Hemostatic agents and devices are made from oxidized cellulose fiber, the oxidized cellulose having a carboxylation content increased by the action of nitrogen dioxide on virgin cellulose fiber. A composition may be incorporated into the oxidized cellulose fiber to cause a pharmacological effect on a wound to which the hemostatic agents and devices are applied. When applied, the oxidized cellulose fiber causes blood emanating from the wound to clot. The oxidized cellulose fiber can either be resorbed into the wound or removed from the wound after healing. A hemostatic bandage includes a pad of unwoven oxidized cellulose fibers mounted on a substrate. Methods of arresting a flow of blood emanating from a wound using such devices are also disclosed. Methods of fabricating oxidized cellulose are also disclosed.

A method of treating and reducing a drug dependency such as a nicotine dependency is provided. The method comprises initially administering to a subject a drug, such as nicotine or another agonist of the drug in an amount which would normally provide the desired pharmacologic effects and at least partially satiate the needs for the drug by a user. The method also comprises administering to the subject an antagonist to the drug or its other agonist in an amount sufficient to at least partially block the pharmacologic defects of the drug or its other agonist while there is a substantial amount of the drug or other agonist present in the system of the user. In one embodiment of the invention, the drug and the antagonist are administered substantially simultaneously so as to occupy a substantial portion of the receptors of the user for that drug thereby blocking or attenuating the effects of any further intake of the drug or other agonist. In another embodiment, the drug or its other agonist is first administered and the antagonist is self-administered by a subject in a manner which mimics the use of the drug thereby counter-conditioning the drug user to the stimuli associated with the normal administration of the drug. The invention further provides a method of therapeutically treating psychophysiologic diseases and disorders involving neuronal dysregulation. The method additionally provides a pharmacologic composition for the treatment and reduction of drug dependence and which relies upon a combination of an agonist and antagonist.

The invention discloses a poloxamer-carboxylic acid drug conjugate and a preparation method and application thereof. The conjugate is formed by directly linking the carboxyl of the carboxylic acid drug with the carboxyl of the poloxamer by the ester bond in the presence of a catalyst. The conjugate is the compound in the general formula (i) or (ii). Compared with the original carboxylic acid drugs, the conjugate has greatly improved drug solubility, enhanced pharmacological effects, reduced adverse reaction and higher safety. By utilizing the hydrophobic carboxylic acid drug, the conjugate can enhance the hydrophobicity of the poloxamer and greatly improve the amphipathy of the poloxamer, thus being capable of forming stable micellar structure under waterborne environment. As the drug carrier, the conjugate can complete further encapsulation of the drugs and can meet different release requirements by controlling the chemical grafted amount and the physical encapsulation amount or realize combined therapy of the drugs by physically embedding other pharmaceutically active drugs. The invention has simple preparation method, mature process and high yield and is suitable for industrialproduction.
