Stimulant laxative in combination with an osmotic laxative produces safe and effective bowel and colon cleansing with a reduced volume of liquid input. Administering to a patient an oral stimulant laxative, such as bisacodyl, followed, after a biologically determined interval, by a reduced volume of a PEG in water solution cleanses the bowels and colon in preparation for diagnostic colonoscopy, without the profuse uncontrollable diarrhea that typically follows either ingestion of large volume isotonic lavages, or smaller volume hypertonic lavages.

A composition comprising, per litre of aqueous solution, from 30 to 350 g polyethylene glycol, from 3 to 20 g of an ascorbic acid component selected form the group consisting of ascorbic acid, a salt of ascorbic acid, or a mixture thereof, an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal sulphate, preferably from 1 to 15 g thereof, and optionally one or more electrolytes selected from sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and sodium hydrogen carbonate, and preferably also comprising flavourings, is effective in cleansing the gut in preparation for a endoscopy, especially colonoscopy. It is safer than conventional sodium phosphate-based gut cleansing compositions, and hence can be used for patients who would be at risk with sodium phosphate-based compositions, and is better tolerated than conventional PEG-based compositions, leading to better patient compliance and enabling effective out-patient use.

A composition and method for cleansing a colon prior to endoscopic procedure. More particularly, a combination of bisacodyl, metoclopramide, sodium, and / or a phosphorus containing composition administered in sequential doses for preparing a colon prior to colonoscopy.

This invention relates, e.g., to a composition comprising two or more of: (a) N-acetylcysteine and / or (b) simethicone and / or (c) a docusate salt. In one embodiment of the invention, the amounts of (a) and / or (b) and / or (c) are effective, when the composition is administered into a colon of a subject undergoing colonoscopy, to cleanse a region of the colon in the visual field of the colonoscope so that the region contains no adherent stool or intestinal secretions obscuring the visual field. Methods for using this or other compositions of the invention, e.g. to cleanse the colon of a subject in order to enhance visualization of the colon during a colonoscopy, are also described, as are kits for carrying out methods of the invention.

The present invention provides a highly palatable colon cleansing formulation that utilizes a low chloride electrolyte-replenishing base solution. When formulated with polyethylene glycol and a selected sugar alcohol, the formulation offers the advantages of superior palatability without undesirable concomitant side effects or a decrease in cleansing efficacy.

The pig intestine cleaning device comprises a four-leg support body, a cleaning area is arranged on the support body, sliding rods are arranged on two sides of the cleaning area, a penetrating rod seat is arranged above the cleaning area, an intestine fixing seat sleeves on an intestine penetrating rod, an adjusting motor I is arranged on one side of the cleaning area, a driving shaft of the adjusting motor is connected with a lead screw, a sliding seat is arranged on the lead screw, and a connecting seat is arranged on the sliding seat and connected with the cleaning seat through a connecting shaft. The pig intestine cleaning device has the advantages that pig intestines can be mostly and automatically cleaned, manpower and labor force are saved, working efficiency is improved, and production is facilitated.

A method for electronically cleansing a virtual object formed from acquired image data converted to a plurality of volume elements is provided. The present method allows individual volume elements, or voxels, to represent more than one material type. The method includes defining a partial volume image model for volume elements representing a plurality of material types based, at least in part, on the measured intensity value of the volume element. The material mixture for each of the volume elements representing a plurality of material types can be estimated using the observed intensity values and the defined partial volume image model. The volume elements representing a plurality of material types can then be classified in accordance with the estimated material mixture. For electronic colon cleansing, the method includes removing at least one classification of volume elements when displaying the virtual object.

The invention discloses a method for preparing colon-cleansing particles used before gynecological surgery and aims to solve the treatment problem before gynecological surgery. The method is characterized in that the colon-cleansing particles are prepared by the following active pharmaceutical ingredients: by weight proportion, horseweed herb, fructus cinnamomi, radix ranunculi ternati, Chinese starjasmine stem, herbof denseflower bulbophyllum, rhizoma polygonati, dipsacus roots, tangerine peel, sunflower flowers, turbo cornutus solander, amblystegium serpens and magnesium sulfate. The method includes the following steps: (1), extracting volatile oil from dipsacus roots, fructus cinnamomi and herbof denseflower bulbophyllum coarse powder for standby use; (2), smashing turbo cornutus solander and amblystegium serpens into fine powder for standby use; (3), adding water in horseweed herb, radix ranunculi ternati, Chinese starjasmine stem, rhizoma polygonati, sunflower flowers and tangerine peel for decoction twice, filtering, combining filtrate, concentrating the filtrate, adding ethanol for deposition, taking supernate, recycling ethanol and concentrating to obtain thick paste; (4), adding the volatile oil obtained in step 1 and the fine powder and magnesium sulfate obtained in step 2 in the thick paste obtained in step 3, uniformly stirring, forming particles, drying and obtaining the colon-cleansing particles. Clinical experiments show that the colon-cleansing particles have good colon-cleansing effect when used before gynecological surgery, and the colon-cleansing particles are worthy of clinical popularization and application.

The invention provides a colon cleansing solution comprising:a) 300 to 800 mmol per litre ascorbate anion provided by a mixture of:(i) ascorbic acid and(ii) one or more salts of ascorbic acidthe components (i) and (ii) being present in a molar ratio of from 1:4.5 to 1:7.0; andb) 10 to 200 g per litre polyethylene glycol.The invention also provides methods an kits associated with, or making use of the solutions, and compositions for the preparation of the solutions.

The invention relates to sea buckthorn calcium and a preparation method thereof, wherein, the sea buckthorn calcium comprises the following ingredients by weight percentage: calcium fruit powders accounting for 40 to 60 percent, sea buckthorn powders accounting for 10 to 30 percent, asparagus powders accounting for 10 to 25 percent and collagen protein powders accounting for 5 to 20 percent. The sea buckthorn calcium and the preparation method thereof can achieve better calcium absorption efficiency, can also achieve the efficacies of cancer prevention and treatment as well as beauty, and canachieve the auxiliary efficacies lowering cholesterol and blood fat, enhancing blood vessel elasticity, lowering blood pressure, reducing platelet aggregation and reducing heart attack. The sea buckthorn calcium and the preparation method thereof can regulate hyperglycemia, can reduce diabetic shock, and can reduce the attack probability of rectal cancer and gastric cancer. Sea buckthorn calcium can be combined with fat, so that the effects of colon cleansing, detoxication and blood cleaning can be achieved, and impurities in human bodies can be eliminated. The sea buckthorn calcium is particularly suitable for being taken by middleaged and elderly people, patients suffered from high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and hyperglycemia and the people easy to catch a cold.
