This invention relates to a nicotine chewing gum that provides immediate nicotine release and uptake, as well as prolonged nicotine release and uptake, and also to describing suitable manufacturing processes for such chewing gum formulations and the use of the chewing gum for the treatment of a human suffering from cravings due to tobacco dependence and / or electronic cigarette dependence.

A refuse container to hold pieces of used chewing gum includes a receptacle, a top cover, a bottom cover, a roller, and a strip. The receptacle includes a perimeter wall. The perimeter wall includes a top edge portion positioned about a top opening and a bottom edge portion positioned about a bottom opening. The top cover is pivotably coupled to the receptacle at the top edge portion. The bottom cover is pivotably coupled to the receptacle at the bottom edge portion. The bottom cover is openable and closable to permit access to pieces of used chewing gum in the receptacle. The roller is rotatably mounted inside the top cover. The strip is wound about the roller. The strip includes a plurality of sheets. Each of the sheets is designed to be unwound and selectively detached from the strip to receive and enclose a piece of used chewing gum.

This invention belongs to the field of biomaterials technology, specifically an antibacterial magnesium and strontium-reinforced bioactive glass ceramic and its applications. Its composition, by weight percentage, is as follows: SiO2: 30-50; P2O5: 5-20; CaO: 10-35; Na2O: 10-20; SrO: 5-20; MgO: 2-10; ZnO: 5-15; B2O3: 0-10; K2O: 3-10; CuO: 0.05-5; F: 1.5-5; Ag: 0.05-0.9. It possesses good biocompatibility, is non-toxic and harmless to the human body, and effectively inhibits and kills bacteria. It can be used as a special additive in oral care products such as toothpaste, mouthwash, tooth powder, tooth gel, and chewing gum, promoting tooth surface mineralization and reducing dentin hypersensitivity during the teeth cleaning process.

This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine chewing gum technology, and in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine chewing gum based on the brain-gut axis synergy and its preparation method. A traditional Chinese medicine chewing gum based on the brain-gut axis synergy comprises the following components by weight: 30-40 parts chewing gum base; 15-25 parts excipient matrix; and 40-50 parts traditional Chinese medicine matrix. The traditional Chinese medicine matrix comprises the following components by weight: 1.0-1.2 parts of Citrus aurantium; 1.0-1.2 parts of Magnolia officinalis; 1.5-2.0 parts of Poria cocos; 1.5-2.0 parts of Atractylodes macrocephala; 1.0-1.2 parts of Citrus reticulata peel; 1.5-2.0 parts of malt; 1.0-1.5 parts of Dioscorea opposita; and 0.5-0.8 parts of Aucklandia lappa. This application constructs the core dosage form architecture of traditional Chinese medicine chewable gum, which is designed to target the core pathogenesis of spleen and stomach weakness and qi stagnation and dampness obstruction after gynecological surgery. It follows the principle of combining attack and tonification, which can not only promote qi and clear the bowels to solve the core symptoms after surgery, but also strengthen the spleen and consolidate the foundation to meet the physical condition of patients with deficiency after surgery. The three work together to construct a complete material system for brain-gut axis synergistic treatment, realizing the synchronous initiation of physiological stimulation and pharmacological treatment in the same behavior and in the same space.

A refuse container to hold pieces of used chewing gum includes a receptacle, a top cover, a bottom cover, and a bag. The top cover is pivotable to cover and uncover a top opening. A ring is detachably coupled around the top opening. A tube is coupled to the ring and extends along the ring. The bag is sleeve-shaped and includes a stored portion that is rolled up inside the tube and a closed bottom portion extending out through a slot in the tube and across the top opening. The bottom cover is pivotable to cover and uncover a bottom opening. The bottom cover includes an anchor connectable to the closed bottom portion. The anchor is rotatable to twist the bag about a piece of used chewing gum deposited on the bag and also draw and unroll an additional portion of the bag further out of the tube.

This invention discloses an enantioselective imine reductase mutant and its application in the production of S-arecoline, belonging to the field of enzyme engineering technology. The imine reductase mutant is obtained by single- or multi-point mutation of the substrate-binding pocket key amino acid site of wild-type imine reductase derived from *Pseudomonas* sp. RC4D1. This mutant can efficiently catalyze the asymmetric reduction of pseudo-arecoline, maintaining high enzyme activity while increasing the optical purity of the product S-arecoline to 99.9%. Combined with a glucose dehydrogenase coenzyme cycle system, it significantly reduces production costs. The reaction conditions are mild and environmentally friendly, enabling the industrial-scale production of S-arecoline and providing a high-purity raw material for fiber-free areca chewing gum.
