A traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating cardiovascular disease, and a preparation thereof, particularly a micro drop pill preparation thereof, and a method for preparing the preparation; the method for preparing the micro drop pill preparation can be used to prepare drop pills, coated drop pills, and drop pill capsules with a high drug loading capacity.

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing spray-dried powders. During the process, a solvent is used. The process is done batchwise such that the emulsification mass ratio is low when removal of the solvent is started. Preferred solvents are isopropyl acetate and ethyl acetate. The invention also relates to a set-up to run the inventive process at industrial scale.

Pharmaceutical or food supplement preparation including alpha-lactalbumin and at least one short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) or a precursor or derivative thereof for use in the treatment of disorders of the central nervous system; the SCFA or its precursor or derivative may be contained in at least one first dosage unit together with a carrier acceptable from the pharmaceutical or food standpoint and the alpha-lactalbumin in at least one second dosage unit together with a carrier acceptable from the pharmaceutical or food standpoint, and said dosage units may be distinct units intended for simultaneous or separate administration or the preparation may consist of a pharmaceutical or food supplement composition comprising the at least one short-chain fatty acid or a precursor or derivative thereof and alpha-lactalbumin together with a carrier acceptable from the pharmaceutical or food standpoint.

The present invention provides a solid composition comprising nanoparticles comprising at least one water-insoluble active and at least one oil, dispersed within a water-soluble mixture of at least one hydrophilic polymer and at least one surfactant. Process for preparing such solid compositions and aqueous dispersions of such compositions are also provided.

Described are silk fibroin nanoparticles encapsulating oxygen carriers and compositions containing silk fibroin nanoparticles encapsulating oxygen carriers. Also described are methods of using the silk fibroin nanoparticles encapsulating oxygen carriers as artificial blood substitutes.

The present application is directed to composition comprising various maca extracts and the use of such compositions for treating certain diseases, disorders, and conditions.

The present invention relates to compositions comprising thymol and at least one amino acid for use in the preventive and/or curative treatment of inflammatory or functional diseases or symptoms of the intestinal tract by modulating the receptors and/or enzymes of the endocannabinoid system in mammalian or non-mammalian monogastric subjects, such as human subjects, pigs, poultry animals, fish or crustaceans.

Provided is a method of encapsulation, the method including: providing a first mixture, the first mixture including: a first carrier; and a first active ingredient; applying heat to the first mixture until the first mixture reaches a first temperature; providing a second mixture, the second mixture including: a second carrier; and a first emulsifying agent; applying heat to the second mixture until the second mixture reaches a second temperature; mixing the first mixture with the second mixture to obtain a third mixture, wherein: the mixing is performed at a third temperature; and the third temperature is lower than the first temperature; and cooling the third mixture until the third mixture reaches a fourth temperature, wherein: the second carrier is in solid state at the fourth temperature.
