The present invention provides an odorless fixing composition for fixing silver halide photographic media. The composition includes ammonium thiosulfate as a halide solubilizing agent and a non-volatile organic acid for pH buffering. Preferably, the acid is glycolic acid, succinic acid, or a derivative thereof. In addition, the present invention provides a method for fixing silver halide photographic media by exposing the developed media to the odorless fixer composition.

Odorless fixing solution

A composition and method are provided for the making of cholesterol containing phospholipid liposomes such that when dried and then reconstituted, the liposomes retain their structure and size distribution as well as substantially all of the material that was originally encapsulated, and they behave biologically in a normal fashion. The cryoprotective agents are used in the aqueous medium to hydrate the phospholipid(s) and are a combination of at least one sugar and at least one protein, polypeptide, and/or oligopeptide.

Method of making liposomes with improved stability during drying

Liposomes with hyperosmotic concentration of compounds encapsulated therein are targeted to tumors for neutron capture therapy. The compounds have an element with a large neutron capture cross section and an isotope that emits alpha particles when bombarded with neutrons. A method employing such liposomes for neutron capture therapy is also described.

A method of rejuvenating and repairing a rubber printing blanket comprising the steps of contacting a rubber sweller solvent such as N-methyl-2-pyrrodidone with a thickening agent such as carboxypolymethylene to form a gelable mixture, and applying the resulting mixture to the rubber printing blanket.

Method of rejuvenating rubber printing blankets

Delivery vehicles comprising an outer biocompatible encapsulating layer, an inner amphiphilic active ingredient-associated layer and an active ingredient are described. The delivery vehicles are biocompatible and are capable of solubilizing the active ingredient for in vivo delivery to bodily tissue or other bodily systems. Uses include nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and therapeutic drug delivery.
