    摘要: A medication is disclosed, and the medication includes carboxymethylated starch. The medication includes a citrate and/or citric acid for reducing postoperative adhesions. The citrate and/or citric acid is/are situated on the surface of granules of the starch, and includes 1 to 20 percent by weight of citrate and/or citric acid relative to the starch. A method of treating postoperative adhesions by administering the topical medication for reducing postoperative adhesions to a postoperative adhesion of a subject, and a use of the topical medication.

    摘要: The invention provides barley grain comprising a reduced level or activity of starch synthase IIa protein and a starch content of at least 41% (w/w) and methods of producing, identifying and using same. The grain may comprise an amylase content of at least 50%, a β-glucan content of 5-9% (w/w) or greater than 9% (w/w), and/or a fructan content of 3-11% (w/w). The fructan may comprise a degree of polymerization from about 3 to about 12. For example, the plant and grain comprises a sex6-292 allele and/or an amo1 mutation. A food or beverage product, and methods of producing a food or beverage product, comprising obtaining or producing the subject grain and processing the grain to produce the product. Also contemplated are methods of improving one or more indicators of health in a mammal comprising administering a composition comprising the subject barley grain or a product comprising same.

    摘要: Disclosed is a preparation method of a starch-based hemostatic powder, comprising the following steps: (1) starch modification; (2) emulsification and crosslinking; (3) separation, purification, drying and sterilization. Provided is a starch-based hemostatic powder, which has a simple preparation process and a controllable cost. After being modified, raw material medical potato starch has a high degree of emulsification and crosslinking and a good and uniform spherical shape, and has a porous structure. Moreover, the product has good biocompatibility, low biological cytotoxicity, and obvious antibacterial effect; the product has a high liquid absorption ratio, and quickly forms a gel to cover the wound surface after liquid absorption, thus achieving a good hemostatic effect. The starch-based hemostatic powder is an excellent biomedical product, and can be used for clinical wound treatment, surgery to prevent organ adhesion, and bleeding from various wounds.

    摘要: The invention relates to systems and methods for making intracycle adjustments to an osmotic agent concentration of peritoneal dialysate inside the peritoneal cavity of a patient. The systems and methods include osmotic agent sources, flow paths, and processors to adjust the osmotic agent concentration of dialysate in the peritoneal cavity of the patient. The method can include infusing peritoneal dialysate containing an osmotic agent into the peritoneal cavity of a patient; monitoring one or more patient parameters; and adjusting the osmotic agent concentration of the peritoneal dialysate in the peritoneal cavity of the patient by infusing a concentrated osmotic agent solution or by infusing sterile fluid into the peritoneal cavity of the patient using an on-line peritoneal dialysis machine. The system can include a peritoneal dialysis cycler.
