These derivatives have a higher lipophilicity, lipid solubility and less irritation to the skin than the parent compound, and hence are better able to be incorporated into certain pharmaceutical formulations, including cream and ointment pharmaceutical formulations.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention contain a compound of following formula (Ia): R-CO-CAP (Ia) wherein CAP refers to collectively the capsaicins represented in FIG. 1 and a compound of formula (Ib): MCO-O-R (Ib) wherein MCO refers to myristoleic acid. In formulae Ia and Ib, R is selected from alkyl groups of up to about 18 carbon atoms and aryl groups of up to about 18 carbon atoms and alkylene group of up to about 18 carbon atoms and an arylene group of up to about 18 carbon atoms. The alkyl, aryl and alkylene groups may be substituted or un-substituted, branched or straight chains.

In addition, R may contain heteroatoms and may be straight chained or branched. The pharmaceutical compositions containing compounds of formulae Ia and Ib are useful for pain management in mammals in vivo and have been contemplated to be used in the treatment of various pains in humans.

Abstract:

A combined cushion and protective covering for a patient support having a patient-supporting surface comprises a central section having length and width dimensions corresponding substantially to corresponding dimensions of the support surface. Flaps which are unitary with the central section extend from the side edges of the central section a distance beyond the side edges of the support surface. The flaps are thinner than the central section so as to depend from the central section and lie alongside the patient-supporting surface. The central section and the flaps are formed simultaneously by compressing a block of cushioning material in such manner that the central section forms a pad or cushion unitarily joined at its opposite sides to the flaps.

During the compression of the block to form the central pad and the flaps the external surfaces of the pad and flaps are heated to an extent sufficient to enable the surfaces of the pad and flaps to form a smooth, moisture proof skin.

Application No.: 11/895220   Filing Date: 23/Aug/2007

Abstract:

It has been reported that many organic sunscreens lose their efficacy on exposure to UV rays. Further some of the organic sunscreens are known to interact with each other when applied on the skin with or without exposure to UV radiation. Thus such compositions are not stable. They are not very effective in blocking the UV-rays a few minutes or hours after the product has been applied to the skin. Further when such compositions are used and then exposed to sunlight or UV rays, the period over which the skin is actually protected is very short, while the consumer is under the mistaken impression that the composition is protecting his/her skin. This false impression can lead to the consumer exposing himself/herself more to sunlight thereby getting more damage to the skin. A solution to the foregoing problem is provided by a stable sunscreen composition comprising: (a) a complex of a first organic sunscreen % with a first paramagnetic metal ion

and (b) a second organic sunscreen.

Title: Membrane mask with acupuncture and massage functions and manufacturing methods

Applicant/Assignee:

Application No.: 11/515837   Filing Date: 06/Sep/2006

Abstract:

This invention is related to a facial membrane mask and its device for cosmetic and health care applications. This invention is particularly related to transcutaneous electric acupoint stimulators and cosmetic facial membrane masks. The combination of these two devices results in synergistic effects. This invention uses a facial membrane mask that can absorb skin care solution. Electrodes are integrated with the membrane at the positions which correspond to facial acupoints. When the wet facial membrane mask covers the face, the electric pulses generated by the stimulator can stimulate the corresponding acupoints, nerve or muscle. The stimulation results in acupuncture or massage effects. Therefore, both the traditional facial membrane's skin care effects, such as moisturizing and whitening etc., and acupuncture/massage effects can be obtained concurrently. Being able to modulate facial meridians and improve subcutaneous blood circulation, this invention is useful for cosmetic and health care purposes.

Title: Aloe Powder, Aloe Juice, and Method for Producing the Same

Applicant/Assignee:

Application No.: 11/597217   Filing Date: 21/May/2004

Abstract:

In the conventional technology, macromolecular polysaccharides, which the aloe vera gel inherently has, are broken down into small molecules for the following reasons: First, cellulose is broken down by the enzyme such as cellulose

Second, agitation in the cellulose breakdown process by the enzyme of cellulase and the like is performed in a heated state for an extended period of time

Third, nearly the same technique is employed also in the aloin absorption process by the activated charcoal

Fourth, a plurality of times of filtering causes intense oxidation to the gel juice. For the reasons described above, the molecular weight of macromolecular polysaccharides, which the aloe vera gel inherently has, is reduced to 80,000 dalton or less. Therefore, by use of the conventional technology, it is impossible to provide macromolecular polysaccharides that the aloe vera gel has in a state where aloin is removed. To solve the above-mentioned problem, we provide aloe powder which is made from aloe vera gel, characterized by that a molecular weight of polysaccharides contained in the powder is not less than 400,000 dalton and an aloin content ratio of the powder is not more than 50 ppm.

Title: Elastic Composite Having Barrier Properties

Applicant/Assignee:

Application No.: 11/774016   Filing Date: 06/Jul/2007

Abstract:

An elastic composite that contains an elastic film laminated to one or more nonwoven materials is provided. By selectively controlling the constituents of the composite and the method by which it is formed, the present inventors have discovered that the composite may be resistant to oils and other skin care compositions. More specifically, the elastic film is formed from one or more low density semi-crystalline propylene-based polymers that possess a unique combination of mechanical, elastic, and oil-resistant properties. By using such elastomeric polymers, the resulting elastic film may also be thermally bonded to the nonwoven web material(s) without the need for oil-resistant adhesives. Further, the bonding conditions may be selected so that apertures do not form in the film. In this manner, the resulting composite is impervious to oils or other liquids (e.g., solvents, water, solutions, etc.) and thus acts as a barrier during use.
