SUBSTANCE-CONTAINING VESICLE, AND PRODUCTION METHOD THEREFOR
Provided is a monodisperse agglomerate of a substance-containing vesicle filled with a substance at a concentration higher than conventionally possible. A mixed solution, in which a target substance is included in an aqueous medium, is mixed with a monodisperse agglomerate of a crosslinked vesicle comprising a prescribed polymer which includes a first polymer, i.e. a block copolymer having uncharged hydrophilic segments and first charged segments, and a second polymer having second charged segments carrying a charge opposite to that of the first charged segments, and in which the first polymer and/or the second polymer are/is crosslinked. As a result, the crosslinked vesicle is made to contain the target substance.

DRUG-LOADED IMPLANTED MEDICAL DEVICE AND PREPARATION METHOD THEREFOR
A drug-loaded implanted medical device (10) and a preparation method therefor. The drug-loaded implanted medical device (10) comprises a device body (100), a hydrophilic coating layer (200) loaded on the device body (100), and crystalline drug particles (300) loaded on the hydrophilic coating layer (200). The hydrophilic coating layer (200) comprises a graft polymer containing a photo-crosslinked group. The medical device (10) uses a hydrophilic coating layer (200) as a carrier, effectively avoiding the risk of embolism, encouraging the crystalline drug particles to fall off, and helping to achieve a target tissue concentration. The invention can also effectively increase the anchoring effect between the carrier and the device, and reduce toxicity.

Ionic composite material including lignin sulfonic acid and E-polylysine as components
There is provided a novel ionic composite material that can be molded into various shapes using lignin sulfonic acid as one of raw materials thereof, and having flexibility and elasticity, to significantly improve the strength and toughness and impart complete biodegradability thereto. It was found that a combination of ε-polylysine (ε-PL) which is a cationic polymer that is produced by microorganisms and lignin sulfonic acid exhibits excellent strength and toughness. In addition, ε-PL used in this technology is a biodegradable polymer that is completely degraded by microorganisms and the like in the environment. Since lignin sulfonic acid is also a biodegradable polymer, it is thought that a complex in which ε-PL and lignin sulfonic acid are mixed in this technology will exhibit complete biodegradability, and more applications thereof can be expected when utilizing the strength, durability, and biodegradability thereof in addition to the improved strength and toughness.
