eye fixation state, and to resume the monitoring automatically after the examination has been interrupted by excessive deviation of the line of sight from the eye fixation target.
