Pharmaceutical aviailability of diclofenac sodium from solid dispersions of PEG 6000 have been studied in comparison to those of the corresponding physical mixtures and pure diclofenac sodium. The diclofenac sodium is poorly water soluble drug. The properties of diclofenac sodium-PEG 6000 solid dispersions have been determined by the methods of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray dif...

This experiment was carried out to study the flow properties of whey protein (WP) dispersions as influenced by pH and protein concentration. All WP dispersions showed shear thinning behaviour around the ambient temperature which was not affected by pH at low protein concentrations (10%). Consistency coefficient of the dispersions was significantly (P < 0.05) affected by pH while the flow behavi...

The lipid transfer and mixing properties in hydrated dispersions of dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC)/dimyristoyl glycerol (DMG) binary mixtures have been investigated by using electron spin resonance spectroscopy of the spin-labelled lipid components. The assay system is based on the reduction in spectral broadening from spin-spin interactions that takes place by dilution of the spin-labe...

OBJECTIVE To assess the relation between P-wave and QT dispersions in elderly patients with heart failure. METHODS Forty-seven elderly patients (75.6+/-6 years) with stable heart failure in NYHA functional classes II or III and with ejection fractions of 37+/-6% underwent body surface mapping to analyze P-wave and QT dispersions. The degree of correlation between P-wave and QT dispersions was...

We present high resolution (R 20000) spectra in the blue and the far red of cicumnuclear star-forming regions (CNSFRs) in three early type spirals (NGC3351, NGC2903 and NGC3310) which have allowed the study of the kinematics of stars and ionized gas in these structures and, for the first time, the derivation of their dynamical masses for the first two. In some cases these regions, about 100 to ...

We prepared ophthalmic formulations containing 0.5% tranilast (TL) nanoparticles using 0.005% benzalkonium chloride (BAC), 0.5% D-mannitol, and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD), and investigated their usefulness in the ophthalmologic field by evaluating corneal toxicity and permeability. TL nanoparticles were prepared using zirconia beads and Bead Smash 12, which allowed the preparation o...

The dynamic structure of detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs) isolated from RBL-2H3 cells was characterized using two different acyl chain spin-labeled phospholipids (5PC and 16PC), a headgroup labeled sphingomyelin (SM) analog (SD-Tempo) and a spin-labeled cholestane (CSL). It was shown, by comparison to dispersions of SM, dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), and DPPC/cholesterol of molar ra...

in this paper, we establish some new results in ultra bessel sequences and ultra bessel sequences of subspaces. also, we investigate ultra bessel sequences in direct sums of hilbert spaces.specially, we show that {( fi, gi)}∞ i=1 is a an ultra bessel sequencefor hilbert space h ⊕ k if and only if { fi}∞ i=1 and {gi}∞ i=1 are ultrabessel sequences for hilbert spaces h and k, respectively.

When concentrated dispersions of tripalmitin in Triton X-100 are added to reaction mixtures containing soluble beef liver lipase, the rate of hydrolysis of tripalmitin increases with incubation time. When the diluted substrate is aged at 37 degrees C for 3 hr before the addition of enzyme, the rate of hydrolysis is greater than the rate with freshly diluted dispersions and is constant for at le...

The stability of colloidal dispersions is of crucial importance because the properties of dispersions are strongly affected by the degree of coagulation. Whereas the coagulation kinetics for quiescent (i.e., nonstirred) and diluted systems is well-established, the behavior of concentrated dispersions subjected to shear is still not fully understood. We employ the discrete element method (DEM) f...
