The present disclosure relates to a film for oral hemostasis and wound protection and, more particularly, to a film for oral hemostasis and wound protection which, being attached to a wound area in an oral cavity, delays or prevents microbleeds and controls medicinal component release. The film provided by the present disclosure is capable of including a polyol, an alcohol and a biodegradable polymer in the state of partial swelling, thereby locally absorbing blood or pus or arresting hemorrhage. Moreover, due to its high elongation ratio, the film provided by the present disclosure is capable of maintaining its adhesive force even when having blood, saliva and pus absorbed inside an oral cavity and conveniently deforming according to the shape of a seriously corrugated local area, which causes only slight foreign body sensation even after a long period of time of attachment on to the local area. In addition, the film provided by the present disclosure includes a disintegrant which is dissolved and released by reacting with blood to form microchannels that act as paths for drug release and is capable of adjusting the amount and the size of the microchannels, thereby controlling the amount of drug release. The present disclosure doesn't require a patient to detach the film attached inside an oral cavity by hand because the adhesive layer and the backing layer dissolve entirely over time.

The present methods treat neurofibromatosis by administering to a subject perillyl alcohol or iso-perillyl alcohol The present methods also treat neurofibromatosis by administering to a subject a carbamate of perillyl alcohol, or a carbamate of iso-perillyl alcohol The perillyl alcohol carbamate may comprise perillyl alcohol conjugated with rolipram or temozolomide.

An antimicrobial medical dressing provides a combination of antimicrobial agents in various concentrations that protect against microorganisms, absorb exudates, and promote healing. The antimicrobial agents may include compositions of ethanol, hydrogen peroxide, and/or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid.

This invention relates to a biological oil composition, preferably obtained from a copepod, most preferably the copepod Calanus finmarchicus and the use thereof to prevent or treat formation of atherosclerotic plaques and hence development of coronary heart disease. The composition comprises the same marine n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) generally regarded as being responsible for the anti-atherosclerotic effect of marine oils, namely EPA (C20:5n-3 eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (C22:6n-3 docosahexaenoic acid). However, quite unexpectedly, it has been found that the oil composition of the present invention has a remarkably higher ability to prevent formation of atherosclerotic plaques than what can be attributed to EPA and DHA alone, and moreover, unlike EPA and DHA alone it has a notable blood cholesterol lowering effect.
