An implantable device for the treatment of acid reflux disease has a body including an outer surface adapted to rest against a patient's fundus wall. The device, when implanted in a patient, fills a volume in the patient's abdomen in the cardia area and above the cardia of the patient, when standing. The body prevents the cardia from moving through the diaphragm opening into the thorax, thereby preventing reflux by keeping the abdominal pressure supporting the cardia sphincter muscle. The device may be affixed to stomach tissue. The device may also be invaginated or otherwise indirectly secured in position.

A unit dosage form, such as a capsule or the like, for delivering drugs into the body in a circadian release fashion comprising one or more populations of drug-containing particles (beads, pellets, granules, etc.) is disclosed. Each bead population exhibits a pre-designed rapid or sustained release profile with or without a predetermined lag time of 3 to 5 hours. Such a circadian rhythm release drug delivery system is designed to provide a plasma concentration-time profile, which varies according to physiological need at different times during the dosing period, i.e., mimicking the circadian rhythm and severity/manifestation of gastric acid secretion (and/or midnight gerd), predicted based on pharmaco-kinetic and pharmaco-dynamic considerations and in vitro/in vivo correlations.

The invention provides a lactobacillus helveticus microcapsule as well as the preparation and application thereof, pertaining to the embedding technology of lactobacillus helveticus and aiming at microencapsulating the lactobacillus helveticus so as to solve the problems of low embedding efficiency and embedding yield in single-layer or double-layer embedment.
