Using ion-exchange resins, a multiple-unit type of oral floating dosage system has been prepared to prolong gastric emptying time of dosage form. The system is composed of beads of drug-resin complex, which are loaded with bicarbonate ions and coated with a hydrophobic polymer. The system is so designed that when the beads reach the stomach, chloride ions are exchanged with bicarbonate and drug...

Patient demand for esthetic dentistry with minimally invasive procedures has resulted in the extensive use of freehand bonding of composite resin to anterior teeth. Preservation of remaining tooth structure and using as much enamel to bond to have made the procedure very predictable. In order to achieve maximum esthetics, the dentist must be able to use multiple layers of composite to mimic too...

Aim of this research work was to develop mouth dissolving tablet that disintegrates rapidly in mouth by using tasteless complex of Levocetirizine and Tulsion-335. Effect of different parameters such as swelling time, resin activation, drug resin ratio as well as stirring time was optimized by taste and percentage drug loading. Formulated DRC (Drug Resin Complex) was characterized by infrared sp...

A technique is described in which a polyester casting resin is used instead of agar for the growth of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in a biphasic system. In complex medium, higher concentrations and stability of T1 colony type were obtained with resin than with either agar or broth alone after 24 h of incubation. In defined medium, the growth of gonococci and colony type stability were similar in singl...

Ondansetron Hydrochloride (ODH) is 5-HT3 receptor antagonists and is used for pediatric formulation. It is an antiemetic drug given in treatment of nausea and vomiting. The bitter taste of the drug and having shorter half-life and needed frequent administration which reduces patient compliance. Hence, need was felt to deliver ODH to the patients, once a day to improve the patient compliance of ...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Recurrent caries is defined as caries in the marginal edges of filled teeth and is the most common reason for restoration replacement. The aim of this study was to evaluation of recurrent caries in amalgam, resin-based restorations and crowns in bitewing radiographies in patients who attended Kerman dental radiology centers, Iran.METHODS: This cross-sectional study conducted...

This paper presents a systematic evaluation of a commercially available strontium-specific extraction chromatographic resin based on a crown ether (Sr spec ), for use in applications of Sr isotope ratio analysis dealing with samples displaying a complex and/or Ca-rich matrix composition. A protocol, consisting of (i) loading a sample digest in 7 M HNO3 onto the resin, (ii) rinsing the resin wit...

Tests to determine the potential use of a quaternary ammonium resin-triiodide complex as a sterilizing agent showed that it was an ineffective sporicide and that bactericidal activity was impaired by complex milieu.
