The present invention relates to by using humidifying composite to host mammal humidification such as mouth (mouth The chamber), epithelial composition and the method in the mucous membrane districts such as eye, vagina. Said composition is originally as containing Water composition, comprise the bioadhesive polymer of humidification effective dose and preferably include water-soluble or water dispersible poly-Close thickener. The difference of they and U.S. Patent number 4,615,697 and PCT/US89/00451 is it Lack the therapeutic agent that is different from such as the relative inertness liquid of water, and be mainly used in dry strip of tissue Part.
Bioadhesive polymer of the present invention is preferably water-insoluble but is water-swollen. Used herein The term water-insoluble meaning is that this bioadhesive polymer (lacking water-soluble impurity) is at its about pH 3～5 Acid form the time, under the concentration that is no more than about 2～3% weight, demonstrate do not have appreciable Viscosity. The term hydroexpansivity meaning is these goods, although be water-insoluble, what absorption can the amount of perceiveing Water is generally its about 60～100 times weight.
The design humidifying composite is used for epithelial cell, i.e. mammiferous skin and mucous membrane (mucous membrane), Such as horse or people's mucous membrane, in the presence of enough water gagings, said composition adheres on the mucous membrane with the life of expanding The thing adhesive. The composition that adheres to like this epithelium increases in the quite a long time and contacts The moisture of body part. This time is longer than the similar combination that does not comprise bioadhesive polymer disclosed herein The humidification time of thing. Really, for the humidification epithelial cell, this bioadhesive polymer can be 10～about 20 Hour, that is, maintain suitable position in the update time of mucous membrane or tissue to about 2～3 days time Put and keep active.
Useful composition is to being applied to wherein or animal on it is nontoxic basically in the present invention .
For time expand, method utilization maintenance of the present invention contacts with host mammal epithelium zone The hydrogel composition of a large amount of moisture content. This composition also serves as in addition polyelectrolye and restriction connects The ion of the mucous membrane that touches flows out. This ion with the water connection flows out and can cause water to flow out from tissue. This Outward, when being expanded by water-bearing media, this humidification bioadhesive polymer itself is exactly polyeletrolyte, and produces Give birth to the Donnan balance effect, cause promoting that ion flows into the tissue that contacts. Because cross-linked polymer is very big Bioadhesion and mucoadhesive properties, said composition keeps contacting with epithelial tissue the longer time.
Humidifying method of the present invention is for increasing " drying " tissue such as dry eyes, and dry skin is done Dry vagina, dry nasal meatus, the moisture in dry rectum road and dry oral cavity are effective.
According to this humidifying method,, contain the aqueous dispersion polymers thickening agent of the level and smooth amount of thickening by the aforementioned humidizer that contains water, humidification effective dose and preferred that provides.
In the presence of the enough water of expansion bioadhesive polymer, contact and make the compositions that contains bioadhesive polymer adhere to the zone that is contacted.If necessary, this contact is kept is enough to increase the epithelial cell that contacted and the time of adjacent tissue moisture.
The inventive method has reduced partial pH value.For example, the experimenter accepted the commercial vagina humidizer treatment of the present composition or other inanimate object adhesive agent every day after 5 days, in the women who accepts these two kinds of products, had noticed about 0.5 pH unit or more vagina pH value difference.Observe and use the woman vagina pH value of product of the present invention to be about 4.8, have the pH value that reduces than about value of being untreated of 5.6, kept after the treatment about 48 hours.
Common yeast, fungus and other microorganism that causes vaginal infection can not be grown well at pH 5 or when lower.Therefore, aforesaid humidifying method also provides the method that suppresses vagina yeast and fungal infection.
Every kind of compositions hereinafter described can be used according to this method.
Compositions of the present invention can be used to provide epithelial cell to contact with necessity between the compositions by some instruments.For example, can use said composition by said composition being clipped the zone for the treatment of humidification.Said composition can be used by aerosol apparatus, hands, tweezers, thromboembolism, plunger, irrigator or other suitable instrument.Contact conjunctival epithelium if desired, Aquo-composition hereinafter described can be splashed at the moment in the bag of angle.Contact the oral cavity if desired, nose, anus and/or vagina epithelium can be used by aerosol apparatus, hands, tweezers, thromboembolism, irrigator or other suitable instrument.
Compositions is put in position (keeping in touch) sufficiently long time so that the humidification in the zone of (treatment) that contacts is taken place and therefore provide its cosmetic effect to mammal.In most applications, the compositions of using is by the physical mechanism of nature, as the dispersion that causes by mechanicalness or corrosion or by aqueous body fluids such as vaginal secretions, or removes from health by flushing.The compositions that contains bioadhesive polymer humidification polymer also can be by the mechanism in the contact site, as losing by the tongue effect in epibulbar eyelid or the oral cavity.For mucosa, bioadhesive polymer humidification polymer adhere to the mucin of coverlay or film originally on one's body.Mucin is in about 10～20 hours, and per approximately usually 17 hours with regard to replaced (renewal), and adherent bioadhesive polymer humidification polymer can be lost with mucin.
The main component of humidifying composite of the present invention is the bioadhesive polymer polymer.
Active humidizer comprises bioadhesive polymer polymer, water and preferably includes the water-dispersion type thickening agent.Can there be adjuvant or diluent, and become known for other composition in the humidifying composite.
This bioadhesive polymer polymer comprises hydroexpansivity but is water-fast, the crosslinked carboxyl functional polymer of graininess or fibrous and the bioadhesive that shows hereinafter to be discussed.This polymer preferably contains (a) and contains at least one carboxyl functional group and (b) about 0.01%～6% at least about many recurring units of 80%, preferred about 0.01%～2%, more preferably from about 0.05%～1.5% cross-linking agent and essentially no polyalkenyl polyethers, percentage ratio are respectively according to the weight of unpolymerized recurring unit and cross-linking agent.Preferably, contain at least one carboxyl functional group, more preferably contain at least one carboxyl functional group at least about 95% recurring unit at least about 90% recurring unit.In great majority were preferably put into practice, this bioadhesive polymer contained the polymeric cross-linker of 0.05%～2% weight of having an appointment equally.
Bioadhesive polymer can be broadly defined as the material that adheres on biological surface alive or that newly kill such as mucosa or the skin histology." bioadhesive polymer " that this paper is used to define useful bioadhesive polymer humidification polymer is by at U.S. Patent number 4,615, method hereinafter described among 697 embodiment 2 is analyzed, and this method is measured and separated the rabbit gastric tissue necessary forces that adheres to 2 layers of new excision together by adhesive agent.
According to the method for embodiment 2, with the method in the U.S. Patent number 4,615,697, bioadhesive polymer may be defined as need be at least about 50 dyne/cm 2Active force with the material of the rabbit gastric tissue that separates 2 adhesions, new excision.More preferably be that this active force is at least about 380 dyne/cm 2Observed mean effort to polycarbophil is about 1073 dyne/cm 2The rabbit gastric tissue necessary forces upper limit of also not knowing to separate new excision at present, but it is believed that at least about 2000 dyne/cm 2
As previously mentioned, in order in insoluble polymer, to reach the hydroexpansivity amount of aequum, preferably contain at least one carboxyl functional group at least about the recurring unit of 80% preferred bioadhesive polymer.Provide the monomer of these recurring units to comprise undersaturated monoene and comprise acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, Fumaric acid, maleic acid, maleic anhydride that in polymerization process or afterwards hydrolyzable becomes its acid form, methylene succinic acid .beta.-methylacrylic acid etc.In these acid each can use separately or with other the acid of this class with one or more these sour medicine on or make up and go up acceptable salt and unite use.Acrylic acid is particularly preferredly to be used to provide the bioadhesive polymer polymer to contain the monomer of carboxyl recurring unit.
Being used for preferred bioadhesive polymer polymer of the present invention comes crosslinked by cross-linking agent known in the art.The preferred essentially no polyalkenyl polyethers of cross-linking agent, and especially preferably do not have the polyalkenyl polyethers, be present in CARBOPOL as report On average contain the polypropylene-base sucrose or the polypropylene-base tetramethylolmethane of 3 acrylic of per molecule at least in 934.Useful cross-linking agent example has divinylbenzene, N, N-diallyl acrylamide, 3,4-dihydroxy-1,5-hexadiene, 2,5-dimethyl-1,5 hexadiene etc.
The crosslinked amount of bioadhesive polymer also has certain importance.When the suitable crosslinking agent less than about 0.05% weight existed, this bioadhesive polymer became water solublity or water dispersible easily, thereby lost it to the important required water-insoluble of the present invention, hydroexpansivity feature.For the hexadiene cross-linking agent of divinylbenzene or dihydroxy or dimethyl replacement, according to the difference of polymer, when existing greater than about 1% or 2% cross-linking agent, the water swelliong power of bioadhesive polymer begins to occur appreciable decline.Preferably, this cross-linking agent exists with about 0.05%～1% or 2%.Yet preferred range will change with the character of polymer, the character of cross-linking agent and crosslinked degree especially.The amount of cross-linking agent refers to the percent of those precursors, unconverted monomer in the polymeric reactant mixture of bioadhesive polymer.
Therefore, bioadhesive polymer polymer used herein can partly be defined as the copolymerization product at least about the no polyalkenyl polyether crosslinking agent of the unsaturated monoene carboxyl-functional monomer of 80% weight and about 0.01%～2.0% weight.Can exist to constitute monomeric other monomer of 100% weight and be described below.
Except 2 kinds of top compositions, this bioadhesive polymer polymer also can comprise the C of polymeric unsaturated monoene recurring unit such as one or more above-mentioned acid 1-C 6The alkane ester is as ethylhexyl acrylate, butyl isobutene. ester and methylcrotonic acid ester; Average per molecule contains the hydroxyl alkenyl-sense ester such as the hydroxyethyl methacrylic ester of the above-mentioned acid that contains 2～3 carbon atom oxygen alkenyls of having an appointment 1～4, hydroxypropyl acrylate and 5 tetrem allyl diglycol mono acrylic esters; MAAm, acrylamide and their C 1-C 4Single-and two-alkyl derivative such as N methacrylamide, N-butyl MAAm and N,N-DMAA; Styrene; Deng, they are known in this area, can with above-mentioned monomer and the cross-linking agent combined polymerization that contains carboxyl functional group.The bioadhesive polymer polymer most preferably only never prepares in saturated mono thiazolinyl carboxyl functional group monomer and the cross-linking agent.
Bioadhesive polymer polymer used herein can be prepared by the described conventional polymerization technique of document.Hereinafter provide usefulness bioadhesive polymer the illustrative goods and also can be at U.S. Patent number 2,810,716 and the patent No. 3,202,577 in find.
Polymer of the present invention also can be prepared described in the European Patent Application No. 88112198.2 that was disclosed as 0 301 532 A2 on February 1st, 1989.According to its description, in the presence of suitable free radical starting material in 45-65 ℃ and pressure more than the mixture critical point, as under 45 ℃ of about 1250 pound per square inches, acrylic acid and cross-linking agent being reacted in as the carbon dioxide of solvent so that meticulous, fluffy polymer to be provided.
Bioadhesive polymer used herein is a graininess or fibrous, is inflatable and insoluble in water.The characteristic that claims bioadhesive polymer polymer of the present invention is for being that inflatable and insoluble this polymer that means can absorb the moisture of 1～100 times of its weight of general pact but makes for fully insoluble that concentration with 0.2% weight provides measurable viscosity in pH6.5 water in water in water.
Bioadhesive polymer polymer of the present invention is expandable in water, that is, when water exists this polymer beads absorb moisture and therefore volume become bigger.Be used for that this expansible moisture is generally provided by Aquo-composition of the present invention or it can be partly be provided by the health of treatment animal, rising or the secretion as percutaneous moisture content, by the mucosa transpiration in the secretion process, as the secretion of saliva or vaginal mucus, or the secretion by tear in the eyes.Yet thereby the body exudates of having noticed the latter does not generally exist or have the demand that causes this compositions with less relatively amount.
The particulate size of bioadhesive polymer has influence to compositions of the present invention.Obviously this bioadhesive polymer granule should consequently just can not used said composition without too many difficulty too greatly.Similarly, when being applied to eye, oral cavity or vagina, cause pain and stimulation sometimes greater than the following granule that size is discussed.As if in addition, on size, promptly on the longest one dimension, bigger granule is compared, improved function is provided for the humidizer compositions with the equirotal granule of discussing below.
In general, Zui Da useful organisms adhesive agent polymer size can be passed and be had 400 purpose sieves screenings (Unite States Standard molecular sieve system); I.e. 38 microns perforate.Preferably, thus this bioadhesive polymer polymer beads is littler to make the longest one dimension be about 20 microns.Most preferably, the longest one dimension of this granule has about 2～5 microns mean size.For example, by grinding, pulverize or otherwise the granule pulverizing larger particles and can obtain required size by direct polymerization.
Compare with having quite large-sized granule, have quite undersized granule per unit weight and have bigger surface area, expand faster and show better adhesion.For convenience, be stranded in 40 order molecular sieves (Unite States Standard molecular sieve series) with passing 30 order molecular sieves screenings, i.e. the bioadhesive polymer of the 30/40 order size bioadhesion measurement carrying out the front and hereinafter discussed among the embodiment 2.
Find that bioadhesion is not the function of bioadhesive polymer molecular weight.Therefore, as long as the adhesive attraction in its described hereinafter adhesion test is at least about 50 dyne/cm 2And preferred about 380 dyne/cm 2, then this bioadhesive polymer can have any molecular weight basically.
As previously mentioned, bioadhesive polymer can prepare by polymerization in water-bearing media.In preferred practice, water-bearing media is the saturated solution of alkali salt such as magnesium sulfate.Alkali salt has at least 2 kinds of functions.At first, thus its density that increases polymerisation medium makes polymeric bioadhesive polymer swim in the water-bearing media surface and can easily therefrom remove.The second, thereby especially having reduced the expansion of bioadhesive polymer in water-bearing media, the use of magnesium sulfate helps polymerization and recovery.
Behind some water flushing polymer like this bioadhesive polymer of preparation generally contain 0.5%～1% the alkaline-earth metal ions of having an appointment.Therefore these polymer are different from that alkaline earth metal hydroxide wherein is used for calcium or magnesium polycarbophil and those polymer of carboxyl.
Commercial available particularly preferred bioadhesive polymer has by Richmond, the material of the polycarbophil by name that the A.H.Robins company of Virginia sells and also this paper discuss by Cleveland, the B.F.Goodrich chemical company of Ohio, CARBOPOL 934 manufacturer sells is also referred to as CARBOPOL 976 CARBOPOL " EX55 ".American Pharmacopeia (U.S.P) was compiled in 1980, the American Pharmacopeia conference, Inc., Rockville, Maryland, illustrated that in 638 pages polycarbophil is and the crosslinked polyacrylic acid of divinyl ethylene glycol, its combustion residue and absorbing power that has less than 4.0% is its about 60 times original weight of absorption in test B.The U.S.P.1985 version is only listed the WL-140 that contains 18-22% calcium and is different from the material described in the version in 1980.
The material of " EX55 " by name of above-mentioned B.F.Goodrich company has about 1.4 proportion and absorption (absorbing and absorption) about 60～100 times water of its weight.This absorption value is similar to natural mucinous absorbability.On the contrary, it is reported CARBOPOL 934 absorb the moisture of hundreds of times of its weight.Useful bioadhesive polymer also is that charge density is similar to mucinous multi-anion copolymer.
Measure the density of the useful bioadhesive polymer of the present invention, it is generally about 1.30～1.70 gram/cubic centimetres (g/cc), or about 1.30～1.70 proportion.As shown in the table, find that crosslinked percent has less influence to the density of the synthetic polymer of the illustrative of gained.In 11 hurdles of this table, also shown U.S. Patent number 4,615,917 content.
The bioadhesive polymer humidizer provides the amount of the humidification of required time to be present in the present composition with the individuality that is enough to need are used the present composition, and such amount this paper is called " effectively amount of humidification ".As everyone knows, the effective dose of reagent is along with used concrete reagent, the symptom of being treated with contain speed that this combination of agents thing gets rid of and change with its used animal from health.Therefore, the effective dose of humidizer can not limit every kind of reagent.
Therefore, effectively amount of humidification for humidizer that q.s is provided in the present composition so that the amount to the required humidification of the body of mammals required time of being treated to be provided.Therefore effective dose also may be defined as amount of humidification.
The humidifying composite that is designed for the inventive method is to provide the bioadhesive polymer of about 0.25～15 gram (g) of per 100 milliliters of compositionss (about 0.25～15% weight).More preferably, the bioadhesive polymer polymer exists with about 2～5 grams (about 2～5% weight) in per 100 milliliters of compositionss.
The moisture of humidification can be provided by compositions or the epithelium that is contacted or both.Therefore, the bioadhesive polymer humidizer can be before use disperses in water-bearing media or pre-the expansion, or dry and anhydrous use or be scattered in and contain enough moisture to use in the particulate carrier of partially hydrated bioadhesive polymer humidizer.
Except water and above-mentioned bioadhesive polymer polymer, the present composition preferably contains the thickening agent of the level and smooth amount of thickening, and the latter is water solublity or aqueous dispersion polymers.
Even thereby thickening agent used herein has enough water solublity or a small amount of viscosity that also can change Aquo-composition substantially of aqueous dispersion ability.Such material can show the bioadhesion effect, but because its solubility or dispersibility in water-bearing media, they tend to lose from compositions quickly and thereby can not provide the humidification effect of the long duration that is provided by aforementioned bioadhesive polymer polymer.
In order to be easy to express, thickening agent generally will refer to water dispersible property in this article.
No matter thickening agent disperses or real dissolving, in deionized water or distilled water forming single phases in 20 ℃ under the compositions naked eyes that reach about 10% this thickening agent that exists, and in case form, when when keeping 24 hours for 20 ℃, still not occurring separating.When thickening agent is when acid, the cation such as sodium, potassium and the ammonium ion that are used for dispersing or dissolving consistency modifiers also can be present in compositions.
The example of thickening agent comprises that anion (containing carboxyl) and non-ionic polymers are as the polymer that contains a plurality of carboxyls with contain a plurality of C 2-C 3The polymer of hydroxyalkyl.Particularly preferred thickening polymer reagent comprises that carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hetastarch derivant, hydroxyethyl-cellulose, natural gum are as tragacanth, hydroxy ethyl methacrylate or methacrylate, polyacrylamide and lightly crosslinked acrylic acid polymer, as preferred especially above-mentioned CARBOPOL 934.It is reported CARBOPOL 934 is the polymerizing acrylic acid thing, and it is crosslinked that acrylic acid and per molecule on average contain the polypropylene sucrose (polyalkenyl sucrose) of at least 3 acrylic.Therefore the preferred thickening polymer is regarded as deutero-polysaccharide and polyacrylic acid; Be amide and hydroxyl ethyl ester.Other thickening polymer reagent comprises polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol and polyethylene glycol oxide.
The effect of thickening agent in compositions as herein described is as its title hinted; Promptly increase the denseness of compositions.This potentiation shows 2 aspects: viscosity and quality.
As setting forth, thickening agent used herein is that more a spot of this material water dispersible and relative can increase the viscosity of Aquo-composition greatly or make its retrogradation.Because bioadhesive polymer is only given the viscosity of the quite faint control of Aquo-composition and is set up effect, may be too rare and too soft or too hard for specific purpose such as vagina product so only contain the compositions of bioadhesive polymer humidification polymerization agent.
When mixing with following amount and condition, bioadhesive polymer humidification polymer and thickening polymer are united the moisture humidifying composite that suitable thickening is provided.
The quality ratio of the thickener composition that a beyond thought especially effect of useful bioadhesive polymer humidification polymer and thickening polymer reagent mix is a gained becomes more satiny when using bioadhesive polymer humidification polymer separately.Therefore, the aqueous polymers that only contains bioadhesive polymer humidification polymer may show rigidity and the sensation as the grit almost, so it may be uncomfortable in the vagina product, particularly in the sexual intercourse process.
On the other hand, thus the existence of thickening polymer reagent unexpectedly makes aqueous polymers that more satiny its that become do not show rigidity or grittiness basically.The satiny of quality also provides better lubricity to compositions.
The use of a thickening polymer amount of reagent can provide required thickening and increase soapy feeling.Therefore, using this amount of substance to be described as thickening smoothly measures.Thickening agent can be single polymer or those mixture of polymers as described above.
Thickening polymer reagent exists with the level and smooth amount of thickening, and it preferably provides tremelloid viscosity with the composition that other can be present in the Aquo-composition, and the viscosity when recording 25 ℃ of this products by embodiment 6 is described is about 4,000～40,000cps.As hereinafter going through, composition viscosity is the function of several variablees, and each variable can change with change or keep required viscosity.
Typical compositions can contain the thickening polymer of 0.25～10 percent by weight of having an appointment.What more particularly use is about 0.5～5 percent by weight.
Relatively large thickening agent generally uses with the bioadhesive polymer polymer than a small amount of, and vice versa.For example, contain the CARBOPOL of 0.25 percent by weight polycarbophil as about 8～10 percent by weight of pH value 2.2-2.5 compositions needs of bioadhesive polymer 934 to reach the viscosity that is suitable for machinery placement in vagina.
The moisture of humidification can be provided jointly by compositions or the epithelial cell that is contacted or both, although in general provide moisture content by compositions.Therefore, bioadhesive polymer humidizer and preferred this thickening agent can mix in water-bearing media and pre-the expansion before use, or can mix in the aqueous carrier of partially hydrated bioadhesive polymer humidizer granule and thickening agent and use containing enough moisture.
Useful Aquo-composition can have the room temperature viscosity of dumpable hardly liquid to gel, the latter is preferred, its viscosity is relative quantity, the osmotic pressure of formed compositions and the function of pH value of water, bioadhesive polymer humidification polymer, thickening polymer reagent (when existing).Quite a spot of polymer produces rarer compositions relatively than more substantial polymer in the water of specified rate, and wherein pH value is kept stable under 2 kinds of concentration.
The pK of useful bioadhesive polymer humidification polymer aBe about 3～4.As a result, if the pH value of compositions is about 5～6 or higher, all basically acid protons are neutralized and the compositions table that contains polymer reveals the most heavy-gravity viscosity under this concentration.On the other hand, be as 2 at pH value, be lower than polymer pK aDuring value, for given concentration, said composition is rarer relatively.
The thickening agent such as the particularly preferred CARBOPOL that contain carboxylic acid 934 pK aValue is similar to the pK of bioadhesive polymer polymer aValue.As a result, when keeping constant, be about 5 or use compositions that the most heavy-gravity compositions is provided when higher, provide the rarest compositions and be about 2 o'clock use at pH value at pH value for the thickening agent of given concentration and all other compositions.Non--ionic thickening agent is littler than anionic species viscosity and viscosity-modifying of compositions to them in the pH value scope.
In addition, the permeability of compositions also works in the viscosity of compositions.In general, keep when constant when bioadhesive polymer polymer, thickening polymer reagent (when existing), water and pH value, higher solute concentration reduces the viscosity of compositions.Therefore, by increasing the permeability of compositions, the foregoing viscosity that has greater than 5 pH value can be reduced to dumpable liquid from strong gel.
Deng oozing the permeability that product has about 280～320 mOsM, and this permeability is useful in this article.The permeability of humidifying composite may be up to 450～500 mOsM.
Pharmaceutically acceptable electrolyte and non-electrolyte (being referred to as solute) are used to regulate the permeability and the viscosity of useful composition.The pharmaceutically acceptable electrolyte of illustrative comprises sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, sodium sulfate and potassium, sodium bicarbonate and potassium.The pharmaceutically acceptable non-electrolyte of illustrative comprises that glycerol, sugar are as dextrose plus saccharose, Sorbitol and carbamide.Therefore, those solutes that are used to regulate Morie osmolarity or Osmolality as everyone knows are useful at this paper.
The permeability of given compositions is to press meter and the measured value of acquisition with gas-phase permeation.
Therefore, carboxylic thickening polymer reagent is in the compositions that comprises bioadhesive polymer humidification polymer or be about 5 or demonstrate more gel sample characteristic when higher near aforementioned upper limit of concentration and at pH value having or do not have.Yet this compositions can the form with drop be extruded from the eyes dropper, particularly when existing enough electrolyte or other solute to increase to permeability near about 450 mOsM.On the contrary, unless there is a large amount of bioadhesive polymer polymer, generally show as dumpable hardly liquid otherwise be in or be lower than about 3 compositions near aforementioned concentration limit and pH value.
In concrete example, the compositions that is used for the vagina humidification can show about 4,000～40 at 25 ℃, the viscosity of 000cps, and that the compositions that is used for the oral cavity humidification shows at 25 ℃ is about 1～4, the viscosity of 000cps.More heavy-gravity compositions generally shows non-Newtonian fluid (non-Newtonian flow) feature.Therefore the viscosity of this solution is to measure in particular for the viscometer of said composition design.The viscosity that is used for viscosity measurement of this paper discussion is counted commercial available Haake ROTOVISCO RV-12 type, and can be from Haake, Inc., and 244 Saddle Brook Road, Saddle Brook, New Jersey07662 obtains.When using SV cup and SVII rotor to be used for changeing the shear rate of (rpm) and 25 ℃ with per minute 1-8, measures by this machine viscosity with centipoise (cps) expression.
After remembeing these viscosity limit, the technical staff can easily prepare the humidifying composite with required viscosity.Contact with epithelial tissue in case it is also to be understood that compositions, owing to use the local pH value factor in the zone of compositions, the pH value of humidifying composite can change.

For example, about 0.025～1.0mg/cm 2The humidification polymer be used for (about 25～50 microlitres contain the compositions of about 1～3 percent by weight polymer) humidifying composite of eyes, and about 10～50mg/cm 2The humidification polymer be used for humidification skin.
For using of oral cavity, nasal cavity, rectum and vagina epithelium, more convenient with reference to the amount of the bioadhesive polymer humidification polymer of using with regard to the gross weight of using polymer.Therefore, for oral epithelium, use the compositions that contains about 0.25～5 percent by weight bioadhesive polymer humidification polymer.Particularly for vagina epithelium, the amount of compositions is the compositions that contains about 1～5 gram of 0.25～3 percent by weight bioadhesive polymer polymer of having an appointment.The latter's amount surpasses and to be used for the required amount of humidification, but the amount that surpasses lubricated in the sexual intercourse process is provided is useful.So, in a broad sense, fluid composition contains the bioadhesive polymer polymer or the humidizer of 0.25～5 percent by weight of having an appointment.
