The aim of the present study was to use factorial design to enhance the dissolution rate of nimesulide using solid binary systems with the hydrophilic carriers D-mannitol and polyethylene glycol (PEG 4000). Two-factor full factorial design was employed to investigate the effects of the drug/carrier ratio (X(1), 10 and 20%) and the method of　preparation (X(2), physical or co-melted mixture) on　t...

BACKGROUND: Constipation is one of the common problems in childhood and consists of 3% of referrals to pediatricians and 25% of pediatric gastroenterologists. Aperients are common alternatives for treating chronic constipation. The present study aimed to compare the efficacy of three laxatives [polyethylene glycol (PEG), magnesium hydroxide, and lactulose]. METHODS: In this randomized clinical ...

Graphene oxide (GO) is a hotspot, especially in the field of biomedical. However, the clinical application of GO is still faces a lot of challenges. In order to improve the solubility and biocompatibility of GO, polyethylene glycol (PEG) was grafted on the surface of graphene oxide by amide reaction. PEGylated graphene oxide (PEG-GO) was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectrosco...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of 2 different polyethylene glycol (PEG) doses for the maintenance treatment of functional constipation in children. METHODS Children with functional constipation according to the Rome III criteria were randomly assigned to receive PEG 4000 at a dose of either 0.7 g/kg (high-dose group; n = 45) or 0.3 g/kg (low-dose ...

This study first reports the pharmacokinetic disposition of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified salmon calcitonin (sCT) based on the number of attached PEG molecules. PEG-modified sCT was prepared by covalent linkage with succinimidyl carbonate monomethoxy polyethylene glycol. Mono- and di-PEG-sCTs were separated by size exclusion and reverse phase HPLC, and radioiodinated by the chloramine-T me...

Nano-sized γ-Al2O3 was synthesized successfully by a simple method using Al2(SO4)3·18H2O as aluminium source and in the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG 2000). FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used to characterize the structure and morphology of synthesized powder. The results showed that PEG playe...

emptied and washed, and the 24h efflux of inulin was determined; it is plotted against the final swelling ratio from the experiment in which the sac was stretched. An unstretched control is also included. In a similar unstretched sac, the half-time of raffinose escape was I4Omin. Clearly inulin escapes faster than the polyethylene glycol of comparable molecular weight at all porosities, but at ...

Objective: Methotrexate (MTX) is a folate antimetabolite used for the management of neoplastic diseases like leukemia and breast cancer, also in treatment psoriasis as well rheumatoid arthritis. The goal this research was to improving solubility dissolution profile methotrexate solid dispersion by using different polymers. Methods: A total six formulas were prepared solvent evaporation method p...

hbs vaccines were prepared by three different methods: 1) heat inactivation (krugman, et.al 1971)2) ammonium sulphate precipitation followed by column chromatography (sephadex g-200) 3) peg-6000 (polyethylene glycol) precipitation followed by column chromatography using sephadex g-200. their efficacy was studied in guinea pigs, and the results compared with commercial japanese vaccine (green cr...

Concentration of polyethylene glycol (PEG) has been measured satisfactorily using only 0.25 ml of intestinal aspirate (containing approximately 2.5 mg/l PEG). Hyden's turbidimetric assay was modified by reading turbidity at 420 mmu. The addition of extra protein was found to facilitate filtration after protein precipitation.
