Abstract: The present invention provides taste-masked microcapsules of Linezolid or the like (any member of the orally effective oxazolidinone or macrolide antibiotics), suitable for oral administration as a suspension, a fast-disintegrating, effervescent or chewable tablet, and more specifically relates to such oral dosage forms in which the bitter taste of Linezolid contained therein is masked by a combination of microencapsulation by solvent coacervation and subsequent functional membrane coating on said microcapsules. The taste-masked granules thus obtained release less than 5%, most preferably less than 3%, at a pH of 4.0 to 6.0 (pH of the saliva) but rapidly release (as a burst) at pHs of the upper intestinal tract. The taste-masked granules are optionally blended with other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and filled into unit dose containers or compressed into fast-disintegrating/effervescent/chewable tablets. The contents of the Linezolid unit dose containers are suspended in an aqueous medium prior to oral administration to pediatric and geriatric patients, who are unwilling and/or find it difficult to swallow Linezolid tablets. In contrast, fast-disintegrating tablets on administration without water rapidly disperse into taste masked granules in the mouth.

Abstract: Cells are cultured on a cell culture support having a substrate surface coated with a temperature-responsive polymer whose upper or lower critical solution temperature in water is 0¼80°C, optionally forming multiple cultured cell layers by a conventional technique, and subsequently: 
(1) the temperature of the culture solution is brought to above the upper critical solution temperature or below the lower critical solution temperature; 
(2) the cultured epidermal cell sheet or multi-layered skin sheet is brought into close contact with the polymer membrane; and 
(3) the sheet is peeled off together with the polymer membrane. The thus obtained epidermal cultured cell sheet and multi-layered cultured skin sheet do not degrade E-cadherin or laminin 5 as contrasted with Dispase treatment and they still involve very few structural defects; these sheets hence hold great promise in clinical applications such as skin grafting.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a socket for an artificial hip joint. The present invention provides an artificial joint socket for knocking into a bone, with an excellent primary stabilization, which may be manufactured so that at least two locking elements are arranged in the distal superficies region of the socket shell. The locking elements anchor the socket shell in the hip bone and safeguard against tensile forces, torsion forces, and combined tensile and torsion forces. The locking elements effectively prevent the socket from rotating-out opposite the knock-in direction. When knocking in the implant, the locking elements cut into the bone and rotate the socket shell about the socket axis by a few degrees. The socket of the present invention forms a gradient of web-like locking elements with respect to the socket base surface, increasing from the distal or equatorial end towards the proximal or pole-side end, enabling the locking elements to jam and lock the implant against axial tensile forces, radial torsion forces, as well as the combination of both forces.

Abstract: Abstract An object of the invention is to provide a process for industrially producing fluorinated dicyanobenzenes using tetrachlorodicyanobenzene as a raw material. According to the present invention, fluorinated dicyanobenzene can be produced in a high yield by allowing tetrachlorodicyanobenzenes to react with a fluorinating agent in the presence of a non-protonic polar solvent in an amount of 0.1 to 3 times by mass based on the tetrachlorodicyanobenzene. Further, the above production can be conducted more efficiently by reacting while disintegrating or removing bulk solid matters.
