DRUG CONTAINING CATIONIZED CHITOSAN
A task of the invention is to provide an art that inhibits the hemorrhagic activity exhibited by sulfated glycosaminoglycans, as well as a material, a medical material, and a drug that use a sulfated glycosaminoglycan while being free of the hemorrhaging problems caused by sulfated glycosaminoglycans and that can exhibit an excellent therapeutic effect on biological tissues. The present invention relates to an inhibitor of the hemorrhagic activity originating from sulfated glycosaminoglycans, the inhibitor having a cationized chitosan as an active ingredient.
Medical adhesives for stopping heavy bleeding and sealing leakages
The present invention relates to a method that includes providing a formulation having an isocyanate-functional prepolymer and a curing component comprising an amino-functional aspartic ester of the general formula (I) ##STR00001##
applying the formulation to a cell tissue; and curing the formulation such that the loss of blood (haemostatic) or tissue fluids is staunched or leaks in cell tissues are sealed.

METHOD AND APPARATUS TO CONTROL THE HETEROGENEOUS FLOW OF BONE CEMENT AND IMPROVE OSSEOINTEGRATION OF CEMENTED IMPLANT
The present invention provides processes for combined applications of making grooves on an implant surface, applying MgO nanoparticles with PMMA cement, restricting the cement movement by PCL nanofiber and tethering biomolecules with PCL nanofiber to enhance mechanical stability and osseointegration of PMMA cement with bone. This is achieved through enhanced osteoconductive properties, roughness, and less viable fracture originating sites at the bone-cement interface. Such combined applications of nanoparticle and nanofiber on the mechanical stability and osseointegration of cemented implant is heretofore unknown, but as provided by the present invention can solve the debonding problem of cemented implant from bone.

System for use in bone cement preparation and delivery
A system for use in combining two part preparations, such as bone cement, can include a chamber for intermixing liquid and powder components, a container, a vacuum channel, and a filter. The mixing chamber can be configured to hold a non-liquid, polymer powder component of a bone cement. The container can be configured to hold a liquid component of the bone cement. The vacuum channel can direct a partial vacuum to draw the liquid component from the container into the non-liquid component in the mixing chamber to intermix the components and to thereby provide a settable bone cement.
