The invention is further directed to the use of chitosans to accelerate nail growth rate during treatment of nail illnesses, nail dystrophy or other nail conditions, in order to shorten considerably the specific treatments of said nail illnesses, nail dystrophy or other nail conditions.

The invention relates to a growth adjustable one-way nail, belongs to the field of medical instrument, and is applied to an orthopedic surgery. The growth adjustable one-way nail is composed of a growing cap ring (1), an inner hexagonal screw plug (2), an elastic pressing block (3) and a growth screw body (4), and is characterized in that the center of the grow cap ring (1) is provided with a through hole, and the right end of the grow cap ring (1) is provided with an opening; threads are placed on the outer surface of the inner hexagonal screw plug (2), a through hole is placed in the center of the inner hexagonal screw plug (2), and the left end of the inner hexagonal screw plug (2) is provided with an inner hexagonal hole; the center of the elastic pressing block (3) is provided with a through hole, the surface of the elastic pressing block (3) is provided with steps, the right end of the elastic pressing block (3) is provided with a through groove, and the left end of the elastic pressing block (3) is provided with a groove and steps; and the growth screw body (4) is provided with taper threads, a U-shaped groove and inner threads. A fixing operation is implemented, a fixing segment is confirmed, embedded depth and directions are ensured, holes are drilled, the screw and a vertebral column stick are embedded, the elastic pressing block (3) is selectively embedded, the vertebral column stick is pre-bended, the screw plug is screwed in and is tightly compressed to a final locking position and to a required state of the operation.

The invention provides a dust prevention artificial nail. The dust prevention artificial nail comprises one end portion, another end portion, an artificial nail bed and two snug fit portions. The end portion is formed in the same direction as the free edge of a nail and has a curvature. Another end portion is located on one side opposite to the end portion. The artificial nail bed is provided with nail walls and is in a nail shape, so bonding surfaces of the artificial nail bed can be attached to a support, wherein the nail walls are located on the two sides of the end portion and the two sides of another end portion. The snug fit portions extend from another end portion of the artificial nail bed and have bending surfaces facing towards the bonding surfaces. The dust prevention artificial nail enables the gap between the nail and the artificial nail bed to be minimum, so dirt can be prevented from blocking in the gap, bonding force of binding agents can be maintained for a long time, the phenomenon that the artificial nail bed is separated from the nail when another end portion of the artificial nail bed and the nail walls collide with objects in the moving process can be prevented, and another end portion of the artificial nail bed can still make contact with cuticles under the condition that the tail has grown for a certain period.

This invention provides novel methods for inducing hair growth and / or inhibiting hair loss and / or inducing nail growth in a mammal. In various embodiments the methods involve administering, e.g., to a mammal in need thereof, a calcium-binding peptide and / or peptide-like moiety in an amount sufficient to induce hair growth and / or to inhibit hair loss. In certain embodiments the agent is topically and / or transdermally administered.
